So, after much ado about bionic... too bleeding edge, spend more time kernel grinding and fixing this and that to even be worth messing with at this stage. Old school, too much coding can do more to make things unusable, rather than functional, and too many coders out there just coding to code... why a python wrapper when it previously operated without one...? oh, well...
So I downgraded to artful, what I am currently using in real life...
So, out of the box, dns is broken (I seemed to have remembered this from my 17.10 version - upgraded 17.04).
To get apt updates, stub in all of the hosts that are missing from dns
91.189.88.150 ports.ubuntu.com
91.189.95.83 ppa.launchpad.net
62.210.220.148 deb.ayufan.eu
in /etc/hosts.
run
apt update
then
apt upgrade
The fix for resolv.conf
remove /etc/resolv.conf
relink to proper path...
ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
systemctl restart systemd-resolved
So, X... I muddled with this, was going to try gnome (that would be my desktop choice), but mucking with bionic, somewhat soured that approach, even when I downgraded..
So, I retreated and regrouped...
Here is what I did:
apt-get -y install xubuntu-desktop
apt-get -y install xorgxrdp xrdp
apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-legacy
I am fond of xrdp rather than vnc, unless it is unavailable, works well...
On this version, you need to install xserver-xorg-legacy for the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. To enable logins from other than the console with X11
So, good, bad, lots of changes taking place in desktop area with ubuntu, having said that in comparison, I would probably attempt some non-graphic things with bionic on these boards, but a trivial desktop, takes much more time than I want to put into bionic at this time - maybe that will settle down, I will let coders code to their hearts content, no use in me trying to fix it.
Had a screen pic, I am sure others have done this. Can't post a pic.
On bionic, I will be awaiting the PERL wrapper around the python wrapper, both encased in a php wrapper... and the code some visual basic on top of that, to call the php wrapper..
