Is there something magical about fetchgit or have I messed something else up. If I change the rev then the unpackPhase no longer clones submodules
<robert`>
Hi there! I am currently trying to debug a haskell package not building with ghcjs (ghcjs-dom-jsffi) it does not build as dependency (cabal version too new or something) - it does build when I check out the sources run cabal2nix and try to build it in the nix-shell. Now I am doing "nix-shell -A haskell.packages.ghcjs.ghcjs-dom-jsffi '<nixpkgs>' --argstr compiler ghcjs" but in the resulting shell no ghcjs is in path - what am I doing
2016-12-22
<hodapp>
perhaps because I ran it in rescue mode, which has temporary disks that change device names later or something like that
<mpickering>
It seems more convenient to me to have a checkout I can easily modify but not sure this is something that people usually do
<rardiol>
is there a command to tell linux to load everything in swap back on ram immediately? or at least something that makes firefox faster when waking from hibernation?
<hodapp>
interesting... so it sounds like with something like "nixos-rebuild switch -p foo" I could maintain, say, a Nouveau configuration alongside my Nvidia configuration
<hodapp>
I guess the next important step in me learning NixOS is that I need to royally screw something up so I have to learn to fix it
<copumpkin>
offlinehacker[m]: okay, I just remembered I'll be traveling tonight but should be able to get you something tomorrow
<ixxie>
I am wondering if there is something like this makeProg in any of the boilerplate
<copumpkin>
or something
<xeviox>
thats why I thought there might be something additional needed
<LnL>
ixxie: not sure what you mean, if you want to put something in the store you need a derivation
<ixxie>
LnL: maybe there is something like callPackage to call a bash script? I don't even know if that makes any sense xD
<viric>
android something?
<RickHull>
purely hypothetical, but again, something I've tackled previously with other tools
2016-12-21
<m3tti>
i've found something mentioning installing haskellPlatform
<LnL>
domenkozar: I really hope that I didn't make a typo or something
<k0001>
Wasn't there a `copyToStore` function or something for explicitely copying some file to the Nix store? I can't recall its name :)
<jasom>
Am I doing something wrong, or is the newest version of the firefox flash plugin really 4 years out of date?
<gchristensen>
(they would show up in the UI as comments on commits, or something)
<gchristensen>
github supported notes back in 2010 or something? and then dropped support in 2011?
<dtzWill>
msd: is the Nix derivation using "isDarwin" when it should be testing something like "isClang" ?
<jophish>
gilligan_: there's something like srcOnly, just a second I'll find it
<LnL>
is there something special about our version?/
<LnL>
gchristensen: and something else that's not very clear to me is what sort of things are ok to backport
<Profpatsch>
ghcjs.nativeGHC or something like that.
<itorres>
hi, something funny is happening in my system
<LnL>
gchristensen: so basically go was doing something "weird"
<ToxicFrog>
While I'm on the topic, *is* unstable what I want if I want something relatively up to date and rolling-release-ish, but not completely untested? Unstable still runs the tests on Hydra, right?
<gchristensen>
niksnut: oh I see... I don't know, then, maybe there should be something mapped to root? I'm out of my real area of knowledge here, I'm just a bit desperate for 16.09 to be back to around 90 failing packages.
<gchristensen>
niksnut: nathan7 says that Go error is: it attempts to make a kuid/kgid using the userns + uid/gid pairs. if that fails, scm_check_creds returns EINVAL. which is weird, it should be able to construct a kuid/kgid for 0/0 inside the userns, as long as *something* is mapped to root. I think there might be something wrong with how we construct the userns. -- is that possible?
<moet>
hmm.. i just did pkill redshift and something restarted it..
