Re: [Nix-dev] Too many open issues

2016-07-22 Thread Paul Dufresne
I did triaging in the past in a big distro. What was frustrating was that I had the feeling that most bugs were fixed by themselves (like if they were rediscovered and fix upstream, or care about when developers encounters them by themselves). Thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that

Thanks! I was able to build a new iso file with rpPPPoE and wvdial. I did not test wvdial. PPPoE does not seems to work. And it is a bit hard to say exactly why. No clear messages in journalctl -r. I thought I was using directly the same rpPPPoE in Arch Linux but Arch Linux now use netctl: https:/

Well, serial lines are not "Plug&Play" like PCI bus. So, AsFarAsIKnow, the Linux kernel does not generate any UDEV event for serial lines. (Like it does for most other devices). I guess, most people would use WinModems that necessitate to compile their own modules, which in my experience, sometime

I did not really test NixOS lately, but normaly /etc/ppp is rather where to find configuration files. The device is usualy /dev/ttyS0 (for the first serial RS232-C connector) or /dev/ttyS1 (for the second one). Or even /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3 for the third and fourth in some cases (mostly internal
