For some reason, override-ing branch has no effect. (overriding other arguments, such as packages, does seem to work). I wonder if it's something to do with how 4.nix calls generic.nix.

what's the state of updating my laptops firmware through nixos? I've seen fedora has had a _thing_ for it recently, but I couldn't find any info about doing any kind of firmware upgrades in the wiki.

The crate "anyhow" failed this morning because it seemed to interpret something from the build script wrong and tried to compile stuff with the wrong flags
<jD91mZM2>
__monty__: Because Nix wants purity (good) so either you use something like carnix/crate2nix (when it works) to split each crate up and build each crate purely. Oooor... You recompile all dependencies from scratch on every tiny change.

dminuoso: I assume top-down or something, but the order shouldn't matter because you can give certain values higher priority using mkForce and friends
<Twey>
__monty__: Hm, I think Nix itself shouldn't give errors. You mean from a `fetchurl` or something?
<jD91mZM2>
Are there any downsides to having an overlay that basically defines `{ unstable = import <nixos-unstable> {} }`? The way I see is that this will just make it easier to use unstable software, but at the same time I'm thinking there must be a reason something like this isn't the default
<wedens>
thanks. I'm already doint something similar. I thought maybe there is some better approach without intermediate derivation.

<bahamas>
jD91mZM2: I assume I can use fetchTarball to get the repo explicitly, save the path and the do something like `nix-shell ${nix-deploy}/shell.nix` or `nix-env -i -f ${nix-deploy}/release.nix`. but which of the nix clis can take this?
<sphalerite>
Maise: that said, you could do something like… let tarballs = [ (fetchurl {url = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/…; sha256 = …;}) ]; in lib.concatMapStringsSep "\n" (p: "cp ${p} ${p.name}") tarballs;

<kvik>
it could be that i mucked up something else or had some leftover state from the first failed attempt so i'm gonna redo the dance, but i wanted to check with you anyway if i'm missing something obvious :)

hey. it's been a while since i've dealt with manual grub bios/gpt partitioning so i forget if there's something special needed to make it install and boot.

Something like (below) may work, but that's just a guess because I don't know your config

__monty__: That looks like a reasonable shell.nix definition to me though, I'd say it's something weird with haskell.nix

But my guess is that you're doing something like `name = "foo-${version}"` and version is unexpectedly an attrset
<pingiun>
so what about using something like poetry to install all dependencies in the single derivation?

pingiun: There is a difference: How python does it you get all dependencies as nix derivations, which is something desirable in general
<Izorkin>
Mic92: PR #70924 - need to fix something else?
<red[m]>
They reflect the cache as I understand it, but check with etu as I misunderstood something earlier
<pingiun>
another thing, how do package name clashes work? should I come up with something else than et for this? (there already is a package called et in nixpkgs)
<pingiun>
I see that there are very many PRs for nixpkgs, is it still doable to get something like this into nixpkgs as a noobie?
<pingiun>
but I'm not trying to build pan, but something that is not in nixpkgs yet
<pingiun>
that is something different right?
<pingiun>
i am building my own derivation and want to do something similar to nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A pan
<immae>
pingiun: you can use the --arg to specify each value of the function, or you can do something like `-Ifoo=$(pwd)/default.nix -E "(import <nixpkgs> {}).callPackage <foo> {}"` (untested)

kaliumxyz: I mean it has basic, but dumb, completion for in-file stuff. But for something more complicated that's going to depend on actually evaluating nix... somewhat at least
<jD91mZM2>
kaliumxyz: Oh, cool! Are you aware of nix-lsp? Maybe you could base yours upon that, or something else.
<jD91mZM2>
kaliumxyz: The lack of tooling is definitely a valid complaint to Nix, it's one of the main arguments to using GuixSD or something else that doesn't create its own domain-specific language

Hi everyone! I'm trying to finally make a default.nix derivation for xidlehook. I have pushed something to https://github.com/jD91mZM2/xidlehook that works with nix-build but fails with adding it to my list of packages in home-manager because "The option value ... is not of type `package'". Any pointers of what this means and how I can wrap the derivation into a package would be appreciated :)
<simpson>
kaliumxyz: I have a vim and a local copy of nixpkgs. If I need to look something up, I grep my nixpkgs tree.
<DigitalKiwi>
evils: yeah probably i have another issue i might need to open too anyway for something else
<infinisil>
kraem: If something deep down the dependency graph changes, e.g. gcc, then all packages that use gcc will be compiled anew

whether your secrets ending up plaintext in /nix/store matters to you or not depends on your threat model, of course, but it looks like it's not something you have to worry about w/ this use of nixops

primeos: the name I can agree with being confusing, doesn't mean that something is bad or out of use just because it hasn't been developed in a while :(

but the unstable.nix seems to use some build options and sources from github, so maybe it's worth something for the default.nix?

