<duairc> Wow, this is incredible, not only was I able to import old commits of nixpkgs to get ancient versions of GHC, I was able to add them to my environment.systemPackages and the binary builds are still cached! Didn't have to build anything and they all seem to actually work too

sinner has joined #nixos
<duairc> And like, *of course they work*, that's just a property of how Nix is built, unless the kernel made some funny change somewhere along the way
sinner is now known as Guest35183
<gchristensen> =)
<duairc> I am surprised the binaries are still cached though, do they get cached forever?
<Myrl-saki> Apparently, builtins.toJSON can not necessarily be reified back with fromJSON.
<gchristensen> ...eh, Myrl-saki?
<Myrl-saki> [myrl@myrl-lappy:/tmp/tmp.qT1vZLRsxI]$ nix eval '(builtins.fromJSON (import <nixpkgs> {}).weechat.pkgs)'
<Myrl-saki> error: the string '[{"paths":["/nix/store/q0aw9i16mj12mswj11arir2rb7fr821m-weechat"],"priority":5},{"paths":["/nix/store/p6g25z4da2jcqk551l4zgscflfj2f6m6-weechat-headless"],"priority":5}]' is not allowed to refer to a store path (such as '!out!/nix/store/kja56wqdcjf490b17f61dw8s130i84hk-weechat.drv'), at (string):1:2
<gchristensen> heh.
<Myrl-saki> It's a srs problem. ; ~ ;
<Myrl-saki> It means that there's no way to get the underlying `weechat` without changing the derivation itself.
<gchristensen> ...eh?
<Myrl-saki> Oh.
<Myrl-saki> Apparently, a weechat-unwrapped package exists in master now.
<Myrl-saki> gchristensen: The commit message has almost the same rationale as me.
<gchristensen> ah
<Myrl-saki> TL;DR. The underlying weechat binary can not be treated like other derivaitons in 18.09.
<Myrl-saki> So I can not for example, get the source of the weechat package from `nix repl`

teto has joined #nixos
Diagon has joined #nixos
<teto> it seems like I have grub entries that are not valid anymore because the kernels have been garbage-collected. Is that expected ?
<ottidmes> teto: yeah, only if you do nixos-rebuild boot or nixos-rebuild switch --install-bootloader (I believe that flag is necessary for switch to have the same effect), will it remove those entries
acarrico has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
iqubic` is now known as iqubic
<teto> ottidmes: I was kinda surprised, but I guess generating bootloader entries is sensitive enough we don't want to run it everytime ?
<ottidmes> teto: I do not know the exact reasoning behind it, but it will probably something like that, yes
iqubic has left #nixos ["ERC (IRC client for Emacs 26.1)"]
iqubic has joined #nixos
<gchristensen> you don't need --install-bootloader
<samueldr> wrt my earlier question, this is a simple fixed-output derivation that is sandbox friendly https://github.com/samueldr/nix-universal-prefetch/blob/d61f47f0f5ee9ee43d4e2039838edf85d908463b/test/default.nix#L61-L69
<gchristensen> the trouble is the bootloader entries are not part of the normal store garbage process, and there is no hook for garbage collection to tell nixos to prune those entries
<ottidmes> gchristensen: I saw that flag mentioned a few times in similar context, but after checking the logs it seems it was only relevant when changing bootloaders
aanderse_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
aanderse_ has joined #nixos
<samueldr> a good way to reason of that behaviour is how it's not adding or removing bootloader entries, but regenerating the list from what's in the store
Diagon has quit [Quit: Leaving]
chessai has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<samueldr> nix itself has no concept of "outside the store" so collecting there can't affect those :/

<ottidmes> gchristensen: samueldr: do any of you know how to deal with the notation in a .drv, I wish it used JSON instead...
<gchristensen> nix show-derivation /nix/store/the.drv
<samueldr> never looked at a .drv
<ottidmes> gchristensen: how about that! thanks!
<ottidmes> samueldr: nix-store --query keeps reporting useless information while the right information is right there in the .drv, so I figure, better get it straight from there
<jasongrossman> samueldr: LLOL at the allegory of the cave.
<ottidmes> gchristensen: no wonder I did not remember it reporting it as json, considering the description "show the contents of a store derivation."

<samueldr> what if... the bootloader was aware of nix generations innately?

