04:05:03 <DeanGuss> after giving up on getting my monerod to work for 6 months, then seeing 5 or so stability fixes in the latest linux cli release, I gave monero another shot at syncing today and I am still running into the problem of it consuming 100% of 1 cpu core and monero.log saying:
04:05:07 <DeanGuss> 2021-07-03 03:24:28.411	[P2P9]	INFO	global	src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl:1680	Synced 2313976/2396226 (96%, 82250 left)
04:05:07 <DeanGuss> 2021-07-03 03:25:26.669	[P2P9]	WARNING	global	src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl:2910	monerod is now disconnected from the network
04:05:25 <DeanGuss> and it stops syncing
04:06:03 <DeanGuss> If anybody would like to help me track down what is going on I would love to help in any way I can
04:06:22 <DeanGuss> I am however pretty dumb so you'll have to dumb it down for me :)
05:21:25 <mj-xmr> thanks, sethsimmons 
06:06:22 <mj-xmr> selsta: is it known, that the default ubuntu-latest is now 20.04? If no, should we revert to 18 explicitly?
06:15:13 <mj-xmr> (in Github actions that is)
06:29:44 <mj-xmr> Anyways, in order to be able to test various Boost versions, I need to use various Ubuntu versions explicitly anyway, since a given year's version typically only supports up to 2 Boost versions.
07:40:02 <mj-xmr> OK, now I see why we shouldn't roll back to 18.04 for now - because it doesn't build under it. I'll start a couple of PRs that address this.
08:00:25 <dEBRUYNE> DeanGuss: Have you already tried using a different drive to sync the blockchain to?
08:03:48 <mj-xmr> ... or an SSD?
11:26:13 <greenlukaz[m]> HI guys, I hope you all are doing well. I want to experiment with Monero, but both faucets seem to be down. Anyone experiencing similar issues?
11:29:34 <moneromooo> Dunno, but testnet difficulty should be tiny, you'll get blocks fast.
11:38:52 <greenlukaz[m]> <moneromooo "Dunno, but testnet difficulty sh"> I didn't get what you meant at first, but now I do. Thanks, I will try this.
12:44:19 <DeanGuss> dEBRUYNE: no I have not tried another drive.  It's a 2tb usb sata external drive... curiously I get no info when I do hdparm -I /dev/sdb
12:44:41 <DeanGuss> I will at least try moving the usb to a different port/controller
13:15:50 <mj-xmr> DeanGuss, I have bad experience with external drives like this one. Even the USB cable can be a culprit at times.
13:16:28 <mj-xmr> or for instance too little power given to the drive.
13:27:07 <DeanGuss> interesting theory mj-xmr, I will look into one of those external power cables as well.  Thank you
13:31:59 <mj-xmr> DeanGuss, the 2nd case (re: power) is rather the PC's problem. I had this on some low powered fanless PCs.
13:32:09 <mj-xmr> But all of this might be a false clue.
13:32:24 <mj-xmr> Justr sth to try out.
13:33:32 <DeanGuss> That's a pretty good clue, this is an old, fanless, low power 'nettop' type pc
13:34:40 <mj-xmr> oops
13:42:05 <TrasherDK[m]> I slapped a 220G SSD in an old Compaq laptop, x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100  @ 2.10GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux, running monerod, a few wallet-rpc, Apache, MySQL and some other stuff without breaking a sweat. That SSD save this old piece of junk from the scrap yard.
17:28:42 <selsta> .merge+ 7762
17:28:42 <xmr-pr> Added
19:23:12 <mj-xmr> selsta: I guess my question in 7768 is somewhat hard. Do you think it makes sense to support (via CI) Ubuntu 16.04 for the next 3 months?
19:23:50 <mj-xmr> It can be removed at any time of course.
19:23:59 <mj-xmr> I mean our support.
19:32:50 <mj-xmr> I could also imagine compiling Boost from source. I have scripts for that.
19:45:06 <selsta> i would use ubuntu 20.04 + boost compiled from source
19:47:59 <mj-xmr> For boost, ok.
19:48:51 <mj-xmr> selsta: 18.04 still needs to be checked, regardless of boost, to avoid problems like with 7762/. It would detect it
19:55:17 <mj-xmr> But in that case 18.04 doesn't need the "matrix", just plain old default libboost-all-dev
19:57:41 <mj-xmr> Since these are 2 separate cases, I'll create another 2 PRs and close 7768. One will be 18.04 and the other one will be 20.04 ("latest") with 2 extreme boost versions.
19:57:50 <mj-xmr> Does it sound OK?
