I'm running into the same issue posted here on the mailing list (https://nixos.org/nix-dev/2017-May/023769.html), with a proprietary binary that seems to want GLIBC_2.2.5. are there any known ways to work around this? Can I pull in an older version of GLIBC somehow to work with this particular binary?

alevy: You can just use an older version of nixpkgs that has that glibc version

can i do that _just_ for this particular binary or do I need to downgrade my whole system?

Do you have a nix expression to build it?

And you probably have an `import <nixpkgs> {}` there somewhere/?

yes! :) so i replace that somehow with a pointer to an older version?

I'm guess I can just use the git history for nixpkgs to figure out a version with glibc 2.2.5
<infinisil>
Yeah, local clone recommended to figure that out

Hey guys I've been very interested in installing NixOS as my daily driver but I wanted to know if someone could tell me how easy it is to run games on it? What I know so far is that its relatively easy to launch steam with a couple of console commands to make it compatible, but I was wondering if there's been any big changes?
Mic92 has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<samueldr>
a couple console commands?
<samueldr>
last time I started steam, I only had to run `steam`

(though there are two options in addition to the package that will be needed in configuration.nix)

how do use nix-shell/nix-instaniate with a local nixpkgs git repository?
heinrich5991 has quit [Quit: quit.]
<elvishjerricco>
sir_guy_carleton: You can just use `-I nixpkgs=./my-nixpkgs-checkout` on any command to change where it gets `<nixpkgs>` from. Or you can just use `./my-nixpkgs-checkout` as a file, i.e. `nix-shell ./my-nixpkgs-checkout -A hello`
<elvishjerricco>
For `-p` it's easiest to just do `-I`: `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=./nixpkgs -p hello`
<samueldr>
(when given a folder, most, if not all, functions that want a nix file will use default.nix)

steam is the actual package on nix though

<srhb>
s/aren't/shouldn't be :)
<zli>
sphalerite : i do use the nix-shell for developing.
<srhb>
You absolutely can install them, but it definitely won't work how you expect, and will likely break things in subtle or non-subtle ways.
<sphalerite>
nix-shell is enough, you don't need to add it to configuration.nix as well
<zli>
sphalerite: i have an intermittent internet connection problem. So I have to have everything installed, so I can continue to code without internet.
<sphalerite>
zli: as long as you don't garbage-collect it away or upgrade your nixpkgs, nix-shell doesn't need to redownload the stuff
<zli>
sphalerit: i did not know that. now I do. Thanks.
<sphalerite>
:)
<Lears>
We really ought to have a nice way to make a gc root for a nix-shell env though.
<sphalerite>
zli: also if you set the keep-outputs option, nix will keep the outputs of drvs that still exist, and you can create a GC root for a nix-shell using nix-instantiate --indirect --add-root shell.drv
<sphalerite>
zli: then shell into it using nix-shell shell.drv
<sphalerite>
but keep-outputs and a gc root pointing at the drv should usually be enough :)

Hello. Could someone help me? I'm installing NixOS on a new machine. I've done so several times before, but never with LUKS (LVM over LUKS). I've gone through the entire process, and have reached the point where NixOS is booting (after entering the LUKS passphrase). But it hangs on boot. Before hanging it successfully reaches a bunch of targets, including 'Network is Online' and 'System Initialization'.
<Avaq>
I think LUKS may not be the cause of the problem, since it seems to work as intended. But I mentioned it because besides the hardware, it's what's different from my previous experiences.
<Avaq>
How would I go about analysing what causes it to hang?
<sphalerite>
Avaq: that doesn't sound like an issue that would be caused by LUKS. Is the root filesystem in the luks container?

I just don't know how to find out what kind of problem it is.
<sphalerite>
Avaq: is it a graphical setup? If so, does adding systemd.unit=multi-user.target to the kernel command line (press E on the boot menu entry) give you a login prompt?
<Avaq>
It is a graphical setup. Let me try. :)

Unrelated to my rustup issues, how do you enable unfree software for a specific channel? I want to use steam from unstable (system wide), so I `import <nixos-channel-name-here> {}`, but it won't let me get it because it's unfree
<teto>
wucke13: the pacakge seems a bit convoluted you should look into pkgs/applications/misc/zathura/default.nix IMO
<adisbladis>
jD91mZM2: Or use `allowUnfreePredicate` for more control over unfree packages
<jD91mZM2>
adisbladis: oooo, nice
<jD91mZM2>

<wucke13>
teto: Yes, thats where I found the variable useMupdf. The question left is why it defaults to true, and how I can change it?
<teto>
wucke13: there is no easy way to overridethis (the package should be changed I guess). if you have a local checkout of nixpkgs, you could just add zathura_pdf_poppler to the plugins list
<wucke13>
Found the first answer, first line of the default.nix

Hi, I installed the 'spectacle' screenshot utility and kde is set to 'start screenshot tool' when pressing print. However, if I press print, spectacle doesn't start. I already tried rebooting. I guess kde doesn't know what my so-called 'screenshot tool' is. How could I resolve that?

sphalerite: I'm back to it. I checked 'systemctl --list-units' and noticed boot.mount had failed. I then searched the journal and found 'boot.mount: mount process exited, code=exited status=32'. I then checked my fileSystems config and found I had misconfigured boot as ext4 (while drive is formatted as vfat). After fixing it, manually mounting boot and rebuilding nixos, everything works fine! The installation is a success. :D
<haslersn>
Another thing (maybe bug): If configuration.nix contains fetchgit or the like, it won't build if git is not installed. It does build if git is installed. So there are two problems: (a) it doesn't work if git isn't installed and (b) it's not pure. Should I open an issue for that?