<jasongrossman> Or the holographic theory of the universe.
Supersonic has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<jasongrossman> I'm happy GCing my boot partition manually. After all, it's a different partition, and doesn't fill up at the same time as my /nix (or indeed ever).

bandali has joined #nixos
<gchristensen> mine can only fit like 25 :| generations
strobelight_ is now known as strobelight
<teto> I might open an issue because seeing 3/4 generations in bootloader gave me a false sense of security (like I can fallback 3 generations in the past) while I could only get back one generation
<samueldr> my idea, would store zero, and considering secure boot, if the drive being opened was encrypted, would have (I think) passable security
<teto> which was enough to save my ass
Supersonic has joined #nixos

<gchristensen> ...oh? :o

jb55 has joined #nixos
<samueldr> and I know there's a third one I can't remember the name
thadthemad has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<samueldr> though here it would be a specialized one, nixos-only thing
kvda has joined #nixos
<q6AA4FD> is there any support for nim-lang/nimble a la haskellPackages/cabal2nix
<gchristensen> samueldr: nice. some hardware doesn't handle kexec very well, but I only know of one chassis which doesn't. so.... I'd ignore that.
<samueldr> I think the idea is to *not* add the fancy drivers for anything, boot nomodeset and such and then you're pretty fine for 99% of the cases
<jasongrossman> teto: Good point.
<samueldr> (knowledge from previous reading sessions)
<q6AA4FD> samueldr: you could maybe actually make it aware if you built it into the initramfs and used refind
<gchristensen> cool!
<samueldr> q6AA4FD: what do you mean?
sanscoeur has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
<q6AA4FD> refind will automatically populate its entries based on the kernel.efi files in its boot directory, and use the name to pair with an initramfs
<samueldr> ah, the idea here is not have pairs of initrd and kernels in the ESP :)
<q6AA4FD> oh, i see. i didn't realize initramfs were large enough to cause a problem
<samueldr> q6AA4FD: is this your usual nickname?
<q6AA4FD> samueldr: yup, why do you ask?
<samueldr> don't remember interacting with you, and it looks like a placeholder when nickserv boops a nick
<q6AA4FD> my initramfs is 5.6M, does nixos expand tem?
<samueldr> (no offense)
d4g has joined #nixos
<ottidmes> I am trying to figure out whether it is possible to determine whether a given hash is pointing to an older version. I had hoped it was a matter of asking the output (which is reused if the hash stays the same but e.g. url is changed) what its derivation was, but that information seems useless, it point to the very first derivation that produced the output, which tends to be a bogus hash when applying TOFU)
<samueldr> it depends what you add to them I guess, and how many generations you want to keep
<q6AA4FD> nah, you're good. i've just got into nix, so i can document my 2k line .org file full of shell scripts in a less ad-hoc way. and 6AA4FD is the hex code for sky blue
<gchristensen> nice
<jasongrossman> q6AA4FD: Some people have very small boot partitions, but big /nix partitions, so they're used to keeping lots of generations.
<gchristensen> my initrd + kernels are 19mb
<samueldr> around the same here
<jasongrossman> Same.
<ottidmes> 33.6M

<ottidmes> worse, openssh
<gchristensen> oops
<ottidmes> by choice, I do not mind a larger initrd, but dont like the idea of having multiple pieces of important software doing the same thing
<samueldr> gchristensen: which makes me think, wouldn't sshing-in to select a generation be nice?
<gchristensen> yes!
<gchristensen> like a P.reboot eXecution Environment but better
<{^_^}> [nixpkgs] @matthew-piziak opened pull request #53981 → add textlint to nodePackages → https://git.io/fhcXZ
<samueldr> if you're interested in the existing implementation of the idea I know of http://ftp.cvut.cz/kernel/people/geoff/petitboot/petitboot.html
<samueldr> though I'm not sure how ready it is for x86_64 I think it's mainly geared to be used as firmware for Open Power architecture

<srk> would expect it to match "100." but not just "100"
<ottidmes> does anyone know if somehere is being tracked (in the sqlite db of the Nix store maybe) what derivation actually produced an output, rather than just claiming it will produce it?

