Hi Liam,
thanks for all your responses and tips:

I - in the meanwhile - installed the newest version of VirtualBox on a Mac and
into that as a guest OS the newest version of Ubuntu 18.04 TLS. I could do
apt install wmaker
but am not offerered window maker as an option on the login page!? :-(
They again changed everything. /etc/network/interfaces no longer works. They
have invented just another theme to configure network interfaces.
pico /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
"networkd" does not work for me
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp0s3:
dhcp4: no
dhcp6: no
addresses: [192.168.2.198/24]
gateway4: 192.168.2.1
nameservers:
addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
root@RetinaUbuntu18:~# netplan apply
Invalid YAML at //etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml line 4 column 1: did
not find expected key
I also tried
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
but wasn't able to start NetworkManager to setup a static network interface and
dns-severs.
sudo NetworkManager
No error message but it happens nothing. If I simply say
NetworkManager
in a terminal session I get "You must be root to run NetworkManager". I tried
to login as root into a gui session (root passwd is set and working) but not
even that works "Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again".
In the meanwhile I spent days on getting Ububntu 16 ... 18 to work under
VirtualBox (and possibly Window Maker) to test out the gui/back issue but am
failing badly. :-( I will probably try my luck with other Linux distros now ...
I am still looking for (or trying to assemble) a step by step tutorial to setup
a GNUstep system from scratch on current hardware and current Linux releases.
No luck at all. I am at zereo. This should be easier in 2018!?
Best wishes,
Andreas
