Missing network drivers

[darch7]

There is a way that I can choose the packages because I like pipewire and it installs pulseaudio in sway ... and lxterminal does not seem the best terminal for sway u.u and I would like it to implement the fedora group for the network so it grabs all the plates network in gral

[martinpitt]

pipewire is already installed. The pulseaudio daemon is not, just the libraries (which a lot of programs still use -- that's fine, pipewire supports the pulseaudio API):

pipewire-0.3.32-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-libs-0.3.32-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.32-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.32-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-alsa-0.3.32-1.fc34.x86_64

I don't actually use lxterminal for my daily work, but https://github.com/mh21/simple-term . I just have that in my ~/bin/. lxterminal is just a fallback in case that somehow does not work. Which terminal do you suggest instead? As long as it's small, I'm fine with changing it to something else, as it's just a fallback (and if it's the only annoying thing on this image for you, then it'd spare you from having to build it yourself).

I am not sure what you mean by "implement the fedora group for the network", but that sounds like user permissions? Users are managed outside of the ostree image, you should be able to create them and add them into groups etc.?

I was referring to the fact that the fedora group that uses the workstation iso can be integrated to be able to make all the network cards compatible and read by the system, and regarding the terminal since sway is wayland meter lxterminal is very xorg there are terminals dedicated to wayland like alacritty and foot if you want simpler like st this is also wterm. Another thing is that when I finish executing the repo that eliminates gnome etc ... it does not have a DM display manager like lightdm you could put a light one like slim if you want. It would be very helpful

Sorry, I don't understand what that means. You are missing some networking drivers?

terminals dedicated to wayland like alacritty

Sure, done in commit 1bba7ee63f5a.

it does not have a DM display manager like lightdm

I won't do that on my tree, sorry. I don't want or need a display manager, it's another thing that runs all the time and pulls in tons of dependencies. I want to keep my system minimal. You are of course welcome to add it and build the tree yourself, or add it as an overlay with rpm-ostree install.

pipewire and terminal are solved, DM is wontfix, so changing the title for the remaining "network drivers" part.

[darch7]

rpm-ostree groupinstall Hardware-Support This is the group that brings all the drivers that workstation uses only for the network card drivers. with the DM slim it doesn't have much dependency, it's the cleanest and lightest DM out there.

rpm-ostree groupinstall Hardware-Support

Gives me

error: Unknown command 'groupinstall'

But if something like that works, you can do by yourself then, it's an overlay.

@darch7 : I reverted the lxterminal → alacritty change. I just tried the latter, and it's just too broken. No working mouse copy&paste, colors in mutt etc. look weird, bash does not recognize $TERM and thus both prompts and shells in containers are utterly broken (not even backspace works), and no way to get a light theme.

[darch7]

rpm-ostree groupinstall Hardware-Support

Gives me

error: Unknown command 'groupinstall'

But if something like that works, you can do by yourself then, it's an overlay.

of course I forgot that rpm-ostree does not handle groups like dnf
