If you can't log-in without running ypbind after each reboot (and have tried fixes listed in previous versions) then comment out the line $YPBINDARGS=-no-dbus in /etc/default/nis. This only seems to be an issue with upgraded machines and not clean installs. Apparently, this option is no longer used and causes ypbind to silently fail on boot.

Follow instructions for the last few kubuntu version, with the additional:

  • Problems seen in 19.xx seem to have been solved, so this is now a new safe version that works (test on multiple machines) - 20.10 also seems to work
  • Ubuntu requires an EFI partition - either select this partition (1GB should be more than enough) or create a FAT32 partition at /boot/efi
  • The network connections manager is now good enough to set up network - setup using the icon in the taskbar
  • Some packages don't appear on muon (e.g. nis), just use apt
  • If it doesn't ask about the nis domain name, create a file at /etc/domainname and add applied_optics
