 qbit | lel, same result | 14:16:30 |
| qbit | so i guess the underlying nix install is busted? | 14:48:00 |
 ocharles | Very vague one but maybe someone here can help... I recently (a month ago maybe?) saw a project that I think was some kind of alternative frontend to nixos-rebuild that showed version changes for apps that were upgraded. Does that ring a bell to anyone? | 15:36:58 |
 K900 | nvd? | 15:37:48 |

| ocharles | K900: This looks like it might be it, yea! Though I swore I saw it on GitHub | 15:40:48 |
| ocharles | Maybe it was mirrored there though | 15:40:57 |
| hexa | check the snippet though 😄 | 15:41:05 |
| ocharles | Yea that is cool :) | 15:42:11 |
| qbit | ya, reinstalled nix and now it seems to be working | 15:42:32 |

| qbit | crap | 16:42:21 |
| qbit | mm, HEAD of lix builds fine | 17:52:12 |
| qbit | maybe i should just switch to that | 17:52:17 |
 ToxicFrog | So, running into an issue with imperative, per-user packages
Something that invokes the command-not-found handler results in messages saying to, e.g., use nix-env -iA nixpkgs.vim.out to install vim
Actually running it says that it can't resolve nixpkgs
$NIX_PATH includes nixpkgs=/etc/channels/nixos, but I gather that only works for <nixpkgs> and not for whatever nix-env is doing
So what am I missing here? | 18:51:17 |
| ToxicFrog | nix-env --install vim also doesn't work, and it seems like it should based on the man page. | 18:52:00 |
| ToxicFrog | nix-env --dry-run --install -A nixpkgs.vim as root instead gets me error: profile '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default' is incompatible with 'nix-env'; please use 'nix profile' instead | 18:57:17 |
| ToxicFrog | Ok, after some experimentation, it looks like what's happening is that that user's home directory doesn't include a nix-profile | 19:07:55 |
| ToxicFrog | So nix-index displays the nix-env commands rather than the nix profile commands | 19:08:08 |
| ToxicFrog | But nix-index still uses the flake registry or something to find the packages | 19:08:22 |
| ToxicFrog | So it tells the user to install nixpkgs.vim even though there is no nixpkgs channel on this machine | 19:08:36 |

|  Emma [it/its] joined the room. | 05:27:11 |
| Emma [it/its] | 👋 lix/i686, should i expect it to work or not? | 05:32:59 |
| Emma [it/its] | main reason im wondering is that it feels like lix is faster than stock cppnix | 05:41:40 |
 V. 🏳️⚧️ | That is correct | 06:22:04 |
 KFears (tragedy arc) | Made my first proper CL to Lix yesterday 🎉 | 07:22:10 |
| KFears (tragedy arc) | But sheesh, C++ feels so hard after you've used modern languages | 07:22:35 |
| KFears (tragedy arc) | Maybe it's my setup (VSCodium with Clangd plugin), but Clangd LSP feels pretty barebones | 07:25:03 |

👋 lix/i686, should i expect it to work or not? The main branch currently doesn't build on 32-bit platforms due to a bug. | 08:51:40 |
| Emma [it/its] | ah :c | 10:14:31 |
