mwilsoncoding, my mind is in other places right now but if youre using mkDerivation or something like that you add an attribute called preBuild and put your commands in it

pie_: been trying nixos since <1wk, a blast so far. nixops is really really really cool. had been using propellor lately, but it missed something. now I know: it missed an immutable declarative OS to work on
<nh2>
genesis: ah, or do you mean something like a button "install with nix", like those TravisCI / CircleCI badges many github repos have?
<nh2>
tilpner: yea, I currently have something like that that also uses `exec` and `$@`, but I'd like to get rid of the bash. I had hoped there might already be some simple wrapper around it, but if there's none, I'll implement it as you just showed with the second line, thank you!
<tilpner>
Something like this if you just want a symlink: runCommand "myprog-nh2" {} ''mkdir -p $out/bin; ln -s ${hello}/bin/hello $out/bin/myprog-nh2''
<nh2>
tilpner: yes, but for that I already need to have something like `mypackage/bin/myprog-nh2 -> /nix/store/actual-package/myprog`, right? I'm wondering what the cleanest way to just make a `bin/` symlink is, so I can put it into systemPackages
<srhb>
ivan: Take a look at morphs data directory. It hasa something I think is called eval-machines.nix which is basically the same as nixops' eval-machines.nix

<NickHu>
home-manager switch would still complain about no such option foo or something like that right?
<infinisil>
NickHu: Oh and imports goes in there too, so your example would be something like `{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }: { imports = [ ... ]; options = { ... }; config = { home.file....; }; }`
<NickHu>
infinisil: I'll try to sketch it out, because I haven't actually written it yet: something like this https://paste.xinu.at/lgc6Tb/

I already added yubico package to udev and rebuilt. is this something that requires a reboot?

sphalerite: one of the disks that was part of the previous rpool now has windows on it (maybe something still survived in the mbr or somewhere)

something in my alacritty config broke on upgrading (?) to 19.03 and now its giving me an error
<bb010g>
neeasade: something handy I found on Zsh related to that is `nix-store -qd =jq(:P)` (or whatever your command in PATH is), =cmd filename expansion gives the path of the command, :P history colon modifier chases symlinks to get to its initial store path, and -qd (--query --deriver) gives the derivation that produced it

andi-: what about the ssh -vvv ? I dont recall that I should do something
<clever>
simply by not updating something you dont use anymore
<clever>
you would do something like, nix-env -f '<home-manager>' -A config.system.toplevel --set ~/.nix-profile

there's `man configuration.nix`. and I guess nixos-option or something like that.

avn: Does nixos support directly booting the kernel? In theory, on uefi entry may be made for each generation, and then the bootload menu from the bios can be used to directly boot the kernel. I did something like that (minus generations) a while back with another distro.
<avn>
I put some hopes, that grub-efi be able to read config with boot path from EFI, but it isn't. So if something changes, you need to boot from media, and re-install loader anyway (because boot path hardwired to binary)
<wucke13>
Why does installPhase = '' something something else ${script}''; yield an cannot coerce a function to a string? script itself is made by writeScript from trivial builders.
<lassulus>
m0rphism: maybe you need to add something like: boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d";

matthewbauer: but why does libc have to be in buildInputs here? I always understood buildInputs as something that will be there at run time; but if I statically link an exe, shouldn't it have 0 run-time dependencies?

simpson: I think that unless typed-nix will have a very sophisticated type system, people will be OK with learning it. In fact, I think that already something super basic like being able to say whether something is an Int, a String or an Attrset or nullable would help nixpkgs hugely
<colemickens>
Ralith: do you like Guix(SD) then? or is there something else as an evolution of Nix and NixOS that you imagine?

edef: I intend to credit you for (indirectly) reporting the issue, is that okay and if so would you prefer something other than "edef from #nixos on freenode"?

justanotheruser:I think the release notes have something about this
<tdeo>
if you get this to work, i could try to make it a nixos module and make a PR so you'd be able to do something like `hardware.digimend.enable = true;` in the future

