Web-UI not displaying properly
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I am trying to run MineOS on my proxmox server at home, to host worlds on my local network.
First I installed MineOS the iso based on Turnkey, and saw this on the webui. I guessed that the special iso was missing something, so I spun up an Ubuntu LXC container (something that Proxmox can do), and installed the apt-get version of MineOS with all the various depencies. Also saw the same web-ui interface when done.
Next I made another VM running a gui-less Debian, and had the same result when loading the web interface.
Then I tried a VM with Ubuntu Server, and then another with ubuntu Desktop, all of which showed the web-ui in this same state.
At each of these steps, I also tried to login to the web page as Root, or as the non-root MC user that I made each time.
also trying my default browser Brave, as well as checking it with normal/private modes in Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, Edge, and Firefox, all of which showing the Exact same thing.
Any input on what's going on here? given how it's displaying things, I dont think it's the browser, since I've used 6, and It's not the host servers' OS, as I've tried five of those, the only constant between most of those was that they're running the same apt-get install, installed according to the Wiki on the website.
Some of the buttons on the screen work, when clicking on them. Some do not. Having never used this before, I can't tell what most of these do, even with the placeholder text, and most buttons have no text at all.
After continued searching and trying, I finally manged to run the "reset_webui.sh" script (or similar name, I don't recall exactly without being connected right now). I tried running it early on, but had lots of permissions issues, despite it being executable, and having permissions given, AND running as root.
Inexplicably, I finally got it to execute on the Ubuntu Server VM, that was running the software, and it ran and did it's thing. I went back to the web-ui page, reloaded and re-logged in as MC user, and voila, the web page was displaying everything correctly.
So, give that reset script a try, if you happen to find this thread and are having similar issues. Don't forget to make it executable, and run as root user (Actually log in as root, and not just run with "sudo". Seems to make a tiny technical difference). And throw some reboots in there for good measure, that got it running for me.
