 jlc | Hmm. reading this | 18:53:37 |
| jlc | So much hassle for a file browser. Well, the KService Package doesn't seem to have been it. | 19:02:35 |
| jlc | 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? | 20:26:07 |
| aloisw | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
It's just contention on that specific DB, nothing specific you can do, it's a warning not a fatal error 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 | Ah, I didn't catch this | 20:49:56 |
 goldstein | 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 | if 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 | nix-repl> builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs"
{
owner = "NixOS";
repo = "nixpkgs";
type = "github";
}
| 22:28:57 |
| goldstein | that works, thanks! | 22:29:31 |
| raitobezarius | np | 22:29:35 |
 helle (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 (just a stray cat girl) | btw, the docs do claim that string urls work so uuuuuuh, we need to fix the docs or the command | 22:30:29 |
| goldstein | yeah, that’s why I was confused | 22:30:45 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) |
Fetches the tree specified by the attribute set or URL spec.
| 22:30:47 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | I am going to file a bug for it now | 22:30:59 |
| goldstein | it works in CppNix, but the code for fetchers has diverged pretty far | 22:31:27 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | I'll mention you in the bug okay? | 22:32:07 |
| goldstein | yeah sure! | 22:32:53 |

| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Like, is there a way to add an addional variable input to the derivation? | 13:54:55 |
 K900 | Again, it is complicated | 13:57:07 |
| K900 | I can't give you a premade answer | 13:57:14 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | well, yea
isnt ther any occurances of this in nixpkgs?
| 13:57:32 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | for example | 13:57:34 |
| K900 | Not that I know of | 13:57:39 |
