      If this problem can not be solved I will return the server and I will see it in some other way. I need you something for the time and the patience I've been wasting this evenin

      It's not going to be a problem to solve, but we've determined that this server doesn't make any sense for you to have. What are the technology requirements for your downloads? Is it just capacity? Vultr might do what you need for just $5 if that's all that this is for. And X2Go might not be needed (or useful) depending.

        I would rather have a dedicated server because there are other guys like me, so they also use it at the same time. If you can solve the problem and let me do this, I'm infinitely grateful to you.

          That doesn't make sense as a reason. Offline we discussed your capacity needs and that makes it make sense. But no amount of sharing would cause you to want a dedicated server.

            I've been running broader updates for hours.

            Looks like there might be a basic TTY bug in the profile. Will be checking on that once it finishes up what it is doing.

                Just got to the stage where it said "this may take several hours more."

                    @gilberto You said that you needed 4TB of capacity. But this machine only has 2TB.

                      I've seen some unexpected, very high IOWait numbers. You might have disk problems underneath somewhere. It seems like it is waiting on the disks a lot. There are four RAID arrays attached here, all software RAID.

                        All fixed. Did a full update, then had to modify the /root/.profile file from this line...

                        mesg n || true
                        

                        To this line...

                        tty -s && mesg n || true