<ottidmes> infinisil: in theory yeah, but I am not getting the right answers from there
<ottidmes> infinisil: I am basically getting the first ever derivation claiming to build the output
<gchristensen> worth filing a bug over that
<ottidmes> gchristensen: guess I will just do that, otherwise it makes it useless
<gchristensen> although it will always be true that many drvs may have produced a given path
aleph- has joined #nixos
<samueldr> gchristensen: what makes my idea worth looking into as a side-project is how it would be useful for mobile-nixos since there's no way to run a real bootloader easily on the targeted devices
<samueldr> * (no sane and safe way)
<clever> samueldr: when i ran linux on my treo 650, the cpu lacked an MMU, so any app could just hijack the cpu and run another OS
<samueldr> that's cheating

vielmetti has joined #nixos
<bhipple> I'd look at the generic/setup.sh stdenv script to see all of the phases
<q6AA4FD> bhipple: alright, thanks
<bhipple> These are all the phases you get by default, but if you want to stomp all of them at once you can just set phases = [x, y, z]
<bhipple> in your package's nix expression
<q6AA4FD> bhipple: by stomp, you mean limit the phases that are run to the array provided?
<bhipple> If you don't provide an attribute called phases in your nix expr, you get exactly the ones in that list; you can provide your own to overwrite which phases do or do not get run
<bhipple> you can also substitute in your own implementation of any given phase. The cmake and waf helpers do this, for instance, with the hook mechanism
<q6AA4FD> bhipple: i see, thanks for your help!
xkapastel has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
<bhipple> You're welcome. Normally you don't have to replace all of the phases, you likely just have to replace buildPhase and installPhase

<infinisil> ghostyy: A bit more specific?
ottidmes has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
<ghostyy> i am setting boot.initrd.postDeviceCommands to a shell script in an external file
<ghostyy> in that file i use variables that are supposed to refer to nix variables with the ${foo.bar} syntax
<infinisil> Oh, builtins.readFile can't do that
<ghostyy> ah
<ghostyy> do you know how to do that then?
<infinisil> You'd have to define the file as a Nix file, wrap everything in '', and make it a function so you can pass the arguments
<ghostyy> ah... so its impossible basically
<infinisil> And then `import ./file.nix { foo = "..."; }'
<ghostyy> the shell substitution syntax works fine when its inline
<infinisil> Well, there's some alternatives
<ghostyy> eg blahblah = "... ${foo.bar} ..."; works
<infinisil> Yeah, because that's a Nix expression
<infinisil> Nix can't import non-expressions
<ghostyy> ah..
<infinisil> You could use builtins.scopedImport to avoid having to declare the arguments at the top of the file
<infinisil> Or a more common approach is to use @foo@ where you need the arguments (declare it as a normal file and use those), then run a `substituteAll` over the file in a runCommand to insert the arguments
<ghostyy> if i just used boot.initrd.postDeviceCommands = ''\n...${foo.bar}..\n'' would that work?
<ghostyy> ooh
<ghostyy> substituteall sounds way better
<ghostyy> since id like to keep it in a seperate file
<infinisil> You can't have Nix in the file then though, it's gonna be a simple string substitution
<infinisil> And yes, that example you mentioned does work (try it out)
<ghostyy> ah i see, thank you!

<schmittlauch[m]> Hi, I want to install Nix on a system I have no root access on -> I cannot create a /nix directory. How do I install Nix with a different nix store location located in my home directory?
<elvishjerricco> schmittlauch[m]: Linux or macOS?
<schmittlauch[m]> linux
<schmittlauch[m]> elvishjerricco: precisely: Ubuntu
<elvishjerricco> schmittlauch[m]: If your distro has user namespaces, you can use a chroot nix store. Otherwise you'll have to forego the binary cache (which assumes `/nix`), and bootstrap a big compiler toolchain.
<elvishjerricco> As for how exactly to do those things, I'm not exactly sure TBH
<schmittlauch[m]> eww, I thought that was easier
<elvishjerricco> schmittlauch[m]: IIRC, it's not too bad to install it in a custom location if you don't mind losing the binary cache
<schmittlauch[m]> but I see that RPATHs probably should be absolute
<elvishjerricco> The nix expressions automate the whole bootstrapping for you
<elvishjerricco> so that's mostly a CPU time problem, not a complexity problem
<schmittlauch[m]> elvishjerricco: it's a university machine I don't use that often, so I might not have the CPU time available. let's see how I do it

