 cole-h | If you delete the receipt or move it out of the way, the installer will proceed. We just didn't want people to try to reinstall Nix to get a new version, and instead use eg nix upgrade-nix | 15:48:23 |
 Mic92 | Okay. I will see if I can find someone that used the old installer on mac, I don't want to replace my nix installation again, with this bad internet I got at the moment :) | 15:48:25 |
| Mic92 | cole-h: so we got this error: https://github.com/NixOS/nix-installer/issues/131 | 15:52:12 |
| Mic92 | 3: The keychain lacks a password for the already existing "Nix Store" volume on disk disk3, consider removing the volume with diskutil apfs deleteVolume "Nix Store" (if you receive error -69888, you may need to run sudo launchctl bootout system/org.nixos.darwin-store and sudo launchctl bootout system/org.nixos.nix-daemon first) | 15:52:23 |
| Mic92 | So is the user supposed to run these steps? | 15:52:52 |
| cole-h | Correct. I believe we found that this happens, we are unable to read the password out of the Keychain and thus will be unable to unlock the volume on restart. Without the password we can't change the password. | 16:02:20 |
| Mic92 | okay, it worked eventually. | 16:08:51 |
| Mic92 | cole-h: we started testing some more linux distributions and found small fixes being needed for archlinux/opensuse: https://github.com/NixOS/nix-installer/releases/tag/2.33.2 | 16:13:30 |
| Mic92 | Matthew Kenigsberg: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15201 please undraft, if you agree with our changes. Looks good from my side otherwise. | 16:22:10 |
 Matthew Kenigsberg | Added one small tweak "Thanks to Determinate Systems for all the investment they've put into the installer."
and marked ready | 17:08:44 |

 Solène Rapenne (she/her) | grahamc (he/him) niksnut I thought we said it could be possible to have access to the installer made by Ana, mkaito and me would like to get a look at it and help | 13:44:32 |
|  colemickens joined the room. | 15:08:58 |
|  Ana joined the room. | 17:55:26 |
| Ana | I found the room! Yay | 17:55:35 |
| Ana | We need to throw up a README then I think we can make the repo public | 17:59:59 |
| Ana | I've been a bit caught up in some other unrelated work, sorry | 18:00:33 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | hi! : | 18:00:44 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | * hi! :) | 18:00:46 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I suppose hoverbear = Ana ? | 18:00:54 |
| Ana | Yes! | 18:00:58 |
| Ana changed their display name from hoverbear to Ana. | 18:01:37 |
| Ana | The code is really rough, you're gonna hate it | 18:02:03 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I can't even read Rust ;) | 18:02:25 |
| Ana | Hahaha | 18:02:48 |
| Ana | Honestly I'd prefer we add mac support before we make it public as that is gonna churn a lot of code :( | 18:03:13 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | why can't you wait? | 18:03:49 |
| Ana | We can! | 18:04:19 |
