Ubuntu Help
Hi Guys, I'm a proper novice when it comes to ubuntu... especially from the terminal... i've setup a hyper-v VM running 18.10 server... and i'm just trying to get a static IP address assigned to the device, but currently stuck at the below: I can't seem to get out of this window... also i'm still unable to assign my static IP... i've rebooted tried netplan also to change the current config... and there isn't one there? Any help appreciated!
The window is VIM. A popular joke in the Linux community describes the challenge of exiting VIM, saying it’s tough because you must press ESC to switch to command mode, then type :q! to quit without saving. Perhaps in the future they’ll add export EDITOR=/bin/nano to your .bashrc or use nano -w 'filename' for a simpler approach. You might reinstall upstart, which would let you use /etc/network/interfaces again; alternatively, install NetworkManager for a user-friendly terminal interface (nmtui). You could also experiment with netplan, though I haven’t used it and don’t know how to set it up.
Nano is a helpful editor, though Vim offers more advanced options. You should familiarize yourself with the basics via https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial...heetvi.php. Vim and Elvis are essentially similar.
Hey team, just restarted it and got the command correct for netplan again!
