<samueldr>
on nixos fish uses a plugin (or something else third party if it's not a plugin) to load the environment from a sh-compatible shell AFAIUI
<samueldr>
it would at least ensure there isn't something keeping the environment active
<ajs124>
That way, the filesystem gets mounted, the first time something tries to access it.
<elvishjerricco>
It was only a big problem if you had multiple large, totally unrelated histories. But that's pretty common with something like fetchGit...
<cocreature>
epta: try something like (fetchgit …) + "/subdir"
<clever>
nix never allows a refernece to something which doesnt exist
<Lisanna>
Is there a one-liner or something to delete a store path and all of its referrers?
<pie_>
ugh, after some googliing i just discovered qemu doesnt like files on other partitions or something
<semilattice>
yeah that's something that I didn't add so no idea where it is
<mikky>
I've actually only seen the "don't swap to zvol" warning in a NixOS wiki page, dated "as of 2014-something"
<hodapp>
emily: I always viewed it as something like "stick a Windows partition there with 15 GB of horse porn, and make a *really* good act of pretending that that's what you're hiding"
<clever>
mikky: but once you format the disk, you only have one chance to get things right, and will need to reinstall something with the datacenter tools if nixos doesnt boot
<mikky>
for the moment there I tought kexec got new features like spawning a new container with custom kernel or something :)
2018-08-03
<mikky>
something like that, yes
<jasongrossman>
clever: That gives me something to work on. I'll report back later. :-)
<petersjt014[m]>
I got something roughly like `long blink - brief pause - quick blink - longer pause`
<samueldr>
:/ they changed the hardware without doing something like tacking a + to the name?
<infinisil>
Yeah something like that
<WilliamGHatch[m]>
cocreature: Thanks, maybe I will do something like that.
<cocreature>
WilliamGHatch[m]: maybe something like direnv would help you? although I have admittedly not used it myself so I can’t comment on how well it works
<WilliamGHatch[m]>
gchristensen: Hmm... that's what I was afraid of. I find using nix-shell every time I want to hack on something a pain... Is there no way to have stuff you are building in your home directory more dynamic with less of a hard-line stance on reproducibility and purity?
<Mic92>
there is still something weired going on in my system evaluation. I set config.systemd.package in my configuration.nix but the evaluation has still the default value in some places.
<samueldr>
ryantm: it seems something broke the build
<samueldr>
Mic92: whew, I actually thought I missed something
<SailorHaumea24>
<+SP9002_@efnet> so, he wants the win. so we're just gonna get lunch or something, then hes gonna push me to the ground and tap my ass with his foot so he can claim he "kicked my ass" tbh im going along with it becase I dont wanna lose any teeth
<samueldr>
btw, one use case is something like --keep SSH_AUTH_SOCK while keeping things as pure as possible
<thoughtpolice>
Then, in buildPhase, do something like `cc -o $out/bin/app ${pkgs.lib.writeFile "source.cc" sourceText}`
<thoughtpolice>
Right, so now move it to C++. Let's say `tires` actually gives you a fragment of a file. It can do this using something like builtins.readFile
<thoughtpolice>
For example, you might have like, a set of tires and you want to pick one. So you'd have a set of files, ./tires/{big,small,truck}.nix. Then you can have your ./default.nix do something like `{ tire-shape ? null }: let tires = import ./tires/"${tire-shape}.nix"; in ...`
<thoughtpolice>
So what you really want is: "I want to select the different components when I run `nix-build`and get an artifact of their composition". This means you're looking for a function, first off, since you want to vary the arguments. So maybe what you want is something like, have each component described in a Nix file, and import them based off the arguments.
<Taneb>
So I want something that takes arguments specifying which pieces to use, and put them all together and compile them
<thoughtpolice>
Yeah, and it's *only* the module system that does that. In practice that's fine, but occasionally you might do something like, import a .nix file directly and merge attrsets
<nly>
I have privoxy.nix containing 'extraConfig ="something";' then I have another caching-server.nix with 'extraConfig ="extra options";'
<robstrr>
Hey, I'm entering my haskell project with something like `(import ./release.nix {}).app.env` - is there an easy way to add more system libraries to the shell ? ie, adding a tool to the env?
<rain1>
it cant load a documentation file or something
<Myrl-saki>
Hm. Seems like I need to fix something on my side.
