How to use ubuntu on a new SSD drive when it says my drive is full

I have emptied my computer and removed the hard drive. then put in a new SSD drive and installed ubuntu on it. At first it worked fine, then when I try to do anything it says that my SSD drive is FULL ! so I really do not know where to go from here. From what I gather It seems that I need to create a partition to fix my issue, but I am not at all sure or computer savvy, please help me

Apt update command took 213503982334601 days to complete (that’s what it says)

I ran sudo apt update command and to my surprise, it took 213503982334601 days to fetch 7945 kB from Internet. (all other output was normal)
The actual wall clock time, of course, wasn’t that big, not even comparable.
But I’d like to find what causes this, if possible. Anyone knows if this is a known issue?

How to deal with DM that railroads you, and then says you skipped things?

Mid-campaign we approached a building, and then the DM railroaded us into a certain side room, says that we barged in, and the guards in the room shouted to a different room for backup. The DM then said

…there are two other doors that no one checked and that could hold other henchmen…

I feel like we were forced into this position as we had no chance to look into , and is likely to carry on doing similar things unless someone speaks up.

Is there anything I can do/say to try to avoid this type of gameplay with this GM in future?

Why does Chrome’s HTTPS validation show the “!” icon for Mixed Content, but when I have Developers Console open, reload, it says fully secure

I have a secure (HTTPS) website which Chrome displays the “!” icon in the URL bar denoting that that I have Mixed Content. So I hit F12 (Developers Console), go under the Security tab, which says there’s mixed content, and to Reload the page.

After reloading the page, it says that the content is fully secure. I’ve tried different computers, incognito tabs, and clearing cache/cookies and this persists.

Regardless, every time I load a page without Developers Console open, it will say it’s Mixed Content. As soon as I open Developers Console and browse around the site, Chrome will say it’s fully secure.

This only happens in Chrome (not Edge).

Example of Chrome’s Dev Console below:

Ubuntu 18.04 says `Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device` when it’s booting after upgrading from 16.04

I just upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and after reboot it shows 

Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device /: clean, 293537/3932160 files, 4067550/15719936 blocks cryptsetup (md5_crypt): set up successfully

then it doesn’t go to log in page.

Even though it hangs here, I can ssh in the computer and I can access folders and files. (one problem is terminal doesn’t have the ability of interpolation and showing history command though)

My quick search on this error is telling this problem is related to swap memory. Let me share some of the command outputs here and some approaches I already tried and not worked.

$   sudo blkid | grep swap /dev/mapper/sdb8_crypt: UUID="19a5cc43-2391-461e-9d36-ecb21d23cbe1" TYPE="swap" /dev/mapper/sda8_crypt: UUID="a68d5301-6f0c-4069-be2b-b43d42e4697c" TYPE="swap"

First row was a row I had first and I commented out it then added second, third and fourth, and tried them respectively but non of them worked well with $ sudo update-initramfs -u

I saw tried the following solutions but none of them worked. Swap: From partition to file, now get "no matching swap device is available" threads I could find is similar to this)

Ncmpcpp says it is playing, but does not play anything

I’m using Ubuntu 16.04. I just installed mpd and ncmpcpp. Whenever I play any audio file, ncmpcpp detects the file and says it is playing, but no actual audio is playing. I followed this tutorial on installing and configuring both mpc and ncmpcpp. This is my mpd configuration:
