 Grimmauld (any/all) | fixed my setup | 12:06:45 |
 axx | I am running Lix on Fedora Silverblue 43, i followed the instructions to upgrade to the latest (2.94.0) and while that worked fine, it also messed up things in such a way that i now get the following error when trying to run home-manager switch, for example:
error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused
| 12:18:01 |
 hexa | that means the nix-daemon.socket unit is down | 12:19:11 |
| axx | The systemd unit is not started, because it can't be seen by systemd: its selinux labels have been changed to unconfined_u:object_r:systemd_unit_file_t:s0 (instead of system_u:object_r:systemd_unit_file_t:s0). | 12:19:16 |
| hexa | ah, selinux | 12:19:36 |
| axx | however, even after fixing that and reloading the systemd daemon, i see that the nix-daemon.service can't access the nix binary. I'm running a restorecon -Rv /nix/store to see if it helps. | 12:23:01 |
| axx | It's relabelling tonnes of stuff | 12:23:27 |
| axx | I'm not familiar with the Lix/Determinate Systems installer, but could it be that it takes care of checking proper selinux labels on first install but not on upgrade? | 12:25:05 |
| axx | yeah, after recursively relabelling both /etc/systemd/system and /nix/store, everything works again | 12:26:20 |
| hexa | thanks for prodding at it. can you file an issue? | 12:28:07 |
| axx | yeah, happy to | 12:29:26 |
| axx | even more so considering this happened on past upgrades but the only "fix" i found then was to uninstall and re-install Lix, which led to all sorts of sadness when your shell is configured to extensively rely on home-manager and nix :) | 12:30:27 |
| hexa | https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/486 | 12:32:02 |
| hexa | axx: I think the issue already exists | 12:32:26 |
| axx | thanks! | 12:44:30 |
| axx | i'll add what i can to it | 12:44:35 |

| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | anyways, I need to figure out authentication tokens in a secure way in a nix build 😭 | 15:49:16 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | * | 15:49:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | I would even be comfortable even if it weren't backwards compatible with upstream Nix | 15:50:16 |
 Emma [it/its] | ...huh, does lix no longer report download progress on nix flake update? | 17:30:09 |
| Emma [it/its] | im noticing a lack of status bar completely | 17:31:10 |
| Emma [it/its] | also re the announcement, does that note about flakes in vNext mean the UX/commands will be changing, or will it be invisible to users? | 17:40:48 |
 K900 | Nothing confirmed yet | 17:42:09 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | how,, can I override an package so I could do
{ arf = "meow" } without having to copy the whole package defination from nixpkgs and change it?
| 18:00:36 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | * how,, can I override an package so I could add my own option to it
{ arf = "meow" } without having to copy the whole package defination from nixpkgs and change it?

| 18:01:17 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | then I could use it in the override and could call it with like
package.override { arf = "arf arf :3"; someOtherVarThePackageAlreadyHad = "..";}
| 18:02:01 |
| K900 | You can't really do that easily | 18:04:46 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | what about,,, non easily | 18:04:58 |
