clever: I don't know how to make an overlay. I've tried before but they confuse me. Can't I just make an override in a let expression in the same file?
<clever>
selfsymmetric-mu: if you have a clone of nixpkgs, you could just edit xfce4-settings.nix directly and skip the entire overlay system
<clever>
this creates a nixpkgs overlay, that will replace whatever pkgs.xfce is
<selfsymmetric-mu>
Oh I see! Thank you.
<clever>
and that part itself, is then doing another overlay, against all xfce packages
<selfsymmetric-mu>
With that system I don't actually need any files in my `nixpkgs-overlays` path, then?
<clever>
correct
<clever>
nixos will also ignore the nixpkgs-overlays path
<clever>
nixos only obeys the nixpkgs.overlays config option
<selfsymmetric-mu>
Oh it will?
<clever>
only nix-env and nix-build will obey nixpkgs-overlays from $NIX_PATH

I'm attempting to run KDE with xmonad, I believe I've followed the instructions in the manual, however from what I see, X should start automatically, it does not, and when I call systemctl start display-manager.service it fails
<benhart>
unit display-manager.service not found
<clever>
benhart: display-manager.service will only exist if you set services.xserver.enable = true;
<selfsymmetric-mu>
clever: I notice that in your gist, you have `xfce-overlay` in one place and `xfce-overrides` in another. Is that correct or is one of them a typo?
<clever>
selfsymmetric-mu: typo, i renamed it from your example, but missed a place
<benhart>
shouldn't display-manager be lightDM by default?
<selfsymmetric-mu>
clever: Thanks! Just checking.

I'll try setting it to slim and rebuilding...

My custom overrides didn't work because the build gave up on the reapplication of the patch.

selfsymmetric-mu: the "patch" may already be in $src
<selfsymmetric-mu>
clever: Very cool! Thanks for the tip.

The patch is indeed already applied.

Shame, I thought that's what was wrong with my system. I guess part of the bug wasn't fixed by that patch.

after login, xfce restores the monitor layout perfectly

but, if i unplug a monitor while its active, the video driver crashes, very hard
<clever>
i have to go into the xfce settings, and disable that monitor first

Whoa.

You know what, I might be overcomplicating things. I'm just going to turn off sleeping and see if that fixes things.

in a `nix-shell -p go` I get the error `warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT` when I try to `go get -d -u github.com/Merovius/srvfb`. I'm not familiar with go or the go infrastructure, is there someone that knows what's happening?
<aanderse>
yeah the listen default value
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: yes, GOPATH should be somewhere in your home directory, go get will try to write there
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: they have some new infrastructure with gomod
<WilliamHamilton>
yorick so is something like `~/code/go` good for my GOPATH? Should I set it once I enter the `nix-shell -p go`?
<WilliamHamilton>
yorick indeed that works, thanks!
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: yep
<WilliamHamilton>
yorick unrelated question, do you have any trick to invalidate a `nix-shell` cache to force to build the nix-shell from scratch? It doesn't seem to notice the change in local dependencies
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: it absolutely should do that if you restart that
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: what did you change?
<WilliamHamilton>
I swapped a version of a local repository for another one. So I have this `shell.nix` that is referencing an overlay, and I changed the contents of one of the folders referenced in the overlay
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: it fully evaluates everything every time you run nix-shell, so it's unlikely that it's a caching issue

<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: I tried changing the path and it stopped working
<WilliamHamilton>
yorick yes indeed, if you change the path, or if you don't have a default.nix in there it stops working, but interestingly it doesn't seem too interested in what the code is in there
<yorick>
WilliamHamilton: are you sure it should depend on itself?
<WilliamHamilton>
it's autogenerated, apart from that `gomp ? null` bit which I added
<WilliamHamilton>
I don't think it's depending on itself, it's depending on the system `z3` package (the solver, not the library)

WilliamHamilton: you could callPackage it with {z3 = pkgs.z3;}, then?

in the overlay? Should I use self.pkgs or super.pkgs?

