@hexa:lossy.networkhexa????05:37:48
@hexa:lossy.networkhexanot even a maintainer 😄 smh05:38:14
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayhm, does discussion go on the PR or here? lol05:38:57
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaif you want to discuss the implementation that goes on the PR05:39:24
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gaythen 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 lol05:40:26
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathis is not about the installer, but about the default config rendered for the installation05:40:57
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayyeah im aware05:41:08
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa* this is not about the graphical installer, but about the default config rendered for the installation05:41:10
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayits just the generator template thats being changed, thats an implementation detail :)05:41:29
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayanyways, its why i use static IPs on LAN at home now for my desktop (though convenient anyways)05:41:52
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccothough, also, maybe we should do NM by default in the ISO too :P05:42:32
@hexa:lossy.networkhexastable slaac addressing means I don't care about the IPv4 address anymore05:42:40
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccomight be good to lump that in with this change as well?05:42:41
@hexa:lossy.networkhexasgtm05:42:48
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayif we're doing that, sounds like it might be useful to show both configurations05:43:01
@hexa:lossy.networkhexavcunat will hate you for the size increase though 😛 05:43:01
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoit's already default for the graphical ISO05:43:17
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccojust need to make it common to minimal and graphical05:43:24
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerricco So probably move it from installation-cd-graphical-base.nix to installation-cd-base.nix 05:43:41
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawhat do we have for minimal anyway?05:43:42
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerricco pretty sure just networking.useDHCP and for wireless it has "do it yourself, coward" 05:44:20
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawe had a wpa_supplicant command line in the manual at some point05:44:45
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoyea, that's what I mean :P05:44:53
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoSo I guess we'll want to change the manual too05:45:03
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawe ship wpa_supplicant and suggest using wpa_cli 😄 05:45:28
