Why do you want a dedicated server? I'm not familiar with the colocation vs. rented server economic dynamics in Italy, but at least in the US you'd almost always buy a server and take it to colocation. It's generally far cheaper than renting a full server even after just a year or so.
If you are renting, normally you want partial servers and OVH is good and EU based. But I use Vultr in the EU and very happy with them.
-
Just checked, OVH and Vultr both have dedicated options.

I like Vultr a lot. Do you really need this much power for your needs? You only mentioned doing downloading. Why a dedicated server for downloading?
-
@scottalanmiller because a give ftp access to my friends so i need a dedicated server, before i used windows server but is too much expensive, i pass to ubuntu but i see that have several problem

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 -

Oh, that makes no sense at all. Don't use a dedicated server. That's not at all a reason for that.

What's the purpose of the X2Go for file downloading? Why not just use SFTP or whatever and use a local tool for that?

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.
-
Updates are STILL running!
-
Just got to the stage where it said "this may take several hours more."
-
Hey, it finally rebooted.
-
@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 || trueTo this line...
tty -s && mesg n || true
