[10:25] <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)
[10:26] <popeycore> tried doing mad things like installing chromium mir kiosk, but that looks broken (interface names have changed it seems).
[10:28] <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)
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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)
[10:32] <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
[10:34] <ogra> well, no idea if it works ... its a chroot after all
[10:34] <ogra> but probably worth a try
[11:01] <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 ...)

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