You can probably do something like `pkgs.salt.override {extraInputs = [];}`

leex: is home manager on nixpkgs-unstable while your system is on nixos-unstable or something?
<PIE_>
should be sufficient to do the rebuilds and maybe tell systemd to refresh or something

not sure whats weird about that,but maybe it means something<leex> PIE_: weird it's mentioning 13.0
<pie_>
i dont know anything specific relating to home manager but i could see that setting up something with the user services
<pie_>
which might actually explain it if anything in your user environment depends on your user channel. maybe say,PATH hash stuff from the wrong channel , that could lead to the user servie resolving the wrong libc or something

tbf that libc issue looks like something that would be something people on nixos would know about but i dont know offhand wha tthe problem is

I wish I had something insightful to offer to help with the unstable breakage. Seeing so much red on the status page is unfortunate.
<pie_>
if it doesnt, something is wrong, probably in the configuration
<ToxicFrog>
Under what circumstances does something need to read /etc/nixos/configuration.nix? I was under the impression that it was only needed by `nixos-rebuild`, but I'm trying to run `nix-shell` here as a service user and it dies with "getting status of /etc/nixos/configuration.nix: permission denied"
<simonpe^^>
I read something about that on reddit but it might not be released yet

supersandro2000 I upgraded to unstable and tried to install something with home manager (added something to it), then now it's reinstalling/upgrading everything in home manager packages list
<qq_pls>
cole-h that seemed to have worked, at least built so thank you. Because I want to understand this better, why is it we needed to let the value into a new variable? Is it something to do with the change in scope and if so why would rec and then calling it by it's original name not work?
<qq_pls>
I'm glad to see you suggest this, It makes me feel like I'm learning. I tried something similar but gave up on it too soon. Let me try your suggestion, thank you!

It's just you're doing something more advanced than what I'm used to :)

Hi, I just switched to the unstable channel of NixOS and I am trying to build with NVIDIA drivers (services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];) but it fails with error "The required package gtk+-3.0 was not found on your system". I am not sure if the problem comes from my configuration or if it something wrong with unstable...
<extrowerk>
Ah, yet something: please consider to not use dotfolders and dotfiles in the $HOME. Thats unacceptable on Haiku, even for ported programs. It is just bad practice.
<extrowerk>
ok, i achaived what i wanted, built nix on Haiku, it seems to doing things, i is enough for me, i can't debug something i am never used.
<extrowerk>
we can live with something like /boot/home/config/non-packaged/nix
<lassulus>
if you want to boot something which depends on nix (like nixos) it should be persistent
<tpw_rules>
on macos where writing to / is impossible too, the installer creates a separate logical volume to hold everything under /nix . can you not do something similar in haiku?
<ambro718>
This issue can be found by googling for something like "linux lenovo Y720 wifi not working" and seeing suggestions to blacklist ideapad-laptop module.

<pie_>
ldlework: well, the short of it all is I added NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE = "-DSTDC_HEADERS=1"; and it seems to be fine but something is still fucky
<pie_>
can you do -j1 or something? --cores 1 --max-jobs 1 i think?
<pie_>
ldlework: why are there things about sdl2? i think i read something about only supporting sl1?
<jboy>
building succeeds, it's the install phase that fails because it is trying to copy something to /etc
<pie_>
idk off hand how i would have checked that but maybe something like looking what zfs derivation was getting added
<pie_>
hyper_ch: something i would also have checked is maybe using nix show-derivation to figure out if things were coming from the right channel
<pie_>
ldlework: so it looks like something that comes from autocon
<pie_>
hyper_ch: haha yeah i was gonna ask something like are you running the right iso
<pie_>
ldlework: that looks like something google might help with though?
<pie_>
so either i did something wrong, or you actually_have_ to pass them separately. TIL, and that will remain an open queastion
<pie_>
i used mktemp because apparently it checks if the file exists or something and errors otherwise
<Miyu-saki>
TL;DR, it is stored in like ~/.nix/cache or something
<Miyu-saki>
So in the "usual use-case", you'll have something like `with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./. {}`. And when you override that with `-I` it will instead use the nixpkgs from your /nix/store, with no regards to any other nixpkgs installed in your systme.
<pie_>
because it sets <nixpkgs> , sure, but something has to resolve what it's using as the overall nixpkgs context
<pie_>
i get the pieces but i always manage to majorly wrongthink something :P
<pie_>
hyper_ch: Idk offhand how things get put into the iso, but for building the iso youd probably do something like -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable to set the <nixpkgs> value which is used by impure.nix, if I recall correctly, to set the pkgs thats in scope, and such

<vulpine "is there a way to put a package "> I think this should work, as long as the file is an expression that evaluates to a derivation. That said, it seems to be more common to declare packages as a function that evaluates to a derivation, in which case you might need to use `callPackage /path/to/local/pkg.nix { }` to produce the actual derivation. At least I think it's something along these lines, I'm still new!

