 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 |
| ElvishJerricco | * which, fair | 05:46:06 |
 @emma:rory.gay | wouldnt nmtui make a lot more sense? | 05:46:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | sure | 05:46:18 |
| @emma:rory.gay | ah hexa mentioned that as i was typing lol | 05:46:27 |
| 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 |

| @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 |

| @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 | 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 |
