[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'd also like to extend udev-service-type in modem-manager-service-type - but that would create a cycle (gnu services networking) - (gnu services base).

Can we fix this please?

A way is to move static-networking-service into (gnu services base).

Or move %base-services to a new module (gnu base-services) or whatever.

Hello Danny,

Danny Milosavljevic <dannym <at> scratchpost.org> skribis:

> * gnu/services/desktop.scm (%desktop-services): Add ModemManager.

I would not add it to ‘%desktop-services’ because I’d think it’s not a
very common requirement, but I don’t know.  WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

What’s the reason?  Is there a module cross-dependency issue or
something?

Yes, (gnu services base) uses (gnu services networking), and now I wanted
to use (gnu services networking) in (gnu services base) - because
I extend udev service and it's in the latter.

but I thought of a better way to resolve it: Just put modem-manager service
into (gnu services base) to begin with.  Testing...

I see.

I’d actually prefer the initial approach—moving
‘static-networking-service-type’ to (gnu services base).  That seems
more logical to me.

Thanks,

Do we need internet in order to install GuixSD?

Then modem-manager should at least be available in the installation image.

I think this is orthogonal to the question of adding it to
‘%desktop-services’ since the installation image doesn’t rely on
‘%desktop-services’.

Nevertheless, this will all be a matter of size, usability, and
documentation.  If it adds “too much” to the size of the installation
image, I’d be rather against it.

If we do add it to the installation image, then we’ll have to document
it a little.

But then, at this point we should also consider adding NetworkManager to
the installation image.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

True.  I agree.

Well, some way of getting to the internet eventually needs to be available
somewhere.

(it's fine if it's only in the installed system, so I guess compilation
of everything is fine).

In Austria the cellphone internet is very cheap - so almost everyone has it
(and many have only that).  That said, USB or Wifi tethering is common, too.

I'm just trying to reduce the number of things I have to charge on the road :)

GNU Linux distributions nowadays have trouble providing any kind of simple
dialup installation - so it's more difficult to install GNU Linux here.
I think that's ridiculous since the AT commands and PPP required to have
some kind of internet didn't change sice circa 1985 - and it's small, too.

(I didn't know ModemManager before I packaged it here - but it does
some extra stuff like provide network card simulator integration for the
extremely fast LTE modems)

I still have not-so-fond memories of manually downloading a random wvdial
binary and its dependencies in order to be able to install Gentoo.  A normal
person (TM) would just give up ;)

So do you still want to add ‘modem-manager’ to ‘%desktop-services’?  :-)

:-)

I would expect people installing an OS to have Ethernet or WiFi.  One
gets WiFi even on the train nowadays.  ;-)

In terms of size it doesn’t look good:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size $(guix system build ~/src/guix/gnu/system/install.scm ) | tail -1
total: 1116.4 MiB
$ guix size $(guix system build ~/src/guix/gnu/system/install.scm ) modem-manager | tail -1
total: 1346.0 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

WDYT?

(I actually fail to see how we end up with 1G in the first place…)

Ping!  :-)

I think the only question was about patch 3/3, which adds ModemManager
to ‘%desktop-services’.  I’m in favor of dropping patch 3/3, but
regardless patches 1/3 (the variant that moves
‘static-networking-service-type’ to (gnu services base), as we
discussed) and 2/3 can definitely go in!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

It already is in master.  I guess I left the bug report open so far - probably
because of the %desktop-services .

I still want to underline that there should be a way for a regular user
to bootstrap from the GuixSD image to a "guix pull"-able system using
his existing internet connection - otherwise the first impression is bad.

This means that the GuixSD image needs to have at least pppd, and
maybe modem-manager too (maybe not).

I agree in principle, though, as I wrote, I think we need to strike a
balance between popularity and overhead, so to speak.  ModemManager
currently takes quite a bit of extra space, which is why I’m reluctant.
Do you think this can be optimized?  Or would pppd enough be convenient?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I'll check.

>Or would pppd enough be convenient?

I think that pppd would work on the vast majority of modems (slow transfer
speeds sometimes since many modems need network card emulation for the
faster modes - but they do work with PPP just fine, just slow).
