i definitely think that it should just fail if the tz doesnt exist. something like cat /share/timezones | grep “${sys.timeZone}”

Let me see if I can figure out something to do about this..
<trikl[m]>
I finally got something building this morning, phew
<gchristensen>
hyper_webirc: fwiw I'm not invested in you using zfs or ext4 or whatever. I really think something is wrong with your RAM
<gchristensen>
dude, your computer has something wrong with it
<tilpner>
Where would I propose such a change? Just the issues? Is there something like this already?
<clever>
otwieracz: once cl-curl is packaged, you should be able to do something like nix-shell -A lispPackages.cl-curl
<gleber_>
makeWrapper is something 100% nix-specific and not interesting for your use case

Okay, but if I want to *distribute* something in Rust, we're still a few versions behind stable in nixpkgs

Ran a `nix-build` (from a shell script) on macOS which gave me a `result` symlink as usual, but when I try to `rm result` I get a Permission denied - is this a bug or am I missing something ?
<neonfuz>
and should I take the warning in the hardware config seriously? Will something ever overwrite that file?

I’ll just be sad if have to go update all sorts of ancient LLVM versions next time something like this comes along :)
<dtzWill>
for something like this it seems reasonable, but I'm not familiar with tools that let such be reasonably scripted
<clever>
mmts: you may want to fix the python in pygrub, since nixos-rebuild will put the double-slashes in every time you change something
<mmts>
clever: I can run it with a manually created grub.cfg, but that's not a permanent solution e.g. with updates. Therefore either I've missed something or it's missing in virtualisation/xen-domU.nix ?
<nwspk>
I'll check if I forgot something
<gchristensen>
LnL: if len(searchers) == 0 { return nil, false, nil } maybe something like this
<LnL>
or something like that
<ocharles>
Idris gives that support by letting you specify something is partial (a notion of "fuel" for guarded recursion )
<srhb>
saf_spa: I'd just go with the default of 32 and nice things if I need to do something else while building

LnL: «guarantee something is finite» is a more complicated notion than we would prefer…

I need an excuse to use dhall for something.

I feel like there's some story waiting to hatch like... NixOS user namespaces or something, where a user can activate parts of the nixos configuration managed by them, in an unprivileged manner.
<clever>
something got changed recently and its a bit wonky
<xd1le>
for example, via nix-instantiate or something?
<ekleog>
Moredread: something like disabledModules = [ "foo/bar.nix" ]
2017-10-07

hmm, the vm doesn't have to include all of x11 for testing, so could very well be really low-ram :) then, for something like what you're trying, switching to your local nixpkgs is enough :)

drakonis: please to put a positive comment on RFC 12 (like “when is this landing” or something similar), I don't really know how to push it forward more :) (I have a working implementation of almost-the-text-of-the-RFC -- actually, of the text of the RFC before it underwent some slight modifications --, so implementation shouldn't be too slow to come :))

i wonder if something like SmPL/coccinelle (works with C only) is applicable to nix. but I'm not into that language-kinda-stuff
<moet>
is a system-level directory something that i can configure powertop to have in its environment?
<drakonis>
when you need to rapidly modify something that's in root
<drakonis>
at least have something like overlayfs for this kind of situation
<drakonis>
you can't do something off the beaten path
<Drakonis[m]>
a system to handle it or does something else do it

there is something between "being a corporate sellout" and "being an artsy obscure hipster"

Why is selling oneself something to strive for?

because something as good as Nix should have much wider recognition

the whole design is so clean and straight it could use something to break it up a little
<moet>
sphalerite: though, at boot, the module is not loaded.. i guess i should configure it to be loaded by configuration.nix or something

I'm trying to figure out a decent way to setup a debian chroot or container on nixos. has someone done something similar?
<infinisil>
Hmm, now how do i unblock this ip, i could just write youtube support or something
<iqubic>
infinisil: Why do you use xmobar over something like dzen or LemonBar or something else?
<srhb>
It would be glorious if they'd blocked cloudfront or something :-P
<srhb>
wilornel: You can do something like that with nixops for sure.
<wilornel>
but I was never able to find something proper
<wilornel>
I remember doing weird things in bash scripts to try to get things set up on my machines. Trying to get services running, trying to install pacages, trying to set up dotfiles. I've many times thought "I should not be reinventing the wheel here, because I think this issue is solved by something"
<wilornel>
that's something I was looking to do
<srhb>
No, NixOS containers are something different entirely. Check them out in the manual. :-)
<LnL>
maybe it was something else
<wilornel>
it looked like home-manager was telling me to try to start gpg-agent.service using systemctl. Maybe something else was telling me that?
<wilornel>
gpg-connect-agent seems to have started something
<TimePath>
because I set something which made the binary cache not viable
<prietoj>
May it have something to do with the fulldisk encryption?
<MichaelRaskin>
It does have something to do with simultaneous-addition merges in DVCSes.
<srhb>
Oh, something works.
<MichaelRaskin>
Probably you need to configure something about cache location. And add that cache location to the list of paths allowed inside sandbox.
<srhb>
Hmm, I don't think I'm using the ccache thing right.. Do I need to do something more clever than just replace stdenv with ccacheStdenv?

