BTW, is there some channel for reporting installer experiences? Is that a useful thing to do? I installed using the graphical installer; some issues I saw:

  • (I'd assume this must be known) The keyboard layout selection did nothing
  • It seemed to support replacing a logical volume in an LVM volume group, but I only ever got it to fail with an error or more often segfault

@abathur:matrix.orgabathur Matthew Kenigsberg cole-h I did get https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11075 updated with the approach we discussed Wednesday, if either of you get a chance to give it a shake 16:47:19

Just to make sure: the best way to test would be to be on 14.x, install Nix, update to the 15 beta, and then see if the script gets things working again, right?

@abathur:matrix.orgabathurthat, and also trying to run it before the update19:20:12
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-h(Protip: if you're testing this in a VM, give it more than 64 GB (!!) of disk space -- I couldn't find a way to expand it after the fact and had to reinstall, and the beta installer wanted ~2GB more than I gave it)20:40:15
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hOK, finally got the beta installed. Specifically, macOS 15.0 Beta 3 Update (build version 24A5289h) and I have some bad news: _nixbld{1,4} are completely gone. 21:07:59
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-h

dscl . read /Users/_nixbld1 (through 4) gives eDSRecordNotFound, but 5+ are fine (as we'd expect)

21:09:04
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hGonna write down my test steps (to help others) and then reiterate what I just said in 1107521:18:16
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-h(Posted)21:31:53
@matthewkenigsberg:matrix.orgMatthew Kenigsberg Looks like cole-h beat me to it and found some issues, but let me know if another test would be helpful next week 23:22:26
