Charles | update to 25.05 and it'll probably work after that | 00:41:41 |
zillion | Yeah, how do I fix it? I've osed Nixos for about a week. | 00:42:08 |
Charles | curious how you ended up on 24.11 if you only started a week ago | 00:42:25 |
zillion | Ah! Will do. Thanks. | 00:42:29 |
zillion | Well, I installed a while ago, went to Japan, came back a week ago. | 00:43:18 |
Charles | ah okay | 00:44:12 |
zillion | Thanks! | 00:49:24 |

sorrel | question: how was the list of packages in lixPackageSets determined? there are a handful of other packages that depend on nix but aren't overridden with lix (including at least comma, nix-prefetch-github, and nixos-option) – is that because they need "vanilla" nix or something? | 09:40:35 |
aloisw | The depencies of Lix and nix-eval-jobs where first, then others were added randomly. | 09:56:49 |
Primrose (== Léana) | When trying to build lix using a remote builder (I'm on x86_64-linux and the remote builder is aarch64-linux), I'm getting the error "unable to start any build; remote machines may not have all required system features. https://docs.lix.systems/manual/lix/stable/advanced-topics/distributed-builds.html" However, I can't figure out which required system features are missing, how can I check that?
Thanks :)

Primrose (== Léana) | * (maybe I shouldn't build lix from source using lix's forge ?) I build lix using this overlay, the sources are pinned with npins to lix's source on lix.systems
(import (sources.lix-module + "/overlay.nix") {inherit (sources) lix;})
| 11:41:50 |
Primrose (== Léana) | update: I stopped doing that and use the lix in nixpkgs and now it works | 11:49:46 |

frequenta | Casual NixOS user here since a few odd years, barely know the Nix lang, didn’t package a single piece of software.
Switched to Lix, braced myself for the regressions, thinking lI’ll roll back immediately if anything important doesn’t work”, and it was seamless. Nothing broke, except a single program I built using a nix-shell script. Re-ran the script and it was fine.

Hello,
I have been having issues the past few months with using https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_DSI_LCD on Raspberry Pi 4 with NixOS.
I don't even know anymore what would cause libinput to not recognize the device?
I have imported all the modules and added
hardware.raspberry-pi.config.all.dt-overlays.vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-800x480enable = true;
# Do not edit!
# This configuration file is generated from NixOS configuration
# options `hardware.raspberry-pi.config`.
# Any manual changes will be overwritten on the next configuration
# switch.

K900 | I would highly recommend using mainline | 14:03:21 |
K900 | And not touching any of the nixos-hardware nonsense | 14:03:30 |
| tobiasvandriessel joined the room. | 14:03:50 |
hexa | yeah, it is fine to take inspiration from nixos-hardware, but I wouldn't import it in full 🙂 | 14:04:48 |