In France, you can speak in something remotely similar to French and people will understand and try to use simpler phrases so you don't run out of your vocabulary.

I'd expect something like this with a broken nixPath or something, but with a fresh install, I don't see how that could happen...
<otwieracz>
BUt it's trying to download something!
<srhb>
It might contain something else, but it should not contain a directory named the same as your channel (nixos)

Weird. It does output something if you don't grep, right?
<hyper_ch>
or is nftables-snapshot something different?
<infinisil>
This happens quiet often, that once you do something horrible, you panick and make it even worse

I'm trying to build something using autotools and ./configure complains that it can't find "shtool" and I'm not sure which package to get it from. Also is there any more "correct" way to install autotools other than to just add them all manually? (autoconf, autobuild, libtool, etc.)
<steveeJ>
infinisil: did you get the gist of labshell's use-case while you looked at the code? are you aware of something that already exists to extend nix-shell in this way?
<catern>
is there any good method for doing a nix-copy-closure or something like that from an Ansible playbook?
<Mic92>
kuznero: I can't name you any, maybe you can look at the git history. If you think you need something, you can contribute.
<Mic92>
kuznero: I am not aware of something, nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/dotnetfx40 generated manually I think
<kuznero>
Mic92: I couldn't find corefx at all as a package in nixpkgs. So, I thought it was never there... I guess it would be nice to try to do something similar to what is there for Haskell packages for different ghc versions.
<cransom>
it would be dependent on something have asked for and gotten a dns reply. if that doesn't happen, it would never proceed.
<infinisil>
yeah something like that

ah yeah, i remember something about nix checking the length with stat
<DiThi>
also I lost connection for a while, not sure if someone said something
<DiThi>
am I missing something obvious?
<steveeJ>
I'd test the system thoroughly, it sounds like something else is wrong
<infinisil>
hyper_webirc: I mean for debugging, because if the same setup works without crypto, then the crypto broke it. If it still does'nt work, you're probably doing something wrong yourself
<infinisil>
ij: Because this doesn't work if you set the NIX_PATH to something other than the default
<infinisil>
This seems like something clever could give more info on

so that maybe something could nudge me in right direction
<akavel[m]>
I.e. a new/different CPU architecture or something like this
<akavel[m]>
@all: did anybody have success defining a brand new cross-compilation target in nixos and building something for it?
<gchristensen>
did it break something?

(Careful people not under duress preferring CLI would obviously use something less glittery, like FreeBSD or GNU/Linux)

sphalerite: bind-mount .nix-profile to something local?
<sphalerite>
Can anyone think of something I might have missed?
<avn>
nh2: well, sometimes top parent of x session is not usually a WM, sometimes it something third. (I abused it, when implement kiosk -- session quits when main app quits)
<Dezgeg>
but there's no need to do that unless you write something invalid to nix.conf since everything can be overwritten with --option on the command line anyway...
<goibhniu>
savage: is it something that would be worth adding to nixpkgs?
<fusion809>
Hmm, well it gives you a long list but I wanted something I could actually query. But I suppose there isn't something like that for nox? Besides, of course, searching the GitHub repos
<MichaelRaskin>
A Debian package would need to first get an ACK for non-FHS-friendly /nix/ directory… Instead of /opt/nix/ or something.

<Moredread>
nixy: yes, also downloading a tarball, just to try something out will not work as on other distros

otwieracz: I've been running nixos as my main desktop OS since may and I'm very happy as an ex-arch user. I'm in the process of migrating my server(s) to nixos, e.g. as I had massiv issues with keeping my gitlab install uptodate. With nixos I'm much more comfortable, to try a complex setup again, as I have yet to encounter an issue where something really broke, while I constantly had to tweak my ansible/docker
<otwieracz>
Does it changed? Is this possible to have some overlays, or something?
<otwieracz>
But there was something wrong about it and in result it was not used at all.
<alp>
yeah worst case you could use something like "use-package" in your emacs config to have emacs itself install your favorite packages if they're not installed yet.
2017-10-04
<alp>
that would get emacs and the emacs packages through nix, but it's probably the easiest way to get to something that works
<csingley>
You might want to name it something other than "nixos" unless you want to upgrade the whole OS to unstable
<glaebhoerl>
I get the feeling that for some reason it still wants to use the old channel or something, is there anything I could've done previously to cause that? and/or any way I can check if that's the case? (I did see it downloading the 17.09 channel, multiple times, and it's there in the list, and the hash seems good, so presumably that's not the issue...)
<glaebhoerl>
the fact that it's for all 3 of the new ones makes me suspect it's not just some coincidence and I might be doing something stupid, but right now I can't see what
<moet>
i'm looking for something maybe more minimal, but just thought i'd ask in this channel
<cement>
something I had to do was nix-env -e vim

