| emily | I think the real question is whether we want to block the installer change on this not pulling WebKitGTK into new headless installs, etc. | 17:59:39 |
| emily | which is the default plugins nonsense | 17:59:53 |

# Wireless Networks {#sec-wireless}
For a desktop installation using NetworkManager (e.g., GNOME), you just
have to make sure the user is in the `networkmanager` group and you can
skip the rest of this section on wireless networks.

| hexa | like this? | 18:01:10 |
| emily | at least that's only newfangled polkit stuff, it's probably only been obsolete for like a decade | 18:04:27 |
| hexa | I'm not sure where that is coming from tbh | 18:06:51 |
| hexa | I see no rule that would look at the login session type | 18:07:26 |

| hexa | I should get something for dinner | 18:37:07 |
 ElvishJerricco | So I guess the idea of the minimal ISO being able to do an offline install is going out the window? :P | 18:38:27 |
| hexa | wdym? | 18:38:39 |
| ElvishJerricco | (just got caught up reading todays stuff in this room) | 18:38:42 |
| ElvishJerricco | well we're making it so the generated configuration.nix enables networkmanager, and you've made it so the ISO doesn't have all the default networkmanager stuff by disabling the plugins | 18:39:22 |
| ElvishJerricco | which isn't that big a deal; I'm kinda shifting my perspective to the graphical ISO being the one we want to be able to do offline installs | 18:40:00 |
| hexa | so do you think we should disable recommended plugins by default, because nobodies needs all these vpn plugins? | 18:39:59 |
| ElvishJerricco | (for gnome and plasma) | 18:40:06 |
| hexa | I think that's the best way out of this | 18:40:09 |
| hexa | because loading the default config with enableRecommendedPlugins = false sounds bad | 18:40:24 |
| ElvishJerricco | well it's hard to imagine how we would indicate to existing users of those plugins that they need to enable them explicitly now | 18:40:50 |
| ElvishJerricco | IMO it's fine to just disable them in the minimal ISO. I'd put it in the minimal config though, not the base | 18:41:16 |
