ASP.NET Core API response becomes slow when handling multiple concurrent requests with Entity Framework [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565910/asp-net-core-api-response-becomes-slow-when-handling-multiple-concurrent-request

I am currently developing a Web API using ASP.NET Core with Entity Framework Core and SQL Server. It runs perfectly well with a couple of users, but when more than one request comes into the system simultaneously, its performance degrades drastically.

Below is a sample of the code I have written:

public async Task<IActionResult> GetUsers()
{
    var users = await _context.Users.ToListAsync();
    return Ok(users);
}

Environmental Information:

  • ASP.NET Core 7
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQL Server
  • Approximately 50–100 simultaneous requests while testing

Issue: As the number of simultaneous requests grows, response time is incredibly slow and CPU utilization increases. At times, requests are timed out.

My Attempts at Solution:

  • Examined database indexes
  • Enabled logging for tracking query
  • processing Performed testing using small data

sets

Query: What might be the reason for this issue during simultaneous requests, and what measures can be taken to enhance performance in such a situation?

Ubuntu "sensors" command: Composite temperature is fine (48.9°C) but Sensor 1 is high (70.8°C)? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565907/ubuntu-sensors-command-composite-temperature-is-fine-48-9c-but-sensor-1-is

The version of the OS is Ubuntu 22.04. When I checked the temperature with sensors command, one of the SSDs shows high temperature in one of the sensors (Sensor 1), but OK Composite temperature.

  • Adapter: PCI adapter

  • Composite: +48.9°C (low = -40.1°C, high = +89.8°C) (crit = +93.8°C)

  • Sensor 1: +70.8°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

  • Sensor 2: +40.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

Why is the Sensor 1 temperature so high and should I do anything about it? It may be the SSD sitting under the GPU (RTX6000 series), but the GPU is currently idle and the GPU itself is 31°C.

Everything works fine—the VLAN is functioning as it should.

Perhaps this isn't a problem, but I'd like to understand the reason for the warning messages.

I tried removing the renderer: the warning messages remain.

It's not seeing the cabled modem or WiFi, and cable hotspot too. Headphones are also not working, and it seems to be ignoring the graphics card. Are there any other options I can use to try to fix this, so I can try to revert the update?

It was working OK before, although RSSEED32 has been broken for a few months, so the corresponding Cruid? had been disabled. I believe it was some kind of workaround for an unfixable physical security flaw.

Annoying "usb 3-2.3: device descriptor read/64, error -110" errors https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565901/annoying-usb-3-2-3-device-descriptor-read-64-error-110-errors

I have found similar questions, but the suggested methods didn't work for me. Basically every time I boot I get a lot of these errors. dmesg shows that this occurs several times before the system gives up with usb 3-2-port3: unable to enumerate USB device.

I have searched a lot, but nothing seems to be working. Here's things I have done/noticed:

  • Cleaning, unplugging everything, restarting, removing battery, ...

  • lsusb -t doesn't list anything with bus 3 port 2.3

  • I think the faulty device is the fingerprint reader, since it never worked properly and now I noticed that the laptop doesn't even detect it anymore (and I don't see any device resembling it when running lsusb)

  • I can't lock it from the bios. I tried to lock other devices just to try, like the entire touchpad (on which the fingerprint reader sits), but the error persists.

  • I tried writing a udev rule to unauthorize the device, but it didn't work.

I don't really know what to try anymore, but the problem is really annoying, since it occurs every time I "unsuspend" or boot my system, and sometimes shutdown and suspend freeze for some time before succeeding, and I think it's because of this.

Lenovo Thinkpad LAN USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565889/lenovo-thinkpad-lan-usb-3-0-to-ethernet-adapter

We have a payment system currently running windows 10 on Raspberry Pi's. A Linux platform is now in development instead.

Right now we can access those RPI's via Teamviewer over a MiniPC or an Intel Stick in each location.

Making to move to Linux, it makes sense to transform those MiniPC's to Ubuntu Server (jumphost) and connect to the PI's through SSH.

I have installed Ubuntu Server 24.04 on one of them.

Now I just need to get a connection through on the LAN adapter.

Got a script on how-to from the developers off our payment system.

Netplan for this.

enter image description here

Changing parameters to this.

enter image description here

And that's where the guide sort of ends.

When I save it, what should I call it?

