| LeePen | fsmithred: saw your note from the meet about the tasks switching from wicd to nm. | 11:45 |
|---|---|---|
| LeePen | Have you tried connman? | 11:45 |
| LeePen | Has anybody tried connman? | 11:46 |
| Unit193 | If you do, try cmst. I packaged it long ago as it was the best UI for connman, though it is Qt5... | 11:46 |
| Unit193 | I have an updated version of it with VPN support, but I don't have access to the lxqt-team on salsa so can't push and upload.. | 11:47 |
| LeePen | Unit193: OK. Thanks | 11:47 |
| LeePen | Unit193: Have you ever tried connman-gtk? | 11:49 |
| Unit193 | I thought so, but it only appeared in 2019 which is way after my trial. So either I didn't, or packaged it and dumped it as it was awful. | 11:50 |
| bgstack15 | Unit193, than you for your thoughts! We did discuss connman but I've never heard of cmst. I'm a connman fan when wicd isn't available. fsmithred estimated that Network Manager is what would be preferred by people who merely choose "task-desktop-xfce" or similar. | 13:37 |
| bgstack15 | I use connman-gtk over connman-ui, but maybe I'll have to try cmst. | 13:38 |
| fsmithred | cmst is default for either kde or lxqt. I forget which. | 13:39 |
| bgstack15 | I generally prefer gtk things but I do like the Qt-based CopyQ. | 13:43 |
| fsmithred | Here's more info that I did not include in yesterday's notes: | 13:49 |
| fsmithred | task-kde-desktopRecommends: plasma-nm | 13:49 |
| fsmithred | task-lxqt-desktopnone | 13:49 |
| fsmithred | task-lxde-desktopnone | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | lxdeDepends: wicd | network-manager-gnome | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | lxqtRecommends: cmst | nm-tray | network-manager-gnome | plasma-nm | wicd | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | I'm trying connman now (again). I don't remember what I didn't like about it when I tried it before. | 13:52 |
| bgstack15 | It is finicky about actually "starting off in system tray" | 14:21 |
| bgstack15 | also, it wants to take over your resolv.conf unless you drop DAEMON_OPTS="-r" in /etc/defaults/connman | 14:21 |
| fsmithred | I had to add 'connman-ui-gtk' to my startup apps to get it into the tray in xfce. | 14:43 |
| fsmithred | also, need to install connman-gtk if you want 'Connman settings' in the menu. | 14:44 |
| fsmithred | hi LeePen. Did you read the last few minutes of the log? | 14:44 |
| fsmithred | uh... last hour. | 14:44 |
| LeePen | I'll check the backlog | 14:45 |
| fsmithred | I need to go make breakfast. Back in a bit. | 14:45 |
| LeePen | Maybe we go for network-manager-gnome | connman-gtk? | 14:48 |
| LeePen | That way anybody who really want to avoid nm has options. | 14:49 |
| LeePen | Or even network-manager-gnome | connman-gtk | cmst ? | 14:49 |
| bgstack15 | oh and fsmithred: yeah, I remember that connman-gtk doesn't provide a /etc/xdg/autostart/ entry, so I wrote one for myself. Maybe we should stick that package in devuan? | 14:59 |
| bgstack15 | https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:bgstack15/connman-gtk-xdg-autostart | 15:00 |
| fsmithred | yes to multiple options for the deps. I have to go out. bbl. | 15:19 |
| LeePen | Updated tasksel building now. | 19:27 |
| LeePen | Fixed #533 (I think). | 19:28 |
| LeePen | Also added connman-gtk and cmst as alternatives to nm for xfce. | 19:28 |
| LeePen | I presume Gnome and MATE users are happy with nm ;) | 19:29 |
| golinux | We checked the popcon stats yesterday and nm had most installs | 20:06 |