If a Nix file foo.nix starts with something like `{ stdenv, cmake }:`, you can build it with `nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).callPackage ./foo.nix {}'`

not something i expected to hear :D its great to hear it though! guess ill have to start cutting back on the complaints ,P <djanatyn> the manuals for Nix, NixOS, Nixpkgs, and Nix Pills are fantastic <djanatyn> the package and option search is also really great!

oh I remember.. that was something gnome3ish... Can you check the user journal? (journactl --user)

no, you probably want something like:

there is a nixpkgs hook called nukereferences or something (search for "nuke" and you'll find it) which does this, but destructively. you can take that idea and apply it constructively
<arianvp>
i wonder if you just accidentaly never ran into the letsencrypt bug or if something changed recently
<ambro718>
simpson: Maybe we could "wrap" by adding something to .ctors or .init_array elf section (I think it depends on the toolchain/cpu which is the relevant one).
<srhb>
jschievink[m]: There's also an option to copy configuration.nix (or something like it) into each profile, but it won't be able to follow all imports etc.
<__monty__>
ambro718: That could even fix a shortcoming. I think currently something that's used as an interpreter in a shebang, python for instance. Can't be wrapped because mac os doesn't allow shell scripts as shebang interpreters.
<AlexRice[m]>
is there a better way to find out if string x contains string y other than builtins.length (builtins.split x y). I feel I'm missing something obvious
<AlexRice[m]>
is there something like a .gitignore for nix-build so that changing some files doesn't cause a recompilation
<ambro718>
then we could just do patching of specific getenv() calls to do something else, not sure what yet
<aanderse>
gchristensen: ha ha ha don't worry about me... the timespan i have in which i can actually join something like that is very limited

How to rename boot option from generation N to something meaningful? I went to nix/var/nix/profiles but configuration-name file is readonly and empty. So I think there’s a way to rename using nixos-something —somehow

I'm wondering if there's some extra something I have to do on NixOS to get python SSL working?

infinisil: It depends on what's being propagated. I agree that, if it's something like Node.js, then that's not a viable plan; I wasn't thinking.
<AlexRice[m]>
jneto: does something like `cp {./path/to/file.desktop} $out` in postInstall or something work?
<simpson>
linarcx: Doing something like nixos-rebuild? AFAIK one must rebuild the entire system profile at once; there's not really a way to mix and match nixpkgs.
<iceypoi>
and also squashing, in case that's something you want
<sphalerite>
monsieurp: the problem that the state of nixpkgs's history causes for you is that merge commits mean something particular? \:|
<monsieurp>
sphalerite: merge commits mean something particular
<etu>
monsieurp: So do we, not all changes are based on the current HEAD, so a merge is needed to put it there. Unless the person merging also happen to rebase everything every time something is put in. But someone else rebasing other people's commits will break things like gpg signatures of commits etc.
<joebobjoe>
but it did something along the lines of these paths will be fetched (0.01 MiB download, 0.03 MiB unpacked)
<clever>
pie_: its more an issue of if the build succeeds, but did rng, so each user gets something diff
<pie_>
simpson, i didnt mean readability, i meant something else - im not clear on what either
<iceypoi>
because if I could get using something moderately hacky get home-manager work on WSL, that might already have quite an impact on userbase
<simpson>
iceypoi: No worries. "basically" is one of those words that people use to paper over understanding and communication by instead replacing a personal analogy which is more comforting. It's a risky word for indicating that you grok something.
<__monty__>
Depends on how it's logged. In the current session something like /last or /lastlog may work. Otherwise something like `rg '<.slabity>' .irclogs` might work.

