 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