<schmittlauch[m]> elvishjerricco: Can you point me to resources describing on how to set up nix in a namespaced chroot?
<elvishjerricco> schmittlauch[m]: Not sure a resource exists, TBH. I know it's possible, but I'm not sure anyone's ever take the time to document it. You can check the Nix manual: https://nixos.org/nix/manual.
<immae> you can find it hear schmittlauch[m]: https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-building-source
<immae> here*
<immae> You have to build nix from source and specify another path

drgbr has joined #nixos
<mightybyte> ottidmes: How do I do that? This is all in configuration.nix so my default assumption is that that's already handled.
<gchristensen> hooo: when a package is built, it is built in a sandbox which contains nothing but the packages explicitly listed as a dependency
<gchristensen> hooo: so it cannot accidentally depend on something you happened to have installed, because it can't look at your system
<ottidmes> mightybyte: well if PATH is overwritten at some point, the system can set it properly all it wants, so you probably have to check first where where the error is exactly coming from and what the environment is like at that point

<mightybyte> duairc: How are you trying to build snap? I think "nix-shell -p haskellPackages.snap" should work.
<duairc> mightybyte: Well I have a big cabal project with lots of pacakges, and I'm just trying to build the whole thing with cabal... I'm not using the derivations in haskellPackages, because I'm on nixos-unstable and they're all built with GHC 8.6, but a few of my dependencies still need 8.4 so I'm stuck on that
<duairc> Maybe there's a better way, I'm still very new to this
<ottidmes> duairc: then just use haskell.packages.ghc844 instead
<duairc> Oh wow, didn't realise you could just do that
<mightybyte> duairc: Oh, then you have to declare zlib as a dependency of your package.
<duairc> mightybyte: But it's snap-core itself which fails to build
<mightybyte> duairc: If you get snap via nix, it will know that zlib is a dependency. But if you get it via cabal, it will not.
<duairc> But okay, I'll try using haskell.packages.ghc844
d5[m] has left #nixos ["User left"]

<mightybyte> duairc: That's a nice general default.nix template that should build most haskell packages that don't have version dependencies incommpatible with your current version of nixpkgs.

<mightybyte> duairc: Once you have some kind of a nix specification of your project, running "nix-shell" will drop you into a shell where all the dependencies are available. Then you can do normal cabal builds from there.
<duairc> mightybyte: Thanks, I really appreciate you helping me out here!
<mightybyte> duairc: You could continue with the cabal way, but you'd have to install all the non-haskell dependencies manually (kind of like you'd have to do with macOS, other Linux distros, etc).
<ottidmes> mightybyte: to fix your problem I think it should be: systemd.services.gitlab-runner.path = [ "/run/wrappers" ]; instead. I checked, path is defined with an apply of: apply = ps: "${makeBinPath ps}:${makeSearchPathOutput "bin" "sbin" ps}"; which if you test it has to be minus the /bin:

<{^_^}> Channel nixpkgs-unstable advanced to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/f9bd1533773 (from 2 days ago, history: https://channels.nix.gsc.io/nixpkgs-unstable)
<wedens> duairc: `toString path` will result in a "regular" path, "${path}" will copy to the store and provide a path in the store
<duairc> wedens: But my "path" is already a string
<duairc> Because it's derived from a variable which is a string
<romildo> I am getting the following messaging when running gnome-boxes from the terminal:
<romildo> (gnome-boxes:5243): Boxes-WARNING **: 12:23:38.938: libvirt-broker.vala:66: Failed to update domain 'boxes-unknown-2': Failed to set domain configuration: Cannot check QEMU binary /nix/store/cxbnr3h07d527d3lp16yjc2a9l9d6zk2-qemu-3.1.0/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: No such file or directory
<jomik1> I have `unstable = import (fetchFromGitHub {...} {}`, how would I replace that to just track `<unstable>` ?
<wedens> import <unstable> {}
<jomik1> Thanks :)
<duairc> wedens: I figured it actually, thanks!
<romildo> It seems that gnome-boxes is trying to use a qemu binary that is not installed anymore.
<romildo> Any clues?

<Taneb> Is there a nice way to say "Someone must type the password in to decrypt this drive during boot"?
<gchristensen> in code? or in words?
<gchristensen> because in words, that sounds nice
<Taneb> In code, ideally that I can put in my configuration.nix
<gchristensen> sure, is it LUKS?
<Taneb> No, ZFS
<gchristensen> no idea about encrypted zfs
<gchristensen> but with luks, if it for a password, it just ... prompts
<gchristensen> does it not work already?
<duairc> I'm using encrypted ZFS and it "just works" for me
<duairc> Well, I guess that's for /, I don't know how to do it for arbitrary drives
<Taneb> duairc: this isn't for /
<rauno> damn got dc before, has anyone idea about that network namespace question i asked before? as is there any limitation by nixos itself ?
<duairc> Taneb: I'd be interested to know if you figure this one out
<Taneb> I'm configuring a fileserver, the OS is on an SSD but the files are on a bunch of HDDs with encrypted ZFS
<duairc> I guess this is slightly different, but I think I want to make a LUKS partition that has within it two partitions: one for swap, and one containing a key, which is then used to decrypt a ZFS /
<gchristensen> Taneb: and it doesn't already work?

