 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | ah that's a good point | 15:39:26 |
 @lily:lily.flowers | Speaking of, I should probably make that ISO boot issue I didn't do yesterday that I was supposed to | 15:41:15 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Lily Foster: I think I have an idea for the /sysroot prefix problem with bind mounts / overlayfs / etc.. | 16:17:59 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | NixOS has a fileSystems.<name>.depends option | 16:18:10 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | We can automatically add the proper depends stuff for bind mounts and add the prefix. | 16:18:46 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | er | 16:18:53 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | to put that more clearly, | 16:18:59 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | we can add the /sysroot prefix to whatever we find in depends | 16:19:08 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | because currently depends literally doesn't work with systemd | 16:19:19 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and then we just have to put the proper depends for bind mounts, and if users want stuff like overlayfs to be fixed they just put the necessary depends in there | 16:19:52 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and we implement it in terms of the x-systemd.requires-mounts-for= FS option | 16:20:05 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | That actually sounds like a pretty good idea | 16:23:31 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | I like that | 16:23:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | issue about the depends thing: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/217179 | 16:25:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I think I found a way to do the flushBeforeStage2 thing for the networkd PR, but networkctl down is neither failing nor taking interfaces down... am confused | 22:29:30 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | it requires bringing dbus into initrd because that's how networkctl interacts with networkd | 22:31:12 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and that was annoying in its own right | 22:31:17 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and then it just... almost worked | 22:31:27 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
and then it just... almost worked Anything interesting in logs? | 22:34:43 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | not that I can see | 22:34:50 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | though I haven't tried with systemd debug log level yet | 22:35:01 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
it requires bringing dbus into initrd because that's how networkctl interacts with networkd (also does this work with services.dbus.implementation = "broker"?) | 22:35:03 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh my initrd implementation is far too dumb to care for that option lol | 22:35:21 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | * oh my initrd dbus implementation is far too dumb to care for that option lol | 22:35:27 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
though I haven't tried with systemd debug log level yet Yeah prob try that. Looking at networkctl code I don't see anything obvious unless networkd is just ignoring dbus commands totally or something | 22:35:31 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
oh my initrd dbus implementation is far too dumb to care for that option lol I figured so, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't blow up with it :) | 22:35:41 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea next thing is too look at the logs | 22:36:08 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | If you want to push to a public branch, I might have time to tinker with it too. I'm assuming you're doing this in a nixosTest | 22:36:18 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | kind of | 22:36:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I just added a sleep 5 && networkctl status command to the end of a nixos test and have been observing that output :p | 22:37:22 |