I guess you might be able to argue udisks2 is fine and it's ... gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor or something that's hosed

<Netsu>
srhb: maybe I do so. But should asked first in case I miss something obvious

xorAxAx: did you use journalctl to read the logs? or something else?

hm. probably something wrong with my Qt environment. Are you using plasma desktop?

i imagine something that replicates the derivation closure and instructs the other machine to build, in order to use RAM and storage space
<gchristensen>
how do people manage their wireguard keys w.r.t. nixops? do you use deployment.keys, or make it live on the device, or something else?
<gchristensen>
lassulus: have you found something else to be true?
<pie__>
but isnt something like callpackage special? i think it carries scopes within itself?
<__monty__>
pie__: I'm using it from self, no reasoning though and tbh it sounds like something you'd use from super. So probably simply ignore this.
<cdepillabout>
jomik, I'm trying to get all derivations that are dependencies of this project we have at work. So I have a `default.nix` file in the current directory that builds our project. I can get all dependencies by doing something like `nix-store --query --requisites $(nix-build ./default.nix)`. I'd like to get a list of all the licenses.
<srhb>
dfordivam: (If you _really_ need to automate it, I'd recommend something simple like a oneshot system unit that ensures this, rather than messing with mount options, but I guess it depends on your use case) :-)
<cdepillabout>
Is there a way to (easily?) get all the `meta.license` values for all the dependencies of a derivation? For instance, given a list of dependencies generated by something like `nix-store --query --requisites $(nix-build)`, I'd like a list containing the license for each dependency.
<etu>
But I don't know how that software works, never used it. Maybe they had separate binaries before and merged it to use arguments or something.
<parsnip>
there was a reddit solution for something similar where they went with sudo nix-channel --update, but that seemed to bork things, so i reinstalled
<srhb>
yuken: You will be writing something like that, pointing the source to whatever local place you have the source/font files at
<aanderse>
eh? you mean adding something to that "breaks" disabledModules?
<gchristensen>
catern: you'd be better served by something more like jenkisn or buildkite
<aanderse>
assuming i did something wrong
<gchristensen>
so the next thing is a cron to run it, and it'll only rebuild if something changed.
<tomberek>
catern: Hydra can do this, or if you want something more mainstream, TravisCI, sr.ht, and others can run Nix for builds.

We don't have something like Haskell modules, where all top-level definitions are to be used

<pie_>
so yeah what if we just made haskell or something prototypes for a bunch of stuff
<pie_>
I mean I guess we could manually make something
<pie_>
actually....i guess you could just have that derivation be an input to something else and just import its outputs
<pie_>
i feel like its kind of hard to half-ass something with nix...depending on what youre half-assing

does nixpkgs have something akin to ubuntu's build-essential package? specifically something i could `nix use` that would automatically give me commonly expected build tools like gcc, make, etc, without needing to name multiple packages in most cases

yeah but path literals at least you use if you need something pulled into the store right?
<pie_>
I think there was something else too but I don't remember what

Unless you have concerns that something oddly breaks on stable

I have machineA and machineB, and I'm nix-copy-closure'ing from machine A to machine B. machine B has a special cache which machine A does not have. I'm copying something whose closure is already in the special cache. will machineB substitute it all, or will machineA copy files over since machineA doesn't have the special cache?

am i missing something vital with the 'eval' input type with hydra? to get evaluation time down and eliminate some duplicate builds, i switched one of my git inputs over to a previous hydra evaluation and now the noop evaluation take just as long as the ones where i would have had git changes upstream.

pie_: I think the reason might be something like, functions from lib could be used do define the overlays themselves
<samueldr>
the thing with markdown (and equivalent systems) is how they're watered-down html with mostly 1:1 mapping (when they're defined well), meaning that yeah, you won't have a tagsoup to cite+ref a manpage, but have to do the hard work of making a link yourself and to _something_
<infinisil>
Ohh also something else: We don't even have proper syntax highlighting in our docs
<infinisil>
pie_: Sure, but if we want to have semantics in our docs, we need to use it for something, otherwise it's just unnecessary
<pie_>
infinisil, this is something thats a lot harder to add after the fact than to have it to begin with i think? :/
<infinisil>
Because if we don't use something, there's no point in keeping it.

