I have a lot of experience with Linux, but not much with Ubuntu, however I have a project that needs Ubuntu in the cloud. I can't use the marketplace images because I need an application that requires a GUI to authenticate against a remote server before I upload it. I was able to create a vhd images and upload it to Azure, however I cannot access the serial console. It appears that Ubuntu does not have a serial console server by default. I googled the web, and used CoPilot ( which is sometimes useless ) it says to install a packages called sersial-console-serial. When I try to install this, it says that packages is not available ( however I can install other packages ).
How do I enable the serial console in desktop 23.10? [Solved]

Marvin, typo here with name of package
Is this of any help, perhaps with updated links?

Likewise to Brian in being out of my depth.
Good luck.

Dunno if this is any help, but for a serial console, one can use the kernel option: console=ttyS0, and systemd will automatically start a getty on it for you. Then just run:
Code:
systemctl enable [email protected]
systemctl start [email protected]Check on serial ports:
Code:
[root@min ~]# cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
serinfo:1.0 driver revision:
0: uart:16550A port:000003F8 irq:4 tx:0 rx:0
1: uart:unknown port:000002F8 irq:3
2: uart:unknown port:000003E8 irq:4
3: uart:unknown port:000002E8 irq:3Then, in my case, it was using AT commands on minicom (but not in the environment you describe). YMMV.
I was able to install this, but I never could get the service to enable or start.
This worked.
