please help me with a special command for this..because when I type dmesg .. I got a bunch of logs..what should I type

Clean up the system and check it for errors:

FORMAT C:
SYS A: C:
CHKDSK C: /R

You need a MS-DOS floppy disk to run these commands.
It works well in our computer lab.

I am running ubuntu on server which I dont have access..

floppy?

Ubuntu is awesome, but MS-DOS floppy is the fundamental tool for repairing computers.
Wonder what's happening behind the scenes in Geek Squad?
It's floppies all the way down.

Buy a floppy in RadioShack.
Rent a bicycle and ride to the data center.
If it's across the ocean, you also need a kayak or a sailboat.

Oh and don't trust OVH.
Sooner or later they'll burn down the building and ask you to execute your disaster recovery plan.

What are you using the dedicated server to do. This will help

Who knows.

Regardless, you will run into issues sooner or later. A dedicated server requires maintenance which I doubt you know how.

I have started learning linux friend

@deank said: error log

please help me with a special command for this..because when I type dmesg .. I got a bunch of logs..what should I type

I am very new to Linux and still learning

If you don't know the meaning of logs then maybe the unmanaged server is not for you.

Kindly please provide us the full log so someone can help.

Also do you use OVH kernel when you installed the os?

Edited: if you need urgent help from OVH then try to call them otherwise you have to wait for days.

I know meaning of logs..just wanted to know which specific log because log I was getting very big

I am using thier template of Ubuntu...

I contacted them via forum and create ticket..

Now after 6 hours without restarting server from control panel my server seems running

He asked because you might need to hire a sys admin.

what kind of magic he will do if ovh saying the fault is hardware one?

I have magic fingers

That's great ☺️ I will also try to learn like you

I choose them because of their low price...but you are right

A cheap VPS would have been far better.

This is the cheapest one I found but lesson learnt

The things I like about them is I can do whatever I want without any restrictions which no other companies provide at these prices

How would that be any different? Honest question. At least OVH did something, can't really say the same about one host offering VPS-s here can we.

Kimsufi has dedicated cores, while cheap VPS has shared cores with a suspension hammer.
It all depends on whether your workload demands better CPU (go for dedicated) or disk/network (VPS is usually better).

KS-3 is $9.99/month.
You get 2 cores at 1.86GHz that you can fully use at all times.
However, those crummy spinning rusts and mediocre networks.

EntryBytes 4GB is $6.28/month (monthly billing) (paid link; non-aff).
You get 2 cores at 2GHz but you can only use 20%, so they are effectively 0.4GHz each.
They are new generation CPU with more efficient instruction sets, but that couldn't compensate for much lower usable frequency.
You get SSD and premium network though.

Well, People fail and you need to fail and fuck up.
Its painful yes, but it does result in a learning curve.

All fine and dandy but seedboxes don't need SSD. Spindles are just fine for that, especially if that spindle is dedicated to you. Network tho, gotta give you that.

It sounds like you have no clue what you are doing, the 'is someone hacking me' is usually the thought process for someone that does not know what they are doing.

Reminds me of this XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/1180/

You might want to learn more about Linux admin (eg by running a VM on your computer) before maintaining a publicly-accessible unmanaged server.

Yes but no at the same time .

For some hardware issues, there is nothing in the logs.

Yeah I am surprised they fix the issue in 6 hours & server is running fine since 12 hours
