Hello all, I’m having some network problems on my server (Ubuntu Lunar Lobster Server Edition), namely my plex port is no longer reachable from outside the network despite it being port forwarded and allowed through ufw. A few days ago I used airvpn’s eddie gui program, and it completely wrecked my network. Caused it to be completely cut off from internet when disabled, even with the killswitch function off.

I rolled back to a snapshot I’d made earlier using snapper and grub-btrfs and thought the problem was solved. But while I regained the ability to access the internet, it still seems to have messed something up. I can’t seem to get my kernel upgraded. I have 6.2.0-25 installed, but I can only boot into 6.2.0-24, even when I apt removed the older kernel. I believe this is what is causing my networking issues, though even if it’s not I’d need a solution so as to be able to keep my kernel updated.

I’m at a bit of a loss at this point and am wondering if I’ve dug myself in too deep with grub-btrfs. I’m contemplating getting a fresh image on there and sticking to manual use of snapper.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

  • I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The way grub-btrfs works is by changing the default root snapshot subvolume. I’m still not sure what I did wrong to get the rollback stuck to the particular kernel. But I’ll give what you’ve written here a try. Thanks again.
