 Solène Rapenne (she/her) | FWIW, I've been a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd) | 15:16:58 |

| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | good job :) | 15:18:03 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | actually, I'm now trying to use a system with nix installed via nix-installer as a remote builder, and I get the following error from nix
cannot build on 'ssh://10.42.42.101': error: cannot connect to '10.42.42.101': bash: line 1: nix-store : command not found
nix-store is in $PATH when I log in the system as root, is it a nix issue or nix-installer issue ? | 15:32:15 |
 @sandro:supersandro.de | you need to have it in PATH before sourcing any shell

| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | yeah, but I wonder if it's something nix-installer would like to address automatically | 08:15:55 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | like a like /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix | 08:16:29 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | * like a link /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix | 08:16:36 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | we've been looking at other ways to address it, like different ways to update the bashrc / shell inits | 14:33:56 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | it'd be great to get some help researching this, we've been looking at ubuntu and a mac but I think there are a lot of ways it could go wrong | 14:46:24 |

FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd profile) One note is we recently fixed a bug where the nix binary wasn't rooted for the GC so if you nix store gc you may encounter problems, a fix is coming likely today | 14:46:32 |
| Ana | The good news is uninstall and install with the new one should be painless | 14:46:55 |
| @sandro:supersandro.de | In reply to @rapenne-s:tchncs.de
like a link /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix it is not as easy as that because it could also be /usr/bin and /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix does also not always exist. | 14:53:26 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | yep | 14:53:38 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | In reply to @sandro:supersandro.de
it is not as easy as that because it could also be /usr/bin and /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix does also not always exist. but /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix is what exists after using nix-installer | 14:53:59 |
| @sandro:supersandro.de | on nixos you could use /run/current-system/sw/bin/nix but that does not work for nix on some other linux | 14:54:13 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | you don't need nix-installer on NixOS | 14:54:31 |
| @sandro:supersandro.de | oh, yeah the nix installer could symlink something in itself. That might actually be a good approach. | 14:54:47 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | i made a weird setup, using nix-installer on gentoo to get nix, and then mount my /nix from NixOS, it didn't turn well because the default profile didn't exist on my NixOS 😅 | 14:55:40 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I'm likely to be a couple minutes late, it's been a rough morning/week | 14:57:23 |
| Ana | Agenda for the day https://hackmd.io/I8PqMMZyRwS507VKtfHvwQ | 15:01:55 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I wish I could have mustered more excitement for today 😓 | 15:20:08 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | * I wish I could have mustered more energy for today 😓 | 15:20:12 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I'd propose the reschedule to every 3 or 4 weeks, we have been skipping 1/2 of the meetings recently due to lack of content, and it may be easier to gather more people and interest if there are less meeting but more content to discuss in them? | 15:21:27 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | let's hold on to the one in 2 weeks assuming we make it on that date | 15:23:19 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | and re-evaluate then? | 15:23:52 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | nix-installer will have its first release by that date 🎉 | 15:23:52 |
| 17 Jan 2023 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | we haven't been able to release it yet, but it is Coming. Let's postpone and meet in 2 weeks? | 22:19:48 |