<Myrl-saki>
Welps, still doesn't work, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
<sphalerite>
to refer to it in your config you could do something like (import <nixos-unstable> {}).luakit)
<sphalerite>
other than that, not that I know of. You could hack something together from options.json (nix build -f '<nixpkgs/nixos>' config.system.build.manual.optionsJSON) and jq and fzf :D
<srhb>
(I do something like that, but I'm deluded)
<Myrl-saki>
srhb: Probably has something like `runCommand "ln -s ./. $out"`
<Myrl-saki>
srhb: Want to hear something more disgusting? Having a `default.nix` in the store path exactly so that you can do that. :P
<srhb>
Or buildEnv something that contains them
<srhb>
sphalerite: Perhaps you know something about rain1's problem? They have nix installed with a root of ~/nix but it seems to think that ~/nix/var/nix/profiles/... is in the nix store, so it's refusing to create gc roots there
<sphalerite>
nikki93: you shouldn't need to set the user shell manually unlessy ou want zsh or something. Make sure to set isNormalUser to true
<Myrl-saki>
I think I have to use nix-push or something.
<iqubic>
Alright... something isn't working here.
<iqubic>
So are there ways to have nix files print information to either the terminal or some file somewhere. I'm trying to debug somethings that aren't working
<samueldr>
:/ sorry, maybe I got something wrong with the overlay
<samueldr>
once the system is rebuilt and switched/booted, you'll probably be able to do something like emacs --version (if it answers to --version) or readlink -f $(which emacs)
<iqubic>
Something about putting nixpkgs.overlays = ... into my configuration.nix?
<iqubic>
How do I make emacs 26 the default? Do I need to do something fancy?
<iqubic>
Something like hoogle for haskell.
<kalbasit>
clever: that might work, well until the machine loses a disk or something :) I like git controlled stuff
<srk>
kalbasit: it means something is trying to use that option but you didn't provide it
2018-08-02
<infinisil>
coconnor: There's also symlinkJoin there ^^ And buildEnv also does something similar
<aristid>
so something else is going on? weird
<ivan>
is there any way to audit changes coming into nixpkgs? neither `tig` or `tig --first-parent -m` do something particularly useful (the latter because of how merges are done in nixpkgs)
<clever>
phry: i think your best bet is to do something like, linuxPackages = self.linuxPackages // { zfsUnstable = super.linuxPackages.zfsUnstable.overrideAttrs (old: { src = ...; }); };
<d1rewolf>
from root to something else?
<johnw>
or put it in ~/.nix or something and use an explicit path in .envrc
<maurer>
Usually people have multiple .nix files, and if there's a lot of duplication, give them a common.nix or something to import from
<thoughtpolice>
Also happens if your PS1 has something on the RHS for example like your CWD. But yeah the latency and mobile roaming are completely worth minor redraw issues
<sphalerite>
something like NIX_PATH=channel:nixos-unstable could work though :)
<thoughtpolice>
Because 99.9999% of anyone, practically speaking, is always going to have to make a patch for something.
<thoughtpolice>
Normally I checkout something into /etc/nixos/nixpkgs as a repository clone, keep that in sync, push everything upstream as much as possible.
<davidak[m]>
it should work, that's what i'm also thinking. but it doesn't. maybe i have done something wrong or something is wrong with NixOS :D
<TweyII>
I'll stick to nix-build, that seems suboptimal. Guess I could generate a unique tmp path or something
<iqubic>
clever: I found something else that works better for that.
<clever>
i think it opens a shell inside emacs, that auto-runs nix-shell, something like that
<clever>
either way, you have to find something to handle the ui and install it
<clever>
jasongrossman: id use either nixops or not-os for something like that
<iqubic>
Question: Can I do something like "nix-shell; echo $PATH; exit" in a bash script and have that echo the nix-shell $PATH, instead of the default $PATH from outside?
<cmcdragonkai>
Something like `let path = "a.b"; in { a = { b = 3; }; }."${path}"`
<drakonis>
blah i really needed to print something
<acowley>
It seems as though something like nox-review would be very good to have. It's a shame it isn't a more active project.

dtz[m]: or is it something else entirely
<dtz[m]>
sorry I really gotta go I just couln't NOT say something when I see "multicalll" and pondering argv[0] and such
<sviteri>
I assumed it was for purity of build reasons or something like that
<cransom>
does `nix-store --gc --print-dead` also include `unused links`? i'm hitting something where i'm making disk images and on a fresh image, i can nix-collect-garbage immediately on boot (or, nixos-enter rather) and it frees space, but claims to delete no store paths.
