<balsoft>
That sounds like something RMS would hate... Non-free version of libreboot, built by an non-GPL-licensed toolchain...
<ldlework>
clever: can you try something for me real quick? can you install "sunvox" and tell me if it crashes on open (if you're running unstable)
<clever>
awepfijas: but if you do `nixops modify -d name foo.nix -I nixpkgs=something`, it gets saved into the nixops state file, and will affect all future deployments
<clever>
awepfijas: currently, that includes an `import <nixpkgs>`, so you would need to `-I nixpkgs=something`

Hi. Is something wrong with the sshd service? I've added a RSA public key to my users.users.<my username>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys entry (generated by putty on windows) but when I try to login it refuses the key. I'm using the correct private key file in putty, though...

mpiechotka: 4 minutes, 49 seconds ago <pie_> we also have infrastructure for testing stuff in a VM / qemu, so you dont hav eto reboot for everytihng (helps if you have good performance though).

emily: I am not willing to accept "nobody wants to write docbook" anymore. The reason why *I* have not contributed much of anything to the docs is because, frankly, I'm not sure what's missing that I'm supposed to be able to provide. That is, the docs are sufficiently complete that I don't have the experience of needing to add something.

If you're updating a package file in nixpkgs that starts with something like `{ stdenv, cmake }:`, use `nix-build -A the-package-attribute` in the nixpkgs root with the corresponding package attribute to build it.

one other useful WM compositing thing is thumbnail view, basically picture-in-picture for arbitrary windows. It can be kinda nice if you want to keep an eye on something (like maybe just to see that there's still new output in a terminal) but you don't need to see the whole thing on your screen

bqv: where's the action for your bqv-flakes branch of home-manager? I want to add home-manager to my config but I don't really wanna have to use a special branch or fork. Are the flake changes required to make use of home-manager as a flake.nix input, or is it just convenience stuff that allow you to refer to flakes inside your home-manager config or something?
<colemickens>
I had to also delete stale socket files or something like that
<pxc>
colemickens: yep. A friend of mine did that same thing but killed the cli-tools-started agent ungracefully (like I told him not to, lol) and something weird happened with the file descriptors gpg-agent opens and long story short, we couldn't start either gpg-agent anymore after that

I'm wondering if there's something equivalent here or not really
<kyren>
Are melpa updates regularly backported to stable releases? Is that something that I could potentially help make happen?

what I'm wondering though is if I'm using flakes instead of channels for my local NixOS configuration, how do I refer to whatever copy of Nixpkgs my NixOS configuration does, if I want to just directly run a bit of Nix via like nix-instantiate --eval to count how many things I have in systemPackages, or something like that?
<eadwu[m]>
The file in `nix-packaging` can already be evaluated without any changes so it should build fine (which doesn't because it doesn't create a bin output but that's a problem originating from morph) while runtime would use <nixpkgs> unless I'm getting something wrong

I would say that gerbilPackages-unstable or something like that should probably be enough to have just gerbil-utils enough
<Raito_Bezarius>

clever: yes, i was thinking of a higher layer of abstraction, as in: Is it possible to do something like: nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A some.path.kexec_tarball -I nixos-config=./conf.nix and get a tarball as a build product?
<clever>
bgamari: it sounds like something modified /nix/store after a build was done
<Raito_Bezarius>
that $src does not exist or something like this
<euank>
If you start with a tarball, doing something like fetchurl and overriding the unpack phase to `tar -C $out` can be handy to avoid having to write the files twice at least
<niso>
balsoft: agree, something as simple as pinning a repo is way too difficult right nwo
<balsoft>
However, each time you type something like /home/you/nixpkgs in nix (as opposed to "/home/you/nixpkgs") it's a path and not a string. If you convert that path to a string, it becomes "string with context" and copies your path (/home/your/nixpkgs) to nix store, also adding that store path to your container's closure.
<the_pumpkin_man[>
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to write Nix expressions, I already had a look at the Nix manual and to Nixpkgs manual. Now, how do you package something ? Like how do you figure out dependencies, test the expression, etc ?

