Chapter 2. Get started with your computer

Learn the basics of Ubuntu and start working with it right away. For more information about Ubuntu, see the

Ubuntu documentation site at:

Ubuntu server does not come with a desktop GUI installed by default so the unit can run headless and be

managed using ssh. Configuration is expected to be done from the command line.

By default the system is configured with a default account "ubuntu" with password "ubuntu". The first time

you login you will be prompted to update the password to something unique.

You will likely want to create your own user account using the a a d d d d u u s s e e r r < < u u s s e e r r n n a a m m e e > > command and follow

the instructions. If you want to give that account supervisor privileges, use the u u s s e e r r m m o o d d - - a a G G s s u u d d o o

< < u u s s e e r r n n a a m m e e > > command.

Your computer helps you connect to the world through a wired or wireless network.

To identify the interfaces available, use the i i p p a a command. For example:

Connect your computer to a local network through the Ethernet connector on your computer with an

Ethernet cable.

By default the installer will configure the interface to use DHCP. If you want to configure a static IP, create a

netplan configuration in the file /etc/netplan/99_config.yaml. The example below assumes you are

configuring your first Ethernet interface identified as enp2s0. Change the addresses, gateway4, and

nameservers values to meet the requirements of your network.