<cransom> rauno: no, no arbitary network namespace i've ever ran into.
<ottidmes> it seems like the sqlite3 executable wants to always open the DB in read/write mode, I tried: sqlite3 file:///nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite?mode=ro 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DerivationOutputs WHERE path = "/nix/store/swzxzspyqad5qdbbpiwr20bg8p7nl0ph-test.txt";' but I still get the error: attempt to write a readonly database, guess I will try the python bindings and see if it too complains

<Taneb> gchristensen: I've always had to decrypt the password after boot

<duairc> tommyangelo: You haven't enabled nerdfonts, have you? I was experiencing behaviour like that when I did, basically it turns out it was downloading a 2GB tarball in the background, it wasn't actually stopped
<gchristensen> is it stopped, or is it still executing?
<tommyangelo> ottidmes: nixos 18.03 on a Vultr VM. nix is 2.0.4
<tommyangelo> duairc: no, this is a very minimal config on a server to run one service.
<duairc> In the source-overrides of haskell.lib.developPackage, is there a way to get them to apply transitively to dependencies as well?

<gchristensen> uhhh builds a nixos system in that "remote"store? :thinking~
<clever> gchristensen: thats 80% of it, but what about the last 3 flags?
<ottidmes> clever: do you perhaps know if you can query the Nix store db.sqlite file without root?
<gchristensen> I assume it uses a remote builder to make it an aarch64 system in that remote store
<clever> ottidmes: `nix-store --query --something`
<clever> gchristensen: nope, --option system convinces nix that the "local" machine is aarch64
<clever> so builtins.currentSystem claims aarch64
<gchristensen> oh jeeze
<gchristensen> ok, so binfmt magic?
<clever> exactly!
<gchristensen> !!
<clever> that was used to modify an rpi image to have ssh enabled by default, because the user had no way to hook up a monitor
<gchristensen> omg!
<ottidmes> clever: I doubt you mean literally --something, I checked the nix-store manpage and tried the options listed, but unless I missed something you cannot query for all derivers for some output, like: sqlite3 /nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite 'SELECT drv FROM DerivationOutputs WHERE path = "/nix/store/swzxzspyqad5qdbbpiwr20bg8p7nl0ph-test.txt";'
<gchristensen> clever: nix is sooo cool

<clever> ottidmes: dang, only works if the given drv exists in the store
<ottidmes> clever: does not work, --deriver uses the deriver field, which points to _a_ deriver, different info
<clever> yeah, and its the wrong drv
halfbit has joined #nixos
erasmas has joined #nixos
<clever> you probably need root then, or blindly loop over every .drv, or a new command in the daemon protocol
<clever> gchristensen: that SD card also needed a `switch-to-configuration boot` as well, but thats easy enough
<ottidmes> clever: I inspected the database itself and --deriver is useless, it actually refers to a old wrong hash deriver that just happened to be the first to mention the output, not the one actually building the output
<clever> gchristensen: the bigger pain-point, is that the fresh img from hydra, lacks /etc/NIXOS, and /nix/var/nix/profiles/system, so nixos-enter really doesnt like it

<clever> gchristensen: also, due to entirely lacking a /etc, the configuration.nix for above was missing, so we had to nixos-generate-config one, and then fix it to not use grub
<gchristensen> I don't have an /etc on boot either, what is the trouble?
cyounkins has joined #nixos
<gchristensen> and I think nixos-generate-config doesn'at use grub for rpi?
<clever> nixos-rebuild and friends, on a fresh aarch64 image
<clever> gchristensen: no ssh, had to run nixos-generate-config on an x86 machine
<gchristensen> ooh right
<samueldr> the sd image hasn't had an activation made, AFAIUI, it's basically a copy of the closure + script to initialise the nix db at boot and activate
<clever> samueldr: switch-to-configuration must have been ran though, for /boot/ to be configured?
<clever> ahh
<samueldr> nothing is "ran" for the sd image
gagbo has joined #nixos
<clever> line 49 is the closest you get
<samueldr> yeah, let me rephrase "nothing from the resulting system is ran", it it makes more sense
<samueldr> all copied to FSes and then there's a pinky promise to rehydrate things as needed at first boot

