 Ana | We could cancel and enjoy the holidays, convene after. :) | 14:34:07 |
 Solène Rapenne (she/her) | speaking for Théophane, he won't be available for today | 15:02:51 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I'm a bit sad to read the new name is nix-install, it may be confusing with it as a way to install nix package, why not nix-installer or install-nix? :) | 15:03:38 |
 abathur | Sorry, I am out on vacation and forgot to mark the meeting | 15:11:29 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I'm fine for cancelling if there isn't much to talk about ;) | 15:12:01 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | maybe we should switch to a monthly meeting | 15:12:14 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | * maybe we should switch to a monthly meeting now | 15:12:19 |
| Ana | Let's cancel thenm since noone is around (I'm on the call)( | 15:12:30 |

| 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) | * FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd) | 15:17:44 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | * FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd profile) | 15:17:53 |
| 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
| 17:52:15 |

| 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 |
| Ana | In reply to @rapenne-s:tchncs.de
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 |