<matthewbauer>
vcunat: one thing the Emacs devs did for last release was ask users to proofread sections of the manual (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg00483.html). it might be a good idea to try something similar. could be helpful in nixpkgs by dividing up sections. mainly looking just for spelling, grammer, missing words, etc.
<domenkozar>

so wait I should track something like "gith://github.com/foo/bar.git" instead of "https://..."
<acowley>
samueldr: What you've done seems well thought out to me, too. But this issue with the desktop environment needing its plugins to be identical to those used by apps does sound like something that could be very awkward.
<joepie91>
like, you're not going to solve this just by writing a manual, it's something that needs ongoing ecosystem support
<Lisanna>
Akii let me write something in the wiki real quick...
<clever>
d1rewolf: you want to see what the child proccesses of nixos-rebuild and nix-daemon are with `ps -eH x` and find one that is blocked on something
<sophiag>
i try to keep mine on indefinitely whenever something like this happens since i'm likely to burn a couple days if it crashes
<gchristensen>
I'm core something :P
<tilpner>
nlyy - You could try something weird like nixpkgs.pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { system = "i686-linux"; };, then check again
<nlyy>
i must have missed something tilpner
<tilpner>
That might have broken something
<noqqe>
tilpner: uff.. I dont know. 16-something?
<infinisil>
carlosdagos: there's an option nix.maxBuildUsers or something like that, increase it to maybe 32
<samueldr>
tenten8401: put something wrong for bash to die on?
<clever>
abueide: i suspect that something might be wrong with the config, its been in there for a few years
2018-07-25
<iqubic>
I might have something else laying around.
<tadni>
tertle||eltret: Eluding back to the poor moderation bit, where if I can't have something everywhere it's hard for me to have/run it all technologically.
<tadni>
If I was doing Haskell or something, I think I'd jump right in -- but while there seems to be trivial support for an area of interest like Scala (sbt2nix), more I'm thinking about it now I might just be setting myself out to fail (or at least get quickly discouraged ...)
<tadni>
Okay, so I've been doing a lot of debating back and forth ... and really kind-of want to go NixOS on my independent-study/development machines (desktop and a laptop) to practically 'reteach myself programming' on/around the JVM. Should something like intellij work 'right out of the box' if I override the jdk to be jetbrains? Guess I'm trying to figure out if the trouble is "worth it" at this point of my experience.
<clever>
RetardedOnion: its plausible that its using cross-site scripting to connect to something like the freenode webchat from your ip, and then spam more
<mikky>
yeah, or some other way to boot something
<clever>
logzet: i think it uses something like ${out}-root as the rootfs for the build, with many bind mounts
<clever>
fresheyeball: then you need to change something to correct the failure, and re-run it
<ambro718>
(the reason is that I am cross-compiling something whose configure script would interpret these variables as cross-compile tools which they are not)
<gchrist`recovery>
something like eval $(nix-shell ... --run env)
<Ankhers>
I'm trying to come up with something that can test all supported versions for a lib I am writing. Something similar to travis, but I can run locally. Sure, one sec.
<infinisil>
Yea, I'll hopefully come up with something smart when implementing it
<srk>
infinisil: would need metadata in docs or something like that
<d1rewolf_>
is the wiki deprecated or something in favor of the manual?
<Taneb>
But I was hoping there would be something I could change in the commands grub runs (which I can do at boot)
<Taneb>
How can I edit the grub script thing to skip fsck'ing the disk? I've got something very dodgy going on
<Myrl-saki>
Time to turst `find` or something.
<srhb>
Should be testable by resetting it to something sane and rebuilding
<srhb>
It's like your accumulating all the hashes through some chain of bootstrapping the pins or something.
<tilpner>
Something is really broken about your system
<jD91mZM2>
Yep, trying currently to do something like `buildInputs = old.buildInputs`
<booglewoogle>
that includes a change of the NIX_PATH though, which from my experience isn't persistent? am I missing something?
<srhb>
booglewoogle: In pseudocode, something like this: (self: super: super.yourPackage.overrideAttrs (oa: { postInstall = ''echo foo > $out/share/yourpackage.desktop''; })) -- and then this would go in the nixpkgs.overlays list in configuration.nix
<|Leary>
If I have local source for a derivation in a git repo and I change branches, it rebuilds even when its already built the other branch before. Is it because something git is doing in src/.git/ is changing the hash? Is there an easy way to exclude those irrelevant changes so nix only hashes and uses the actual source files?
