Is there any way to mutate something in /nix/store to fix this ?
<gchristensen>
it is okay! I get in to the same mode sometimes, especially with something new to me.

gchristensen - You could always ask support, if this is something you care about: support@hetzner.com . Would you just tell them that there's demand, or do the work for them (as far as possible)?

Something like that, stack new doesn't work with an existing dir though

It seems that I can't sign in to Github using my Yubikey on NixOS. When I insert the key the error message "Something went really wrong". I'm using Chromium, and there isn't any problems with an similarly configured Chromium instance on my Fedora machine. I've checked open issues on Github in the Nixpkgs repo, but it seems that there isn't any reported issues with it.
<ldlework>
like if you try to say this data file should be installed into /usr/share or /etc or something
<srhb>
I assumed you copied it there during installPhase or something?
<Enzime>
think it has something to do with OpenGL but I'm not sure if it's a slop regression or NixOS regression or mesa regression

something in my config is causing it to black screen me

[21:25:25] <samueldr> you could realistically, instead, add `services.xserver.displayManager.plasma5.enable = lib.mkForce false` and make sure at the top of configuration.nix `lib` is in the parameters (something like {pkgs, lib, ...})

previous efforts (many months ago) I was able to get a nixpkgs checkout defined in the way I wanted, but couldn't figure out a convenient way to get it into NixOS. I think maybe I found out I'd have to modify or override https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix or something
<tilpner>
pxc - I have something close to what you describe, ping me tomorrow if you haven't found a satisfying solution
<pxc>
last time I tried it it didn't work the way I wanted it to or something, idr

srhb: yeah, I want something like that. How can I declare that in my NixOS config? I remember they used something like that at Lumiguide and there was some stuff on the NixOS GitHub about stuff to do with that

Something is clearly stopping weechat from setting the locale for some odd reason

hmm hunspell is really strange. It provides `libhunspell-1.6.so` so the name of the library is `hunspell-1.6`, but debian and ubuntu offer a `libhunspell.so` in its `libhunspell-dev` package, which nixos doesn't. I think debian and ubuntu do something strange here.

Hm I must've done something wrong to get on two channels, cause my nix-info says: `system: "x86_64-linux", multi-user?: yes, version: nix-env (Nix) 2.0.4, channels(root): "nixos-18.09pre149415.8395f9aa85e", channels(jon): "nixpkgs-18.03.133086.c1ef96ebdbd", nixpkgs: /home/jon/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs`

<acowley>
sphalerite: Hah! Well, that does work, except running something like `which locate` still returns findutils

acowley: judging from nix-shell source, it sources ~/.bashrc so if you do something like export PATH="$(dirname $(readlink -f /run/current-system/sw/bin/locate)):$PATH" in there that might do the trick

Currently I'm just doing { target.deployEnv = "container"; } for each, similar to what I've seen in the docs. This is my first foray into nixops, though, so I'm probably missing something.
<[Leary]>
elvishjerricco: runtime errors should be logged in ~/.xsession-errors; if you don't see anything there then the failure probably isn't logged. You can test it by doing e.g. `trace "xmonad test error" >> action` in a keybinding. If you're using `spawn` I think that discards any errors; you should be able to use something else to spawn and get output or log but I've never looked into it.
<Drakonis[m]>
wine should output something

Izorkin: if it's not something I'm planning on pushing upstream, I tend to use pypi2nix. Give it a requirements.txt and it gives you fairly good nix expressions for building it.
<ldlework>
I guess this is something that the python builder does >:
<mkaito>
the value of those attributes is the derivation that describes how to build something. so by referencing the attribute, nix will do the right thing.

<sphalerite>
the oracle jdk one doesn't allow automating the download or something like that which is why we use requireFile for that

Am I fine to put the script straight into $out, or should it be $out/bin/ or something?

<techieAgnostic>
im trying to learn to do a derivation. its for something real simple but once ive figured it out would it be cool to post it here to see if i did it right?
<srhb>
alech: At a guess, your application expects pandoc to be on $PATH, which is not something that propagatedBuildInputs will do for you. Perhaps take a look at wrapProgram and friends to make a small wrapper around the executable that takes care of this for you.
<srhb>
And how does configuring it work? Does it take a command line argument? Or do you want to override something during the build?

If a build succeeds without a sandbox, but fails inside a sandbox because it can't find 'g++', does that mean it has some (probably generated) files that refer to g++ when ideally they should have been substituted to refer to something like /nix/store/some..hash-gcc-7.3.0/bin/g++?