It suggests the same name as when I opened Netplan, but that can't be right.

I asked Gemini, but that's just as unclear as the guide.

What is the terminal that openbox session or log in use in lubuntu 22.04? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565886/what-is-the-terminal-that-openbox-session-or-log-in-use-in-lubuntu-22-04

I was trying to use openbox login in session at startup (the light bluescreen ofLubuntu 22.04 where I can choice Lubuntu or lxqt or OpenBox (I am specking about this openbox of start up I mean session login, and not about window manager of Lubuntu session).

I use Lubuntu 22.04 with2 GB RAM so I was thinking that open box would be an interesting alternative..

Lubuntu has openbox, I don't need to download openbox

I was trying because I failed to use openbox: the terminal from menu popup do nothing. and the pop up menu only work gnome charmap and tint2

I installed (I saw vids on yout...) obmenu tint2 and terminals: Terminator, xterm an lxterminal from my distro (now 5 was uninstalled) because never I could use terminal ...

What is the terminal that openbox use?

Thank you and Regards!

data recovery software [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565874/data-recovery-software

Can anyone recommend some good disk data recovery software for Linux? I have a 4 Tb disk that was my primary Ubuntu 22.04 drive about 3/4 full that has a damaged GRUB and wouldn't boot. I spent about 2 weeks trying every repair command line strategy Google could come up with without any success. As a last resort I re-installed Grub from the installation USB. Now it boots but doesn't access any of the 257,410 items that 'properties' describes as unavailable. I presume that means I have overwritten some or all of my root directory. I have a new installation of Ubuntu 24.04 on a different computer with a larger drive so I have a safe place to put any recovered files. All the recovery software that Google comes up with seems to be for Mac and Windows and runs on Mac or Windows. I have 5 different flavors of Linux but no Mac or Windows. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Ubuntu 24.04 suddenly slow after update – how to fix performance issues? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565767/ubuntu-24-04-suddenly-slow-after-update-how-to-fix-performance-issues

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and everything was working fine until a recent system update.

After updating, I started noticing:

  • System feels very slow (apps take longer to open)
  • High CPU usage even when idle
  • Occasional lag/freezing

I already tried:

  • Restarting the system
  • Running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  • Checking running processes with top

...but the issue is still there.

Is this related to a recent kernel/update issue? How can I diagnose and fix this properly?

Oracle VirtualBox: how to start a VM with GUI (not headless) at boot time of the Host and power off the VM at the shutdown of the Host? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1542583/oracle-virtualbox-how-to-start-a-vm-with-gui-not-headless-at-boot-time-of-the

On my lubuntu 24.04 distribution I have installed the hypervisor Oracle VirtualBox 7.1.6 and I have imported a Virtual Machine (called my-virtual-machine below in this question).

Start and Power Off a Virtual Machine by command lines

I have found how to start and power off a Virtual Machine by command line:

  1. To start a Virtual Machine:
/usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm 'my-virtual-machine' --type gui
  1. To power off a Virtual Machine:
/usr/bin/VBoxManage controlvm 'my-virtual-machine' acpipowerbutton

Descriptions of my needs

I have the following needs:

  1. to start my-virtual-machine (the Guest) automatically at boot time of my Host (that is lubuntu 24.04)
  2. to Power Off my-virtual-machine at the shutdown of the Host
  3. the Virtual Machine must to be start with the GUI and not headless

By this post, which is very old and refers to VirtalBox 4.2 but seems yet valid for VirtualBox 7.1, I'm able to solve my first request and perhaps the second request.

The problem is the third request because the method explained by the post allows to start the virtual machine at boot of the Host system but in headless mode and not with the GUI. When the Vitual Machine is correctly started I can see the following 2 process by ps aux command:

> ps aux | grep VBox
[...] /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless --comment my-virtual-machine --startvm 546632bd-b8bd-4f2d-b2a1-8657b968378a --vrde config
[...] /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC --auto-shutdown --inherit-startup-pipe 7

How can I fix my Ubuntu 24.04 with broken package system? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526455/how-can-i-fix-my-ubuntu-24-04-with-broken-package-system

I am contacting you in order to receive help to repair my Ubuntu OS. Two weeks ago I tried to install a protection against viruses and other cyber threats on my Ubuntu 22.04 system, but I did something wrong, which resulted in the APP Center being completely deleted and therefore, the applications for Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Music Player as well as Clementine, among other applications, being uninstalled. To try to solve the problem, I upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, thinking that all the packages would be reinstalled and everything would go back to normal. But that was not the case, now everything remains the same and the software updater does not work when installing updates, warning me that: The package system is broken. I would greatly appreciate your help in this regard. My laptop is a Lenovo G50-70 and the OS is Ubuntu 24.04.

