/etc/network/interfaces to connect Ubuntu to a wireless network
If you want to connect to a wireless network on Ubuntu or any other Debian based Linux distro, one of the many ways to do it is by editing the /etc/network/interfaces
file with your Wi-Fi network info.
This is a command line only method, so it’s very useful if you don’t have a GUI installed on the system but need to get on to the WiFi network.
How to blacklist a module on Ubuntu/Debian Linux
There may be a time when you need to disable some kernel modules from being loaded during your Linux system’s boot time. In this guide, we will discuss a few different ways to blacklist a module, including its dependencies, on Ubuntu and any other Debian based distros. This will effectively permanently disable a module from loading during the boot time.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to blacklist a kernel module on Ubuntu/Debian-based Linux distros
How to install NVIDIA CUDA on Debian 10 (buster)

In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to install CUDA
- How to confirm CUDA installation
How to change hostname on Debian Linux
The hostname of a Linux system is important because it’s used to identify the device on a network. The hostname is also shown in other prominent places, such as in the terminal prompt. This gives you a constant reminder of which system you’re working with. It’s a real life saver when you’re managing multiple systems through SSH and those command line terminals start to blend together in your mind.
Of course, IP addresses are used when devices need to communicate with each other, but those can change frequently. Hostnames give us a way to know which device we’re interacting with either on the network or physically, without remembering a bunch of numbers that are subject to change. Thus, it’s important that your system bears a hostname which helps you to identify it quickly. For example, “backup-server” is much more informative than “server2.” If you can’t easily identify a system’s purpose from the hostname, it’s time to change it.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to change the hostname on Debian Linux. Changing the hostname can be done either by command line or GUI, and we’ll show you the steps for both methods below.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to change the Debian hostname from command line
- How to change the Debian hostname from GNOME GUI
How to use apt search Linux command
One of the most attractive features of running a Linux system is the instant access to thousands of packages that are able to be installed from the Linux distro’s package manager.
Installing packages is really easy. That is, as long as you know the name of what you’re trying to install. If you don’t, then you can always search for installable packages. On distros that use the apt package manager, like Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint just to name a few, this is done with the apt search
command.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the apt search
command with multiple examples. You’ll quickly learn to master the task of finding packages to install.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to search for packages with apt
How to use bridged networking with libvirt and KVM
Libvirt is a free and open source software which provides API to manage various aspects of virtual machines. On Linux it is commonly used in conjunction with KVM and Qemu. Among other things, libvirt is used to create and manage virtual networks. The default network created when libvirt is used is called “default” and uses NAT (Network Address Translation) and packet forwarding to connect the emulated systems with the “outside” world (both the host system and the internet). In this tutorial we will see how to create a different setup using Bridged networking.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to create a virtual bridge
- How to add a physical interface to a bridge
- How to make the bridge configuration persistent
- How to modify firmware rules to allow traffic to the virtual machine
- How to create a new virtual network and use it in a virtual machine
