Charles | to be clear people weren't pissed off at anyone in particular, it's just annoying that this is possible in the first place while some clients simultaneously make it impossible to view the timeline of spaces so they can't see what's going on there. not your fault really | 00:38:07 |
zillion | It says home-manager https://github…release-24.11.tar.gz nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11 | 00:40:43 |
Charles | well there's your problem | 00:41:24 |
zillion | 'Sorry for the delay: I'm on my phone, so I'm copying by hand. | 00:41:25 |
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.
