| monkwitdafunk | hello #ubuntu-server | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | that's one funky monk | 01:36 |
| monkwitdafunk | i was ready to start using ubuntu-server until i realizedi need a web browser to get the internet froma captive portal | 01:36 |
| monkwitdafunk | hello seth arnold | 01:37 |
| monkwitdafunk | therefore im going to need a wireless ISP | 01:37 |
| monkwitdafunk | kinda sucks how all i have is a captive portal and just a ubuntu server DVD | 01:38 |
| v0lksman | is lynx still a thing? | 01:38 |
| monkwitdafunk | is lynx included in ubuntu server? i thoughtit wasnt | 01:38 |
| monkwitdafunk | i tried checking using man..... and i couldnt find anything | 01:39 |
| sarnold | lynx? w3m? links? elinks? | 01:39 |
| sarnold | I can't recall which ones we ship any more.. | 01:40 |
| monkwitdafunk | i tried to manpages the text based browser and i came to the conclusion that there is no browser | 01:52 |
| monkwitdafunk | i did however have fun with vimtutor :-D | 01:53 |
| monkwitdafunk | anyways, my usb and internal optical drive is broken | 01:53 |
| sarnold | oh man. you've reminded me of my fun time with vitutor back in the day | 01:54 |

| monkwitdafunk | i did however forget to compare ---> sudo visudo to other distributions | 02:12 |
| monkwitdafunk | i just want to use ubuntu server, with desktop applications without the desktop enviroment | 02:13 |
| monkwitdafunk | and im hoping the HP stream pro 11 G5 is compatable with 20.04 | 02:13 |
| monkwitdafunk | i know the G4 education edition was compatablewith the HP G4 | 02:14 |
| sarnold | "with desktop applications without the desktop enviroment" -- what do you mean here? | 02:14 |
| monkwitdafunk | install xorg and thunderbird | 02:15 |
| monkwitdafunk | i guess i can use mutt | 02:15 |
| monkwitdafunk | i had a hard time using mutt but i will get used to it if i spent a year or two using mutt | 02:16 |
| sarnold | aha, okay | 02:17 |
| sarnold | you can do that -- I did something similar to get my laptop working, I wanted zfs, and at the time it required a more complicated installation method | 02:18 |
| monkwitdafunk | i forget which filesystem sees multiple drives as one drive | 02:18 |
| sarnold | but it's not nearly as easy as picking one of the flavours that is close enough to your tastes and installing that | 02:18 |
| monkwitdafunk | oh wow. maybe ubuntu studio | 02:18 |
| monkwitdafunk | but all i have is server | 02:19 |
| monkwitdafunk | i feel a little paranoid about windows popping up in ubuntu desktop asking for passwd | 02:21 |
| sarnold | yeah, I don't like that much either | 02:23 |
| monkwitdafunk | so does that mean the solution to be freed from that particular paranoia is to use ubuntu server? | 02:36 |
| sarnold | you can't be prompted with a gui popup if there's no gui :) hehe | 02:39 |
