Solution:

Disabled hyper-v by doing the following.

• Open 'Turn Windows features on or off'

(search for that in the start menu)

• Untick hyper-v, Windows hypervisior platform and virtual machine platform.

• Start the command prompt as an administrator.

(type cmd in the start menu, right click 'command prompt' and select 'run as administrator')

• Run the following command

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

After a restart it seemed to install and work.

//--Enable hypervisor

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?

# Solution solved

Check which other process is running the apt command (package manager for handling software)

ps -A | grep apt

ps aux | grep apt

ps afx|grep dpkg

Get the process ID of the process holding the lock files

sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend

sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock

sudo lsof /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

sudo lsof /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Replace the <process_id> with the number you got in the output of previous command.

sudo kill -9 <pid>

sudo kill -SIGKILL <pid>

sudo killall dpkg

sudo killall apt apt-get

Remove the lock files

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Reconfigure the packages

sudo dpkg --configure -a

# Run your process you want, if isn't work follow next step

apt --fix-broken install

Clear the logs properly for a Docker container

sudo sh -c "truncate -s 0 /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log"

To get the size of the logs

sudo sh -c "du -ch /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log"

To only get the total of the size of the logs

sudo sh -c "du -ch /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log | grep total"

Solution1:

Linux uses mail for sending notifications to the user.

Most Linux distributions have a mail service including an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) installed.

Ubuntu doesn't though.

You can install a mail service, postfix for example, to solve this problem.

sudo apt-get install postfix

Solution2:

Discard it at the crontab to prevent cron from trying to send an e-mail.

sudo crontab -e

-- At the top of the file, add

MAILTO=""

-- Or add >/dev/null 2>&1 to every job:

* * * * * yourCommand >/dev/null 2>&1

• iptables is the main firewall. It talks to the kernel. It's more complicated.

• ufw wants to make it "uncomplicated" ("ufw" stands for "uncomplicated firewall"). It talks to iptables. It's a command line tool.

• The G in Gufw must stand for "graphical", which should provide a click-click interface for ufw. It talks to ufw. It's a GUI.

• Fail2ban scans log files and bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc.

Link: https://forum.cardano.org/t/solving-the-cardano-node-huge-memory-usage-done/67032

Solved relays and producer memory usage problem:

-- some of relays would end up using all of their RAM

-- and start swapping

-- and suffering from IO delays until restarted

Get the default RTS parameters the node is compiled with using the following command:

cardano-node +RTS --info

So the default parameters are:

-T -I0 -A16m -N2 --disable-delayed-os-memory-return

RTS parameters that will save you a large amount of server’s RAM

+RTS -N2 --disable-delayed-os-memory-return -I0.3 -Iw600 -A16m -F1.5 -H2500M -T -S -RTS

+RTS -N4 --disable-delayed-os-memory-return -I0.3 -Iw300 -A16m -F1.5 -H3G -T -S -n4m -RTS

To use these parameters, you need to launch the node like this:

cardano-node +RTS \

-N2 --disable-delayed-os-memory-return \

-I0.3 -Iw600 \

-A16m -F1.5 -H2500M -T -S \

-RTS run \

--your-usual-parameters

Parameters explain:

-N2 tells the RTS to dispatch the programs threads on 2 cpus (using -N without a number will make it use all the CPUs available)

--disable-delayed-os-memory-return tells the RTS to use a different and less optimized way to release memory so that GNU/Linux performance tools such as top and htop report the correct amount of resident memory being used (mostly useless as explained above)

-I0.3 tells the RTS to perform a major GC if the node has been idle for 0.3s

-Iw600 tells the RTS to perform the above major GC only if the last one happened more than 10 minutes ago.

-A16m is the size of the new block allocated in the hot zone, it should be adapted according to the number of cpu you configured with the -N parameter

-F1.5 roughly tells the RTS to keep allocated 1.5 times more than the amount of live data it found when it started its last major GC.

-H2500M forces the RTS to allocate 2.5GB of RAM at startup and keep this minimum allocated. (the node’s live data is usually around 2GB, so this seems appropriate)

-T makes the RTS statistics available programmatically.

-S makes the node print various garbage collection statistics on the standard error output

## Important informations:

-- Cardano Node - (Core - Mainnet) - mean that the node runs as a BP

-- Processed TX - mean that the node is processing TX

-- Peers - show how many Relays your BP is connected (for more informations about peers press “p”)

-- KES informations - show the KEYS are still valid, the date when will gone expire

-- BLOCKS - THE MOST IMPORTANT information - show that the node is ready to create BLOCKS

[5 day/Epoch]: Each Epoch duration for 5 days

60 x 60 x 24 x 5 = 432,000 second/epoch

[1 block/20 seconds]: 1 Block is produced for every 20 second

Blockchain Density = 1/20 = 5%

432,000 x Density = 432,000 x 5% = 21,600 block/epoch

The density measures the actual block production rate.

Example: Density = 4.872%

4.872% / 5% = 97.44 % of blocks are actually produced
