| Sami Liedes | 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 | In reply to @skano:matrix.org
my zshrc.backup-before-nix file contains nix can probably follow same steps I gave in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11074#issuecomment-2220985517 | 16:00:30 |

| abathur | 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 |

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 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? | 19:16:59 |
| abathur | that, and also trying to run it before the update | 19:20:12 |
| cole-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 | OK, 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 | dscl . read /Users/_nixbld1 (through 4) gives eDSRecordNotFound, but 5+ are fine (as we'd expect)
| 21:09:04 |
| cole-h | Gonna write down my test steps (to help others) and then reiterate what I just said in 11075 | 21:18:16 |
| cole-h | (Posted) | 21:31:53 |
 Matthew 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 |

| abathur | Mostly just repeating context from the PR thread into this discussion:
Here's where the assumption that they exist but lack a UID comes from:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10948#issuecomment-2201254269
Since it seems like that was either mistaken or maybe Apple's shifted the behavior (perhaps properly deleting the users is their "fix"?), fixing installs that have already been upgraded to sequoia is probably going to be a lot less fun.
