LnL: yeah, thats part of where iohk ran into trouble, hydra would GC something, and then for 30 days, anything using the cache would fail hard, because the cache says it exists, but it doesnt
<Arahael>
clever: I'm thinking that the sweet spot for a pragmatist developer is to use something like Debian or Fedora - with nix packages.
<Arahael>
clever: I'm surprised that the nixos package doesn't do something like that by default. :/
<clever>
Arahael: probably, something like the steam-run chroot may help

kyren: looks like something worth filing a bug against nixpkgs, but you can use my example as a work-around

<ddellacosta>
or would the suggested approach rather be something like (if I'm talking about just some scripts) using bash as the base and then overlaying custom scripts on top of that?
<ddellacosta>
rather than a one-off package I add to the root profile or something uglier like hard-code paths into my configuration.nix file, I figured it would be cleanest to just keep my own private repo of custom scripts
<tilpner>
So I probably did something wrong
<lunabo>
Ah at least it doesn't rebuild every time I add a Python package, then it's something I can live with :)
<ottidmes>
equivrel: just tested on my desktop, same command gives me no renames, so it much be something additionally being done in your config
<ottidmes>
sakalli_: you, or some program, probably wrote some stuff to /etc/cups, while NixOS also wants to symlink to that path, probably something like that
<equivrel>
srk: ok, so I guess the issue is that the hetzner backend is trying to do something like this, but doesn't do it quite right...
<equivrel>
Hi, I think there's something wrong with how the nixos installer (or possibly nixops) handles systemd's "predictable interface names"
<softinio>
so I am following this guide to add more vim plugins to nix: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Vim if you look at the add plugins section it mentions editing /vim-plugins/vim2nix/additional-nix-code this does not exist. Anyone know if this has changed to be something else or how I would use the last bullet point in that doc?
<Myrl-saki>
Well crap. I just found something that works on qemu-system-x86_64 but not on qemu-kvm.
<symphorien>
something like "sed -i s/linux/linuxefi/ /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
<Twey>
deltasquared: On NixOS you can use environment.systemPackages, but without NixOS I don't think there's a good way to install something for all users
<dramforever>
Try something like nix-shell -p zlib
<simpson>
deltasquared: Is that what you tell me or what you tell you? It sounds like you have time for lots of custom scripts and services, something I don't really have time for.
<deltasquared>
idk if that's something I'd have to recompile my kernel to include
<dramforever>
I think this too: 'something tells me nix is trying to do something that requires root permissions to isolate builds'
<__monty__>
cmacrae: I don't think so. I think maybe your expression needs to explicitly say it needs the path like with `mkdir $out; mv libmpv $out/lib/libmpv` or something. But as I said I have no experience with this so I don't actually know the proper way.
<deltasquared>
something tells me nix is trying to do something that requires root permissions to isolate builds
<cmacrae>
__monty__: Sure, thank you for your help anyway :) I appreciate it. Yeah checked the path, and the file isn't there. Wondering if there's something I need to pass to the mpv expression to say I want the library included in the output
<__monty__>
Maybe it needs to be propagatedBuildInputs or something? Considering you said python.
<cmacrae>
__monty__: Sure, that's fair enough. You make a good point, this is something I want for a Python project I'm working on, so it'd make more sense to express it in the shell.nix
<srhb>
__monty__: Then you were probably doing something that would recursively alter the hashes of a lot of things (through very base-of-the-tree dependencies, or maybe by modifying callPackage)
<__monty__>
srhb: I remember you recommending switching from overrides to an overlay for my ghcWithHoogle setup though. You said something along the lines of "You must be doing a ton of rebuilding because of overrides."
<__monty__>
dminuoso: Without --pure nix-shell doesn't clear much from the environment afaik. Do you mean nested nix-shells or something?
<kyren>
my plan is to create a systemd job just like that guide is saying to create a file in /dev/shm/ of something like root:mycustomgroup, then add my user to mycustomgroup so that I can read / write to it
<bpye>
Which if I'm not being dumb is something only root can do
<clever>
something might be in a weird state
<samueldr>
(had misconfigured the added drive and didn't want to deal with booting a previous generation which would dirty up something I was getting rid of)
<acowley>
An annoyance with this challenge is that the build tends to keep going past errors only to fail much later rather than quit at the first sign of something being wrong.

