Hi, I'm trying to install Nix on OS X and the installer logs me out at some point (just upgraded to High Sierra and same problem). How can I diagnose the problem?
<LnL>
what's the error?
glenn__ has joined #nix-darwin
<parenthetical>
I can't see the error because I'm logged out abruptly during installation
<LnL>
oh
<LnL>
as in the ui crashes?
<parenthetical>
Not logged out actually, but the desktop shell restarts
<parenthetical>
yes
<LnL>
what's your sw_vers -productVersion
<parenthetical>
10.13.2 but it happened with 10.12 as well
<LnL>
did you run a dscl . -read /Groups/nixbld before deleting by any chance?
glenn__ has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<parenthetical>
unfortunately not
<LnL>
well I suspect your user was part of the nixbld group somehow
<parenthetical>
oh, yes I think that's it!
<parenthetical>
why would that result in a crash?
<LnL>
that group is used to run builds as unprivileged users, that's what the nixbld1 ... users are for
<parenthetical>
I didn't realise before that there were users as well as the group
<LnL>
what nix does is kill all of that user's processes when the build finishes to avoid background processes, or things that could influence the next build
<LnL>
you don't want your login user to be one of those :D
<parenthetical>
haha
<LnL>
the kernel bug was actually something similar
<LnL>
the kill syscall that runs as one of the nixbld users would sometimes be able to kill the kernel

essentially a dos vulnerability since any user could trigger that