well, I used `super.pkgs`, and at least it's doing something different

followup from aveltras question: is there a way to declare channels, instead of using nix-channel?
<benhart>
hey folks, I'm trying to set up xmonad in nixos, and I keep getting an error that haskellPackages is an undefined variable in the below configuration:
<clever>
symphorien: on the first login as root, if ~/.nix-channels doesnt exist, it will register system.defaultChannel as your channel
<clever>
oops, wrong tab-complete, lol
<clever>
asymmetric: but the above wont change channels after you update the cfg

aveltras: so that's a way in which home manager can be installed, i guess
<asymmetric>
not exactly sure how that would work in ~/.config/nixpkgs/configuration.nix though..
<benhart>
lassulus - I'll install something on the box so I can put something on pastebin
<alexarice[m]>
asymmetric: I'm sure I saw something where someone didn't use channels and manually set their NIX_PATH in their configuration
<aveltras>
asymmetric: i'm not even sure i need this, i just wonder why adding "home-manager" to my environment packages wont bring the executable "home-manager" in the shell
<alexarice[m]>
aveltras: I thought that did work
<alexarice[m]>
aveltras: The channel stuff makes it so that `home-manager switch` is ran with `nixos-rebuild switch`
<aveltras>
alexarice[m]: where can i see this ?
<alexarice[m]>
aveltras: see what?
noudle has joined #nixos
<aveltras>
the automated part where home-manager switch would get called when nixos-rebuild switch is
<aveltras>
benhart: indeed, you may try to remove the with pkgs; and just use haskellpackages (without majuscule here)
<benhart>
the with pkgs got it to build, what should i change it to? with haskellPackages?
<alexarice[m]>
benhart: change to 'extraPackages = haskellPackages: [ ... ]'
<alexarice[m]>
and it should work
<aveltras>
try replacing all your "haskellPackages" with "haskellpackages" lines 85-86-87 since that's the name of the argument
<aveltras>
or ye, rename the argument
<alexarice[m]>
or that
<alexarice[m]>
one or the other
<alexarice[m]>
not both

Or just remove the extraPackages option, since it's entirely redundant here.
<aveltras>
so many possibilites :)
<alexarice[m]>
yh all those packages are being added anyway

In the `installPhase` of a nix derivation I need to run a file as root

for example, should I use `nix-shell -p go` or `nix-shell -p go_bootstrap`, or other versions/

Hello there. I want to install nixos on my acer swift 1. I downloaded the iso and dd'ed it to a usb flash drive. Upon boot the cursor appears on the top left and then the laptop freezes. Any ideas how to solve/debug this? The laptop is using UEFI.
<alexarice[m]>
cxx_newb: do you have anything else you can test the iso on?

yeah, I will come back with results in 5 min.

alexarice[m] hey. I tried most of the nixos releases and the 17.03 version is booting fine. My wifi device does not show up in ip a however. I checked on ubuntu which driver the card is using. It is iwlwifi. I tried loading it in nixos live with modprobe iwlwifi but the device does not show up. I do not have a network cable port so I need the wifi
<cxx_newb>
to work. Do you have any idea how that might be possible? thx in advance
<ottidmes>
any idea why grub tries to install x86_64-efi even though efiSupport = false; and other than the timeout and some extraEntries for shutdown/reboot only the device attribute is set
<ottidmes>
samueldr: thanks, that at least shows me where things go wrong, since I now saw the following: pkgs.grub2.grubTarget
<ottidmes>
samueldr: "x86_64-efi"
<ottidmes>
found the problem :) in one of my overlays I added efiSupport...
<ottidmes>
samueldr: thanks for the help!
<ottidmes>
samueldr++
<{^_^}>
samueldr's karma got increased to 95
<samueldr>
oh, I shyed away from proposing "maybe an overlay overrid the package" :)
<samueldr>
though, a bit surprising how this is decided by the package's overrides
<samueldr>
I would have assumed the configuration would check if the package provides whatever is necessary, and not try to override and maybe use that anyway
karetsu has quit [Quit: WeeChat 2.4]
<ottidmes>
(I remember why I added that to my overlay, I needed some of the files produced by having efiSupport = true to generate an image file, but unfortunately NixOS does not allow this, its either BIOS or EFI, you cannot have the EFI files without using EFI)

Hi, I'm nixos 19.03 and am trying to change `services.xserver.libinput.scrollButton` to 0. After `nixos-rebuild swap` and a reboot there doesn't appear to be any effect. There is also no mention of 'Option "ScrollButton"` in `/etc/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf` as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/a260b3d681164bedaeb90fd578390147799

I also have some weird behavior with Brave and Chrome where it will just lock up for no reason and requires a `pkill` to reset it. I think it's a graphical bug.