clever: so would pkgs.haskell.lib.justStaticExecutables be something to include in the nixpkgs import clause?
<symphorien>
something like export PATH=$(extra-utils-for $(id -u)):$PATH

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 {}'`

something like that

das_j: Oh nice, das_j++! There are a couple more secure defaults, but yeah something like that. Ping me if you open a PR :)
<therealwaphire[m>
anyways, I think I've messed something up in my nix system
<ottidmes>
zduch4c: yeah so the list you give acts like the whitelist, alright, you can do that, let me write something
<zduch4c>
ottidmes: something akin to that, I want to exclude all packages from a list I give, but that list being modified to whitelist the stuff I want
<zduch4c>
nevermind ottidmes, I based my knowledge of let on Emacs Lisp which works differently, so it didn't translate. What I want to do is something (in pseudocode) akin to (let ((packages pkgs.gnome3.optionalPacakges)) (remove x from packages) (remove y from packages) ... (set environment.gnome3.excludePackages to packages))
<adamt>
therealwaphire[m: Your IRC client is doing something wonky
<noonien>
symphorien: hmm, i can't tell what libredirect does, it appears to have something to do with LD, the app i'm trying to install doesn't need any .so, the deb actually comes with an openvpn binary which i want to replace with the openvpn derivation, and some text templates which it needs and has hardcoded the path for them as well
<noonien>
i was wondering one other thing, is there a way for a package to create something in /var/lib during instalation?
<CMCDragonkai>
simpson: That maybe true for somethings. But it does appear things like coreutils and findutils are just part of the stdenv, that we assume when writing `runCommand`.

if you fetch that in your config you can do something like

hyperfekt: There is something weird going on. After renaming nixpkgs to nixpkgs-unstable, I get this error from nix-shell:

<therealwaphire[m>
I get a `attempt to call something which is not a function but an integer, at /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`
<hyperfekt>
Yeah, I'll ask there. I thought it might be something NixOS specific since that doesn't seem like behavior that one would call 'normal'.
<johanot>
srhb: will dive into it in a momemt. Must be something that exists != 0 in the --all invocation

2019-02-21 18:16:47 < LnL> I think we have something now

I assume --daemon won't work without sudo, or is it something else that was throwing it?

and you select which library you want to install something into
<iqubic>
clever: How hard would it be foe me to set up something like that for myself.
<camsbury>
but if I put that bit of text in the default.nix... I can then install the file from my github repo using the fetchTarball and mkDerivation or something?
<camsbury>
so it is downstream from the pkgs sets or something?

Last time I heard you talk about music you mentioned dwarf metal, so something that sounds like dead goblins isn't really a surprise :P

reallymemorable: But I don't think I have enough information to really help a lot. I can vaguely handwave that if you're using git directly from within your build, you're likely doing something wrong. You probably also want builtins.fetchgit for private repos.

reallymemorable: something that ghci-backend is doing involves calling fetchgitPrivate somehow
2019-02-19
<reallymemorable>
is that something i add to configuration.nix?
<ottidmes>
reallymemorable: going down that route you likely only increase your issues eventually. Its like just forcing something with root, while it ought to be done with the user, but because you are tired of trying to get it right, you just opt to sudo it, forcing it along. It sometimes works, but more often than not it will cause other problems in turn
<ferdek>
symphorien: that explains it ;) so if I understand correctly, having the Nix itself (running anywhere, say debian for instance) I theoretically can build my own rootfs without systemd and with musl (something like NixWrt project I stumbled upon), but NixOs itself does not support this due to systemd?
<das_j>
I could also think of something like systemd.servicesDefaults.serviceConfig where each service is //ed on

phizzz: I'm sort of guessing here, but.. you run a kubernetes node on a nixos virtualbox guest? Depending on how networking is setup in virtualbox _and_ in kubernetes, you might be able to do something like: "ip route add <pod-cidr> via <virtualbox-guest-ip>"

