Hey I'm running into a problem. Basically I want to have a Darwin nix installer tarball that uses /opt/nix instead of /nix. So I installed Nix from source with custom localstatedir and store dir. And then when it finished installing, I ran `nix-build release.nix -A binaryTarball.x86_64-darwin --arg nixpkgs 'fetchTarball channel:nixos-20.03'` to
<nickeraqua>
make the installer package. It compiles OK but unfortunatly when installing the package on a new Mac, it gives me error: path /opt/nix/060....03r-gmp-6.2.0 is not in the Nix store. But it actually is in the Nix store. I am doing this on Nix 2.3.6. Help appreciated.

Is there a reason `networking.hosts` maps ip to hostname, instead of hostname to ip? It makes it very difficult to work with. I can't override the ip for a hostname, and I cannot easily get the ip address corresponding to a hostname. I ended up implementing my own `networking.saneHosts` option, because the existing `networking.hosts` isn't very workable.

infinisil, I guess, how do I import a library function to use in an overlay that itself requires access to nixpkgs if not by putting it by an overlay itself (which makes it hard to find its source)?

So after struggling with sc3plugins yesterday; to me it seems like there is no way to just have sc3plugins built via nix and symlinked to the `Platform.userExtensionsDir`
<asheshambasta>
Even manual symlinking fails at the moment; I believe the solution could be to add an overlay for supercollider that has supercollider pre-installed with these extensions.

I've not been able to get any sound from my Soundblaster z using headphones on NixOs 20.03. Even though I've got the correct soundcard as default, nothing is muted in alsamixer and i've diabled pulseaudio. My card is not on the list of supported cards on alsa-project-org so I'm guessing it's missing proper drivers. I found a possible solution here:
<freezeboy>
LHurttila hum is it the original driver already packaged ?

freezeboy not as far as I know. This is the link to the patch on the reddit post:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VvkQg8LLpbFs2GS1kApj3GLaDP7QdsEY.
<freezeboy>
the problem is this is not a real patch, it is an isolated c file ... I don't know what to replace with it

freezeboy I read from another thread that it need to be compiled first but still I hve no idea how I would apply it after that
<freezeboy>
LHurttila yes ... it is a strange fix
<lhurttila>
the way I understoofd it was that it needs to be compiled, turned to a nix package and then patched to the kernel with boot.kernelPatches somehow
<lhurttila>
Problem is that there's no other linux driver for this soundcard and it's not in alsa either

<freezeboy>
yes here the "patch" is not really precise, usually it is a file containing only the changed lines and a reference to the file to change, the kernelPatches options is taking such files
<lhurttila>
freezeboy ok so patching is a wrong term to begin with. How do I install that?

I'm trying to setup php-fpm on a nixos server but I can't find a way to reference the `services.phpfpm.pools.default.socket` option. I'm always getting an error telling me the attribute is missing. Here's what I tried: http://dpaste.com/36PHJ29

Now I wanted to add curl, and I've done this by adding `curl` to line 1, inside the curly braces, and by adding a new line `buildDepends = [ curl ]`. Now I wonder: why do I have to list curl twice? It didn't work by just adding buildDepends.

<tshaffe1>
Is there a way to get Nix to ignore ENOENT when changing permissions? I have a store dir on AFS, and builds keep failing because of the disappearing .__afs* files
<romildo>
evanjs, I think later nix-icons can be made an attribute of nixos-artkwork package set. At the moment the only attribute is wallpapers. It should be updated too as it is using a revision from 2017.
<tshaffe1>
evanjs where would I make that change? It's happening within a nix-build command, is there a script somewhere that defines the post-installation fixup?
<AWizzArd>
Now I wanted to add curl, and I've done this by adding `curl` to line 1, inside the curly braces, and by adding a new line `buildDepends = [ curl ]`. But when I start this in a nix shell there is no curl available: `nix-shell --pure -A env release.nix`

It is a haskell package, and I think by setting the derivations underlying build process to "jailbreak = true" it will build successfully. `diagrams-builder.override ({ jailbreak = true; })` returns `called with unexpected argument 'jailbreak'` though because it's not the underlying Haskell package.
