Solène Rapenne (she/her) | hello, do we have the meeting today? (maybe there isn't enough content for a meeting + people may be on vacations) | 13:46:30 |
Ana | I am not sure, I believe Graham may be out | 14:16:58 |
Ana | An update over from Detsys is we renamed harmonic to nix-install (Harmonic was taken on crates.io) and plan to start inviting folks to take it for a spin and give it a test. | 14:18:24 |
Ana | abathur, Matthew Kenigsberg , Théophane any interest in a meeting today? | 14:33:54 |
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

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 |