Hmm you mean you want something like ${if isNull $src then "" else "--profile $out/etc/your-name.con"} ?
<immae>
Do you have something like `/run/wrappers/bin/firejail --is-conf-valid some-name.conf` ?
<disasm>
reallymemorable: I frequently git grep nixpkgs clone if I want to see if something is already supported in nixos :) You can also man configuration.nix and get all the options it supports (it's long)
<disasm>
reallymemorable: yeah, declarable configuration is what makes nix so powerful. If you need something that's not in nix, you don't want to try to install it the way their site says to, you want to build a derivation that does it the right way using nix.
<immae>
then, I guess you want to run something like `/run/wrappers/bin/firejail --config some-name.conf` ?
<blumenkranz>
immae: Well, I can't check whether they did something bad, but I would like to check whether they did something wrong, like listing a non-directory as input. However, I want to be able to match a series of user-inputted commands to their hypothetical profile files.
<immae>
blumenkranz: if I understand correctly, you build a derivation, where some of the input is "user-given" and you don’t control it, and you want to check that the user didn’t try to do something bad?

hi, it's me again. I'm having trouble getting stage 1 of NixOS to boot on my cloud provider. I tried both the generated hardware-configuration.nix which used UUIDs and my own by-label config.

Actually I'm probably confused about the problem I have. Some of AMD's newer code wants to query the current system hardware at build time.

if I want to keep one package as it was before applying my overlay (otherwise I would get infinite recursion), what are my options?

By the way, since Manticore has a few scripts with #!/bin/bash, can I, like, symlink /bin/bash to /usr/bin/env bash or something in shell.nix?

Is this function something I could use to build my own image? Or is it not really intended for public use
<Nivpgir>
OK well, I did that, and something went wrong with the file system, files started getting corrupted, so I formatted everything and now I'm installing again, I'll report back tomorrow, thanks!

