with nix-portable, I run to this error constantly? It only works after removing that SQLite db and rerunning the command. It works for that and after that, it brakes again.

Warning: error: SQLite database '/home/sofie.halenius/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v5/1949a4522cacf242ae0214bb74551b06a8e090aa1bd5dea2d29d82433hade202.sqlite" is busy
It's just contention on that specific DB, nothing specific you can do, it's a warning not a fatal error
18:44:32
@ghpzin:envs.netghpzin It is written to `~/.config/mimeapps.list` by default afaik. 18:44:53

Ah true - when I look in there I've got:

text/plain=/home/jlc/.local/share/applications/codium-14.desktop;

[Default Applications]
text/plain=/home/jlc/.local/share/applications/codium-14.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/discord=vesktop.desktop
18:46:41
@jlc:catgirl.cloudjlc Okay - it looks like it gets correctly added to mimeapps.list (I checked by trying to add a .blend file, but that the filechooser can't then read this list even though it wrote to it. 18:48:34

@jlc:catgirl.cloudjlc * Okay - it looks like it entries get correctly added to mimeapps.list (I checked by trying to add a .blend file as a default assoc using dolphin), but that the filechooser can't then read this list even though it wrote to it. 18:50:26
@jlc:catgirl.cloudjlc Hmm. reading this 18:53:37
@jlc:catgirl.cloudjlcSo much hassle for a file browser. Well, the KService Package doesn't seem to have been it.19:02:35

Mkay, I have found a solution:

thunar = {
      enable = true;
      plugins = with pkgs.xfce; [
        thunar-volman
        thunar-archive-plugin
      ];```
    };

standalone alongside niri, a wayland WM
Is this the xdg menu issue again? I.e. does it work if you add kdePackages.plasma-workspace to your packages?

Well it kind of is an error if it just locks up afterwards (due to not getting the lock), which actually does happen here if I understood the question correctly?
20:29:15
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAh, I didn't catch this20:49:56
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldstein

hi! is it expected that builtins.fetchTree doesn’t work with non-file URLs? e.g.


nix-repl> builtins.fetchTree "github:NixOS/nixpkgs"
error:
       … while calling the 'fetchTree' builtin
         at «string»:1:1:
            1| builtins.fetchTree "github:NixOS/nixpkgs"
             | ^

       … while fetching the input 'file://github:NixOS/nixpkgs'

       error: file not found
22:25:59
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldsteinif so, is there a way to properly resolve a flakeref URL from Lix? (either fetch it or convert it into a proper attrset flakeref)22:27:03
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius
nix-repl> builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs"
{
  owner = "NixOS";
  repo = "nixpkgs";
  type = "github";
}
22:28:57
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldsteinthat works, thanks!22:29:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnp22:29:35
@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl) yep, so builtins.fetchTree (builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs") works or "github:NixOS/nixpkgs" |> builtins.parseFlakeRef |> builtins.fetchTree if you have the experimental on 22:30:04
@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl)btw, the docs do claim that string urls work so uuuuuuh, we need to fix the docs or the command22:30:29
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldsteinyeah, that’s why I was confused22:30:45
@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl)

Fetches the tree specified by the attribute set or URL spec.

22:30:47
@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl)I am going to file a bug for it now22:30:59
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldsteinit works in CppNix, but the code for fetchers has diverged pretty far22:31:27
@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl)I'll mention you in the bug okay?22:32:07
@goldstein:tty5.devgoldsteinyeah sure!22:32:53