<clever> duairc: you want haskellPackages.override { overrides = ...
Lears has joined #nixos
<duairc> clever: I don't have to duplicate the override logic in multiple places? I mean technically the pkgs that will result from what you have there, pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc843 won't have that new stuff, only pkgs.haskellPackages
<clever> duairc: you can also skip the nixpkgs config and just directly to myHaskellPackages = pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc843.override { overrides = ....
<babic> clever: I'm not sure that's the same use case, my shared.nix is more like the lib.nix from that repo. But thanks for introducing me to that repo, it will help with other stuff I'll want to do.
<duairc> clever: I guess I'm missing some sort of bigger picture here. Two weeks ago, (at least from a Haskell point of view), I knew nothing about Nix. I have a big repo with a bunch of cabal packages and a cabal.project file that ties them all together. I just want to be able to build and test it, but there seem to be so many different ways to do that. Cabal itself doesn't work anymore because it can't find
<duairc> zlib.so no matter what I do. I don't know all the different approaches to Haskell in Nix fit together. I've read many things but they all seem to make each other obsolete (or not?). with your myHaskellPackages thing, where do I put that, and how do I use that to build my project?
philippD has joined #nixos
<clever> duairc: nix can only provide a shell suitable for a single cabal file by default
<clever> duairc: so most cabal files must be built by nix in /nix/store/ and then you get a shell suitable for developing one
<__monty__> You can manually create an environment with a ghcWithPackages that has *all* the required packages though. As long as there's no conflicts.
<duairc> So if I have a bunch of cabal packages that aren't on Hackage or known by Nix at all, how do I build a project that where all these packages depend on each other without repeating myself? Do I make a default.nix for each package?
<clever> duairc: make a foo.nix for foo.cabal, using cabal2nix, then callPackage all of those inside the overrides = ... block of a haskell package override

<duairc> I'm a little bit closer now
<clever> duairc: if the config param of nixpkgs is missing, it will automatically load ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix

<{^_^}> Mic92's karma got increased to 7
<Taneb> Mic92: you've helped me figure this out, thank you
<__monty__> Is nix-lang untyped or dynamically typed?
waleee has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
nst^ has quit []
<gchristensen> is it not strictly typed, since you have to toString things?
<infinisil> __monty__: dynamically
kisonecat has joined #nixos
<infinisil> Only once the code gets evaluated, the types are checked, so it's not static
<gchristensen> huh?
winem_ has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<Mic92> that's true.
<infinisil> > if true then 1 + 2 else 1 + "foo"
<{^_^}> 3
<__monty__> And what types are there? String, function, list, record?
<infinisil> and a bunch of other primitives
<infinisil> int, float, null
<infinisil> > builtins.typeOf null
<{^_^}> "null"
<gchristensen> how does laziness make it dynamic?
<__monty__> gchristensen: In a statically typed lazy language that wouldn't be legal.
<clever> gchristensen: there are some nixos options that accept true, false, and "relaxed" for example
<gchristensen> so what does it make it?
<__monty__> Dynamically typed : )
<Mic92> gchristensen: you can assign types to function
<Mic92> *cannot
<gchristensen> what would it be if you don't have to use toString?
<clever> __monty__: here is the source behind typeOf, and every string it can return: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/libexpr/primops.cc#L234-L259
<klntsky> How to `sudo` in pure env? See https://pastebin.com/raw/UCNMZ7MH
<infinisil> gchristensen: More weakly typed
<Mic92> the type is determined at runtime
sanscoeur has joined #nixos
<gchristensen> hehe, ok
boredom101 has joined #nixos
<clever> klntsky: use /run/wrappers/bin/sudo
<simpson> Mic92, __monty__: Careful not to conflate Nix's type system, which assigns types to values, with any underlying type theory for Nix, which surely is degenerate.
<{^_^}> [nixpkgs] @WilliButz opened pull request #53997 → grafana: 5.4.2 -> 5.4.3 → https://git.io/fhCSA
<__monty__> Huh, singleton lists and pairs are treated specially?
<infinisil> __monty__: There ain't no pairs in Nix afaik!
<klntsky> clever: clever!
<__monty__> Then what is tList2?
<clever> __monty__: yeah, behind the scenes, all values are a union over a value about 2 pointers long
<clever> __monty__: a [1] stores the value* directly in the first pointer
<clever> __monty__: [1,2] stores 2 value*'s directly there
<clever> and [1,2,3] and larger, store a pointer to the start of the list, and the size of the list
<__monty__> Ah, cool.
<infinisil> Just an implementation detail really
<clever> yeah
<clever> saves a pointer redirection, and allocating a tiny thing on the heap
sigmundv_ has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
<__monty__> simpson: Considering there's no "type theory of nix" doesn't the type system determine the type theory?
<clever> __monty__: another implementation detail, is that all sets, are technically int->value, rather then string->value
<{^_^}> [nixpkgs] @Mic92 merged pull request #53732 → clightning: 0.6.2 -> 0.6.3 → https://git.io/fhZ2N
<{^_^}> [nixpkgs] @Mic92 pushed 2 commits to master: https://git.io/fhC9c
<clever> there is a single global table, that maps the strings to ints
<clever> so all set lookups are based on int
<__monty__> Huh, unexpected.
<__monty__> Kinda surprised that works for nixpkgs without problems. I guess most keys repeat though.
<clever> certain keys like "name" are also pre-allocated early in the nixexpr startup
<clever> and the int behind it is stored into a global variable
<clever> so you can then lookup the "name" of a derivation, without ever doing strcmp("name",foo)
<simpson> __monty__: Eh. Sort of; we might demand that the relationship from the syntactic type system to the semantic type theory is functorial. But that's no problem here; all we're really saying, then, is that Nix's type system has features and restrictions which don't manifest in the type theory. (This dovetails nicely with the observation that Nix's values are only distinctly-typed inside Nix, and not outside Nix
<simpson> in the interpreter.)
<clever> __monty__: and also, all lists require the key/value pairs to be sorted by the key as an int
<Taneb> Plan for tomorrow is to migrate my work's Hydra server onto the fileserver I was setting up today and last week
<__monty__> clever: But they're not array-backed?