maiksen: Should just be to format as msdos partition table and use grub or something, that works for me on systems that doesn't support uefi

BTW: You have _no_ idea how hard it is to drag something to boot that's kicking and screaming… NixOS ISO won't boot on MacBook because f*ck you so after many failed attempts with other Linux ISOs (ArchLinux being my favourite but also failing) I booted Ubuntu to install GRUB on hard disk to boot OS X from CD to make it the boot default to be able to load the NixOS USB key manually via this GRUB.

catern: «nix-store -r» normalizes the argument more than you could expect. And prints the result. And if something is already in store, realisation is a no-op (although with some DB reading)

<infinisil>
or am i missing something
<sphalerite>
It's just that if the nix isn't there on the target machine you can't use nix on the target machine to get nix on the target machine! You have to bootstrap it somehow, be it through a tarball or rsync or whatever. Either way you're copying something over
<obadz>
and some closure of something? or just Nix?
<infinisil>
rycee: I kinda really need it is the thing. I need something to write my notes with (want to use org-mode), i need some IDE-like thing to learn Rust, the same for Idris (whose emacs support is great, and I've used that before)

catern: you could make your own tarball, ive done something similar in my kexec tool

tokudan[m]: that's not the right solution but it's just a starting point - i don't know who invokes llvm-config but you could try to track that by running the build phases manually or something
<roni>
tokudan[m]: to really hack it, you could experiment with using nix-shell to drop into a build environment, then look at LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something
<Judson>
clever, it seems like I want mlocate to be meta.priority = 10; or something.
<roni>
tokudan[m]: i assume the clang lib files are supposed to be somewhere and maybe your build environment just didn't ask for that location or something
<roni>
i wonder if it's masking or something

Oh, right. I do recall that. Something about your xmobar config being wrong.

iqubic, I am also getting those, saw something in here recently mentioning it isn't important
<AllanDaemon[m]>
I suppose something like adding the package name in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` with some set like `{featureX=true}` or `{version='the.version')`.
<iqubic>
Is there something else I'm missing?

Eisfreak7: In principle it shouldn't be too much work to get something minimal up and running though. Mainly to create a NixOS module that can use the Home Manager modules as a submodule within the `users.users.<name?>` namespace, tweak nixos-rebuild to also build the Home Manager generations, and add the HM generation switchs to the NixOS activation script.
<tilpner>
Eisfreak7 - I have something like that, implemented with an overlay
<Eisfreak7>
In my configuration.nix, I have something like `let unstable = import <unstable> {}; in { nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; environment.systemPackages = (with unstable; [ spotify ]);`. However, nix still won't install spotify because of its unfree license. Why does the setting not apply for the unstable channel?
<bennofs>
gchristensen: i think that vuln was not something special to NixOS or something that applies now, but an example of the kind of other vulnerabilities that can become exploitable only in the presence of SETUID binaries
<lejonet>
Yeah, but setuid can be replaced my caps, which is easier to police, thus if something can use both, I prefer them using caps to cover the area they needed the setuid for
<emanuelez>
LnL, disasm: btw.. I'm running this from within the nixos/nix docker image... maybe that has something to do with it
<v0lZy>
something I'll need to get my head around... I like the nix abstraction but I also like to know where things are under the hood
<hyper_ch>
v0lZy: each packages gets a /nix/store/[some hash thingy]/ path automagically... if in that path you create then a $out/bin path and put something in there there, it will the be symlinked from /run/current-system/sw/bin/
<v0lZy>
how can i then configure it with configuration.nix file... I imagine i have to somewhere define that something = enable is a boolean, and that it means to write 'something something = true' or whatever in some config file somewhere?
<v0lZy>
archlinux has pacman -Ss something
<hyper_ch>
the idea is I don't want the active server to write something onto the backup server in case some script got mixed up etc...

ah.... that's something totally different :)

(But repartitioning to something bigger wouldn't be a bad idea, longterm)

Also infinisil_ can I clone your fork of home manager and try out the xmonad module? Do you have a guide as to what options are availible? Something like a man page would be nice?

infinisil: strange. I'm not sure how to check this, but something may be opening an unreasonable amount of sockets to pa?

