Seems to be going fine and making sense, but I'm wondering if there is a particularly good way to know what sort of machinations are necessary to perform in e.g. the installPhase script.
<dgpratt>
I mean, how did the author of that script discover that Kafka uses GNU grep and that it has to be wrapped in that manner? Trial and error?

The reason I'm trying to set a static IP is because I'm getting unexpected nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf but if someone knows a way I can get rid of them while using DHCP, I'd love to hear it.

whenever i update my system, opengl stuff stops working until i reboot (or maybe just restart X?); I suspect this is due to the loaded version of the nvidia driver and/or some part of X disagreeing with the one that the client apps are using

is there a way to pin that so that it doesn't change until later?

tmciver: to expand on what gchristensen, it sort of does both - if you run it again, it will regenerate hardware-configuration.nix (based on your hardware and currently mounted filesystems), but won't touch your main configuration.nix. So if you're careful about not editing hardware-confguration.nix, you can use it to handle hardware changes
<Gaelan>
dgpratt: Not familiar with the Java infra in particular, but in general Nixpkgs avoids global configuration (like setting JAVA_HOME in your environment, or installing libraries to /usr/lib) in favor of hard coding specific store paths, which makes it possible to have software that depends on multiple versions of Java (and, conversely, means things can't break if your global JAVA_HOME breaks)

In general, you should just be able to add the specific module to your imports

I've just run `nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable ;

So the bash startup checks if the path exists, then updates `NIX_PATH`. Since I created the channel path _after_ logging in, the env var wasn't updated. (But also my funky bash doesn't source the system config.)

yeah what's on your system that's what i understand too, but steam in nixpkgs is chroot
<ashkitten>
anyway at this point (this did not used to be the case) the steam runtime is well maintained and should support every game, with some games possibly needing extra libs which we can provide, if they're badly packaged
<ashkitten>
games built for steamrt 2 (soldier) should not need any extra libs, since they can't load extra libs on any distro regardless

Hello, I've just installed NixOS, with a /home directory from a previous install. How do I source the packages in ~/.nix-profile? The wiki says to source ~/.nix-profile/etc/nix.sh but the ~/.nix-profile/etc/ folder is missing.
<astralbijection>
I've tried removing ~/.nix-profile and executing `nix-env -i <package>` and sourcing from /etc/profile

astralbijection: the majority of the nix dot files in your directory are symlinks to the nix store. nix-env won't really be able to help you there if the nix store is missing. you'd have to take another approach to managing installed apps.
<astralbijection>
Is the nix store the one located in /nix? Because that exists, the symlinks exist, the issue is just that there's no script for adding the symlinks to PATH
<astralbijection>
Other than just manually adding it to path myself in the .zshrc

hi folks, I'm using nix on macOS, and with just a basic shell.nix I'm seeing that clang is swapped out for a much older version installed by nix when I get into a nix shell. Is there a way to tell nix to use the system clang in certain contexts? In particular, this is a rails app and I'm having trouble building extensions when the nix clang is used

Hello people
<ambroisie>
I'm experimenting with using `naersk` on a Rust project using flakes
<ambroisie>
And I've found a problem that I do not know how to solve
<ambroisie>
But `nix run` gives me an error, it seems that it is building `lohr` and `nix run` was expecting the binary to be named `lohr-0.1.0`

cab404[m]: I used your template as a basis for this, so if you happen to know more about this issue I'd love to know
<sterni>
ddellaco_: you need to use a clang from nix, but you can override your current derivation to use a newer clang, I'm not sure if it works as well on macOS, but you *should* be able to use llvmPackages_latest.stdenv instead of the normal stdenv for example which would currently have clang 11
<ddellaco_>
sterni: thanks a lot! Will give that a shot.

