How can i write a NixOS module whose option is an attrset of attrset; then in the _config_ portion of the module; i want to set a new key-value in each value
<cole-h>
The problem exists in your Nix configuration

cole-h: how would you recommend that i troubleshoot this, should i remove the .emacs that's appended to the import, or try to find what is causing the collision, and i hope colemickens comes back, he helped me set this up.
blueberrypie has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<cole-h>
I already told you what is causing the collision -- you have both emacs and emacsWithPackages in your packages somewhere.

cole-h: ok, i see emacs in the import: `((import

Yes

cole-h: would you recommend that i remove the appended .emacs of the import? i don't know why colemickens recommended that.
<fzakaria>
infinisil: I have a module with secrets encrypted; i was wondering if as part of the setup for the module; i can assign a key to the sub-type of it's value decrypted.
<fzakaria>
(if that made sense)
<zeta_0>
cole-h: or i could substitute emacs with emacsWithPackages.
<cole-h>
I'd recommend removing anything you don't understand :)

But the reason he probably recommended that is so you can get emacs from your nixpkgs checkout. If you're using emacs-overlay, that sounds useless.

<cole-h>
Well, yeah, you don't want to do that
<cole-h>
Because nixpkgs isn't a package
<cole-h>
That's probably your problem
<cole-h>
Remove that line
<colemickens>
...
<colemickens>
the package was supposed to be on the end of it
<colemickens>
sorry, I had to duck out and apparently have to duck out again, I'll be around tomorrow zeta_0 if cole-h doesn't get you squared away, sorry for disappearing on you
<cole-h>
colemickens: (I had them remove that because they're using emacs-overlay's emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage)
<zeta_0>
colemickens: ok, i understand, i think i'm almost there, bit this import code is causing me problems.
<colemickens>
cole-h: the point was never to use emacs though
<colemickens>
they're trying to just pull one package from another nixpkgs checkout on disk
<cole-h>
Oh
<cole-h>
lmao
<cole-h>
zeta_0: OK, so put that line back, but add the actual package you want, not emacs
<euank>
It will be cleaner to bind that import to something with a let though, and it'll let it be evaluated less often I think.
domogled has quit [Quit: domogled]
<cole-h>
We can try that after we get this working :)
<euank>
so instead of having any `(import "/some/path" {}).package` in your package list, up where you have `let unstable = import <unstable> {};` ...
<cole-h>
No need to add more complexity when even this much is somewhat problematic.
<zeta_0>
cole-h: i changed it to: `((import "/home/zeta/nixpkgs" {}).packet-tracer)` (i'm not sure if that's the correct package name though, for packet tracer!)
<euank>
You could add `myNixpkgs = import "/path" {};` and use `myNixpkgs.pkgName` in the list itself
<cole-h>
zeta_0: Whatever is on the left side of the equals in `.... = callPackage ./.../packettracer/default.nix {}`
<euank>
Yup, agreed on getting it working first, just a tip to save some parentheses

<euank>
That sounds like `callPackage` didn't have `qt56` scope to pass to it. It should be using the callPackage from that nixpkgs, so that nixpkgs is just a broken repo I guess
nixbitcoin has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<euank>
It ended up not being quite right. You could try patching it up more (i.e. bump the qt version or such), or you could check out the old nixpkgs commit exactly which will have that qt version

