Hi,
Ubuntu 14.04 will reach it's end-of-life in 1 month. Please upgrade if
possible. There's little to no point in trying to fix the issues above
when we are running very old software to begin with.
And in future emails, try to be more concise, and/or use pastebin like
services and/or attach logs instead of adding them inline like this.
