| popeycore | ogra: got any suggestions for getting an ubuntu core machine inline when it's behind a captive portal? | 10:25 |
|---|---|---|
| popeycore | I have installed the links snap and tried to visit the portal but it 404's (dunno if it's a js issue or something else odd) | 10:25 |
| popeycore | tried doing mad things like installing chromium mir kiosk, but that looks broken (interface names have changed it seems). | 10:26 |
| ogra | popeycore, i think you need the right combo from edge and beta for chromum and mir-kiosk atm | 10:28 |
| popeycore | yeah, i tried | 10:28 |
| popeycore | but the guide thats on discourse doesn't work. interface names changed etc | 10:28 |
| ogra | though i need to talk to the guys, they cant just remove existing interfaces ... (unless there are zero users which i doubt) | 10:28 |
| popeycore | yeah, i filed a card on my to-do to pounce on them next week :D | 10:29 |
| ogra | yeah they are moving away from the content sharing towards a real wayland interface | 10:29 |
| ogra | but i guess they still need to keep the old oe | 10:29 |
| ogra | *one | 10:29 |
| ogra | chromium-mir-kiosk is the only idea i'd have for your prob though | 10:30 |
| popeycore | ok, good. we tried some other ludicrous options :) | 10:30 |
| ogra | 8you can actually turn off kiosk mode in it and just use it as browser via a snap set option) | 10:30 |
| ogra | you could perhaps install classic any try it through that ... not sure if you could get an xserver to start in there though | 10:32 |
| popeycore | huh, didnt think of that | 10:32 |
| ogra | well, no idea if it works ... its a chroot after all | 10:34 |
| ogra | but probably worth a try | 10:34 |
| ogra | geez ... the community theme snap is actually called communitheme ?!? | 11:01 |
| ogra | (took me quite some searching to find there is on y in it ...) | 11:01 |

| popey | @ogra: success! | 11:12 |
| popey | Had to install Ubuntu desktop in classic. Ran Firefox as root. Managed to get through the portal. Thanks | 11:13 |
| ogra | hah | 11:16 |
| ogra | see, no effort at all | 11:16 |
| ogra | :P | 11:16 |
