    Debian 12 VM install with two nics and two ips

    Two IP's on the same subnet is usually a recipe for trouble. It does odd things you might not expect. What kind of software is this? Some kind of proxy? If so, it is likely expecting two different subnets so that packets can be sent between them. ETA: Depending on why you are doing this there...

    Temporary failure in name resolution - Help Needed

    So it seems to be specific to a particular Ethernet driver used by RPi4 boards. Which explains why I have never seen this problem, as my OpenWRT is running on a Celeron J1900 with Intel Ethernet. Nice find! ETA: On the other hand, the #1 cause of "temporary failure in name resolution" is a bad...

    Proxmox VE on Intel Pentium G2020, 4GB?

    Why is managing Ubuntu remotely "troublesome" to you? Perhaps someone can help you fix that. Do you have an SSH server installed? Managing remotely by command line is much simpler than using RDP or whatever remote desktop things.

    Temporary failure in name resolution - Help Needed

    Just FYI, I have a bunch of Debian machines, both VM's and hardware, behind an OpenWRT 24.01 router, all using the router's DNS. It works fine. Whatever's wrong isn't an inherent thing in Debian or OpenWRT. I don't currently have wireguard enabled though, so that's one difference. Did you...

    Why is there no logrotate for messages and daemon.log ?

    I think if you upgraded from an earlier version that did use syslog you might end up with leftover log files in /var/log as well.

    Can't connect to the PROMOX web UI through wifi

    If your use-case is to use VM's locally on your machine you might be better off with a desktop product like VirtualBox.

    Can't connect to the PROMOX web UI through wifi

    PVE does not install wifi support tools by default because wifi is not really suitable for this purpose. With most access points you cannot bridge multiple VM's to one wifi interface. It is not "hard", it is not possible. So you need to set up IP routing with NAT. See here for some options. If...

    Proxmox 9 Kernel and Ubuntu 25.04?

    User space will likely be based on Debian 13 but they use Ubuntu kernels because Debian doesn't integrate ZFS.

    Podman inside unprivileged Alpine container fails to start

    If you are going to do a thing that isn't recommended by the people who made the software, you don't get to yell about the lack of documentation of how to do that thing. You also need to look into the actual purpose of the "nesting" feature, which isn't for what you think it is for.

    Proxmox GUI in Chrome - connection refused when using hostname, not IP. works fine in firefox

    Most likely Chrome is not using the DNS you expect. Is Settings>Privacy>Use Secure DNS enabled? If so, try turning it off. You might also want to look at the DNS page in chrome://net-internals and see how it is doing DNS resolution.

    Updated/upgraded Just Now

    This is the main problem I think: cannot copy extracted data for './lib/modules/6.8.12-10-pve/kernel/net/tipc/tipc.ko' to '/lib/modules/6.8.12-10-pve/kernel/net/tipc/tipc.ko.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device) You need to clean up something to make space. This will also lead...

    [SOLVED] Windows VM high unreported RAM usage

    Passing a PCI device into a VM requires that all VM memory be preallocated on startup because such devices can do DMA to or from any memory address.

    making mp's migratable (virtiofs on pve managed paths only)

    Of course. If you use Kerberos+NFSv4 then you have mitigated that particular class of attack. You seemed to be saying that such attacks can't work even with traditional non-Kerberized NFS if other unspecified things are in place. You very much cannot assume that. In such a case it is "hacking...

    making mp's migratable (virtiofs on pve managed paths only)

    I was responding to the specific statement you made: That is simply not true for "traditional" NFS without Kerberos. Getting root on the server is a "hacking 101" exercise, not something that is "HIGHLY speculative". It is a well-known attack! So I agree with you that if you want to use...

    making mp's migratable (virtiofs on pve managed paths only)

    Not really. Traditional NFS trusts the client to provide correct information about things like the user ID (UID). One obvious attack @Johannes S slides point out is someone with root on their device creating an account with the same UID as another user. Then mount the share and su to the other...