h0m1 has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
<euank>
but may be bad for some other reason (the rest of nixpkgs there being a couple years old)
<euank>
Presumably, in your repo it's not. I'd probably just try bumping the qt version to whatever it is in your nixpkgs commit and see if that works
<zeta_0>
i can't be spending all day on this, i already have virtualbox setup, so i can install ubuntu on it, and then install packet-tracer from there.
<euank>
It'll help to have a quicker way to test it than doing a full home-manager rebuild. If you run `nix-build /home/zeta/nixpkgs/default.nix -A pkgs.packettracer`, that should show you that error and let you iterate a bit more quickly on fixing stuff.
<zeta_0>
ok i did that and its still missing qt56
<zeta_0>
where do i go from here?
<euank>
What cole said makes sense; try changing qt56 to qt5 in the two places it shows up in the package, see if that works
<euank>
You can also look at the list of attribute names in `pkgs/top-level/all-package.nix` to figure out what qt versions are available in your patched up nixpkgs
<cole-h>
qt5 qt512 qt514 qt5Full qt5ct
doublex has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<cole-h>
Those are all the qt5* attrs available
<euank>
Did zeta push their nixpkgs commit somewhere?
<zeta_0>
the error message says it's here: `/home/zeta/nixpkgs/lib/customisation.nix:69:16` so i'll change the version in that path.
<cole-h>
No
<cole-h>
zeta_0: No
<cole-h>
It doesn't exist in there
<zeta_0>
well tell me where to go, and i'll go there and change it, also what what qt version do you recommend that i use?
<euank>
By 'two places it shows up in the package..' I meant 'in pkgs/.../packettracer/default.nix', whatever that full path is
<cole-h>
The only thing that has to do with it, is that's how nixpkgs lets you override packages with e.g. overrideAttrs
<cole-h>
zeta_0: I just ddi
<cole-h>
zeta_0: Change qt56 to qt5 in the packettracer derivation
<zeta_0>
ok i'll look now, sorry for the misunderstanding !
<euank>
No worries, nix definitely can spit out some non-obvious / unintuitive errors
<euank>
zeta_0: allowUnfree is a per-nixpkgs configuration, which can be configured on import. In all likelyhood you just need to tweak it for that one repo
nixy has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<euank>
so where you've got right now `import "/home/zeta/nixpkgs" {}`, you probably want `import "/home/zeta/nixpkgs" { config = { allowUnfree = true; }; }`
<euank>
to allow it for that import specifically. Turning it on for another nixpkgs import won't affect that one since you're passing a default config (import ... {}) to it

<cole-h>
zeta_0: Then follow the instructions? There's nothing we can help you with, there.
<euank>
toothbrush: looks like it requires some changes for the display manager too. I'm not really sure the best way to patch that in locally
<euank>
I think you could do something like `let experimentalPRNixpkgs = (import builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/..../archive/$commit.tar.gz" {});`, and then ....
<toothbrush>
euank: ah, ok. maybe it's best to wait for that PR to be merged? Am i right in understanding that if i'm following channel 20.09, i'm basically tracking master?
<euank>
I've definitely done something like that before to replace a nixos module with a patched one. I'd be a little wary of doing it if the nixpkgs versions differ enough though.
<euank>
Is 20.09 the same as nixos-unstable?
<toothbrush>
I _think_ so?
<zeta_0>
euank, cole-h: ciscos's website does not have packet-tracer 7.1 anymore, would it be hard to update the packettracer.nix file to use packet-tracer version 7.3 ?
<euank>
Unstable's close enough to tracking master. It waits for a hydra build for it too before it promotes
<toothbrush>
okay so probably i'll just live with the brokenness for a bit then :)
<toothbrush>
since we're on the topic, i've noticed that my screen goes black after a few minutes. how would i make it just stay on until i tell it otherwise? I've seen internet forums mention "xset s" and other invocations, but that doesn't feel nixos-y?
<drakonis>
21.09 not out yet?
<euank>
What I said above should work; since you're not that far from the current nixpkgs modules, it's not that scary to do and it would probably just work
<zeta_0>
to be more specific, it uses packet-tracer version 7.3.1
<euank>
But waiting works too, totally up to you
<toothbrush>
euank: i guess if it fails i can try the famous rollback!
<euank>
I mean, in all probability any failure will be _before_ it activates, so you won't even have to. If it blows up, I'd expect it to be "this nixos module field was renamed"
<cole-h>
,tias zeta_0
<{^_^}>
zeta_0: Try it and see! (then tell us what you saw)
<euank>