<AtnNn>
dubbelosix: yes, you could use something like `(import <nixpkgs> {}).callPackage'
<Rotaerk_>
is there some way to mark a derivation as something that may produce a different result if it's run at a later time? I have one that's fetching files from elsewhere, and if they change, running the derivation again will produce different files
<nathan7>
I think there might be something wrong with how we construct the userns
<nathan7>
gchristensen: which is weird, it should be able to construct a kuid/kgid for 0/0 inside the userns, as long as *something* is mapped to root
<nathan7>
which seems like something weirder is up that we should fix
<avn>
spacekitteh: no idea, may be someone (or even I am) revamp myEnvFun to something more useful
<ToxicFrog>
gchristensen: that said, in general, if you have something to say to/ask me, just do it and I'll fish it out of the logs when next I can.
2016-12-20
<AtnNn>
newdan: I would try something like `nix-env -qa 'python.*2.*6.*'` or `nox python`
<jack[m]>
LRU based on atime or something would probably be good, but I put some precious stuff in there, which is useful in archeology.
<jack[m]>
Hrm. I should move my binary cache to something cheaper.
<copumpkin>
I saw your name when you said something a minute ago
<gchristensen>
like sd* or something
<dtzWill>
oh it looks like let's encrypt, so yeah that shouldn't be a /huge/ deal (compared to a purchsed SSL cert you have to call up or something lol), but I say that as someone who carefully setup his LE certs and hope they don't break lol
<dtzWill>
ToxicFrog: looks like it uses libredirect to convince sublime '/usr/bin/pkexec' is something else
<phorse>
is a collision even something I should avoid?
<dtzWill>
but sounds like maybe sddm.nix should have similar functionality or something too, and an example in the manual O:)
<jazzencat>
That's what I have in the configuration.nix file, but I am obviously missing something or the rebuild wouldn't be throwing me an error.
<dtzWill>
gchristensen: but other than price for something you don't want/need, with switching and such you can probably just not use the dedicated graphics
<dtzWill>
haha I read something somewhere that pointed out how a /slow/ and/or /unreliable/ internet connection was somehow *so much worse* than simply no internet, which I found amusingly accurate
<LnL>
george__: I remember something about rhat
<jazzencat>
Is there something I need to do on NixOS to run a binary?
<dtzWill>
LD_PRELOAD to intercept paths seems quite a bit more difficult than one of those FHSEnv chroot wrappers or something
<joachifm>
as I recall Profpatsch talked about doing something like that a while back
<nekroze>
see with nix the entire dependency tree of a package (as I understand it) contributes to its hash. so while both GHC apps are the same version they may be built with a different compiler version or use a different lib for something
<nekroze>
or something similar
<Rotaerk>
hmm trying something
<msd>
LnL: also it requires gtk2 -- something that isn't really meant for Mac
<Sonarpulse>
copumpkin: clever had something
<MoreTea>
ToxicFrog, you should patch the binary, or use runInFHSChroot or something like that.
<maurer>
gchristensen: I mean, you could do something like what debian developers do, but that'd probably be a step backwards for nixos imo
<ToxicFrog>
Something is wrong with Hydra?
<LnL>
gchristensen: you can just source something as a start
<jsgrant_>
Myrl-saki: Is Valve-sponsered "LunarG" Vulkan SDK is a reference to something I'm missing?
* jsgrant_
wonders if it's worth trying to get NixOS on his RPi for a dedicated HTPC box -- over say just OpenElec or something.
<Myrl-saki>
vulkaninfo works, but if I actually try to do something, it crashes.
<LnL>
same here, I just pull master and if something breaks I revert or just fix it
<LnL>
is our bot dead or something?
<clever>
which may not be something you wanted enabled
<Armael>
sphalerite: what I want is from the reverse persective: how do I build something that uses a portable build system
<sphalerite>
something like that
<srhb>
tommyangelo: Something to add to the bug report. :)
<jsgrant_>
Always something to do. :^)
<jsgrant_>
Sometimes true, but at the time I was only pecking around & wasn't as serious as I am now about learning the envrioment -- so I don't put that much credence beyond that of user-error. Speaking of documentation errors though, still need to check bugglist if there is something on KDE's khelpcenter being borked in plasma5.
<jsgrant_>
Who knows, this was within the first month of using NixOS -- some maybe I did something else absurd in-tangent and forgot about it.