<Mic92> __monty__: lists is stored as a c++ vector if that is your question.

olto has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

samrose has joined #nixos
<clever> WhittlesJr: as for why FPU stuff is special in kernel, most of the context-switching in the kernel assumes the FPU is not in use, so it doesnt need to backup and restore the FPU registers (huge) when context switching
<clever> so you need a special function to save&restore it, to not clobber whatever userland proc was using the FPU last
<gchristensen> the current thinking is adding a shim to SPL
<WhittlesJr> That's reassuring, thank you. People have been saying things like "well I'd rather switch OSs than switch file systems" so I got spooked.

I hope everything works out but if I end up having to switch filesystems then that's what I'll do.

<iqubic> Alright, so Discord is demanding that I install its update before it will work for me. FML.
<hyper_ch> Celmor: what do you need custom zfs repo for?
_kwstas has quit [Client Quit]

<hyper_ch> what kind of patches?
<iqubic> is there something I can do about that?
<Celmor> hyper_ch, https://ptpb.pw/PEh1

<hyper_ch> no need for custom repo anymore

<Celmor> so I just don't need tp specify that local repo from the command I listed (remove -I and everything after)?
<iqubic> Why must discord be a pain?
<hyper_ch> Celmor: what nixos version are you on?
<Celmor> I'm simply running the nixos livecd you originally gave me
<Celmor> all I wanted is to add a package
<infinisil> gagbo: I have a separate /home, /nix, /var/lib and /boot
<Celmor> but I guess getting a newer zfs version would be nice too
<hyper_ch> Celmor: you should upgrade :)
<infinisil> (and / of course)
<gchristensen> why use zfs in al ive cd?
<hyper_ch> gchristensen: to install native encrypted root zfs on a new system
<Celmor> because it's using "experimental" features
<gchristensen> you don't need a livecd to get zfsunstable
<gchristensen> erm, you don't need a *custom* one
_kwstas has joined #nixos
<gchristensen> you can edit the standard livecd's config and add zfsUnstable config to it, nixos-rebuild switch, then continue on
<Celmor> I'm by no means familiar with nixos so I figured the easiest way would be to re-use the same livecd/configuration
<hyper_ch> gchristensen: well, I have altered my custom iso quite a bit over time
<hyper_ch> like having sane keyboard input ;)
<hyper_ch> Celmor: should be enough to just nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=customIso.nix

<tilpner> You should probably read things you put in your config :)
<infinisil> gchristensen: Hmm I see, I have this idea of putting some expression into nixpkgs that builds you a Nix of the minimal version, so you can say `(import <nixpkgs> {}).nixMinimal`. This should optimally be compatible with a lot of previous Nix versions
<Dedalo> tilpner: you right, I should have read it. Indeed, do you think is going to save battery life?