Is a screen capture of the Software updater to explain why it can't install the files

Ubuntu 24.04 APT - Specify Architecture Using .sources Files https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514281/ubuntu-24-04-apt-specify-architecture-using-sources-files

I have a strange thing I cannot figure out. Have checked manpages, etc. So hoping someone else had the same issue.

To convert from a normal .list file to a .sources file, as is now used in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I will use tor as an example:

Old way (tor.list):

deb [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main

New Way (tor.sources):

Types: deb
URIs: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org
Suites: jammy
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg

The problem I have is this:

In the tor.sources, from what I can find, there is no way to specify the arch / architecture. I've tried arch, architecture, system, etc. Nothing works.

This is the error I get:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

I know this is a cosmetic thing and it mostly just effects logs, etc. But, simply finding a way to specify the arch would fix this entirely.

Anyone has any ideas?

VMware Workstation Running Ubuntu Freezes Frequently https://askubuntu.com/questions/1491730/vmware-workstation-running-ubuntu-freezes-frequently

I hope you can help me with an issue I've encountered recently.

Setup:

VM Software: VMware Workstation 17.5
Guest OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2
Host OS: Windows 11 22H2
Hardware: Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU

Background: Everything was working fine until a few days ago.

The Problem: Recently, my Ubuntu VM started freezing intermittently. Here's what happens:

  • I can move the cursor, but clicking anywhere doesn't have any effect.
  • The keyboard becomes unresponsive and its lights turn off.
  • Animations inside the VM, such as window movements and the clock updating, remain functional.
  • I can still use CTRL + ALT to switch back to the host, which continues to work normally.
  • In rare cases, if I wait for a while, the VM becomes responsive again. However, in most instances, I have to restart it. After a restart, it works fine for a bit but eventually runs into the same problem.

What I've Tried:

  • I've searched various forums and tried suggestions such as enabling the enhanced keyboard feature, but it didn't help.
  • I attempted to create a new VM from scratch, yet the issue persists.
  • I've ensured that the VM has ample memory and threads allocated.

I'm not very knowledgeable about Ubuntu or VMs in general. Can someone guide me on how to solve this problem? What additional information do you need from me to assist further?

Thank you for your time and help!

Is it possible to launch nautilus or gedit with elevated privileges? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1370916/is-it-possible-to-launch-nautilus-or-gedit-with-elevated-privileges

Sometimes I need to edit files in /etc. I know I can do this with the console (sudo mv some/file /etc/some/file, sudo nano /etc/some/file) etc, but I find this way a bit clunky. Call me spoiled, but I'm really used to GUI tools such as Nautilus and Gedit.

Distributions such as Ubuntu Mate or Mint make it easy: I can right click a folder and then a context menu appears with options such as "open as administrator". From then double-clicking a text file opens it in gedit with elevated privileges.

However, I can't find such an option in the default Unity version of Ubuntu:

enter image description here

Note:

  • I am aware of the question Ways to run Nautilus with elevated privileges , but the solution recommended here is to use gksudo, which no longer works
  • I suppose I can always do sudo gedit /etc/whatever, but - AFAIK - using sudo with GUI tools is heavily ill-advised
  • I recall some say that it is ill-advised to run GUI tools with elevated privileges at all. This doesn't seem to be the case, however, since some default GUI tools themselves ask for elevation, Ubuntu Software being perhaps one of the most prominent examples:

Is there a way to run Nautilus or Gedit with elevated privileges?

Need to change default boot order. Instead of Ubuntu 21.04 to Windows 7 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1341389/need-to-change-default-boot-order-instead-of-ubuntu-21-04-to-windows-7

I have now three hard disks in my desktop. A Samsung SSD that boots Win7, a Toshiba HDD which is not bootable, and yesterday I added a Crucial SSD which boots Ubuntu 21.04.

If I now simply start my computer, Linux on the Crucial will boot..