<clever>
but as soon as you want something more complex, i can see it getting to be a lot more complex
<d1rewolf__>
clever, ok, so I don't see it in the manual. Are we talking aboout a chmod or something else?
<tenten8401[m]>
I would use something like Ungine Superposition but I can't run it because of a bad interpreter
<tenten8401[m]>
Anyone here know if there are any GPU stress tests available for NixOS? I'm wanting to test a fan curve script but I can't seem to find something that really stresses it very well
2018-07-24
<RetardedOnion>
that is something else. simple=/=easy, misremembering=/=forgetting
<simpson>
RetardedOnion: Okay. I'm afraid that I can't reproduce, although I'm not on the same hardware, so I suspect that it's either your hardware or more likely something else also running in the BG.
<maurer>
You can export HOME to point at something else, that's where it's finding homless-shelter, but that makes me worried for what the actual application will do
<RetardedOnion>
andi-: i said "unbareably". so i mean click something, wait 20 seconds. ram usage isnt much better as well
<__monty__>
pie_: So you did something like nix-shell -p ghcWithHoogle {[gl]}?
<drakonis>
i mean, as long as it doesn't become something like "the arch way" which is some community stand in for "do everything in the most painful/time-wasting way
<cocreature>
growpotkin: try something like "nix-shell -p 'haskell.packages.ghc843.ghcWithPackages(pkgs: [pkgs.text])'"
<joepie91>
but it's a realistic possibility that something will steal Nix' thunder
<srhb>
lostman: Then your buildInputs probably was more like buildInputs = with pkgs; ... or something
<angerman>
tilpner: for reference I've done something similar to a jiffy box; and that was somewhat painful.
<srhb>
mkaito: Something like this perhaps: nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; (nixos {}).bootStage1}'
<joepie91>
presumably something is conflicting between stable and unstable stuff, idk
<clever>
samueldr: something else ive seen fail hard, is propagated user env packages
<clever>
elvishjerricco: something that may help is the defaults machine
<samueldr>
and now, to re-do a 20 minutes compilation because I forgot to do something
<samueldr>
tenten8401[m]: I might actually have something of a fix
<elvishjerricco>
Has something to do with git submodules though. Hydra was doing my submodules happily before I tried to update it :/ But the script that's failing seems completely unchanged.
<elvishjerricco>
Uh. So I tried updating my hydra version to something from master and got `/nix/store/mspgzdfmlxjs8pcbnhkhyfkz42wq8yj2-hydra-2018-07-07/bin/.nix-prefetch-git-wrapped: line 160: cd: too many arguments`
2018-07-23
<samueldr>
weird though, the "PATH=" fix should work, unless I missed something with unstable :/
<lutzmor>
samueldr: i do a reboot and start from scratch :) maybe i messed something up :)
<bkchr[m]>
Anyone online that knows something about logind and how it sets permissions for video devices?
<RetardedOnion>
or its something else
<d1rewolf_>
guys, I have a machine on which I need to adjust DPI. is the preferred way of doing this ~/.Xresources or something else
<rschmukler>
Hey all. I did something stupid (rm -rf ~/.nix-defexpr/channels/*) and now when I re-add the channel, nix-channel --update doesn't do anything (ie. ~/.nix-defexpr/channels/ remains empty)
<Profpatsch>
Complaining doesn’t help anyone though, that’s why I’m trying to get something nice running with s6
<RetardedOnion>
tbh, never had such problems where updates broke something so essential that i would consider it a "partial upgrade". just because i use an old quassel, my system wont break
<mkaito>
RetardedOnion: it happens when something blows up half way through
<etu>
RetardedOnion: Yeah, I said. And I was surprised that they haven't found something like that earlier.
<__monty__>
And here we are supporting something back to py2.6 : |
<samueldr>
what I'm thinking about is cases where e.g. you're updating something in nixpkgs, you cd ~/nixpkgs (or whatever) and then `nix-build -A attrpath` like `nix-build -A hello`
<samueldr>
yeah, my main issue with overlays at first was how I couldn't nix-env -iA some-new-attribute (for something that didn't make sense to be in systemPackages)
<samueldr>
so uh, either I'm doing something right or doing something wrong :D
<pie_>
so i messed up some overrides or something :x