* jsgrant_
wonders if he accidently threw in a flag that extended to "all profiles" or something.
* jsgrant_
hasn't looked into enough to form a view either way; Very possible he was doing something wrong and/or non-ideal.
<Ralith>
do you need a nightly or something?
2016-12-18
<rly>
Well, not really tools, but typically you have already enough problems on your mind when creating something new.
<rly>
tomberek: something which will not be the case with the Nix tooling and learning different tools at the same time is a recipe for disaster.
<rly>
tomberek: I am just saying how I would evaluate it, such that you have the chance to create something that I would find enticing.
<sellout->
gchristensen: Cool. Yeah, I have a MacBook now, but was thinking to try something else. Although … I guess not for any particular reason.
<tomberek>
rly: The other question I had for the larger group is about the distinction/value between disnix and something like Kubernetes?
<LnL>
domenkozar: I think I got something
<LnL>
domenkozar: the haskell mkDerivation doesn't just call cabal build, so maybe there's something we can do
<joepie91>
maybe I'm missing something, but I'm running NixOS with XFCE4 as my desktop environment... and while xfce4-notifyd is *installed*... it isn't actually run?
<LnL>
thought you where talking about something else
<joachifm>
k11`: right. you can define a builder that outputs something that can be used as a Nix value and read the result at eval time
<joachifm>
obadz: there's a problem in general, unless you're referring to something else
<rnhmjoj>
hi, can you help me figure something out with nixOS? I wrote a hook script for redshift to change via DDC the screen brightness. the problem is redshift runs as a systemd user service and starting sudo gives the 'sudo must be owned by uid 0...'
<rly>
I tried to draw something with inkscape recently; I made it crash twice in 30 minutes.
<sphalerite>
Anyone have an idea for something useful I could do with a desktop from 2008 which is in a different country from me 80% of the time?
<sphalerite>
idk if it's planned obsolescence or something like that
<rly>
MichaelRaskin: yes, and for Foo you need to do something else.
<sphalerite>
Just something to stop it from trying to start a pager.
<rly>
jazzencat: someone was lazy and did something impure ;)
<rly>
The KDE people built something anyway, and then they are surprised it doesn't work.
<mitchty>
domenkozar: can you get the gcc/ld invocation? basically it looks the same as trying to link a static archive with something compiled as a shared library with relocations
<ToxicFrog>
I tried that but must have done something wrong :/
<MoreTea>
'morning. I'm playing with makeTest (to create qemu tests) with virtualisation.writableStore = true. It's quite slow! Is this something that is known?
2016-12-17
<rui>
mii seems to have something to do with networking but not wifi either
<rly>
Baughn: at some point you are creating something which is a "StorePath" (IIRC) from probably a std::string "README.md".
<berce>
so not really exotic, just something that was not yet in Nixos
<MichaelRaskin>
You would prefer something lke these Coq-to-prose converters that emit text which is technically speaking in English?
<peti>
Rotaerk: Hmm. I'll have to investigate whether that's a bug or the unfortunate consequence of something I can't remember right now. It's been a long time since I implemented that code.
<MichaelRaskin>
alphor: note that you also have an option of nix-building something, then nix-store --export the result
<rardiol>
MichaelRaskin: ok, I just ran nix-collect-garbage. I wanted to see what is keeping them in, like the opposite nix-store -q --tree, showing what depends on something
<gchristensen>
broken by this change? or something else?
<sphalerite>
Also, is there a way to tag a system generation or something so that it will never get removed by nix-store --gc -d unless its number is specified?
<angerman>
I'm a bit confused, if I have a derivation that depends on something that's not available on my system. And the derivation itself also is marked as not buildable on the current system. Can I somehow filter a list of derivation, such that those that aren't buildable are excluded?
<osa1>
so if I have a derivation in scope and I do something like: mkDerivation { buildPhase = '' ... "${derivation}" ... '' } what happens in that ${derivation} part?
<imode>
so, if I have something like nano that I want to configure.. I have to specify all of that through the nixos config file, right.