If at startup I press F11 this allows to choose between these three and surprisingly, a non-existing fourth named "Ubuntu"(?). If I click on the Samsung then Windows will boot, if I click on the Crucial (or Ubuntu) Ubuntu will boot. As you can see on the left of the two pictures:

https://ibb.co/ctB75g0

The right picture shows what I get when press F2, the boot order setting at the ASRock Motherboard, while booting, I only get to "choose" between the identical Crucial and Ubuntu...

I want the Samsung to boot Win7 as default. From what I have heard, I have to do this in Ubuntu, and I know absolutely nothing about it. How do I make this change?

It was suggested to use grub-customizer for this, but as the picture shows, it does not even see the Samsung disk with the Windows.

https://ibb.co/fq1bKZC

My Win7 is not an UEFI, it is a legacy installation. Could that be the reason?

What does it mean?

This is a generic error message that unfortunately can happen in a number of cases.
How to solve it?

A frequent case for this error message on Debian-based distributions (like   raspbian) is that rsyslog.conf contains the instruction to write to the xconsole pipe, but this pipe is never read. If so, you can simply delete these lines to remove the error message. These lines are usually found at the end of rsyslog.conf.

For other error message, it probably is a good idea to check rsyslog’s issue tracker at github and file a new issue if you can’t find a related case.

I can't see in my /etc/rsyslog.conf file what they mean by "instruction to write to the xconsole pipe"

Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS getting CIFS VFS: Free previous auth_key.response = https://askubuntu.com/questions/1048395/ubuntu-server-18-04-lts-getting-cifs-vfs-free-previous-auth-key-response

I recently set up Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS on an old laptop to use as a Plex Media server, and wanted to connect it to my existing media share on my QNAP NAS. I set this up using CIFS, and it seems to work, but every now an then i get the following message appear on the screen.

CIFS VFS: Free previous auth_key.response = 0000000076b9d676

The number at the end always changes. How do I get rid of this message??

Btw here is how I setup access to the share

Install cifs-utils

sudo apt install cifs-utils

Create mount directory

sudo mkdir /mnt/nas_media

Create credentials file

cat > ~/.smbcredentials
username=myusername
password=mypassword
ctrl+c

sudo chown root ~/.smbcredentials
sudo chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials

Get UID for plex user account

id -u plex

I'll be using 113 as the UID for this example

Backup fstab file

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-old

Add share to fstab

sudo vi /etc/fstab

press i to enter insert mode go to end of file and enter a new line add the following

Note ip, sharename and username have been changed for privacy. Also vers=3.0 was set because that is the version of samba I have set on my nas.

//192.168.1.50/MyShare /mnt/nas_media cifs vers=3.0,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/myusername/.smbcredentials,uid=113 0 0

type :wq to save and exit vi

Load the new mount point

mount -a

btw I've also rebooted the server and the message always comes back. Plex is able to read and write to the share, so I'm not too sure why this message is coming up.

Is there anything I missed?

Change brightness on Asus laptop https://askubuntu.com/questions/762643/change-brightness-on-asus-laptop

I believe it's a big question among asus users, cause i've found tons of questions about "why do my backlight don't change with fn keys??".

Well... after to much researching and testing (I'm a linux noob btw :P), I found that the Fn keys change the value of the file /sys/class/backlight/asus_laptop/brightness. But, to change correctly the brightness, the file /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness must be changed.

I even created a script to change it through bash, works alright and stuff... i just type ./brightness 50, where 50 means the % of the maximum brightness... but i still miss my Fn keys, for God's sake!!

Then I tried to simply change the symlinks that redirects the folders (asus_laptop and intel_backlight are symlinks to very opposed directions), but not even sudo was capable to change these symlinks...

In resume, I'm asking help to re-enable my Fn keys to work with the backlight brightness.

Thanks!

Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't boot since 3.13.0-64 https://askubuntu.com/questions/691944/ubuntu-14-04-doesnt-boot-since-3-13-0-64

This is a Dell Inspiron 3551, with Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit preinstalled processor: Intel® Pentium(R) CPU N3540 @ 2.16GHz × 4. Quickly after system update, it starts to crash when booting.

I don't know much about Linux. I wanted to try it, that is why I choose a preinstalled Ubuntu. When it crashes, there is a bunch of text ending with a kernel panic.

Crash from September 15 after updating to 3.13.0-63:
