If i want to share internet I have to use another distro, which I don't prefer since GuixSD feels better to me. I use mainly GuixSD (as I said) on my main laptop, which I configured in other several distros I used before to share internet via ethernet, to a desktop PC. Doing this steps in any distro would always work, one of these distros which I used before and this worked was Debian, and Fedora, for example. The steps as simple as: 1 - Open a terminal, write: nm-connection-editor 2 - It opens, normally you would have two devices, ethernet and wifi. 3 - Choose ethernet, go to IPv4 and change method to 'sharing' 4 - It works! This is the same as using for example, nmcli, but faster of couse. It works on Xfce, MATE and gnome, since they use nmcli and nm-connection-editor too. Doing this in other distros, as I sayed before, works perfectly, in guixSD doesn't seem to be the case, maybe something is missing, a package or something? Looking for packages that may be missing, I reached the Archlinux wifi for network manager, which in one part says: Scenario: your device has internet connection over wi-fi and you want to share the internet connection to other devices over ethernet. Requirements: - Install the dnsmasq package to be able to actually share the connection. - Your internet connected device and the other devices are connected over a suitable ethernet cable (this usually means a cross over cable or= a switch in between). Then do the steps that I already described, and it should work, my question is... Is this necessary?, and in the case it is, should I install it on my user, or on my next reconfigure?... My following guix describe is: Generaci=C3=B3n 5 08 sep 2019 22:47:08 (actual) guix 1d03a91 URL del repositorio: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git rama: master revisi=C3=B3n: 1d03a9198db6f3656a34d62eb89e5f7d5a99e76a Thank you in advantage!