sbdchd has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

It's something you learn quickly with NixOS and then never forget. It is an unintuitive error, yes, because it implies that the to-be-executed file is not present, when actually it is the defined interpreters which is absent
<d1rewolf>

tzemanovic has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<infinisil>
d1rewolf: Probably just `nix repl '<nixpkgs>'` and type `go_<Tab>`
<d1rewolf>
infinisil: k, thx
<infinisil>
Or `nix-shell -p go_<Tab>` assuming you have autocompletion working
<haslersn>
How to get such autocompletion?
<makefu>
programs.bash.enableCompletion
<haslersn>
d1rewolf: I don't know how to properly search for something like go. Programming languages tend to have poor names
<makefu>
or programs.zsh.enableCompletion respectively
<haslersn>
makefu: Unfortunately, I use fish
<haslersn>
Thanks though
<makefu>
np
<makefu>
maybe you can port the zsh code to fish and we have programs.fish.enableComplection :)
<haslersn>
I will try that
<makefu>
fantastic!

hmmm....so I'm doing some Android development using the nixos-provided android-studio. android-studio downloads sdks, and puts them in ~/Android/Sdk. this includes tools like adb. However, I have the same problem with this.... zsh: no such file or directory: ./adb
<d1rewolf>
doesn't this sort of thing cause a lot of problems in cases like this?
<makefu>
d1rewolf: the provided adb will not have the correct ld interpreter set. normally it should be enough to have adb in your path ( as described in https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Android )
<d1rewolf>
makefu: thx

hmm! with nix 2.0.4, got "unexpected $end, at /nix/store/[...]-env-manifest.nix:1:1" when removing the last channel (of root) `nix-channel --remove nixos`... which led me to believe it had failed as it will print the same error if done again.

samueldr: if you dont care about rollbacks when removing all channels, just nuke the /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels* symlinks
<clever>
samueldr: it will then behave as if you have never done `nix-channel --update` before
EarlDeLaWarr has joined #nixos
<samueldr>
hm, this made the error go away
<samueldr>
(though it didn't bother me much as I don't use channels at all)
<clever>
samueldr: its also plausible that the manifest.nix was corrupt somehow
<samueldr>
I was mainly wondering whether I did something wrong, or something was overlooked
<samueldr>
(the file was empty)
<clever>
i dont think its supposed to be empty
<samueldr>
even without channels?
<clever>
what does `nix-store --verify --check-contents` report?
<clever>
the manifest.nix is part of how nix-env manages -i and -e, and i dont think its valid to be empty
<samueldr>
:/
kisik21 has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]

what does `nix-store --verify --check-contents` report?
<samueldr>
weird thing is I was able to nix-env -q and -e right for root
<samueldr>
(running)
<samueldr>
it's a rpi3, so it may take a while
<clever>
ah
<samueldr>
though I'm confident it's not because of aarch64, just a fun coincidence
<samueldr>
path '/nix/store/r40gyka18jawgaandmqsmn77k0v6ranb-env-manifest.nix' was modified! expected hash 'sha256:11lmcx7vcy6l4wv66i4zby5gp33sa1qizdglaaswsb199y8yjsif', got 'sha256:0ip26j2h11n1kgkz36rl4akv694yz65hr72q4kv4b3lxcbi65b3p'
<samueldr>
yay, no issues with nix then
<sphalerite>
lol nice
<clever>
samueldr: if you have nuked the generation stuff, then you can just `nix-store --delete` that path
<samueldr>
yeah
kreetx has joined #nixos

i believe ext4 values metadata over data
sbdchd has joined #nixos
<clever>
and in the event of an improper shutdown, will just truncate files
<samueldr>
at that point I'm fine, I just had to guide myself a bit into the right problem area
<clever>
so the last generation was busted, and you would have had to use `nix-channel --rollback` to get to the previous manifest.nix and be able to update properly
<clever>
or just nuke the entire profile from orbit :P
<samueldr>
eh!, it was literally the only generation, fresh install to test 18.09
<simukis>
how do I make nix (nixos-rebuild, nix run etc) be able to use more than a single core?
<samueldr>
(and to test sd-card-less boot)
<clever>
simukis: there are 2 options in nix.conf, max-jobs and build-cores
<clever>
max-jobs and cores i mean
<clever>
max-jobs is how many derivations it does in parallel, cores is how many cores make&friends will try to use
<simukis>
I have those set to 16 and 0 correspondingly
Fare has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<clever>
then nix will try to do up to 16 derivations in parallel, and each one will try to use every core, resulting in it starting up to 16 times the number of cores worth of gcc's
<simukis>
yeah, but it does not do that. Especially not inside the command invoked via nix run
<simukis>
it seems like it is placed in some sort of cgroup that is limited to 1 core
<simukis>
s/like/as if/
<clever>
simukis: there is a bug that `nix run` will pin itself to a single core, and that then inherits to the shell it launches
<clever>
that is entirely seperate from max-jobs and cores
<simukis>
is this bug also applicable to nixos-rebuild, because I’m seeing the same behaviour with that as well
kreetx has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<clever>
it only effects nix run