hyper_ch: also, generally on desktop linux as soon as you copy something from pass output to paste into your super secure ssh terminal or whatever, your browser could easily read it from the clipboard and exfiltrate it to a malicious server, so if you're this worried about your browser process getting access to your passwords then just avoiding autofill extensions is not nearly enough

I'm trying to enter the nix-shell for a Haskell library I'm working with that has a tiny dependency list (base, text, and hspec), but for some reason it seems to be recompiling a mountain of packages as well as GHC.

I kinda have a question (I'm new to NixOS, but not to Linux): I've installed NixOS, but I made a typo in the configuration file fileSystems."/boot". I fixed it and mounted it manually again, but whenever I try to run 'nixos-rebuild switch`, grub-install complains about /boot not being a efi partition and '/boot/' is unmounted once again. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to prevent the unmounting of '/boot' while rebuilding the configuration?
<numkem>
I kept thinking about permission but environment is quite differnt with NixOS, something to keep in mind
<numkem>
cole-h: we'll I've learned something new, `go run` and `go test` writes to `~/.cache/go-build/` deleting that folder solved it...
<cole-h>
numkem: The fact that it differs between root and your unprivileged user makes it obvious to me that *something* is different. You could try `strace`-ing it.
<aleph->
Yeah wanted to do something like imports = [ ./common/security.nix ... ];
<numkem>
it's my own code tho, a `go test` or `go run` on something that used to work suddenlty doesn't
<Woutifier>
I thought it was somehow used to write the config file itself or something like that
<Woutifier>
right, so it is then up to Grafana to take the environment variables and actually do something with them
<thoughtpolice>
A very common idiom is to write a NixOS module so it says something like `let cfg = config.options.grafana; in ...` and you can reference `cfg` from there on out. That's just a shortened form
<thoughtpolice>
So you could ask for something like, `config.options.grafana.security.adminUser` in your module
<ixxie>
well I guess what I meant, is whether there is some kind of NixOS module that wraps something that serve a javascript app
<MichaelRaskin>
And pivot_root seems to also want something not fully user-level in the beginning

not sure about that, I haven't actually used nginx on nixos... I guess it sounds like something changed about who nginx runs as between 20.03 and whatever you upgraded from?

because, who knows, unix permission model is crazy, or something
<pjt_014>
especially for something I can fix with a jq filter

<infinisil>
charukiewicz: Does the project do something like `import nixpkgs {}` in its files?
<infinisil>
Oh, I kind of suspect you have something in ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays or config.nix
<infinisil>
The full output should include something downloading from https://cache.nixos.org right?
<infinisil>
charukiewicz: Which means that something in the Nix files must be changing stdenv
<cab404[m]>
<simpson "cab404: Have you seen builtins.t"> it's not that difficult, something like firefox debugging tools on js objects would be already worlds better than ":p" in nix repl

<pie_>
cole-h: yeah something like that
<fps>
tobi_: maybe something like pkgs.servers.samba.override { enableLDAP = true; }; in the configuration.nix

<gchristensen>
no worries :P I'm trying to distract myself from something which isn't very healthy
<cole-h>
prusnak: Makes sense. But I'd rather carry around something like a flashdrive than a tamagotchi :P
<adisbladis>
If something is using a key type supported by those I should be able to use my hw token
<adisbladis>
gchristensen: When I was talking about "secrets support" before that meant a special string context that makes nix bail out in case something does end up in the store
<gchristensen>
(but then again, nix probably shouldn't have secrets support. something something lifecycle, mixing levels of sensitivity, breaking of models, etc.)
<infinisil>
I guess the problem it would solve (not knowing whether something is imported into the store) is rather low in benefit
<infinisil>
And to import something into the store you need to use builtins.importPath
<simpson>
pathlib is a great step forward, but it doesn't address TOCTTOU problems. Something more transactional is needed.
<infinisil>
Quantum paths because it's either a path to something inside or outside the store, but you won't know until you either use toString or "${}"

