A few days ago I replaced GNOME with KDE and I couldn't figure out why the X11 session wouldn't start. Without the xsession-errors file I would have never figured out what was wrong. (I deleted some packages used by autostart scripts)

In college I've learned that it's called a shell because it's the "exterior"/presentation component of your system. Apart from that, a shell is a command interpreter. There are TUI shells and GUI shells. The former interprets your written commands and the latter interprets so much more than just your keystrokes.

Being a fascist has nothing to do with being Jewish. Fascism is the reaction of the bourgeois class against a strong, mainstream workers' movement. Does such a movement exist in the United States? No, so there is no fascism, just regular capitalism. Lunduke by a accounts is petit bourgeois.

His videos are almost unwatchable, they are too full of dogwhistles ("Nazis were socialist, that's left wing", he really said it) and ragebait, which I'm sure is absolutely delectable for his intended audience. He's just making idpol content for idpol victims.

Sidenote: To all people who think that by fighting "leftism" or the woke movement you're fighting against identity politics, guess what? You are just another puppet of identity politics. Identity politics is another divide and conquer tactic of the bourgeois class to divide the working class. There is no fundamental difference between an overworked straight white male truck driver or a queer they/them black Starbucks barista. Society is built on their backs -- they work, are paid a wage and the "entrepreneurs" collect the so-called "surplus-value"

You can also choose to go with the Live install images and run the "remove_firmware.sh" script provided at /root.

#5 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] network manager doesn't see wi-fi connections on fresh install. » 2024-09-10 21:17:56

Instructions for anyone with the same problem:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Comment your wifi interface:

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp2s0
iface wlp2s0 inet dhcp
       wpa-ssid [your wifi-name]
       wpa-psk  [password]

To become this:

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug wlp2s0
#iface wlp2s0 inet dhcp
#       wpa-ssid [your wifi-name]
#       wpa-psk  [password]

Then, edit your NetworkManager.conf:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

And change it like so (below [ifupdown] change managed to `true`)

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true

Now everything should work fine after a reboot (at least this was the exact fix I was looking for). Now the `nmtui` shows all the nearby Wi-Fi networks.

Hello!

I'm doing a fresh install of Devuan OpenRC (switching from Gentoo). I want a minimal Devuan server install & to use network-manager and nmtui to connect to Wi-Fi (at home and away). I selected my wlan0 interface as default in the installer, and that seems to have hardcoded my home wi-fi's SSID and passkey directly into /etc/network/interfaces.

I think the package that manages this is ifupdown, but I am not sure. In Gentoo I simply skipped dhcpcd and directly installed network-manager and everything worked out of the box.

Can someone please walk me through setting up Devuan OpenRC with network-manager?
