I prefer a rolling release distribution, and I like Arch a lot, +so Artix was the logical choice.</p> +<p>After the first hour of floundering around I got it working.</p> +<p>For some reasong the default network manager was limiting network access, for example the Artix site +and my own site were ok, but reddit and duckduckgo were not allowed. I checked /etc/hosts but couldn't find +the culprit. In the end I removed ConnMan and installed networkmanager and it worked straight away. In addition +I can now use nmtui.</p> +<p>There are still things to fix, for example the SLiM desktop manager no longer works, true it's ancient, +so I'll have to find a replacement Until then I'm just typing startx after logging in.</p> +<p>I have dwm running, bluetooth and pipewire too, so it's just a question of fiddling around.</p> + + </article> +</main> +<footer> + + <p> </p> + + <p>ยง</p> + </footer> +</body> +</html> |