the ... being something like angerman/channels/nixos
<srhb>
Likely, something at homedir creation
<cjpbirkbeck>
note that the configuration is done in lua, and if something goes wrong the program will dump you back to the default.
<mchasard>
i have to test it so but awesome is something like fluebox ?
<Vikingman>
i try to change something in my config and i got /boot is not look like uefi partition
<Fare>
so I can't use fetchgit or something; I just want to use the current directory and/or a tarball I provide
<emily>
benpye: you can of course ^C out of the prompt if you want to do other boot debug, or put it in an executable or function or something if you don't just want to automatically do it at ssh time

Raito_Bezarius: I'm just gonna guess that you are not filtering sources or something like that?
<ambro718>
adisbladis: not sure, I just did something like this in default.nix, https://pasteall.org/MKDG
<ambro718>
ldlework: I created a nix-shell environment which includes pip, and in that shell I successfully used pip to install something, but trying to import that fails
<energizer>
"warning: error(s) occurred while switching to the new configuration" but did it still switch, or did it rollback, or something in between?
<dsal>
stack complains that there's a newer version. Something (home-manager?) puts the nix-env in front of my path so I can't easily just use a locally installed version. Is there an easy way to grab the latest stack?
<cole-h>
Isn't that just like Facebook Messenger or something
<adisbladis>
clever: Maybe you have something good to say about the doas pr?
<cole-h>
So, one would just need to `deny nopass keepenv root` or something, I guess
<dckc>
so idris 1.3.2 is "marked as broken" in nix... any clues? how do I tell nix to install 1.3.1 or something
<infinisil>
kayg04: Oh hm, do you perhaps have something like `set -u` in your ~/.bashrc or similar?
<srk>
instead of deleting it's probably better to just move old data dir (in case it contains something valuable :))
<clever>
dxtr: either `boot.supportedFilesystems = [ "nfs" ];` or set the fsType of something in fileSystems.foo to "nfs"
<bbarker>
tobeportable, interesting, `nixos-rebuild switch --repair` worked! I thought i tried it but I guess I did something else: `nix-store --verify --repair --check-contents`
<raboof>
genevino: hmm, seems like something that belongs in a manual to me :)
<drakonis>
unless you want something too fresh, in which you'll have to build or wait
<drakonis>
have you tried using lightdm or something?
<samueldr>
trying to fix something by whack-a-moling solutions isn't so great :/
<clever>
Raito_Bezarius: i dont know how, but craige is doing something like that
<clever>
Fare: for example, compile something with -DFOO_PATH=${FOO_PATH}
<clever>
energizer: and if your targeting something you lack the source for, you also need unpackPhase and patchPhase
<Fare>
something that adds all the stuff you want in ~/.nix-profile/lib/gerbil ?
<Fare>
adisbladis, somehow nix-build tells me error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a set, at (the line where I try to use buildLayeredImageWithNixDb)
<Fare>
something I can run build and test commands on top of
<adisbladis>
Something along those lines
<simpson>
adisbladis: Oh, sure, I figure that we do something like that to build the nixos/nix image on Docker Hub.
<cole-h>
I'm not knowledgable about flakes -- I just pulled that command from something Eelco posted somewhere
<drakonis>
or you can build something that uses that on your local copy of the repository
<armin>
adisbladis: looks like i'm clearly doing something wrong then
<azazel>
fps: every derivation and package can be converted to string with something like "${pkgs.foo}" to get the base path of it in the nix store
<jakobrs>
Or am i missing something
<turlando>
Another noob question from me: if for example I want to install something for a single user in my system user I should edit .nixpkgs/config.nix and then call nix-build as such user?
<clever>
but i think --store daemon?something=/path/to can point you to a diff socket, and then socat
<evanjs>
But I figure there's something I might be doing wrong
<emily>
wagnerf: I wonder if this could relate to switching to glvnd or something