<drakonis>

<cole-h>
drakonis: ZHF starts this week, beta starts next week
<cole-h>
(Tentatively)
<zeta_0>
euank, cole-h: in the packettracer directory, do i just need to change default.nix, or do i need to change the build.sh file as well?
<euank>
Now that I think about it, that's a less fragile way to try a PR than my previous "just disable/import a few specific modules" approach, even if both probably work in this case
<cole-h>
zeta_0: I would suggest you try it yourself, and if one isn't sufficient, try the other :)
<zeta_0>
ok
<toothbrush>
euank: wouldn't that roll back all my other packages to the state whenever that PR branch was created off master?
<euank>
Yup, indeed, unless you rebased the PR locally

yeah i could do that too probably

thanks
<GolDDranks>
So, I'm not quite sure how Nix works here. I read in the documentation that it tries to search the hashes of the dependencies from the result?
<GolDDranks>
It thinks that the two deps are runtime dependencies, which means that their hash is contained somewhere in the result, right?
<Ke>
GolDDranks: try nix why-depends
<V>
GolDDranks: when Nix builds a package, it scans through all files produced and marks packages it finds references to as runtime deps

So it automatically knows what runtime dependencies a package has

GolDDranks: you can just grep inside the binaries

Not sure if this is the best place to ask. I'm trying to get Ansible + some Linode module for Ansible working from within a Nix-Shell on macOS. I can get a shell with both the correct Linode API python module and Ansible installed (as a python module also). For some reason the Ansible executable "can't see" the Linode API python module.
zupo has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<bradparker>
I also tried creating a "python with packages" containing the Linode module and then using `.override` to set it as the "top level" Ansible executable's python3. But then the executable uses a different (newer) python version than the one I supplied anyway.
GolDDranks has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

In that shell I can happily run ansible and I can also write python scripts that import "linode_api4". But ansible fails to look up "linode_api4"

chasing down the #! in `/nix/store/.../bin/.ansible-wrapped` and the python wrapped by `$(which python)` in that shell do both give me the same thing. There are something like 3 layers of wrapper scripts here you can poke through to see what PYTHONPATH is being set for various things.

New to nixos. What is the command to fetch and install a specific revision of nixpkgs? I see `nix-channel --add URL` and `nix-channel --update` but I want something like `nix-channel --fetch URL HASH`.

<immae>
zeta_0: adding libvirtd to groups won’t solve your issue I think
<zecnate>
The reason I want this is because I'm experimenting with using a nixos docker image to set up a reproducible build for my project, so I need to "pin" the specific revision of nixpkgs used inside the docker file. `nix-channel --update` would not be reproducible.
<zecnate>
Is there a general guide for this use case of using Nix for reproducible builds?
<zeta_0>
immae: do i need to place it into extraGroups option of my user?
<immae>
yes
<immae>
Did you restart after enabling the kernelModules ?
<zecnate>
I'm attempting to explore nixos with `docker run -ti nixos/nix` and struggling.

First issue: `nix-channel --help` gives some error about `man nix-channel` failing. So I tried `nix-env -i man` but that didn't work. (I'm kind of fumbling blindly here.)

(imo everything in that state directory should be stuffed into the database, but that's a Big Opinion for later on the app side)
<Ke>
then you need static user
<Graypup_>
coolio so I just make up an id >399 since nix promises not to eat those?
<immae>
zecnate: I’m trying to understand your situation, first are you using nix or are you on the nixos operating system?
<zeta_0>
immae: it says it's having trouble finding the default kvm, i have both amd-kvm and intel-kvm setup, so maybe that's what's confusing it, since it worked out of the box for you, what are the exact steps that you did?
<Ke>
in my opinion using dynamic users is best practice when possible, ie. no persistent state needed etc.
<Ke>
ie. when you could just run as nobody/nogroup
<immae>
zeta_0: ah I don’t have amd-kvm in my list, so maybe that’s why?
<Graypup_>
I so so so want no persistent state haha it's just a question of getting approval to put the time into making it so
<immae>
it didn’t have a way to get confused
<zeta_0>
immae: ok, i'll remove it and check to see if that fixes it.
<zecnate>
@immae: I'm running the `nixos/nix` docker container, which I assume is a standard nixos setup.
<zecnate>
Ok, is there a reliable nixos docker container image?
<Graypup_>
afaik no, but unsure. I think the way it works is that people build containers on their host systems and deploy them
<immae>
I could build you one, but I don’t know if there are "public" ones
<zecnate>
@graypup_ Thanks! I am not running nixos, though, so I can't use that derivation. Is there an image published on docker hub?
<Graypup_>
zecnate, hm interesting because I'm not either haha
<immae>
zecnate: you can install nix on non-nixos system
<Graypup_>
and it defo builds on my computer
<zecnate>
@immae I've done that in the past. For this project that doesn't fit the requirements.
<Graypup_>
which is, by the way, arch linux, on WSL2 on Windows ;-)
<immae>
zecnate: well that would let you build a nixos docker container and then you can throw away nix if you want
thc202 has joined #nixos
<zecnate>
The requirements are: the users have docker, and they are unwilling to install nix. They can use docker to create a reproducible build of the project.
<Graypup_>
ah, well you don't need nixos for that?

