 @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | ElvishJerricco: ma27 told me about this today: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/system/boot/stage-1.nix#L153 | 17:43:47 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | do we need to adapt that? | 17:43:53 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I don't think so | 17:45:14 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | we don't nuke the rpath | 17:45:17 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and glibc is in its original path in the initrd | 17:45:29 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | ah that might work around that, yeah | 17:45:52 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | as long as something is causing libpthread to be pulled in | 17:46:06 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | feels a bit unreliable :D | 17:46:25 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea maybe we can add that to storePaths as an assurance | 17:46:36 |

* Various units are now correctly ordered against
initrd-switch-root.target where previously a conflict without
ordering was configured. A stop job for those units would be queued,
but without the ordering it could be executed only after
initrd-switch-root.service, leading to units not being restarted in
the host system as expected.
I wish they linked the PR that did this. I'd like to see what exactly changed
Ah, think I found it: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24670 | 17:48:12 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | seems related but is unmerged: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24680 | 17:51:22 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I really wish systemd PRs contained some kind of explanation for wtf it's doing. They seem to almost always have zero context | 17:52:02 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | well I see the same thing in nixpkgs more often than I would hope ;) | 17:53:20 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24670/files#r972921587
This is... useful, if strange, information. | 17:54:30 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Apparently when one thing would be stopped at the same time as the other would be started, the only way to influence the ordering of those things is to have any ordering between them, which always means the stop happens first | 17:55:40 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Looks like they missed at least a couple units; like systemd-networkd.service. But then again I don't think anyone actually expects people to use networkd in initrd yet :P | 17:59:00 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org |
At shutdown, systemd will now log about processes blocking unmounting of file systems.
Oh sweet. I could actually really use this

 Paul Haerle | With the networkd PR and a small PR which changes an assertion to a warning https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/197382 I succeeded in building a 30MB initrd without stage2, that can be kexec'ed into to partition the disks (with disko and zfs) and to download and install a nixosConfiguration from a flake - all on a remote host.
Still got a few things to iron out, but a PoC went pretty smooth. The initrd being about 5% in size compared to a full nixos kexec-bundle makes it much easier to work on low-memory VPS.
Thanks everyone involved in this effort :tada: | 15:09:07 |

 @kranzes:matrix.org | Has anyone got systemd-cryptenroll working without a password slot? | 11:21:39 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | I initially only had a password slot, so I added my FIDO2 key to the second slot | 11:22:04 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | and wanted to delete the first slot (password one) | 11:22:10 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | so I deleted it just fine | 11:22:19 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | but every other use of systemd-cryptenroll requires me to put in a passphrase which I no longer have | 11:22:43 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Unlocking the device on boot via the fido2 still works fine, so i'm not locked out. | 11:22:57 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | my steam deck boots without a paswword | 11:22:58 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Same, but I wanna add another slot | 11:23:10 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | using the tpm | 11:23:10 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | how many slots do you have enrolled? | 11:23:23 |