<growpotkin>
dellacosta: because the haskell packs are in a separate list it's easy to pass them to haddock or something.
<growpotkin>
I just use that little shell for most things haha. I only really use cabal2nix when I'm packing something
<Nivpgir>
BTW if I just run nixos install from arch again, will it work? Or will it ruin something?
<ottidmes>
since neither have something akin to curlOpts for extra argumetns
<sb0>
srhb: okay, yes it's in this logfile indeed! doesn't explain why netcat failed though, could be something silly...
<sb0>
I can't get hydra RunCommand to work - the commmand is simply not executed (no output in any log AFAICT, and also I tried having a command that sends something to a netcat server - nothing was received)
<dramforever>
I'm probably missing something here, but if it's a software change, have you tried booting in to a previous generation?
<sb0>
when a hydra runcommand command prints something, where is it displayed?
<dramforever>
Something like this: put {= A2 + A3} in A1, {= A3 + 2} in A2, {2} in A3
<dhess>
dramforever: I suspect that has something to do with the `self` in this case not being evaluated eagerly.
<DrLambda>
is there a way to make curl use http/1.1 or something like that?
<wedens>
clever: `nixos-rebuild test` builds a configuration, doesn't it? or do you mean something else?
<sb0>
clever: I changed the git URL to something wrong, and hydra just doesn't care. it looks like it's not even accessing the url.
<clever>
sb0: try changing the url to something "wrong" then change it back
<ottidmes>
hmm, which is not something I can assume, since it supposed to be a general tool
2019-02-16
<sour>
yeah but should I install something in particular for those x11 lib headers?
<mek42>
timokau[m], ah, ok, ty - i must have misread something somewhere, but it looks like they are close
<jomik>
sondr3: I'd be happy just getting SOMETHING in nix-shell. But I can't even get bash, because my .bashrc contains that `exec fish`
<sondr3>
and hope that something there might give a hint
<bhipple>
iqubic: Running something like this will show you everything that the Nix steam has access to: /nix/store/ahdc9szapygwlx29ayl03960wmcp3yc8-steam
<sondr3>
I'm really enjoying it but when something doesn't work as expected it's stupid hard to fix lol
<bhipple>
mek42: yes; it's very robust once you get it setup, but the platform-specific binaries is a little hard to figure out at first, unless you're doing something common like mac/linux/arm
<mek42>
hmmm... with nix could I do something like if intel cpu use intel math library, elif amd cpu use amd math library to keep the same config across my amd desktop and intel laptop?
<mek42>
I'm playing with nix in a Debian WSL. I'd like to start a Jupyter notebook server from this WSL. Should I install (specify?) Jupyter from nix, anaconda, pip, something else? (I really hope a bunch of newb questions are ok)
<bhipple>
I've found the physlock systemd service, but I don't see where to configure it to do something like "lock after 10 idle minutes"
<MichaelRaskin>
Well, if something assumes writeable installation directory, it already can in any case
<MichaelRaskin>
Maybe via something akin to firmware load
<jomik>
Have I just misunderstood something? I don't recall having this issue when I didn't have my .bashrc start fish up..
<jomik>
Hey, I have a bit of an issue with nix-shell. I can't seem to get it to actually install/load any packages. I run `nix-shell -p zsh`, and a new fish (my shell) starts, with an error about something with fzf keybindings, and zsh is not installed in the environment.
<delroth>
seems like something is ignoring the shebang and running the perl script in bash instead
<ottidmes>
oldandwise: or something like: nix eval --json '(let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in with pkgs.lib; filter (hasPrefix "gcc") (attrNames pkgs))'
<romildo>
Something like:
<rembo10>
Did something happen with building python applications? For some reason sickgear can no longer find cheetah. It's passed like this: pythonEnv = python2.withPackages(ps: with ps; [ cheetah ]);
<Myrl-saki>
Did I do something?
<Myrl-saki>
Is there a Nix way to generate a NixOS image without resorting to buildCommand = "nixos-install" or something similar?
<sphalerite>
jomik: or something more specialised like concatMapStringsSep, since I imagine you'll be generating some sort of code to render the menu?
<jomik>
Can I do something other than `elemAt list 0`, when the index is constant, i.e. like "normal" list indexing `list[0]` ?
<aanderse>
the only reason i haven't entirely given up is that your comments are really useful and i feel like i'm learning something :)
<samueldr>
(I got a build building, but I'm thinking something's not right if you don't get a failure with your pastebin'd code)
<dsx>
docker network create -d ipvlan […] fails to do so with «Error response from daemon: plugin "ipvlan" not found». Am I missing something? Because docker 18.09 documentation states that ipvlan is/should be available.
<colemickens>
Do I need to do something beyond adding `sqlite` in a nix-shell ?
<jpo-joyent[m]>
i just want something to bootstrap trust with
<jpo-joyent[m]>
i don't mind starting with an old version or something if there was a signed release of it at some point
<noonien>
if i interrupt nix while it's compiling something, will it resume from where it left off?
<iqubic>
Something like nixos-build-iso or something.
<symphorien>
you may need to use qt5.qtbase of something like that
<NemesisD>
i guess i don't know how to get the path of that python binary inside of a shell or container if the one that's referenced by `which python` isn't correct. i'm not a python expert but it seems like setuptools or something is shelling out to `python` which is python 2, the stack trace starts out in python2.7/site-package/site.py and moves into python-3.6.8-env
<yokyolu>
im missing something
<hodapp>
has anyone else run into this cryptic issue I'm seeing, in which having IPv6 enabled (I guess) causes something that leads to an endless storm of ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED in Chromium?
<ryantrinkle>
i just bumped to the latest nixos-18.09, and it looks like something has changed about how shebang lines are processed by the kernel? it's very strange
<timor>
Twey: Hmm, so you mean like if the program does not use something like `cp -p` internally, and I can modify the umask of the process somehow, the copied file will have the "w" bit set?
<camsbury>
looking into using overlays, but struggling currently to find something that works
<ottidmes>
the module system is just based on normal Nix data, its just interpreted in a certain way, so as long as you produce something thats confirming the expected data formats, it works as expected
<srhb>
kisik21: If your laptop is big enough to rebuild just that, you could merge it locally on top of unstable or something :)
<jomik>
Yah, but I think that nm-applet somehow handles auto connect? Or I guess GNOME/KDE adds something else as well..
<Yaniel>
try using that font in notepad or something
<Yaniel>
you could try something like running notepad in wine with the same font

