        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello guys!</p>

<p>I recently had a problem with OVH, one of my disks had to be changed (they didn't ask if I wanted to perform a backup before).</p>

<p>After that, I tried to boot the hard disk instead of the rescue mode, from there I get another email citing another problem with the GRUB configuration. (screenshot below):</p>

<p><img src="http://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/c0/mst6vr330wyv.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Apparently I will have to mount all my disks again and fix this "GRUB problem" caused by OVH.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I didn't find anything consistent and reliable on the internet on how to do this without losing the files on the server.</p>

<p>Any help will be welcome.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Ref: my discovery post about wireguard on Ubuntu no longer needing a 3rd party PPA for installation : <a href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/35886/#Comment_35886" rel="nofollow">https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/35886/#Comment_35886</a></p>

<blockquote><div>
  <p>Wireguard is now in bionic-updates.<br />
  PPA+dkms no longer required for bionic users.</p>
</div></blockquote>

<p>Apparently, there was an official announce by Jason Donenfeld (author) on the mailing list on the next  day : Aug 3, 2020.</p>

<p>You can safely remove the PPA config from /etc/apt/sources.d/ if you were previously on it on the supported OSes.<br />

<blockquote><div>
  <p>Hi folks,</p>
  
  <p>At long last, Ubuntu now supports WireGuard on releases 20.04, 19.10,<br />
  18.04, and 16.04, which means we've got all currently supported LTS<br />
  releases covered. For that reason, we're in the process of sunsetting<br />
  the PPA that previously provided packages to some users. This email<br />
  details possible changes users might consider.</p>
  
  <p>The right way to install WireGuard on Ubuntu now consists of a single<br />
  command:</p>

<pre><code>$ sudo apt install wireguard
</code></pre>
  
  <p>This "wireguard" package will <em>automatically</em> pull in either one or two<br />
  packages with it:</p>
  
  <p>1) wireguard-tools: this will always be pulled in and provides wg(8)<br />
       and wg-quick(8).<br />
    2) wireguard-dkms: this will only be pulled in if your kernel doesn't<br />
       already come with WireGuard.</p>
  
  <p>As suggested by (2), most Ubuntu kernels now come with WireGuard out of<br />
  the box, even older releases, to which WireGuard has been backported.<br />
  This is great news and will result in much better reliability during<br />
  upgrades, as well as smoother compatibility with SecureBoot.</p>
  
  <p>--snipped--</p>
</div></blockquote>

<p>As a very good general recommendation for people new to wireguard ,<br />
USE <a href="https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install/</a>  (read the README first)</p>

<p>I have reviewed nyr's wireguard-install script and I am satisfied that it is well done.<br />
I compared it with a manually configured wireguard tunnel, and all the defaults seem sensible.<br />
Anything that saves you time should be welcomed.<br />
