| oh, not even in mainline | 12:35:59 | |
| ah, https://sqlite.org/hctree/doc/wal2/doc/wal2.md | 12:37:23 | |
| https://sqlite.org/src/file?ci=wal2&name=doc%2Fwal2.md is the one for the wal2-only branch. | 13:16:24 | |
| I do not mean to ship this, it's more a quick experiment to see whether or in what ways a better database may help. | 13:17:31 | |
| Not that I expect wal2 to be perfect either, a client-server database might offer some advantages in terms of write amplification, but of course it's a pain to manage. | 13:18:43 | |

Anyone got an idea what error: cannot change ownership of '/nix/var/nix/b/5i50qd60sib1gcpvdmbrr667pd': Invalid argument means, and what i could do about it?It happens on one of my machines any time when i try to build a package that actually needs building (not cached). /nix/var/nix/b is drwxr-xr-x root root like on my laptop, where the error is not happening. | 01:18:21 | |
| i found the problem: containers the other computer it fails on is a lxc container the container only has 16 bit UID and GIDs because of that it fails to chown :872415232 /nix/var/nix/b/5i50qd60sib1gcpvdmbrr667pd: "Invalid argument" | 04:23:39 | |

Are you connecting from outside the container? Also what exactly are you doing, that ID looks suspiciously like one assigned by auto-allocate-uids but that should be about the builder uids, whereas the whown should happen to the requester uid. | 05:16:19 | |

| I have problem | 07:31:38 | |
| ❯ ulimit unlimited | 07:32:01 | |
| This is on the daemon, presumably | 07:33:03 | |
| Is there any way to fix, i cant switch | 07:47:21 | |
| Are you running some sort of "hardened" setup? | 07:47:34 | |
| no | 07:55:23 | |
| https://github.com/Aijokey/nix_configs# | 07:58:41 | |
| you can build without the daemon the system | 09:23:41 | |
In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.orgHow? | 09:24:02 | |
NIX_REMOTE=local <your command that rebuilds your system> if that respects environment variables | 09:24:18 | |
| but i'm more concerned that you are reaching open files limit with the daemon | 09:24:30 | |
what does systemctl cat nix-daemon show? | 09:24:38 | |
In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.orgFor now I can't access pc, no electricity | 09:25:13 | |
| No problem, let us know when you can access it again | 09:25:31 | |
| OK | 09:25:40 | |
i am on lix 2.93.3 and tried to setup a remote builder following https://docs.lix.systems/manual/lix/stable/advanced-topics/distributed-builds.html and https://nix.dev/tutorials/nixos/distributed-builds-setup but it failes with this message in the systemd log of nix-daemonDec 08 03:27:33 silent nix-daemon[20189]: error: error processing connection: user 'nixremote' is not allowed to connect to the Nix daemon | 11:11:49 | |
can you do nix show-config on the remote system? | 11:18:49 | |

yep i had auto-allocate-uids enabled | 11:23:16 | |