<brh_>
Hmm, so something like `nix-build "with (import <nixpkgs {});" default.nix -A hello` ?
<jazzencat>
Hmm, I wonder if my HD is corrupted or something because all of a sudden Enlightenment is screwed up, always starts in offline mode even if I change the mode it switches back, can't write settings files. And then there's all those error messages from the pictures above.
2016-12-16
<jazzencat>
Which isn't all that different from switching from Corel to Adobe or something.
<MichaelRaskin>
Technically speaking, translating the original idea of invention patents to software yields something already covered by the current state of copyright
<clever>
that allows fetching something outside of nix, then adding it to the /nix/store, and getting the hash of it
<mw>
hi, before I file an issue I just wanted to check if I'm missing something and/or doing something noobish...
<jazzencat>
What is a good backup WM to have incase something goes screwy with my main one?
<clever>
LnL: next thing i need is to do something with the default and example values, add a button to populate the left tree, and handle the xml in the description better
<LnL>
yeah bootstrapping is broken on newer versions or something
<rly>
LnL: sure, but it might be that they got a promotional deal or something like that.
<LnL>
viric: it's usually something regional, so if you have some sort of other connection you can use that might help
<mpickering>
is there a way to find out the type of something?
<mpickering>
Something is wrong anyway as "nix-env" loads an environment with ghc-7.10.2
<clever>
LnL: yeah, somethings wrong, it only built ghc, it doesnt depend on anything
<mpickering>
clever: The command completes instantly for me so I suspect something is not quite right
<gchristensen>
mpickering: depends on who you ask I guess. I usually learn something by experimentation first and using it, and then going and reading the whole manual. I know some people who really like to read the whole manual first.
<rly>
gchristensen: I have noticed something weird on this hardware, though. Sometimes I need to run emacs 4 times before it runs.
<aszlig>
what's not working is if you make assumptions about uid 0 being something special
<domenkozar>
something(uid)
<kmicu>
jazzencat: if you need something that is already in Nixpkgs repo, but still not available in channels then you can create an ad–hoc shell e.g. ‘nix-shell -p enlightenment.terminology -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz --command 'terminology'’ gives you the latest available ‘terminology’. No git required.
<rly>
jazzencat: I am thinking of just getting something external.
<jazzencat>
I knew I was missing something simple. Never mind date -s and hwclock --systohc, just update configuration.nix :D
<manveru>
when i have something like `yay = { hi = "foo"; there = "bar"; }` how can i set these in a let scope like `let; with yay; inherit hi there;`
<pie_>
systemd is fine until something breaks.
2016-12-15
<clever>
next thing i should do is something about all of the dead space on the right
<acowley>
Shouldn't a failure to evaluate something like unstable raise a louder alarm or prevent a merge or something?
<clever>
something is reading the crossSystem attribute, when it shouldnt be
<clever>
jazzencat: nixos-rebuild will use the channel called nixos by default, but you can force things with -I nixpkgs=something
<Ralith>
would be nice to see that replaced by sddm or something
<clever>
Baughn: trying something different in vbox first
<domenkozar>
gchristensen: only if something changed
<goibhniu>
axion: what command are you using to isnstall something?
<LnL>
was staging merged in or something?
<mpickering>
If I want to dual boot nixos and something else should I install nixos first and then the something else or does it not matter?
<clever>
randalltux: its probably something weird with the dual-gpu thing then, havent played with that much yet
<LnL>
I should probably also eat something...
<arianvp2_>
so I have a feeling it is a no-op or something
<ixxie>
but for now, I wanna go this route so that we can all configure something usable together
<jazzencat>
I'm beginning to think that the issue is something about my router. connman, wicd and wpa_supplicant all don't work.
<clever>
arianvp2_: and ti make things more stable (things will change if you checkout something else in nixpkgs)
<jazzencat>
So something is missing in my install so far.
<jazzencat>
So something like nix-env -iA nixos-unstable firefox?
