[01:35] <monkwitdafunk> hello #ubuntu-server
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <monkwitdafunk> hello seth arnold
[01:37] <monkwitdafunk> therefore im going to need a wireless ISP
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <monkwitdafunk> i tried checking using man..... and i couldnt find anything
[01:39] <sarnold> lynx? w3m? links? elinks?
[01:40] <sarnold> I can't recall which ones we ship any more..
[01:52] <monkwitdafunk> i tried to manpages the text based browser and i came to the conclusion that there is no browser
[01:53] <monkwitdafunk> i did however have fun with vimtutor :-D
[01:53] <monkwitdafunk> anyways, my usb and internal optical drive is broken
[01:54] <sarnold> oh man. you've reminded me of my fun time with vitutor back in the day
[02:12] <monkwitdafunk> i did however forget to compare ---> sudo visudo to other distributions
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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?
[02:15] <monkwitdafunk> install xorg and thunderbird
[02:15] <monkwitdafunk> i guess i can use mutt
[02:16] <monkwitdafunk> i had a hard time using mutt but i will get used to it if i spent a year or two using mutt
[02:17] <sarnold> aha, okay
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <monkwitdafunk> but all i have is server
[02:21] <monkwitdafunk> i feel a little paranoid about windows popping up in ubuntu desktop asking for passwd
[02:23] <sarnold> yeah, I don't like that much either
[02:36] <monkwitdafunk> so does that mean the solution to be freed from that particular paranoia is to use ubuntu server?
[02:39] <sarnold> you can't be prompted with a gui popup if there's no gui :) hehe
[09:14] <lordievader> Good morning