Xyliton: because something is passing -stdlib=libstdc++, which I'm guessing is a clang option

Taneb: You could write a second derivation that just runs the test. It can be fixed output and just output the hash of the source or something

Ah right, I'll just make it a timer though (e.g. have the bot say something max every minute)
<gchristensen>
how about make a list of people who have said something, and every time someone new says something, send the notice
<gchristensen>
infinisil: every 2-5min send a message to #nixos-unregistered: Hello! You've been sent to #nixos-unregistered due to the recent spam attacks on Freenode. Please register and identify with NickServ to join #nixos (/msg NickServ help). Sorry for the inconvenience! (I thought about asking something fancier, like the first time anyone says something, send it, but eh)
<inquisitiv3>
tilpner: Is that a derivate one need to install, or it something else?
<Mic92>
Has somebody nixos configuration for kubernetes that I can copy and paste to check something quick?
<fdietze>
Hi, is there something like a fold in the nix language? I want to iterate over a list and construct one set out of it
<srhb>
There's something really perverse about it -- but nice!
<sphalerite>
manveru: then you probably have an overlay or something which modifies it
<ldlework>
something is wrong here
<manveru>
but it's something i wanted to do for a long time, it's just not the nixpkgs convention atm
<srhb>
Something I can include in a configuration easily and start making changes. :)
<srhb>
I think we need this bundled up in something easily experimented with, I can't see the problem immediately.
<ldlework>
but something is not right with my own options as defined. I can't really read nixos tracebacks
<clever>
other code in the same file should use something like map to iterate over all values, and apply them to another config option
<sb0>
how do I install something from a local copy of nixpkgs?
2018-08-15
<clever>
but with linux, is it init.d?, systemd?, something else?
<LnL>
it's a rename in this case but same goes for removing something yes
<samueldr>
LnL: though, *other* than documentation, I feel there's still something that needs to be done proactively first and I don't know what
<sphalerite>
jiaew3: something like `cmakeFlags = ["-Dassimp_INCLUDE_DIRS=${assimp}/include" "-Dassimp_LIBRARIES=${assimp}/lib/libassimp.so"];`
<samueldr>
as I said: maybe overlooking something basic
<samueldr>
LnL: still genuine: why can't it be solved? (I'm beginning to think I'm really overlooking something basic here)
<sphalerite>
I think it also tries *Config.cmake or something
<samueldr>
LnL: for compat reasons, this is something I think already happend; backporting a new library function
<samueldr>
if you're using something at stateVersion 17.09, that "thing" using the deprecated version could still make use of it
<LnL>
using something similar to stateVersion would make sense I think
<sphalerite>
seems like something that could be part of nix really
<erickomoto>
Is there something in apt that would prevent it to install another package manager, or is it that people haven't been interested (people are busy with something else) in packaging nix in apt? (This is just me being curious, I can talk to who controls the admin account and see if I can convince them to install it regardless of the installation method)
<erickomoto>
Also, apparently my admin is ok installing nix but he wants something similar to `sudo apt-get install nix`. I am assuming this is not possible, right?
<bkchr[m]>
sphalerite: no, you are correct. Tested it on my laptop and it works. Will need to test it via command line on my rpi3. Maybe the bindings for rust doing something wrong.
<Xyliton>
I remember there being some hook I can use for that which can iterate over all deps or something and then append stuff to an env var, right?
<sphalerite>
I suppose I could hack something with nix-store -qR and some manual symlinking
<infinisil>
Xyliton: That would be something like `attrs: mkDerivation ({ buildPhase = "foo"; } // attrs)`
<Xyliton>
infinisil: I want something that wraps mkDerivation and sets some stuff as default
<Myrl-saki>
The boot.vfd could have been auto downloaded or something.
<worldofpeace>
It would also nice to have something somewhere clear the ambiguity of `nix-repl` and `nix repl`. An irc bot isn't consistent explainations :P
<clever>
something like this to start with maybe?
<Myrl-saki>
I think it's something more like `foo.buildInputs[0] != foo.buildInputs[0].out` that I encountered.
<srhb>
ldlework: It just seems that emacs knows nothing about it. Specifying the path to dash with -L doesn't help either. Clearly something is missing :P
<tinco>
srhb: should the directory just exist? I can make it and then chown it to myself, but I'm not sure why something is trying to mkdir it everytime I log in, when it's not supposed to be able to anyway, or should per-user be a+rw?
<tinco>
is that a mistake in my nixos config somewhere, or did I do something wrong and should I just chown something?
<ldlework>
srhb: don't we override something with emacsWithPackages?
<srhb>
probably based on the targetEnv or something.
<srhb>
ocharles: Somewhere in the nixops source tree there's something called.. eval-machines or something
<srhb>
Otherwise we've done something wrong.
<srhb>
The most trivial way is to just import it in the systemd-service or something. let sophos-wrapper = import ./youremacsthing { inherit pkgs; }
<ldlework>
i'm doing all this to just learn, elisp network services is a terrible idea; i just wanted to build something a bit bigger to practice out my elisp
