ElvishJerricco | point is just that it needs an update to the manual | 05:46:28 |
ElvishJerricco | so maybe we change the ISO+manual in a separate PR | 05:46:44 |
hexa | https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ANixOS%2Fcalamares-nixos-extensions%20networkmanager&type=code | 05:47:15 |
@emma:rory.gay | that reminds me of installing nixos for the first time in the middle of class lol (using the headless iso, /me grumbles in i686) | 05:47:21 |
hexa | not exactly sure what the calamares stuff needs changing for nm | 05:47:23 |
hexa | https://github.com/NixOS/calamares-nixos-extensions/blob/63620df329c29fafc4928414fcde5d73f5b24f31/modules/nixos/main.py#L538-L543 | 05:47:55 |
@emma:rory.gay | * that reminds me of installing nixos for the first time in the middle of class lol (using the headless iso, /me grumbles in i686), NM would have been convenient, though not what i wouldve expected either for an install iso | 05:48:09 |
hexa | not sure why we hate our enlightenment users, but that's probably a design choice that goes over my head 😛 | 05:48:30 |
hexa | as long as we don't package xlibre I'm fine | 05:48:44 |
@emma:rory.gay | enlightenment preferences is why | 05:49:04 |
ElvishJerricco | oh does the graphical installer already enable networkmanager by default? | 05:49:34 |
ElvishJerricco | huh | 05:49:36 |
ElvishJerricco | look, more reasons it shouldn't be decoupled from nixos-generate-config... | 05:49:49 |
@emma:rory.gay |
Enlightenment's preferred network manager is ConnMan which can be installed from the connman package. Follow the instructions on ConnMan to do the configuration.

hexa | https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ANixOS%2Fcalamares-nixos-extensions%20usedhcp&type=code | 05:50:10 |
hexa | so good that you are testing for usedhcp 😛 | 05:50:17 |
ElvishJerricco | (I'm gonna test real quick to make sure the graphical installer enables networkmanager; it wouldn't be the first time the code seemed to say one thing and it did another) | 05:52:03 |
ElvishJerricco | indeed it does | 05:59:14 |
hexa |  Download image.png | 06:02:57 |
hexa | 🐌 | 06:03:07 |
hexa | "quickly" testing the minimal installer | 06:03:47 |
hexa |  Download image.png | 06:20:00 |
hexa | that implies that gpg-agent requires a suid wrapper, no? 😄 | 06:20:17 |
@emma:rory.gay | mtr is above that, no? | 06:22:31 |
hexa | yes, but it is grouped with mtr | 06:22:41 |
@emma:rory.gay | in this case it feels like the suid wrapper thing applies to the former while the other 2 things are where gnupg comes in to demo | 06:23:29 |
emily | 💯 | 12:02:58 |
emily | would :1000: if I could | 12:03:00 |
emily | most projects that don't languish grow more than fast enough to be challenging without any explicit effort | 12:03:38 |
emily | and NixOS in particular is basically incapable of being everything to everyone, there's very little reason for anyone who doesn't want to program their distro to use it (directly; it could of course be a good backend to an end-user-focused distribution) | 12:07:35 |
