symphorien: is this the blessed way to remove a package? perhaps i should be using nix-env or something?
<iddt>
and if you remove the symlink to something that another package depends on, does it faceplant?
<iddt>
oh trippy, so nixos basically does reference counts on packages or something, and if nothing is symlinked to it, it tosses it?
<hyperfekt>
What would be the most idiomatic way to wrap directories around something in Nix? Say I have a package that produces directory a and I want a package that has a directory b that contains directory a.
<iddt>
yay, it rebooted. the booted-system symlink is back. didn't get any smaller tho. is there something i should now run to make it tighter?

hi all; after an upgrade to 19.03 (from 18.03) it seems that virtualbox shares are broken. I must be doing something wrong, because this is hardly a unique configuration I'd say

I should shoot myself, I think. Let me check something.

i don't understand something, i have allowunfree=true set on my local file
<nh2>
___laika: you could also use `callCabal2nix`, which does such generation when nix runs, but that of course needs internet access. I guess checking the cabal2nix output into your code is something you might want to do if you want to make compiling "offline" from just a source checkout easier

outputHashAlgo is usually sha256, but something like yarn2nix can just copy the hash&algo from yarn.lock, and not even fetch things when translating

aszlig: So it's just something we don't want to do :P The firestorm packaging xD
<MichaelRaskin>
asheshambasta_m: you have an option of installing Nix on Arch (experience of a coworker: works simply enough), getting Nixpkgs and getting things done using Nix. This allows you to use Nix-based sane workflows whenever you are about versions, and defer the migration until you are fluent in Nix and can easily read the implementation code for hardware support modules if something goes wrong
<matthewbauer>
nh2: there is a way to do it with package set but i can't remember it, something with . maybe just do `haskell.compiler.ghc864` and see if it builds?
<dtz>
quick answer: I have no idea what that was about-- if it fixed something, if it was possible so might as well, or what . I can chase down if needed, but if there's a reason this shouldn't be done that's probably better to explore than some forgotten use case :)

NixOS lets you completely undo changes if you don't like them, so that seems like something

I am first trying to build it :laughing: I was always trying to create packages for something that has already all the dependencies in place. In the upstream stable channel. I just never tried building a package that depends on another package in my our source tree that is not in the upstream. Basically, starting from how to organize it and so on. If I remember different technology stacks (programming languages) are done

I can even see in the output for `nix-env -if ./nixpkgs -A beamPackages.plug` (I rewrote the entry for `plug` to point to my updated v1.8.0) that it copies the packages into the `_build/prod/lib` directory prior to building, so I'm thinking I missed something, I just don't know where

bahamas: can you be more precise about your question: You want to download all the nix expressions when you run update? If so, it’s already the case. You want to "upgrade something" (like your installed packages for instance) ? then you need to have a nix expression that builds that "something" and run it after the channel update. You want to download all the existing pre-built binaries corresponding to the

For context, if it's useful, I have NixOS installed to the same EFI partition as MacOS uses for booting; I was told that was safe to do, but this leads me to think perhaps MacOS overwrote something.

Did you unmount & make sure all data was synced? If so, then something is messed up somewhere, not 100% sure.

Because when you copy files to a device, it will finish faster than it actually copies files, caching them in memory in the mean time while it keeps on copying. Or something, that might not be the way Linux does it.

how could I get more informations on why the error is occurring? Could it have something to do with the ` hardware.pulseaudio.support32Bit = true;` option?
<krbtgt>
am i doing something wrong here?
<gentauro>
so I need to create me some "pains" so I have something to talk about next week :P (Prosa is trying to book the canteen again for us)
<pie_>
or something, idk
<Jetien>
How can I generate the nixos reference docs (man page "man configuration.nix" or something similar). Is there a build target?
<clever>
tbenst: if the hash is for something you already have, nix believes you, and uses that source directly

Actually, I was searching for something about awesome wm
<colemickens>
cmacrae ping, yes, I have something that will build chromium+ozone and "works"
<camsbury>
Looking for something like an `overrideBuildInputs`, for which I could just put the old version in
<manveru>
is that even good for something?
<infinisil>
zen_monk: I asked you something
<myme>
I thought I'd ask if that's something "familiar" before I start digging some more.
<infinisil>
As long as grub and such compile, I don't see what could cause problems. But I'm not a very crossy guy in that sense, so maybe I'm missing something
<pie_>
looks like i found some weird file path bug in something
<immae>
oups my message did something strange
<immae>
if so, you can do something like nix-build -E 'import ./. { nixpkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; }'. If it’s things from nixpkgs (sort of like what you can find in pkgs/ in nixpkgs), you should use instead 'nix-build -E callPackage ./. {}'
<immae>
if so, you can do something like nix-build -E 'import ./. { nixpkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; }'

I think it has something to do with . not being valid in container names :(
<iqubic>
How do I mute/unmute something from the alsamixer TUI?
<samueldr>
arcnmx: anything that has the store path in memory... it's assuming you want it rooted. Most likely something running referencing a library
<arcnmx>
presumably the memory of... the daemon? something else?

<arcnmx>
there could be! I've mostly just been looking/searching for something that at least confirms this is an expected error or intended/unsupported behaviour, and hadn't found much saying either way.
<pie_>
maybe your keyboard has a microphone mute button or something?
<iqubic>
So something super bizarre happened.
<samrose>
infinisil: yes, this would be something that I had already built and packaged into an iso and channel in hydra, and then want to reference. I think you are right that /etc is a good candidate as what I want to link to is effectively a kind of configuration
<bennofs[m]>
would something like that be useful if we don't?
<pie_>
if it just leads to ther people reimplementing cargo its stupid, cant they have some abi revision field or something? or require a metafile?
<Twey>
pie_: Basically the problem is that Cargo is a combined build system and package manager, and to integrate it with something else you want to be able to invoke the build system without invoking the dependency manager. But they're tightly coupled
<pie_>
simpson, where does stuff go wrong with cargo? i think there was something?
<pie_>
something thats nix and fhs friendly
<manveru>
drakonis: python uses like 15 different build systems or something
<pie_>
or uhhh....something like that
<jomik>
For some reason this `yarn prepare` fails with `/bin/sh: npm-run-all: not found`, even though `npm-run-all` is a devDependency. I am using nix-npm-buildpackage. Anyone have any idea why it seems to be unable to find something clearly listed as a dependency?
<parsnip>
i noticed that was like an open issue or something, but i guess it's just nice to have as much learning curve softened as there is.
<hodapp>
err, if I enable the syncthing service, shouldn't I be seeing something on port 8384?
2019-04-29
<pie_>
gchristensen, why not - actually its a string, i kind of just made up that maybe that will make it get imported or something :p
<pie_>
or something like that
<AlexRice[m]>
I might be missing something here but what should be the intended behaviour when an item in `buildInputs` is wrapped in a singleton list i.e. `buildInputs = [ [a] b c ]`, I've tried a bit of testing and it sometimes seems to work with the singleton list and sometimes doesn't
<pie_>
sphalerite, Im actually trying to run UniExtract2 but youre probably right that I should look for something that will just work on linux native
<pie_>
sphalerite, i was actually thinking of screen recording or something
<pie_>
this is something im not actually clear on, does disabling the sandbox mean the build process has access to the rest of your system?
<pie_>
clever, can I get something to connect to the x server if I dont build it in a sandbox?
<pie_>
put me in the "something is wrong with nixpkgs" mode
<samueldr>
something relative to ~ in the stack?
<pie_>
i need to test something with the sandbox off so i cd to a random temp directory and set my HOME, now im running into stuff like