<kmicu>
It’s hard to figure out something if you do not have access to it :)
<ixxie>
LnL: I wanna do it the proper way, I am packaging something
<hodapp>
...except for the part where every few months, something goes completely wrong and I have to manually fix an unusable system.
2016-12-14
<mudri>
Havvy: I'm not familiar with Stackage, but I'm under the impression that lts-3.21 is really old. It's at lts-7 or something now.
<LnL>
yeah I think some data got lost or something
<LnL>
gchristensen: kmicu: I think there's something funky going on with that build "Hydra::Model::DB::BuildProducts=HASH(0xb4962b8)"
<Mic92>
clever: what happens if you assign something to system.build.kexec_tarball ?
* Baughn
figures something out with nix-store --gc --print-dead.
<Mic92>
clever: would you find relative partition size useful? something like: bios_grub: 1024k, boot: 300M, root: 100%
<Ralith>
you're certainly better off using musl or something
<kuznero>
Mic92: I will try older resolver (last I tried latest 7.13, now I will try something like 5.13)
<Mic92>
kuznero: nix-shell -p zlib is something not enough
<jazzencat>
So, something in how I have connman set up is the issue.
<clever>
if your not even seeing GRUB, then something is wrong in the bios settings
<jazzencat>
I wonder if installing connman broke something?
<jazzencat>
I'm not missing any partitions that should be there or goofed something else?
<digitalmentat>
just wanted something that already existed :-p
<jazzencat>
Hm, I goofed something. It's not booting to the HD.
<jazzencat>
I have a wired connection so if something goes wrong it should be fixable.
<Mic92>
clever: ah, ok, got the logic - too bad, I wanted something which reloads on configuration change, but restarts on package upgrades.
<jazzencat>
Hm, learn something new: don't use gdisk on MBR system, it adds a GPT and I don't know what the correct offset for my drive is ^,^
<sphalerite>
of course what would be ideal is something that has free wifi drivers and firmware
<clever>
sphalerite: something has been acting up with my internet lately, it takes forever to connect to something
<clever>
let me check my bookmarks, i had something interestign saved
<clever>
i think the reason most distro's disable root login, is because its easyer to guess the login is 'root' then to figure out if its arianvp, clever, Mic92 or something else
<angerman>
which could end up being a no op, if only orthogonal expressions in nixpkgs changed, or a hefty if something fundamental changed.
<Mic92>
gchristensen: I saw something similar for chromium.
<Mic92>
gchristensen: maybe we could change something trivial to force a rebuild of the kernel.
<gchristensen>
something has hung up our update process and it is blocking updates (because the system thinks the update is unsafe)
<fuzzy_id>
found the clue myself: disable split object (or something like that) in default.nix:
<LnL>
I did something similar when I was messing the cmake itself, since that's part of the darwin stdenv
<arianvp2>
I think something is wrong with the directory settings
<jazzencat>
Turns out I had to use dd to zero my HD to get the system working again. Something got really borked along the way.
<ixxie>
angerman: if you write something, I have been planning to make some visual aids for newcomers to Nix
<clever>
so you could have a bare file that doesnt start with { something }:
<LnL>
and for nix-build/nix-shell you can do something similar
<FRidh>
We should just build all python packages on Hydra again so its easier to spot when something is broken
<Cypi>
Why doesn't something like "nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A somepackage -p somepackage" work? The intent is to have a shell with both the depencies of the package and the package itself available
<angerman>
Rotaerk hmm... somethings fishy on my end then :)
<angerman>
so nix-shell by default picks up `default.nix` or `shell.nix` I feel it's `default.nix` however examples I saw seem to imply it's picking up shell.nix by default. Am I missing something?
<sphalerite>
How can I add a derivation to my user environment? i.e. I've built something using nix-build, got the result symlink; is it possible to add that to my profile?
2016-12-13
<jack[m]>
hrm. did the patchShebang start recursing a symlink loop or something.
<digitalmentat>
could an aborted nixos-rebuild switch cause something like that?