has anyone successfully built Fractal (matrix client) on nixos? it's marked as broken. I've gone down the rabbit hole of building master, defining my own libadwaita, it built successfully but can't run it on sway. breaks with some implicit library deps. This was with a development shell.nix based aproach and invoking meson && ninja manually. Trying another approach now - defining default.nix and using nix-build. The
<marin[m]>
problem I'm facing now: olm-sys rust dep defines cmake as a dependency (that's like 2 layers deep). Repo uses ninja & meson, has no CMakeLists files. If I define cmake as a nativeBuildInput, build fails because it tries to find CmakeLists files. Otherwise, olm-sys fails within cargo build, because it doesn't see cmake. Think I'm stalemated

<rmcgibbo[m]>

<_virkony_>
rmcgibbo[m]: I have overlay (self: super: let unstable = import <unstable> { pkgs = self; }; in { mypackage = unstable.mypackage; }) with expectation that I'll be able to cherry-pick package without pulling in all deps
<_virkony_>
but I still see mypackage pulling in nativeBuildInputs from <unstable>
<rmcgibbo[m]>
oh no, it's definitely going to pull in all the deps.
zhaofeng_ircclou is now known as zhaofeng_alt
<rmcgibbo[m]>
that's not going to work nicely as a "cherry-pick", because the graph for unstable.mypackage is the real mypackage from unstable.
<_virkony_>
rmcgibbo[m]: that's something I don't understand. If every package parametrized with pkgs, and I guess pkgs.callPackage will pass in that pkgs, then passing in pkgs into <unstable> should propagate it further
<rmcgibbo[m]>
was there a major refactor of the package between your version of nixpkgs and unstable, by chance?
dbmikus has joined #nixos
<_virkony_>
rmcgibbo[m]: zig 0.6.0 vs 0.7.1 . zls 0.1.0 doesn't like 0.6.0
<rmcgibbo[m]>
a different route, which is more cherry-pick-like is to do
<rmcgibbo[m]>
that will override the src but not override anything else about the build graph, so it won't pull in anything from unstable
Lord_of_Life has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<_virkony_>
rmcgibbo[m]: yeah, I thought about that, but ideally I need to pull other stuff like version and dependencies (if they changed). I thought there is a nice way
<jkachmar>
answering my own question: it was a `nix-daemon` issue; in order for remote builders to work they have to be in the root user's `known_hosts` on the client machine initiating the remote build
<_virkony_>
pinpox: you should be able to test it in REPL, but you'll have to pass all those arguments to that lambda
<pinpox>
_virkony_: I'm wondering if this would not be enough: { imports = map (n: "${./.}/${n}") (builtins.attrNames (builtins.readDir ./.)); }
fendor_ has joined #nixos
<rmcgibbo[m]>
i guess i don't understand exactly what you want to do, _virkony_ . either you only override the `src` attribute and you make a small change, or you override and pull the entire derivation from unstable, in which case you're going to get the exact closure that unstable had. if you want something in between presumably you need to tell nix exactly which attrs to override.
<_virkony_>
pinpox: you might need to convert those strings to paths
<pinpox>
it seems to work, but returns { imports = [ ... ]; }, what I want is an attrset like { module1 = { ..}; module2 = {...}; ... }
fendor has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<rmcgibbo[m]>
i suppose a third option is to `git checkout nixos-20.09 && git cherry-pick <commit> && nix build -f . zig` :P
<_virkony_>
rmcgibbo[m]: from my short exp with nix, I can see that packages represented by something like mypackage = ({pkgs, ...}: mkDerivation { inputs = [ pkgs.mydep ]; }). I.e. it should be movable between channels

if I have mypackage = unstable.mypackage { pkgs = self; }, it should pull self.mydep in my understanding
<philipp[m]2>
Setting `C_INCLUDE_PATH` manually seems to be the answer for me
<rmcgibbo[m]>
_virkony_: i don't think that's precisely right, but i have to run. when you get pkgs.mypackage, it's the _result_ of that function call, not the function call itself.
<rmcgibbo[m]>
i'd play around with callPackage in the nix repl.
<_virkony_>
true, but result of that attr set is actually channel function call with pkgs parameter
<_virkony_>
good idea