When some package does not build from the unstable channel im subscribed to, I can do something like `(let stablePkgs = import <stable> { }; in [ stablePkgs.some-package ])` and concat these to unstable packages. Now, can I solve in a similar way the issue that the combination of `boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;` and `virtualisation.virtualbox.host.enable = true;` does not
<andoriyu>
well something is building
<tpw_rules>
for real though, didn't someone set up a ripgrep instance or something for nixpkgs?
<prsteele>
no, I don't think I want callPackage --- I think I need to provide a bunch of arguments to get something I can pass to callPackage
<prsteele>
is there a way to point to the derivation of a package? Take something like irrsi that can be installed --- can I ask nix for the expressions that built it? (I'm trying to reverse engineer how something is built)
<sterni>
redmp: if you do something like newNixpkgs = nixpkgs // { b = nixpkgs.b.override { … }; } a will not pick up on the change (how would it, you are just changing a set)

<sterni>
redmp: note that you have to use haskell.lib.overrideCabal to achieve something like overrideAttrs for haskellPackages
<samueldr>
.overrideAttrs gives you the current attributes, as otherwise it would be awkward to get append to e.g. buildInputs or something along the line
<eyJhb>
Trying once more, might have written something wrong
<jared-w>
But yeah, between that, the various bits of sprinkled formatting logic, etc., it seems like there *should* be something better...
<levels>
Yeah, but either I'm missing somehting obvious or something is broken, it just doesnt work for me
<RyuKurisu[m]>
You know what's awesome about Nixos? That if you wonder if something can be easily installed then you probably can **and** in multiple configurations!
<sterni>
since nix-shell exists it usually takes quite some time until I want to install something new globally etc
<kenran>
I found out about Distributed Builds, but those seem to be for when the remote machine actually builds the stuff. I'd be looking for something that's "just a cache".
<kenran>
Is the following scenario achievable? : I build something locally via nix-build, then "put" it on a remote machine. When I (or my colleagues) need to build the same thing again, I'd like to get a "cache hit" and use the built one from the remote machine.
<pinpox>
It should be something like "use the official cache + my cachix cache to find as much as possible prebuild. If both caches miss, build yourself"
<adisbladis>
pinpox: So your secret is still in the drv file, but at least it becomes painfully obvious that you have done something wrong
<pinpox>
domenkozar[m]: Secerts should all be in env files or in /secrets (outside the nix store).. I'm a bit concerened to misconfigure something though and accidently put a secret into the store in the future
<pinpox>
domenkozar[m]: thanks. Will work through that, I just wanted to make sure I was understanding this correctly and not doing something stupid
<mvnetbiz_>
I like the idea of functional languages. besides nix I haven't programmed in much, besides some toy programs in haskell or lisp. give specific algorithm to implement, I can figure it out, but I don't understand well how to make programs that actually do something with outside state
<redmp>
i'm trying to change out a use of `defaults = { ... };` with something that will override instead
<simonpe^^>
clever: I'm not sure how patchelf --print-needed works but I do that AND something like `strings $binary | grep /nix/store` to find all the store refs, so it could maybe be something else than a .so dependency
<mvnetbiz_>
I was hoping I could do something like this in a flake.nix, but I get infinite recursion.
<redmp>
hoping to find a generic way to do this, or at least something that works in both virtualbox & ec2

<immae>
(I’m not sure if you’re talking about something that works in arch and not in nixos, or something that doesn’t work in either of them)
<immae>
vldn: your default.nix should be staritng with something like '{ python3Packages }: python3Packages.buildPythonPackage rec { ...}`
<vldn>
hey, i'm trying to build my default.nix via "nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; ( callPackage ./default.nix {} )'" but with buildPythonPackage rec { } ... it complains about "error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a set, at ... customisation.nix"
<srhb>
Hmm, I want something to tell nix to replace NIX_PATH lookups with something deterministic in flaky pure eval mode. I don't suppost that's a thing uet, right?
<jess>
but yeah, nixos is definitely something i've thought about
<dusty73>
Yaniel, seems to have something to do with the DRM. People mentioned libdrm. I can run it fine if I kill the xserver, but that's not necessary in any other setups. I get the following errors in the Kodi log:
<srhb>
clime: Okay, then you'll need something like what the wireguard module does; boot.extraModulePackages = optional (versionOlder kernel.kernel.version "5.6") kernel.wireguard;
<srhb>
clime: Not that it can't be done, but loading something from an arbitrary nix store path, even if you succeeded, is bound to eventually go wrong through garbage collection or reboots or whatnot.
<mkaito>
I think you can inputs.banana.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = 'strawberry.nixpkgs' or something along those lines
<mkaito>
I don't suppose anyone happens to be running libvirt VMs on hetzner bare metal servers? I'm having the worst time trying to get the routed network to work. I suspect the nixos firewall might be doing something to interfere with the rules libvirt inserts, but I'm pretty lost.
<aei>
sorry for repeated message, ... i hit something new i weechat and do not get feedback for myself, what a comedy, i see myself (hplar)
<maralorn>
supersandro2000: Yeah, I hadn‘t really thought about multiple nom instances. I can make that saver easily I’ll probably do that next weekend or something …
<kenran>
sterni: In my pkgs.nix, I add a package with the unique name lbfgsb to `pkgs`, but doing `nix search -f nix/pkgs.nix lbfgsb` and it doesn't hit anything. Going in a repl there finds it though, so I'm thinking something's wrong with the nix search usage.