If I've defined overlays in a default.nix, is there a way for me to also utilize the overlay from a shell.nix? I was hoping to do something like (import ./default.nix).env but that doesn't work
<ddellacosta>
also I have no idea if it would be considered good or not but I find this C++ pretty readable, which is something considering I haven't touched C++ for more than a decade
<clever>
tilpner: it lets you get the path of something, without it counting as an input
<laas>
oh does it read the entire source tree or something?
<ikitat>
What's a good strategy for developing private packages against nixpkgs? Something like Nixpkgs Quick Start to Adding a Package, but for something you don't intend to push upstream.
<Baughn>
Well, this sounds like something I can fix.
<wedens>
srhb: I'm not a big fan of NM. I've used netctl in Arch, but I can't find something similar in nixpkgs.
<tilpner>
Something appears to be missing. Take your time :)
<sicklorkin>
something seems borked.. anyway.. thanks for helping
<ottidmes>
callahad: ah, I just checked, I would go with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/audio/audacious/default.nix the buildEnv is not really appropriate for libs, its OK for applications, because it would not require massive rebuilds (i.e. nothing would depend on the app itself, unlike with a lib). An example of an application doing something plugin based is:
<dramforever>
callahad: Maybe you want something like buildEnv { name = "my-imlib2-0.2.whatever"; paths = [ imlib2-webp imlib2 ]; } ?
<ottidmes>
callahad: An union is possible with buildEnv, but I think in this case you just want to merge imlib2-webp into imlib2, maybe by default, or if there is any reason to make it optional, behind an enableWebp or something
<callahad>
I was thinking I could maybe do something in a postInstall hook for imlib2, but that doesn't seem right. I think what I want is a union of the output of imlib2 and imlib2-webp
<MasseR>
Hey guys. We just spent something like 3 hours to have a coworkers darwin-machine ready for developing our haskell-based executable, until we realized that our local test environment is on a linux machine on virtualbox
<ottidmes>
callahad: not that I ever packaged such a thing myself, but I'd imagine you make it install to $out/lib/imlib2/loaders/ rather than ${imlib2}/lib/imlib2/loaders/. Do you do that installation yourself, or is it doing that itself with the gist you showed? If you do it yourself, try just changing to $out (they should merge folders when installed), otherwise you will have to patch something to configure it to
<Taneb>
sphalerite: ooh, I didn't know it was, like, something I can run
<Guest11311>
I would expect this config to block incoming requests on ports 80 and 443 since they are not explicitly listed, but I can access them without issue... Am I missing something?

<instantepiphany>
clever: https://pastebin.com/1mVadv2y - so my understanding is the build succeeded, but in switching to the new derivation something, somewhere, failed. What now?
<lejonet>
Hmm, if I want a interface link to be set up, but no IP assigned to it, would I just create a networking.interfaces.<name> with an empty ipv4.addresses or something to achieve that?
<bbigras>
Is there a filter command or something that I can use with `src =` to include only some files from the current folder?
<samueldr>
my two best assumptions are that either the package assumes it can write system files somehow, or there is *something* missing from the packaging that makes it work, but not entirely