[nixpkgs] @jonringer opened pull request #97432 → allegro: fix build, use texinfo6_5 → https://git.io/JUnc2
<immae>
so if you install nix on your debian-or-arch-or-whatever system then you can build docker containers like you want
<zecnate>
@immae: as I said, a requirement is that users don't need to install nix.
<immae>
yes but you can prepare them a docker image
<dramforever>
as in, not manually but okay if something came with nix, or just no nix at all
captn3m0 has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<dramforever>
which one do you mean by 'unwilling to install nix'?
<zecnate>
Ok, so I could install Nix on my own system to generate a project-specific docker image with nixos on it, then distribute that to my users, who then use that docker image to run nix-build to build the software…
<immae>
yes
<Graypup_>
zecnate, yeah you've definitely got a good case for a container-with-nix-in-it
<zecnate>
I think the main difference between me generating my own docker image and "an official one" is simply that there would hopefully be more eyes on the official one to fix bugs, catch security issues, etc…
<zecnate>
Anyway, I do think that approach where I distribute my own docker image is feasible, it's just another layer I wasn't anticipating.
<zecnate>
@Graypup_ good to hear it makes sense to Nix people.
<zecnate>
How do Nixers refer to themselves, btw? Nixies?
<zecnate>
If the use case seems baroque or weird to you, wait until you see what I'm trying to replace. :-)

The system I'm trying to replace is hand-woven out of posix-compliant makefiles which track dependencies by hash, fetch tarballs, build, etc… Then for reproducible builds, users have to run a blessed vm image, so there's a severe bootstrapping problem.
euandreh has joined #nixos

holy crap they reimplemented a nix-like in make

<zecnate>
Ok, next step on this project would be to learn about building docker images from nix. I'm wondering if it'll be easier to get running with Nix on debian or if I should install nixos on an lxc container. I think I may prefer the latter.
<Graypup_>
nixos and nix are totally different things :)
<zecnate>
Does anyone have a feel for what the most popular installation of Nix itself is? Is it mostly nixos users or is it actually Nix-on-debian or something like that?

nixos is "what if operating system but nix", and nix is a really sweet build tool

I understand that, but what's most important for me is to be in the largest user base (so that docs tend to match my case, bugs tend to get ironed out quicker, etc…).
<zeta_0>
immae: i think libvirtd was working the whole time, i'm guessing it was because by default virt-manager tries searching for a remote ssh connect, but after chaning the option to qemu/kvm user session, virt-manager now seems to work out-of-the-box !
wfranzini has joined #nixos
<zeta_0>
immae: thanks for the troubleshooting tips !
<immae>
oh
spacefrogg has joined #nixos
<Graypup_>
you absolutely can just run it in debian and it's probably going to be easier. the commands are the same, the outputs are the same. it's just a q of whether your system config is being managed by nix or not
<immae>
so only the client was buggy?
<zecnate>
Thanks for the feedback. Ttyl.
<dramforever>
zecnate: Given that 'just Nix' is a strict subset of 'NixOS', I think you can go with the former
<Graypup_>
^
<zecnate>
Oh wait, is there a guide/readme/howto for generating docker images with nix?
wfranzini has quit [Client Quit]
<dramforever>
And NixOS is definitely *not just* Nix but it's a whole system
<dramforever>
it also handles system configuration
<dramforever>
So it means there's actually a middle option: Nix in a container
<Graypup_>
i read the section in the nixpkgs manual, then gave up and searched the entirety of github for examples
<zeta_0>
immae: ya, i think it was virt-manager's default setting that was the problem.
<zecnate>
@graypup_ the only time I've run nix was on debian and I recall hitting two or so blockers in setting it up. Next time if I encounter them again I'll file doc patches or at least tickets.
<Graypup_>
also, as someone who literally just started using nixos today for a deployment it is incredibly nice and easy (but I came out of writing project scaffolding with nix so I more or less understand how it works)
<immae>
zecnate: Grahamc blog post might be a little more advanced than what you want to do now :)

