      @ajpri1998 We have a tracking issue set up for progress on that front.

        I've done initial testing on Suse SLES/OpenSuse 15.4, 15.5 and the similar opensuse MicroOS 5.5

        Installs, runs, reports correct information and stats so far. Basic commands work as expected.

                People with FreeBSD 13.2 or later as a guest are also now able to use Netlink to get their IP address changes reported instantly (rather than having to wait for as much as 1 minute).

                This is however not yet part of our CI jobs, as we rely on cross-rs, which for now only provides FreeBSD 12 cross-build support. Your choices to try it:

                • build it yourself
                • manually-prebuilt binary

                Don't forget to kldload netlink first, the Netlink support is not active by default!

                    Fixed the blog post. Don't know for Ubuntu, only tested on Debian on my side (even Debian 11). It seems you have a 401 HTTP code on your side. Gitlab issue or network issue?

                      @olivierlambert looks like network issue, but same task at same host\network etc updated all ubuntu 22 VMs.

                        Yeah, I would say Gitlab access issue, for whatever reason 🤷 Wait a bit a retry later. We'll probably mirror it to provide a more available solution that Gitlab.

                            Here I have a good HTTP answer (200):

                              @olivierlambert same, 200. Probably it again cloudflare issues.

                                  If installing on a machine that already had the old guest tools, is it necessary to uninstall them first (I would imagine so). How do you uninstall old guest tools?

                                    @chrisfonte new tools will remove the old one during install.

                                      Worked well for me with apt on virtualized Pop!_OS.

                                          I also encountered this same issue with this on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. Upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and re-enabling the repository resolved the issue.

                                            Well it still don't work for ubuntu20.
                                            Also i can't create Nexus proxy repo even for 22, with same error.
                                            Looks like restrictions for some auth type. Because the repo is not accessible by direct link, i can't really check anything. Any ideas?