Also, the throw should be something that a surprised user copy-pastes into IRC and everyone immediately goes asking «so what command did you run to evaluate the entire NixPkgs and what you wanted to achieve»

Is Docker something that could allow me to get into a standard linux environment where I could install and run robustly any software that I still haven't found a way to get working on NixOS?

I feel like I'd usually rather the OOM killer eat something than have my laptop hang up due to swapping
<infinisil>
hmm, i saw something like this, but i have no idea how to do taht
<infinisil>
but yes, firefox sync server is something nice
<hyper_ch>
as said, the syncserver is something that ff has over chromium :)
<hyper_ch>
start display-manager something
<ocharles>
ok, this one seems to be doing something
<srhb>
Probably want bs=2M or something as well
<catern>
using nix-prefetch-url or something else outside the sandbox?
<sphalerite>
or you could do something like nix-shell -p '(import ~/nixpkgs2 {}).lua52Packages.cjson.shellHook'
<sphalerite>
fearlessKim: nix doesn't expand the ~, so you need to use something like -I nixpkgs=$HOME/nixpkgs2
* goibhniu
has no experience, but would love to get something that will work well with NixOS
<iqubic>
How does that differ from something like .vimrc
<hyper_ch>
(except when they break something with a new release)
<joehh>
I'd like to be able to do something like stdenv.system in nix-repl

Mic92: one moment, noticing something else that seems off
<joepie91>
Mic92: I copied changes selectively, not sure if I might have missed something
* joepie91
feels like he's forgetting something
<joepie91>
(I feel like I'm overlooking something very obvious here)
<adelbertc>
nah, Kubernetes just doesnt seem to like the tarball. at least not with my naive way of trying to get it to do something
<clever>
yegortimoshenko: nixpkgs does other things that youll loose if you override buildPhase, like -j handling and something else
<nixer>
Can anyone tell me how to use nix build in 1.12, I just want to run something like "nix build ./nixpkgs -A gerrit", but the -A flag is unrecognized.
<detran>
mount claims that it's mounted at /mnt/boot, but there's nothing there. should there be something there?
<joepie91>
at best you could have something like `makeBundlerWrapper $out/share/msf/$i ${env}/bin/bundle ${ruby}/bin/ruby`
<joepie91>
Mic92: any chance this Nix-binstub-generation code could be abstracted into something like a nixpkgs library function? I don't know if the workings of Ruby stuff are consistent enough for it to work the same everywhere
<mpickering>
I am trying to install "nslookup" which should be in the "bind" package, typing "nix-shell -p bind" doesn't make nslookup available, am I doing something wrong?
<ocharles>
mudphone: that happens when you `nix-build` something
<mudphone>
apparently they are the result of `sudo nixos-rebuilt test`... is this something I can safely remove?
<etu>
And if you're on a live-iso I guess you have to do nixos-install or something like that
<richierich_>
etu: after adding this line can I just restart? or do I need to do something else
<clever>
bulldog: oh, and double check pkgs/all-packages/python something
<sellout->
So, I recently saw something about setting up shellAliases like `"stack" = "${pkgs.tree}/bin/stack --nix";` so you don’t need to have a package pre-installed for the alias to work.
<boomshroom>
Did something with Steam change without the manual getting updated?
2017-09-26
<Infinisil>
or something like that
<lejonet>
with fudging with pam or something own built?
<VLetrmx>
Am I missing something?
<yegortimoshenko>
i see, thank you gchristensen, LnL, i'll see if it is, and if it isn't, i'll see what i can do... perhaps it's just a timestamp inside .jar or something like that
<ertes-w>
err, for some reason my NixOS QEMU guest can't start X11: no suitable screens found… am i missing something? i did not configure services.xserver.videoDrivers
<bendlas>
S0rin: just running curl to download something should trigger it .. let me verify
<S0rin>
awi_2: And the override section in you config is not the not sure exactly what it exactly override in the end try something more spectific
<Judson>
Something very wrong when Nix lives and dies by clever's presence :)
<Judson>
Something about callPackage?
<joehh>
is there something "standard" I could be missing?

<eacameron>
bgamari: Hm. I'm not sure then. IIRC I've seen something like this before too but it's been too long to remember what I did
<Denommus>
pie_: one of the reasons git was conceived was to prevent something like BitKeeper from happening
<Sonarpulse>
should I be able to use NIX_BUILD_HOOK=false or something