Alling: Good question, something everyone seems to struggle with : ) I don't have a good answer.

Alling: if you want nix to respect the version bounds, then you need something like stack2nix, and then youll have to recompile nearly all haskell packages
<Izorkin>
I do not use apache, so I can not test something
<basvandijk>
Alling: the problem is you are including .ghc.environment.x86_64-linux-8.4.4 in your source code. Apparently GHC takes this file into account. nix-build will then fail because builds are executed in a sandbox where /home/alling/.cabal/store/ghc-8.4.4/package.db doesn't exists. To fix this filter this file from your source code with a function like sourceByRegex or something similar.

MichaelRaskin I'm not sure what "fixed-output" refers to, is that something that'll be in the manual?

I would try to use something like inotifywait for the infinite-loop part… Otherwise checking source changes can become expensive. (Alternatively, you can ask the VCS for the latest commit, of course)

why would fetchurl in a derivation be calculating a different sha256 hash than nix-prefetch-url? I must be confused about something because I've now tried two different github tarballs and nix-build is complaining about mismatching hashes for both

infinisil: for the digital ocean image, I added something that would write the user data to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, like the Amazon image does.

gchristensen: Change Nix to allow setuid binaries in the store, or something along those lines
<Unode>
and plan B it is, can't tell if the missing lib is a local issue or something else
<Unode>
infinisil: so seems like something still failed, the final binaries aren't static. More digging required. Now trying a clean build just in case
<Unode>
infinisil: yeah, just saying that I don't have it here. I often miss something like nix-index in a https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html like form
<pie_>
siraben, well maybe they're compiled with different dependencies or something
<pie_>
unless i inadvertently messed up something else
<pie_>
sphalerite, man now i have to pay attention to whether im trying to override something in a let with a with :/
<rnhmjoj>
it doesn't look it. is it something new?
<rnhmjoj>
is there something like perl.withPackages to use in a nix-shell?
<shatsky>
Hi! I'm trying to debug an issue in nixpkgs.OVMF pkg. How can I use path from nixpkgs tree in a local nix expression, something like "OVMF = callPackage ../applications/virtualization/OVMF { seabios = null; openssl = null; };" which can be seen in all-packages.nix ? I want to see how what store path will it produce with altered args
<ajs124>
Did you search github? Maybe there's something on there, about your specific apps. I used to have some problems with qt programs installed in userenv, but since you're not doing that, no idea.
<rprije>
I see. So you're saying something is failing to pass the config correctly during a nixpkgs import. Maybe you're right, I'll see if I can find that.
<sphalerite>
jomik: hm, can't seem to find my use of newScope, but I think your toplevel nur expression could look something like `{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }: let callPackage = pkgs.newScope self; self = { foo = callPackage ./foo.nix {}; bar = callPackage ./bar.nix {}; }; in self`
<jomik>
Is there a pretty way to expose my packages in my nur-repo to the other packages in it? Can I do something like `callPackage p { pkgs = pkgs // pkgs';}` where pkgs' is an attrs of my nur packages?
<parsnip>
should i add something to `users.users.alice = {` block or a users.group.alice variable?
<wolfman154>
I have no nvidia just something intel graphics card that came with my laptop
<slabity>
Again... `desktopManager.session` will work... Is there something I'm missing?
<wolfman154>
I’m trying to change the settings so my laptop screen doesn’t turn off when I’m watching a video or something like that?
<nh2>
slabity: I usually use `NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=/path/to/nixpkgs nix-something ...` instead of `-I` but I think it _should_ do the same
<infinisil>
samueldr: While you could use `options.foo.definitions` and `options.foo.declarations` to get where the option is defined and to what value, any attempt to set the option itself to something depending on that will lead to infinite recursion (most likely)

