Is it possible that the hash of Xcode.app changed from when its hash was embedded in nixpkgs?

'k, it's still saying "embedding isn't possible on fat partitions.

samueldr: I must have done this wrong. It's failing to install GRUB. Something about Embedding not possible and only being able to use blocklists...

I'm failling to install grub on a nixos 19.03 install with "warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.". What do I do next?

Yeah.. no fixed url for the .deb, no fixed url for the icon, possibly can't distribute the item by embedding into nixpkgs either..

The grub install errors are: "Warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partion; embedding won't be possible".

gchristensen: I'm abusing Nix to be a kind of "programmable JSON" using `nix-instantiate --eval --strict --json`. I got to a point where I explored the possibility for embedding some file's contents in one of the JSON properties.

frigate_freedom: Can you also give your boot loader config according to configuration.nix? As far as I know efi embedding is entirely possible by using "nodev" as the device. And the easiest way to support windows booting is to use grubs os prober functionality.

is it possible to `nixos-install` from a 64bit system onto a mountpoint 32bit? The mountpoint is a CF card for an embedded router that does not support booting from USB

hi! I'm having trouble installing nixos.. Actually I had the same issue before, but I don't remember how to solve it: I created a boot and a root partition, both ext4, however I'm getting: 'Warning.. GPT partition contains no BIOS boot partition... Embedding is not possible'

Also, is it possible to have a nixpkgs that already contains the overlays? Like take a pinned nixpkgs, combine it with overlays to have a new nixpkgs, where you only have to specify it? (without specifying any overlays, since it already has them embedded)

I don't get this warning though "grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible." I don't even want to a BIOS boot setup, I want UEFI, so why is trying to force BIOS on me? =-O

freeman42x: oh god now grub doesn't even work "Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists."