Since it includes the whole toolchain, there are quite a few binaries to patch, and I'm not even sure how to, since it comes with a weird self-extracting java installer

Does NixOS has support for quotas? I can't find hardly anything
<simpson>
GolDDranks: There's some support for the xfs_quota subsystem specific to XFS, but not the Linux quota subsystem, which is what I assume you want.
<simpson>
(I searched "quota" in the manual using $(man configuration.nix))
<Ke>
looking at ubuntu tutorial, things like that should just work in nixos
<Ke>
simpson: not sure how ambitious are you, but in general you absolutely can not use nixos based on just nixos docs anyway, so it's better to not provide docs for distro independent parts, unless you make them so good other distro users will use them
<GolDDranks>
My filesystem options are autogenerated at the moment, can I specify just the options bit in the configuration.nix?
<Ke>
I mostly use archlinux docs for nixos, since that's what google often gives you for generic desktop topics
<GolDDranks>
Or should I move the relevant filesystem to configuration.nix in totality
<Ke>
GolDDranks: the options are probably merged, but you can just edit the options there
<Ke>
GolDDranks: just do not generate new configs again
<simpson>
I would generally expect that a subsystem which typically has special users created, has special files configured, needs kernel modules, etc. might need some supporting distro-level configuration.
<Ke>
I don't even use hardware-configuration.nix, it's in no way mandatory
<Ke>
maybe
<judson>
Is there a docbug about buildGoModule? I'm trying to set modSha256, but I get an error about "missing vendorSha256"
<cole-h>
modSha256 is deprecated (or even removed) in favor of vendorSha256, IIRC
<Ke>
I am not sure it does?
<Ke>
I did not find anything nixos could do for quotas on a quick glance
<infinisil>
Damnit cole-h, stop finding mistakes in my commit messages! :P
<cole-h>

GolDDranks: just in case, you do know, what config merging means?

<GolDDranks>
Not sure entirely sure! I could think two ways
neeasade has joined #nixos
<Ke>
GolDDranks: it means that if you have some imports, things like lists that are present in both are frequently concatenated to produce the end result
<Ke>
you also have things like mkDefault and mkForce that allow you to change this behaviour, I believe
<GolDDranks>
I see, merging sets makes pretty much sense but concatenating lists can be confusing

energizer: Check out pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix, the functions toPythonModule and hasPythonModule
<infinisil>
energizer: Adding `pendulum = self.toPythonModule (nixpkgs-unstable ...)` at least makes it attempt to build pendulum from there
<infinisil>
Note how `hasPythonModule` checks for `drv.pythonModule == python`, meaning it requires it to be instantiated with the exact same python version for it to be considered "having a python module"
<infinisil>
By using `toPythonModule` this gets kind of overwritten
<infinisil>
I suspect you probably need to use an overlay/override to make nixpkgs-unstable build pendulum with the python version of stable

I'm on archlinux and hope to manage my ~ with home-manager..

Now I've created a new user just to test it out.
<nij>
I have nix installed from AUR, and home-manager installed from nix.. what should I do next?
<afreak>
nij: home-manager readme tells u next step, doesnt it?
<nij>
It does, so I added =htop= following it.
<nij>
Now it is in the nix store.
<afreak>
u should also let home-manager manage ur shell rc file, like bashrc if using bash, then u can just say fzf.enableBashIntegratein = true, and it just works, which is nice
<nij>
My new user also needs to be able to `sudo`, right?

it doesnt need sudo to use home-manager
