Make sure you are not in a channel that you are banned in before trying to regain your nick. As for the channel ban on #ffmpeg, you'll need to talk to them. Yeah, I finally figured out that NickServ acts as a clearinghouse for the channels, and that I needed to regain my name via NickServ before lo...

There's always the easy workaround - set your router to give a long lease.

Yeah, but that doesn't really fix the problem, does it?

The easier fix is to not use Mint 19.

In my last post I wrote, "Big surprise above: It appears that The Good (not The Bad) is the VM getting new IPs. I don't understand that." That was false. The Good is 192.168.0.3, has always been 192.168.0.3, will probably always be 192.168.0.3. I don't know why The Good recorded IP traffic to/from T...

I closed all VMs. In the Host, I confirmed that router lease time is 10 minutes (600 sec). I launched both VMs: Mint18.3 (The Good) & Mint19.2 (The Bad) -- I guess that leaves the Win10 Host as The Ugly. I submitted 'sudo tcpdump -vvv > ~/tcmpdump.log' to both and let them run. 1st pruning on '192.1...

Question - if you boot the 19.2 VM, then disconnect and reconnect manually does it reuse the same lease - i.e. do you retain the same IP? Another potential troubleshooting step. In both your 18.3VMs and 19.2VMs, run sudo tcpdump -vvv > tcmpdump.log after booting up and leave it running on both for ...

Just as a sanity check is your dhclient up to date in 19.2? Run apt policy isc-dhcp-client mark@mark-VirtualBox:~$ apt policy isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-client: Installed: 4.3.5-3ubuntu7.1 Candidate: 4.3.5-3ubuntu7.1 Version table: *** 4.3.5-3ubuntu7.1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-...

18.3 VM with 1 hr lease - the behaviour appears to be the same as the 19.2VM - lots of repeated DHCPREQUEST entries from the renewal time, but no actual renewal until the lease has expired. That's not quite what's happening. The lease is 1 hr. The 1st renewal request is at 30 min. Mint disconnects ...

I've done some reading. My router's lease time is 1 hour (3600 sec). The way DHCP works, the DHCP client (Mint) requests a new lease at 1/2 it's remaining lease time (30 min). If that fails, it requests next at 1/2 that remaining lease time (15 min). If that fails, (7-1/2 min). And so on. So why a n...

In the new, virgin (no Guest Additions) MInt 19.2 VM, the network disconnections/reconnections are occuring.

No improvement. I let the bad VM run for just short of 8 hours and got 16 disconnections/reconnections. The thing that makes me think this is a kernel problem is that the leases are being cut short. By kernel, it could be the Linux kernel, or the kernel mods that are made by the VBox Guest Additions...

Okay, I'm guessing that mkdir failed on directory /var/run/samba/msg.lock: Permission denied is bogus -- not permission denied, but actually because /var/run/samba/msg.lock doesn't exist, and that Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 is bogus too -- not connection issue but protocol issue instead. ...

May I ask why you are running "net session" in the first place? To see what it does. Based on your last post it would appear that you either don't have samba installed sudo apt install samba or you have it installed but misconfigured it testparm -s I'm acquainted with server message block. I never ...

... The connection you are using.

Ah! In Linux. Sure. I thought you meant in the VM settings. Guess I'm just being dense.

Okay, I did it. I'll let the bad VM run for awhile to see if there's any improvement.

I know what this means in the world. What does it mean for Linux? mark@mark-VirtualBox ~ $ net session mkdir failed on directory /var/run/samba/msg.lock: Permission denied Enter mark's password: Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED This is in a Linux ...

Lease is for 1 hour (3600 seconds), but it expires in 27 minutes?