DigitalKiwi: i'm pretty sure it's not the actual version that's causing the issue but something in your environment. does "nix-env -q" show anything?

yep, got the same path: /nix/store/sl7aaibb1jmz8bp0gb8vv0rlz00nk5jf-kicad-5.1.4/bin/kicad, trying to insert something causes a lot of "library not found", but no segfault

Hi, I'm trying to run a python script that uses an external lib (libgobject-2.0.so.0) that is installed by the package «glib» but the script still can't see it.

does nix, when running provide a "clean" environment? I mean if I have global install of something, will it use that during build/execution - even if not specified in the "nix-scripts"
<nakkle>
clever: according to https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/584 I need to execute it as a trusted user, as far as I understand it, because "building a derivation" is different from "building something else", but I haven't learned yet what exactly the difference is
<evils>
just tried something smaller, it gets stuck at 1/4 of the progress bar as well
<evils>
HappyEnt[m]: seems to be working here, though i'm slicing something rather big, i'll let you know if it fails to finish
<jophish>
this seems like something nix is well positioned to do
<duairc>
infinisil: Yeah, something like that probably seems to be the best bet.
<bahamas>
how do you folks handle .env files? do you write them to /run/foo or something?
<duairc>
infinisil: Ah, not exactly, but something like that. Anyway I figured out I can use builtins.getEnv "PWD" to disambiguate which project to build
<pbb>
I know it was possible to use something sot hostPlatform to i686 when importing nixpkgs and build an iso from that in the past
<Zer0xp>
Hey so I updated to 19.09 but while updating, something went wrong I guess cause whenever I restart the system, during the boot, it says that the NTP sync service didn't start
<kaba00>
Hi, I vaguely remember some site or GitHub repo or something which listed packages not yet available in nixos but in other more mainstream distros. I would like to help package some of them, could someone please help where can I find such a list?
<pbb>
> [21:55] <talyz> pbb: well, it looks like you're on ee, which is what I'm running too.. I guess it could be something in the state directory leftover from an old release causing this..
<jackdk>
Squarism: I think what you need to do is override the derivation to add your R stuff to buildInputs, but I think there are colleagues here who might have done something very similar in the recent past
<ivan>
inkbottle: when you run something with "sh" it doesn't use the shebang line

<__red__>
btw - next time I think it's a good idea to try and fix something - someone please hit me with a flyswatter or something
<talyz>
pbb: well, it looks like you're on ee, which is what I'm running too.. I guess it could be something in the state directory leftover from an old release causing this..
<AmandaC>
You didn't do something like make docker use 192.168.1.0/24 did you?
<AmandaC>
is there something like mkEnableOption that defaults to true?
<red[m]>
or something of that ilk?
<srhb>
AmandaC: If the daemon is running it should still be the one doing the collecting. And I'd just check cpu usage via top or something like that. :)
<red[m]>
so, if something has been marked as broken and has no maintainer - I guess that means someone can just pick it up?
<duairc>
clever: I'm not sure that quite does what I'm saying. I already have something similar to that. I want to have a single shell.nix for all the projects that gives me the combined "env" of all of the libraries, minus the libraries themselves
<duairc>
I'm also doing Haskell nix things right now, and a shell.nix I copied from somewhere ends with drv.env, where drv is ultimately the derivation that callCabal2nix makes. My question is, what is env? Can I look inside it? And is it recursive? Is there an env.env (not literally but something like that)?
<fresheye1>
that leads me to believe that something got corrupt in nix-stores knowledge of what it has and what others have
<devalot>
In hackage-packages.nix, why do some package releases get their own attributes (e.g., lens_4_18 vs. lens)? When testing my packages with new dependencies I have to dig through this file to figure out what attributes to use. Is there a better way or am I doing something wrong?
<Twey>
How do people figure out which things are taking all the space in their Nix store? Something like ncdu but with the dependency graph instead of directory tree?
<exarkun>
infinisil: Oh. So I *do* need nginx or apache or something like that.
<infinisil>
exarkun: There needs to be something to verify you have control over the server, so you need a web server (there's also a dns version, but that's not implemented afaik)
<pbb>
romildo: give me a moment, I'll come up with something for this problem
<pbb>
vgnalizliz: depends on how you install something. "nix-env -iA" just follows the path you specify on the nixpkgs attribute set, so it will not even always choose the latest one
<bo0tzz>
I think I'm still missing something getting this working. My old workflow is to use nix-shell to start a shell with the tools I need for my development (pipenv, yarn, etc). This is the context where I was having the issue with the attrs dependency. Using nix run like FRidh mentioned does fix the attrs issue, but I can't figure out how to reproduce
<infinisil>
So the general idea is to statically encode that it should be influenced by something dynamic
<infinisil>
kaliumxyz: Two ways I can see this being possible: One is to add something like `ConditionPathExists=!/etc/systemd-overrides/<unitname>` to the systemd unit you want to disable dynamically
<mg->
adisbladis: ah, running with no config works. So something in the config is fucking it up
<wtv_nick>
i looked into that but it seems weird to me to have that solution when it feel like its something nix should do natively