<emily>
wagnerf: generally you'll want to do something like let nixpkgs_19_09 = import (fetchFromGitHub { ... }) {}; in ... nixpkgs_19_09.callPackage ./my-old-derivation {}
<clever>
elux: you have to go all the way back to something with root (sshd, the login screen) for the changes to apply
<pbogdan>
do you have your config online somewhere so I could compare and see if I missed something?
<MichaelRaskin>
If you have a group of fully mutually trusting devices, you can setup something similar to what you say with nix-serve
<jakobrs>
Apparently it's got something to do with Legacy, but ... it's not legacy
<jakobrs>
The longer command will actually generate the grub config, so if something breaks you can just copy-paste it into grub.extraConfig
<adisbladis>
clever: Yes, but that doesn't allow us to inject something exactly before the remote command
<adisbladis>
Is there a good way to figure out if I'm a trusted user (other than trying to copy a closure or something)?
<clever>
you can use `nix-store --query --roots` to figure out why something cant be deleted
<jakobrs>
not unless something's changed, but you can also do
<dxtr>
so if I wanted to use, say, linuxPackages_5_6 I'd do something like boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_5_6?
<NobbZ[m]>
Something in the tool that generates the page is broken. Sadly. Licenses are specified in the Derivation correctly as far as I know. avalenn
<Wulfsta>
energizer: I'm probably doing something wrong, since I don't understand why pip is needed?
<Kyndig>
i think i must have something wrong with my env, because I also have an issue with nix-channel closure not including gnutar
2020-04-30
<Irenes[m]>
you could also just do that once to see what the code it generates looks like, and whether it's something you could be doing by hand, if you would prefer that
<niso>
clever: although i would prefer something like systemd.crond - since it would imo be more intuitive for new users
<niso>
btw, i noticed someone before use services.cron - which seems to use standard crojobs. By chance nixpkgs could offer an easy to use alternative? (e.g. something like this - but with different name + refactoring: http://paste.debian.net/1144048/ )
<clever>
cole-h: let x = import ./.; in something with x.buildInputs and x.nativeBuildInputs
<betaboon>
worldofpeace: thanks. it just realy confused me going toward to wayland and having to set something under the xserver-namespace :D
<rooke>
I guess the next question becomes, working this out took me far longer than I care to admit. Does it make sense to add something like this to the documentation?
<rooke>
Yeah, especially for something like minted which requires python to be on the path
<cole-h>
pingiun: What are you trying to achieve? Just test a build on a PR, or force hydra to build something?
<jakobrs>
It isn't though, unless I'm missing something
<Alexey37>
Hm, I depend on hasql-pool in haskell packages, for which tests are broken (but without tests it compiles and works). As I understand, I could do something like `nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc865.callPackage ./my.nix { hasql-pool = nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc865.hasql-pool.override ???; }`, but what argument can disable tests? `doCheck`?
<glittershark>
function killall() { command killall .$1-wrapped } or something
<cinimod>
clever: interesting - all I actually want is no profiling but I must be asking for something more
<turlando>
Something unrelated to my question but still kind of related to my first install. What data should I snapshot from the NixOS install? Just /etc/nixos and everything else is derivable from the nix files?
<DamienCassou>
there is something weird: the link on the page points to latest-nixos-plasma5-x86_64-linux.iso. So if you download with wget, this is the filename you get. But with firefox, the file is renamed to nixos-plasma5-20.03.1619.ab3adfe1c76-x86_64-linux.iso

GitLab CI + Nix-Flakes - I'm trying to research that combination right now, but something's wrong. The tree is showing as dirty even though it shouldn't have nothing dirty associated with it, it's just a detached HEAD... Build logs: https://gitlab.com/vikanezrimaya/nix-flakes-docker/-/jobs/533118018
