Hi,

gnuinos does support only some printers.

How can I install my printer which is not listed in the HP drivers list?

thanks

Hi,

2. question is solved.

I changed my desktop manager into gdm3, then it opened the GUI interface for logging in.
I can choose from the different desktops now.
I am happy.

But the 1st question is still unsolved.
I can´t connect to the internet.
I have to enter that command:  sudo dhclient eth0
after that I can use the internet.
It would be fine to solve this problem.

thanks

I tried to enter all network settings of my GNU Guix installation into the network configuration of Gnuinos
but it did not help to connect to the internet. 

In the book of Michael Kofler (Linux Kommandoreferenz)
I found network administration commands.

sudo dhclient eth0

after using that
interestingly was able to connect to the internet.
But it works only for one session. After rebooting into the system the other settings take over.

May be my problem is connected with installing a server besides the desktops.
How can I get rid, uninstall the server?
May be that solves the problem of the internet connection.
Could somebody show me his settings for the network?
So that I can adjust them.

thanks

for your information

the
gnuinos-daedalus_2025.10.12_amd64_desktop.iso    2025-10-12 19:11  3.6G 
did not work today. I wanted to install from there.

So I used the
gnuinos-daedalus_2025.10.12_amd64_netinstall.iso 2025-10-12 19:11  417M 
which worked

Hi,

For your information:

I choose the expert install mode because I wanted to install Gnuinos on the 2nd partition.
I thought the automatic install option would overwrite my Guix installation on the 1st partition.

Is there an option within the automatic install option or any other possible installation methods where I can choose the partition?

But nevertheless the installation with the expert mode seemed to be ok. It could be that I didn´t choose an option which would be necessary.
I didn´t include proprietary drivers, I used only free drivers.

thanks

I installed Gnuinos again with the netinstaller iso and it connected to the repository.
Everything worked seemingly ok.

But starting Gnuinos there is only the terminal without GUI and the possibility to choose different desktops.
In the terminal I can  use "startx" and it opens LXQT as the only desktop.

There is no internet connection available.
I don´t know all the settings.

That´s why I would like to choose another desktop which can automatically detect printer and ethernet connections.
I also installed KDE and MATE and Gnome desktop.
How can I choose KDE desktop in the terminal?

thanks

Somehow I managed to install Gnuinos,
and now it starts only in the terminal because it didn´t ask me for installing some desktops and so on.
So how can I install the GUI with at least one desktop, from which I can install afterwards other packages and desktops.

thanks

Hi,
I can´t use "packages.gnuinos.org" for downloading. It does not work.

During installation of Gnuinos it asks me for an other mirror.
Do you know which mirrors exist?

thanks
