| mathgrad | Hi How do I switch from the generic kernel to the virtual kernel for use of 20.04 in a VM | 10:37 |
|---|---|---|
| RoyK | what's in the "virtual kernel"? | 10:46 |
| mathgrad | figured it was a lightweight kernel | 10:51 |
| mathgrad | for virtual machines | 10:51 |
| rbasak | The virtual kernel doesn't exist any more. linux-image-virtual points to linux-image-...-generic | 11:42 |
| rbasak | Kernels are modular though - you won't end up with a bunch of hardware-specific modules loaded that you don't need. | 11:43 |
| RoyK | mathgrad: the generic one works well. | 12:35 |
| RoyK | rbasak: that's configurable in initramfs if you really bother to trim the size of that down. otherwise, well, it's just a small lump eating some space on the root drive | 12:36 |
| RoyK | linux only loads loadable drivers anyway, that is, to existing hardware | 12:37 |
| technoob | Hey guys | 14:28 |
| technoob | I have a question | 14:28 |
| technoob | What are my option to connect to my home server a nuc running ubuntu server without lan cable and also i dont have a wifi router | 14:29 |
| RoyK | nuc? | 14:31 |
| technoob | What are my option to connect to my home server a nuc running ubuntu server without lan cable and also i dont have a wifi router | 14:32 |
| RoyK | what is nuc? | 14:37 |
| technoob | Its just a fancy word for a headless pc | 14:38 |
| RoyK | I just wonder how you're going to connect to that without a network connection | 14:39 |
| technoob | Yep was just asking if it was at all possible | 14:40 |
| technoob | Haha | 14:40 |
| technoob | Maybe it isnt | 14:40 |
| technoob | Would me buying a mini wifi usb solve this? | 14:41 |
| RoyK | Sounds secure enough, though. I remember a teacher told me back in the ninetees that a server, without a network connection, shut off and sunk in the Mariana Trench in a few tons of concrete was perfectly safe | 14:41 |
| technoob | Like it makes it a wifi server | 14:41 |
| technoob | Lol im not talking about safe | 14:42 |
| technoob | I just want ways to access it | 14:42 |
| RoyK | then you need a network connection of sorts | 14:42 |
| technoob | Because currently didnt bring my lan cable or my router | 14:42 |
| RoyK | and you'll probably need console access to it to configure the network | 14:43 |
| RoyK | wifi or ethernet doesn't matter | 14:43 |
| RoyK | technoob: do you have a console (as in a monitor and keyboard) to that thing? | 14:46 |
| smoser | could someone take a look at https://code.launchpad.net/~slingamn/ssh-import-id/+git/ssh-import-id/+merge/389139 | 16:59 |
| rbasak | smoser: sure I'll take a look tomorrow. Are you happy with it? Have you reviewed/tested/etc? | 17:11 |
| smoser | i just think that at this point canonical-server is ultimately responsible, so.. that team should "own" it. | 17:19 |
| angry_route | Hi! I have an old Debian distro running as my router, and I´m thinking about switching to the newest Ubuntu LTS, afaik the only problem that I´ll face is the pppoeconf part, probably because of the netplan implementation. Does anyone has any experience with it? Thanks! | 18:40 |
| mason | angry_route: I briefly had 20.04 as my firewall in a pinch when my existing firewall toasted itself a while back. Worked fine with the same pppoe config I used with Raspbian previously. | 18:45 |
| mason | It was before 20.04 was actually released, but I can't imagine pppoe destabilizing since then. | 18:46 |
| angry_route | As long as I manually install the ppoeconf package after the server install right? | 18:46 |
| mason | angry_route: I probably wasn't running netplan, but I don't remember for sure. Worst case, you can use all the options you have now. | 18:46 |
| sarnold | angry_route: hmm, from the 18.04 timeframe https://askubuntu.com/questions/1164093 -- and from 17.10 timeframe, another thing with more details https://askubuntu.com/a/1053685/33812 | 18:47 |
| mason | Easier still. I'll pipe down now. | 18:47 |
| angry_route | Thanks for all the help! I think I can give it a try now :) | 18:48 |
| mason | angry_route: Have fun! | 18:49 |