<wunderbrick>
When packaging something for inclusion in nixpkgs, is there a way to use Rust nightly or is that just a no go? ofborg doesn't like when I use the official Mozilla overlay per https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/114777
<lambda-11235>
How do I remove entries from /nix/store? I was trying to cross-compile binutils, so I copied gmrun's default.nix and just changed the src. Something went wrong, and now I have a /nix/store/*-binutils-2.36.tar.x which contains gmrun's code.
<numkem>
I have an option I've defined that is a list. I have 2 places that I'd like to append to it. When I try doing something like `services.listOption = config.services.listOption` I end up with an infinite recursion... what would be the proper way to do it?
<cinimod>
sterni: I am assuming it tries to build with clang - I am trying to recall how to tell nix to build with gcc - something like `myShell = mkShell.override { stdenv = overrideCC stdenv gcc; };`
<gchristensen>
I guess I just need to specify something stronger than a default
<gchristensen>
srhb: have you seen this error, or something like it, with morph before? The option `networking.hostName' has conflicting definitions, in `/nix/store/ddl67nlk27q5lv5mrq8si7ppxxgwdh00-ci00h76wb09lgqf0bjjkqvva1nfvxc22-nixpukgsw/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix' and `<unknown-file>'.
<madonius[m]>
is there something comfortable?
<aforemny>
Hi, I am following https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/pine64-pinephone.html , flashing mobile-nixos-boot.img to /dev/mmcblk0p1 fails with 'no space left on device'. Indeed that image is 55M big, but /dev/mmcblk0p1 is only 16M big. Am I doing something wrong?
<ronthecookie>
the docs are so all over the place that i am scared to venture out every time i have to do something unusual
<drozdziak1>
srid home-manager does, otherwise rofi is probably something you don't want to manage systemd-wide
2021-02-28
<mep1911>
not supported yet or am i missing something to configure?
<paniash>
something like runit or openrc
<tad-lispy[m]>
Ah, wait. Something is wrong.
<tad-lispy[m]>
I have a feeling that it has something to do with nixpkgs channel.
<__monty__>
Propagated build inputs probably means something different from what you expect. Read the definitions in the manual really carefully.
<Reventlov>
trying to package something that depends on ghostscript (camelot, a python package) that I added to the propagated build dependencies, and it seems the dependencies are not working for the python package (which seems weird)
<tomberek>
hrm.... you can do something with /dev/disk-by-label maybe. I'm not grok'ing clever's proposal.
<abathur>
but maybe you tried that and something in the expression breaks
2021-02-27
<manveru[m]>
redmp_: i think it was something like `config.networking.privateIPv4`
<pie_67>
i get the feeling nicos or the grub install scripts might be doing something funky
<viric>
collares: let's see if I learn something :)
<tomberek>
nly: hrm..... `ls ~/.nix-profile/bin -alh` or something like `nix-store -qR ~/.nix-profile`
<tomberek>
nly: do you mean something in your PATH or profile?
<nly>
how do i find where something is installed?
<le0taku>
I have noticed that something on NixOS resets my home directory permissions on every reboot. Does anyone here know what could be the cause?
<apteryx>
so there's something with my package cache
<tomberek>
ok, i presume you have looked at bubblewrap issue 297. Strace your application, but i'd suspect it is looking for something at /run/opengl-driver
<moonloo>
tomberek : maybe it's something specific to docker because with bubblewrap all i have to do is bind /dev/nvidia-modeset /dev/nvidia[0-9] /dev/nvidiactl in addition to /dev/dri and /sys/dev/char + /sys/devices/pci0000:00

<praduca>
don't know if it is something with my installation, but nix is all about this being not relevant, so... if someone confirms that it is broken, i will fill an report
<tpw_rules>
oh sure, if this is just to use it personally then something like that would work
