 hexa | not even a maintainer 😄 smh | 05:38:14 |
 @emma:rory.gay | hm, does discussion go on the PR or here? lol | 05:38:57 |
| hexa | if you want to discuss the implementation that goes on the PR | 05:39:24 |
| @emma:rory.gay | then i suppose it goes here: i feel like using NM by default in the graphical installer makes a lot of sense, the entire networking confused the hell out of me when i started using nixos lol | 05:40:26 |
| hexa | this is not about the installer, but about the default config rendered for the installation | 05:40:57 |
| @emma:rory.gay | yeah im aware | 05:41:08 |
| hexa | * this is not about the graphical installer, but about the default config rendered for the installation | 05:41:10 |
| @emma:rory.gay | its just the generator template thats being changed, thats an implementation detail :) | 05:41:29 |
| @emma:rory.gay | anyways, its why i use static IPs on LAN at home now for my desktop (though convenient anyways) | 05:41:52 |
 ElvishJerricco | though, also, maybe we should do NM by default in the ISO too :P | 05:42:32 |
| hexa | stable slaac addressing means I don't care about the IPv4 address anymore | 05:42:40 |
| ElvishJerricco | might be good to lump that in with this change as well? | 05:42:41 |
| hexa | sgtm | 05:42:48 |
| @emma:rory.gay | if we're doing that, sounds like it might be useful to show both configurations | 05:43:01 |
| hexa | vcunat will hate you for the size increase though 😛 | 05:43:01 |
| ElvishJerricco | it's already default for the graphical ISO | 05:43:17 |
| ElvishJerricco | just need to make it common to minimal and graphical | 05:43:24 |
| ElvishJerricco | So probably move it from installation-cd-graphical-base.nix to installation-cd-base.nix | 05:43:41 |
| hexa | what do we have for minimal anyway? | 05:43:42 |
| ElvishJerricco | pretty sure just networking.useDHCP and for wireless it has "do it yourself, coward" | 05:44:20 |
| hexa | we had a wpa_supplicant command line in the manual at some point | 05:44:45 |
| ElvishJerricco | yea, that's what I mean :P | 05:44:53 |
| ElvishJerricco | So I guess we'll want to change the manual too | 05:45:03 |
| hexa | we ship wpa_supplicant and suggest using wpa_cli 😄 | 05:45:28 |
| hexa | https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation-manual-networking | 05:45:32 |
| ElvishJerricco | yea we should just change the manual to tell people how to set up wireless with nmcli | 05:45:45 |
| hexa | I don't fancy changing the manual if I'm honest 🙂 | 05:45:46 |
| ElvishJerricco | well, if we don't change the manual then we can't change the ISO | 05:46:01 |
| hexa | or just guide them through nmtui 😄 | 05:46:04 |
| ElvishJerricco | which, faiir | 05:46:04 |
