[10:37] <mathgrad> Hi How do I switch from the generic kernel to the virtual kernel for use of 20.04 in a VM
[10:46] <RoyK> what's in the "virtual kernel"?
[10:51] <mathgrad> figured it was a lightweight kernel
[10:51] <mathgrad> for virtual machines
[11:42] <rbasak> The virtual kernel doesn't exist any more. linux-image-virtual points to linux-image-...-generic
[11:43] <rbasak> Kernels are modular though - you won't end up with a bunch of hardware-specific modules loaded that you don't need.
[12:35] <RoyK> mathgrad: the generic one works well.
[12:36] <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
[12:37] <RoyK> linux only loads loadable drivers anyway, that is, to existing hardware
[14:28] <technoob> Hey guys
[14:28] <technoob> I have a question
[14:29] <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
[14:31] <RoyK> nuc?
[14:32] <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
[14:37] <RoyK> what is nuc?
[14:38] <technoob> Its just a fancy word for a headless pc
[14:39] <RoyK> I just wonder how you're going to connect to that without a network connection
[14:40] <technoob> Yep was just asking if it was at all possible
[14:40] <technoob> Haha
[14:40] <technoob> Maybe it isnt
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <RoyK> and you'll probably need console access to it to configure the network
[14:43] <RoyK> wifi or ethernet doesn't matter
[14:46] <RoyK> technoob: do you have a console (as in a monitor and keyboard) to that thing?
[16:59] <smoser> could someone take a look at https://code.launchpad.net/~slingamn/ssh-import-id/+git/ssh-import-id/+merge/389139
[17:11] <rbasak> smoser: sure I'll take a look tomorrow. Are you happy with it? Have you reviewed/tested/etc?
[17:19] <smoser> i just think that at this point canonical-server is ultimately responsible, so.. that team should "own" it.
[18:40] <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!
[18:45] <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.
[18:46] <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.
[18:47] <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.
[18:48] <angry_route> Thanks for all the help! I think I can give it a try now :)
[18:49] <mason> angry_route: Have fun!