<ornx>
is running commands after merging via nix-env something that is intended to be supported ever?
<danderson>
and again the trace just shows things failing somewhere in the bowels of nix, rather than pointing to something in my own module.
<WilliamHamilton>
I'm looking for a wifi card to use with NixOS; is there something I should know (incompatibilities, etc)? I'd choose a Asus PCE-AC55BT probably
<aswanson>
I'm getting a strange error when running `nixos-rebuild switch`, after the step `Updating GRUB 2 menu` : `Died at /nix/store/<hash>-install-grub.pl line 33`. I assume something is missing/broken under /boot but I don't know what
<jntd>
srhb: I'm thinking in something like services.collectd.package, but security.wrappers returns a set with a path and a string and there is no mention to the wrapped bin.
<samueldr>
services.journald.extraConfig = ''\nSystemMaxUse=2048M\n'' # <- I have something similar in my configurations
<clever>
j4m3s__: then something else must be wrong with the cryptodisk setup, are you using luks?, hmmm, maybe grub doesnt understand lvm on luks?
<evanjs>
clever: how did you test the compiled program? I must've run configure or something wrong
<evanjs>
clever: seems like it's something from 2.3 -> 2.3.1 *shrugs* -- /nix/store/l4zaz0z1x9w549xj0m0y9a2p8fik2w8a-nix-2.3/bin/nix works fine. Anybody else on nix*-unstable experiencing broken nix commands?
<clever>
nornagon: this tells nixos how to run a fuse binary to mount something
<evanjs>
clever: yeah it was happening with `nix-eval` so I tried with `nixos-rebuild --show-trace` but that killed gdm.... let me try in a vterm or screen or something
<clever>
lukash_: is something mounted read-only?
<tilpner>
lukash_: It will be created once you install something into it: nix-env -iA nixpkgs.hello
<ornx>
man nix is so cool, i tried to build something and it didnt work so i thought "oh god ill have to spend ages figuring out how to compile this"
<nornagon>
i'm unfamiliar with nix-shell, something like `nix-shell -p jdk11_headless`?
<ornx>
i have my nixpkgs (stable/release and unstable/master) in a git repo on my hard disk (so i dont use channels (i dont think??)), so to do eg nix-shell i have to do -I nixpkgs=/path/to/localrepo -I unstable=/blah/blah etc, is there some way to set these as environment variables (or set my nix channel to use the local repos) or something, so i dont have to pass those flags to nix-env/nix-shell et al every time i want to use them?
<adisbladis>
wedens: Iirc it came down to something linking against an ABI version of vaapi that's not around anymore
<aanderse>
wedens: when users make something blow up :)
<infinisil>
gjabell: You can do this with something like `options.users.users = mkOption { type = loaOf (submodule ({ config, ... }: { config.passwordFile = mkDefault (pkgs.writeText "pw" config.password); })); }`
<mabel>
something had to have overwritten it
<mabel>
ah, something like boot.extraModprobeConfig ="options vfio-pci ids=${cfg.pciIDs}"; ?
<tilpner>
jophish: Something like strace -o /tmp/log -vfefile vim ...
<jophish>
Something about being in a nix shell makes os_copy((char *)fname, (char *)backup, UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE) fail
<danderson>
but again, removing any mention of name still results in an infinite recursion, so I'm thinking there's something more fundamental that I'm missing.
<infinisil>
Or something like that, I don't see a force push in the PR, so it should still be referenced

The only culprit I can think of is secure boot or something that my dual windows (on a different drive) has done. But I can still _boot_ into nixos and windows
<ixiqem>
Nixos seems to have completely broken for me, and it seems to be something outside of generations. Kwin is crashing (can't move or resize windows) it can be fixed by nuking ~/.cache, but only temporarily. Network can't connect to eno1 so I have no network, and this is happening on every generation i've tried (from the latest to the first to some inbetween, all of which have historically not had these
<clever>
leo_: your likely doing something wrong, somewhere
<marusich>
I expected ${} to be bash parameter expansion, but it seems like it must be something else.
<AmandaC>
I'mma make a full log of the thing, and upload that somewhere, maybe I'm missing something

matthuszagh: you want something like this, to append to it

clever: ... something seems fucky with my linux VM, but not sure why. It's saying "Cannot allocate memory" even though it's for ~4G free still (I bumped the VM up to 8G RAM )

On the train to Prague now. Anybody know if there is a meetup or something there soon? I'll stay until the 20th 🙂
<rnhmjoj>
do you know if something related to (bitmap?) fonts changed with 10.09? i now have to specify rgstry=iso10646 in the xfontsel string otherwise i get a ridiculously upscaled version (rgstry=iso8859) of the same font, eventhough the pixel size is the same
<sphalerite>
idk what exactly caused it — I'm guessing it's actually new support in the kernel for my laptop or something — but it will now completely drain one of the batteries and turn off, rather than switching to the second battery at 5% >_<
<clever>
wedens: for that, you want something slightly different
<spiderbit>
it can be a bit frustrating to use nixos from time to time :D github errors take often several moths or get not fixed at all even after months then you upgrade the system because that fixes the issue but something else breaks then irc nobody that can help you and mailing lists are down, too :D
<clever>
hpfr[m]: not sure what else could be checked, try doing `nix-store -r /nix/store/foo` using something the remote machine has, but the local doesnt, and also not in the binary cache
<red[m]>
... and something keeps changing /var/lib/bacula to be owned by root
