hermes_Hey folks, i've got a question which i posted on ask ubuntu. Anyone over here that has any idea's on how to change account types in ubuntu-mate on a headless server?14:18
hermes_http://askubuntu.com/questions/882919/how-to-set-ubuntu-mate-account-types14:18
splentyHello Everyone14:21
alkisghermes_: the problem is that you dont login properly and your session isn't considered 'active' by policykit. Have you tried X2go instead of using a custom tightvncserver login?14:47
alkisgBtw, to see which groups users-admin considers as 'administrators', fire up a live cd, add a user, and check his groups14:48
hermes_THANK YOU alksisg! Your right!15:04
hermes_Why has tightvnc not the policy for it? Is there a way to fix this?15:06
hermes_I prefer tightvnc, because i can use noVNC to run it inside a website. Tough x2go is wicked, i'm afraid that for the employees at my company x2go client will be a bit to complicated.15:08
alkisghermes_: it has binaries for windows too15:14
alkisghermes_: its difficult to properly implement a login, with all the display manager and systemd-logind changes15:15
alkisgI'm guessing that's why tightvnc hasn't implemented it prroperly15:15
alkisgYou can use 'loginctl' to debug it and report it to the tightvnc developers15:16
alkisg(if they actually send a login script and you didn't implement it yourself)15:17
hermes_So, could channging a display manager solve it also?15:17
hermes_loginctl - >    SESSION        UID USER             SEAT15:18
hermes_        42          0 root15:18
hermes_        c1        108 lightdm          seat015:18
hermes_        51       1000 arjan15:18
alkisgWhat does your script do? How did you implement vnc logins?15:19
alkisgDoes tightvnc ship a script for that?15:19
nick__hey15:20
alkisg$ loginctl session-status | grep State15:21
alkisg   State: active15:21
alkisghermes_: you need to see "active" there if you want policykit to give you all the proper rights15:21
alkisgEither that, or modify policykit files so that you give access to non-active sessions as well15:21
alkisghermes_: the file you're looking for would be  /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy15:22
alkisg(if you don't fix the logins, that is, and you want to modify policykit instead15:23
hermes_Thank you again! :) loginctl says state is active.15:24
alkisghermes_: are you logged in as "arjan" via vnc, and it says that state is active?15:25
alkisgYou're not looking at the lightdm session, are you?15:25
hermes_I think i do. How can i check?15:26
alkisgRun: loginctl session-status | nc termbin.com 999915:26
alkisgand paste the outupt here15:26
hermes_returns -> http://termbin.com/658g15:27
alkisghermes_: the session state is indeed active, but you're not running a couple of other things like mate-session15:32
alkisgIn any case, it's the login process that need to be debugged, not users-admin...15:34
* alkisg waves, later...15:34
hermes_Thanx for you help, learned a lot from it!15:36