<AtnNn>
mpickering: you might do something like `nix-env -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages.fast-tags'
<miniBill>
LnL: I don't use nixos, I just find it nice to have something building the package, but I don't have any hurry
<clever>
gcc is something that recently got moved around though
<gchristensen>
offlinehacker[m]: I'd really appreciate it if you found something :)
<gchristensen>
domenkozar / ikwildrpepper: for some reason, kernel builds are timing out on hydra now. is something going wrong? see the latest build of 4.8, 3.12, 3.14: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/44769425
<gchristensen>
ie: have a composer2nix or something
<aloiscochard>
mmm I see, I thought I was missin something, neat!
<qknight>
i want to use a single package from a different nixpkgs checkout and i totally forgot how to do that. looks something like: hydra = (import <nixpkgs> {}).fetchgit { url,rev,sha }; but i can't recall
<nekroze>
wait did I do something stupid again
<clever>
so tools that cant handle gpt will still say the disk has something
<LnL>
I wonder if fetchTarball was caching something invalid
<LnL>
eacameron: do you have something special in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
<clever>
jazzencat: if you boot the installer ISO in efi mode, you should see something efi related in "mount"
2016-12-12
<newNixos>
like, to start a vm or something big
<viric_>
the adsl router is old or something. no idea
<newNixos>
not because I care so much about nix, but I hate to learn something that becomes useless
<c0bw3b>
notallowed error or something
<clever>
but maybe you have an older something else, what does nix-env -q say?
<clever>
gchristensen: got a min to look at something?
<clever>
ah, 0002 is the pointer, and QJsonObject then tries to this->something, resulting in 000a
<Mic92>
Something I still looking for.
<c0bw3b>
you could still do a --rolback if something goes wrong but yheah.. it's not exactly what you wanted to do in the first place
<schoppenhauer>
hi. currently, whenever I am upgrading, I first run a dry-run to see whether there is anything to upgrade at all, and if so, I upgrade again. I wanted to ask whether there is some flag that only creates a new version of the system directory when there is actually something to update (that is, automating this behavior)
<clever>
ive also started something similar, let me grab the UI first
<Cypi>
I'm unclear with something: if I add the unstable channel, then how does NixOs figure out which channels the packages in environment.systemPackages should be taken from?
2016-12-11
<LnL>
c0bw3b: is there a specific reason to add all the options? is there something currently in nixpkgs that needs those?
<c0bw3b>
LnL: what Vladimir suggested on PR #21029 with variants, is it something like openssl ?
<LnL>
I thing something is trying to use ~$(whoami) instead of using $HOME
<hodapp>
usually upon something like a window resize
<clever>
m`: and every time you remove something with nix-env -e
<m`>
ok, then I'll do it. Didn't actually know that there is a notion of 'user generations' (simlilarly to system generations). Just for curiosity: Does it create a new user gen. every time something is installed via nix-env -i?
<Rotaerk>
are there any functions for mapping sets to sets? something like Set a v -> ((a, v) -> (a, v)) -> Set a v
<clever>
m`: you have an old result symlink in your home directory that is probably holding onto something sizable
<clever>
the issue, is that i'm testing something that involves building 300-400mb tarballs
<sheenobu>
clever, yeah whenever i want to try something new (nes homebrew, custom android stuff) my first steps are to get everything Nix'ed. Having a setup that uses nix to fetch android sources, build a derivation, then convert that derivation to the appropriate images would be great.
<LnL>
clever: nope, I started using this about a month month ago or something
<kmicu>
There is no tooling. As you can see, the common advice if you cannot find something is, ‘just grep the source code’. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
* kmicu
*grumbles* he thought that tagging systems are something natural & familiar from C to Python communities, from Haskell to Lisps crowd.
<clever>
and i think i'm the only person to have reused that module framework to create something that is not nixos
2016-12-10
<Sirolu>
I was wondering if it is possible to do something specific, and if so, how: is it possible to create a Nix derivation which has a local file or folder as its source code?
<sphalerite>
Is there a way to see how much space installing something would take up?
<Mic92>
can somebody download something from cache.nixos.org?
