@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)Because it blocks an entire trunk-combined eval 😕 18:57:18
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI'm not sure the use case is defined enough to have a good justification for providing value18:57:24
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyfor minimal it makes sense to support because the only reason it doesn't work is essentially matters of "hygiene"18:57:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyso it raises the quality of the ISO in general to support it18:57:52
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyfor graphical it is its own set of trade-offs and I haven't seen an actual argument for why you would want this specific property18:58:12
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccolet's just shelve the idea of offline graphical installs for now18:58:13
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)* Because it blocks an entire trunk-combined eval 😕 Blocks security updates, requires another costly eval, and another half a day to advance or so18:58:16
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccowe've got enough going on at the moment with the new networkmanager goal, and making systemd networking and initrd the default in the near future18:58:34
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily (given that ~every installation needs some kind of customization to have any reason to not just be dding the ISO, we don't support a system that can't receive updates, etc.) 18:58:43
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when) I think if we remove enableDefaultPlugins and go with a release note then we're already closer to where you want to be. 18:58:44
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoYea it sounds like you all think removing the default plugins is a good move regardless of the minimal ISO's offline-installability18:59:14
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoand it'll keep the work I did for that alive18:59:22
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)oh no 😄 enableDefaultPlugins is a new addition in 25.0519:00:45
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)it was added to guard around the plugins being default enabled19:01:15
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)so I guess we're now taking the idea a step further19:01:24
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI got some WD-40 for the slope19:03:54
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)Redacted or Malformed Event19:04:12
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)Redacted or Malformed Event19:04:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)third time's the charm19:05:06

@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)profile still exists, but when I want to access it I get19:18:59

19:19:00
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)which is as good an error message as we could have asked for19:19:12
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)because it points cleanly to the relevant plugin19:19:21
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa (clat on linux when)that is nm-connection-editor fwiw19:19:31
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythat seems adequate19:19:37
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe frontline Discourse/Matrix support personnel will appreciate our jobs programme19:20:26
