@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène 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
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAnaI am not sure, I believe Graham may be out14:16:58
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAna 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
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAna abathur, Matthew Kenigsberg , Théophane any interest in a meeting today? 14:33:54
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAnaWe could cancel and enjoy the holidays, convene after. :)14:34:07
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) speaking for Théophane, he won't be available for today 15:02:51
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène 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:matrix.orgabathurSorry, I am out on vacation and forgot to mark the meeting15:11:29
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)I'm fine for cancelling if there isn't much to talk about ;)15:12:01
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)maybe we should switch to a monthly meeting15:12:14
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)* maybe we should switch to a monthly meeting now15:12:19
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAnaLet's cancel thenm since noone is around (I'm on the call)(15:12:30

@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)FWIW, I've been a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd)15:16:58
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)* FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd)15:17:44
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)* FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd profile)15:17:53
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)good job :)15:18:03
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène 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@sandro:supersandro.deyou need to have it in PATH before sourcing any shell 17:52:15

@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)yeah, but I wonder if it's something nix-installer would like to address automatically08:15:55
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) like a like /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix 08:16:29
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her) * like a link /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix 08:16:36
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgwe've been looking at other ways to address it, like different ways to update the bashrc / shell inits14:33:56
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgit'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 wrong14:46:24

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
@hoverbear:matrix.orgAnaThe good news is uninstall and install with the new one should be painless14:46:55

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.

but /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix is what exists after using nix-installer
14:53:59
@sandro:supersandro.de@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