<k11`>
clever: when I doing something with nixos-rebuild it breaks the system
<xwvvvvwx>
Am I just missing something from my build environment?
<xwvvvvwx>
and it did something
<nathan7>
ending up with a dir like vscode-1.2.3 or something
<nathan7>
generally what I do is extract the source to a thing (something like tar xf $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A vscode.src))
<clever>
nathan7: and that reminds me, ec2 doesnt actualy put the public ip on the box, i think they always get a private ip, and something else sort of does 1 to 1 NAT
<clever>
AWS has something similar, after you get an ip via dhcp
<clever>
or is it doing something funny to get the ip's?
<nathan7>
clever: (but the authors don't give a fuck, so I gave up on getting something better merged)
<gchristensen>
zimbatm: something that shows other companies "it isn't so scary"

MichaelRaskin: ok.. i've never had to modify any udev rules in other distros i've used. so i'm wondering am i just missing something trivial which would make this work automatically
<Dezgeg>
because the UEFI implementation itself will probably be loaded from a vendor-specific location from a SD card or something
<MichaelRaskin>
If the entries inside 00?/ are group-writeable and the group is usb or something like that, you can just add you there (and relogin)
<fpletz>
clever: yeah, I checked your code a few weeks, no-os or something? :)
<vandenoever>
i just tried building something but cargo cannot find crate for std
<MichaelRaskin>
We have a rustcNightly something (and a separate binary version); but Nix packages are supposed to have a fixed version, so for true nightly you need to update the expression once a day
<k11`>
because I haven't something like a serial console, there is no way to debug it for me :(
<Cinnamon811rc>
how to change mouse for something?
<clever>
Cinnamon811rc: when i did something similar, i used the source command in grub, to load the nixos grub.conf file from the other grub.conf file

Leo`: `nix-env -i` is ad-hoc ;) When you forget to install something, and want it before next nixos-rebuild
<Leo`>
I mean I only did something as simple as installing ocaml, findlib and batteries (for example) with nix-env, but ocamlfind ocamlc -package batteries still fails to find it.
<avn>
Leo`: I tried only nix. I thinked about something generating .nix from OPAM, but exists solution not looks ideal

My system is not working properly (there was something wrong with udev during boot, and X is all garbled). There seems to be some erros on dmesg. Could someone take a look? And also tell me how to use a pastebin from the CLI?
<dstufft>
if something depends on numpy, it wants to be able to dynamically set install_requires based upont he version of numpy it was built against
<simpson>
FRidh: I'm trying to remember all of the problems that our current system has. Aside from deps, wasn't there something about versions that we needed too?
<FRidh>
that's something new for me. How does pypi get to know them?
<pi3r>
I am probably doing something wrong but I really don't understand what is this error about: http://pastebin.com/raw/PknPDxtq
<FRidh>
I was thinking of doing something like that, although in Python. But I don't know, how many "layers" of IFD can nix handle?
<gchristensen>
mmm probably not actually fetching, probably a HEAD or something to see if it exists
<Rotaerk>
should I basically do something like... let self = ghcpkgs // { myDependencyOverride = callPackage (mkDerivation (/* pull from git */)) }
<eacameron>
So hypothetical scenario. You have a nixops deployment and you lose the state file...how do you recover a situation where you can deploy again? (Presuming you have another way of accessing the machine to add a new key or something
<clever>
the something else can be in-lined with -E
<Rotaerk>
hmm if a default.nix takes parameters, is there some way to run it directly, or does it have to be callPackaged by something else
<LnL>
is that the machine where you test the rebuilds or something?
<LnL>
oh that does something different then I thought, looks pretty strange to use in a normal nix-build
<stepcut_>
How would I package up this library, https://github.com/hercules-team/python-augeas, is there something like cabal2nix I should use? I tried python2nix but it died with some error
<clever>
and now you can copy/paste the contents of the main build hook, and modify it to target something else
<spacekitteh>
clever: aye, but i have to run a preBuild hook and build something in it

ircTest.nix is something generated by cabal2nix; it sets the src to ./.