Is there any way to compile packages on a different machine? I'm building a NixOS system for a Raspberry Pi 2, with armv7, and it's been rebuilding for days now. Can I shift the build load onto another machine with cross compilation or distcc or something?
<NemesisD>
hi folks. i'm hoping you can prevent me from doing something possibly very stupid: i'm trying to write a derivation for conda, a python package manager. the installer has a prefix option that installs the bins in the given dir at build time. the problem is that its also the runtime storage for installed packages. this means that the output dir may be modified after build time, which seems impure/a bad idea?
<gchristensen>
yeah, you might need to nuke references or something
<dsx>
Is it me or dockerTools.buildLayeredImage is a bit weird? I have this https://pastebin.com/GZnn6tk1 as default.nix and this https://pastebin.com/FqZckJdF as hyperkube.nix, and when image is bein built I see that it gets go_1_12, gcc and perl as its layers, which is definitely not something I expect.
<alj[m]>
Im guessing it somehow doesnt find the nixpkgs or something like that
<jomik>
What's the best way to use a package in my nur repo? `yarn2nix = (callPackage ../default.nix {}).pkgs.yarn2nix;` must be something better than...
<eacameron>
Is there an easy way to do something like nix-shell -A drv -p more-things and-more
<jomik>
What about something like `from autocomplete import Autocomplete`, autocomplete is a local thing.
<jomik>
Tbh, I don't really understand how this works - I get the output in something like `lib/python3.7/site-packages/screeps_console`
<sphalerite>
jomik: if it's just for yourself, you can just always run it in nix-shell -p python or something
<b1000101>
gchristensen: does boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-amd" "kvm-intel" ]; virtualisation.libvirtd.enable = true; suffice or do I need to add something else?
<Shouou>
manveru, using `sudo` does sound like something I've done -- how do I resolve it?
<Taneb>
boogiewoogie: unless you've got something very complicated going on, I don't think so, you can just install Steam pointing to that Git tree
<mabel>
something like config = { connectionString = ...; }
<mabel>
I have something like a database hostname, and I'm building a connection string out of it
<sphalerite>
something like nix-env -f channel:nixos-19.03 (or channel:nixos-unstable, depedning on what you're using) -iA steam
<nh2>
yeah no idea why it isn't working, maybe they have disabled something critical in the kernel config to get faster boot
<gchristensen>
ofborg has a long way to go before it could do something like replace hydra, but yeah there is no totally central, unshardable component
<simpson>
Yeah, we need a whole-Internet transformation, and if we're going that path, then something holistic like NDN is going to be even more practical than IPFS.

Vskilet: If IFD is acceptable (it's not in nixpkgs) you could use runCommand with something like remarshal and importJSON
<JonReed>
gchristensen: I was just curious. Mostly for cases when you first install something via `nix-env` and then want to put it `configuration.nix`, but you forget last package you've installed for forgot to add in configuration.
<delroth>
I'm rebuilding something bigger right now (bash)
<AlexRice[m]>
related question, if {a.b = x} is syntactic sugar for {a = {b = x}} then is {a.b=x; a.c=y;} syntactic sugar for {a = {b=x; c=y;}} or is there something else going on
<gchristensen>
or something like that
<sphalerite>
`python.override {foo = bar;}` just returns something that you can use instead of `python`
<selfsymmetric-mu>
I know YAML doesn't have it but I was hoping we'd learned something by now.
<cransom>
that's also something you should also address :(
<siraben>
Something Tor Browser related then?
<siraben>
Something looks awry with pycurl
<ggpeti>
pie_: could you be more specific? Surely there is "something"
<pie_>
is there anything for compiling nix to ansible or something
<Synthetica>
nefix: Something like `sudo nixos-rebuild -I nixpkgs=/home/synthetica/devel/nixpkgs/ test`
<gyroninja>
or even something entirely different
<ivan>
wolfman154: it's either in the DE settings somewhere (cursor theme) or something like this in ~/.Xresources

sevanspowell, if it doesnt exist you could probably write something yourself