<thoughtpolice> It's sort of a weird case. I don't actually have a default.nix, just a shell.nix I use to do some iterative development. So the expression isn't using stdenv.mkDerivation, it uses pkgs.runCommand
gagbo has joined #nixos
<thoughtpolice> So for right now I just have this weird hack that just takes all the buildInputs and writes them to $out/nix-support/propagated-build-inputs to keep things clean
<thoughtpolice> Then `nix path-info -r $(nix-build --no-link shell.nix)` will do the trick. Is there an easier way?

hedning has quit [Quit: hedning]
<thoughtpolice> Interesting.
<thoughtpolice> My intent is basically that I want to put a cache for my shell.nix somewhere
<thoughtpolice> And people can just use the trusted-substituters option at nix-shell time
<thoughtpolice> So it just pulls in the *closure* of things for building, but the actual "environment" is still created by the user
<thoughtpolice> (This is because my shell.nix contains stuff out of tree, so it's to avoid building)
<clever> thoughtpolice: whats wrong with just running a hydra that hosts the result of the full build (and anything hydra had to dl to do so)
<jabranham> In the systemd journal ("journalctl -b -p 3"), I have "systemd-modules-load[534]: Failed to find module 'snd_pcm_oss'". Is this cause for alarm?

<Dedalo> How do I include just this: `https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/common/pc/laptop/cpu-throttling-bug.nix` instead of the whole X1 Carbon hw profile?
<Guanin> jabranham, it might be related to https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#sound.enableossemulation ? At least, snd_pcm_oss seems to be a module that provides OSS emulation
romildo has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<Guanin> jabranham, the module is added here, but it probably just fails? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/release-18.09/nixos/modules/services/audio/alsa.nix#L100
<jabranham> Guanin: so if the module is failing to load, I should probably just go ahead and switch that to false, right?
<Guanin> As far as I know, OSS is only used rarely in applications, so it is probably safe to disable

<gchristensen> yes

<Guanin> jabranham, but it seems like the default kernel config (at least for unstable.linuxPackages_4_20) does not have OSS emulation enabled, so the module is not compiled (as far as I understand)

<Celmor> gchristensen, what's the difference in version?
<Guanin> jabranham, I'd guess, but it would be nice to know whether other have the same problem :)

<kini> OK. I feel like the wording of that comment could be improved, then. How does this sound? "You should not change this unless a Nixos release notes entry explicitly tells you to."

<rfold> Hi, I'm using builtins.listToAttrs, and it seems to add override and overrideDerivation keys to the attrset returned. Is this expected behavior?

<janders223> and I'm an idiot, forgot to update, solved everything
<jasongrossman> ,stateversion
<{^_^}> jasongrossman: Did you mean stateVersion?
<{^_^}> Setting stateVersion to the latest release doesn't upgrade anything and can only break your setup at best. To actually upgrade NixOS see https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#sec-upgrading. If you want to update the stateVersion option regardless, Ctrl-F for "stateVersion" in https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/release-notes.html to see things that need to be manually migrated with the new value.
<jasongrossman> But we still need to change this variable. Look at how often we get the same question: https://logs.nix.samueldr.com/nixos/search?q=stateVersion
<simpson> kini: I suppose that the notes could say "don't change this" or something less ambiguous, but then we'd be in the position of having a rule that people know better than to follow.
<jasongrossman> samueldr: IIRC you had a really good idea about what to rename stateVersion to.
<c00w> dataFormatVersion?
<samueldr> stateEpoch, with numbers unrelated to the version
<c00w> +1 to unrelated numbers.
<samueldr> the idea was 100 so 18.09 is still smaller than 100
<kini> well, all I'm saying is to change it from "you should change this only when ____" to "you should not change this except when ____"; semantically it's the same, but it foregrounds that you usually don't want to be doing it

<jasongrossman> samueldr: Oh, yes. Thanks. I don't know how to do a PR for this. Maybe I should learn how.
<samueldr> I have one opened already
<jasongrossman> samueldr: Oh, fantastic.
<samueldr> (too bad, you should learn how to!)
<jasongrossman> kini: I hear you. I think that's a good idea as well. I don't think it's enough on its own, but the process will decide.
<jasongrossman> samueldr: I need to learn to write derivations. It's on my list. Not at the top of the list, I'm afraid!
