@aidalgol:matrix.org | And then use nix flake update --commit-lock-file . | 02:53:23 |
@conr:mozilla.org | But do I have manually hardcode nixos versions, like nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.12"; when its ready? | 02:53:27 |
@aidalgol:matrix.org | Yes, nix flake update only updates the VCS revision each input points to, but it does not change the input URL. So if you were tracking nixos-unstable , you would never need to change the input URL, but if you're tracking versioned releases, you will need to do that manually. This goes for flakes in general, not just with nixpkgs/NixOS. | 02:55:20 |
@conr:mozilla.org | yeah, i wanted to stay on stable because it was my first time, but unstable seems like the way to go. my plex version is like 8mo behind. | 02:57:28 |
@aidalgol:matrix.org | With how easy it is to roll back NixOS, tracking unstable is pretty safe. | 03:00:28 |
@conr:mozilla.org | I'll have to try that next time I have a free weekend. | 03:07:51 |

Thatoo | Hello,
How can I add this keyboard layout to my configuration.nix file while I'm using flakes : https://github.com/Nuclear-Squid/ergol/raw/main/0_7_0/ergol.xkb_custom ? | 12:09:15 |
Thatoo | If I just add
let
compiledLayout = pkgs.runCommand "keyboard-layout" {} ''
${pkgs.xorg.xkbcomp}/bin/xkbcomp ${/path/to/file//ergol.xkb} $out
'';
in
services.xserver.displayManager.sessionCommands = "${pkgs.xorg.xkbcomp}/bin/xkbcomp ${compiledLayout} $DISPLAY";
on top of my configuration.nix file, I get an error

@mewp:nurupo.pl | In reply to @thatoo:matrix.org Hello, How can I add this keyboard layout to my configuration.nix file while I'm using flakes : https://github.com/Nuclear-Squid/ergol/raw/main/0_7_0/ergol.xkb_custom ? do you know how to do that without flakes? | 12:15:15 |
Thatoo | no, I just read https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Keyboard_Layout_Customization | 12:15:57 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | okay, are you configuring your system using flakes? | 12:16:48 |
Thatoo | yes | 12:18:02 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | all right, then you have a nixosConfiguration with all the settings | 12:18:34 |
Thatoo | a configuration.nix file, yes | 12:18:51 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | the settings don't have anything to do with flakes, just so you know | 12:18:54 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | anyway | 12:18:57 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.11&show=services.xserver.xkb.extraLayouts&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=xkb | 12:18:59 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | this is probably the option you want to set | 12:19:12 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | just add the file to your flake repo, and the path to the file in the relevant place | 12:19:38 |
Thatoo | thank you | 12:37:32 |
Thatoo | services.xserver = {
layout = "fr";
xkbVariant = "";
xkb.extraLayouts = {
mine = {
description = "ergol xkb layout.";
languages = [ "fr-ergol" ];
symbolsFile = /path/to/file/ergol.xkb_custom;
};
};
};
should work? Do I need to reboot or logout/login?
| 12:42:04 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | layout should probably be mine | 12:43:49 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | and the path relative (because the flake cannot access anything outside it) | 12:44:24 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | do a nixos-rebuild switch and then restart the x server | 12:45:03 |
@mewp:nurupo.pl | that being said—I don't know anything about these options, I'm just speculating | 12:45:25 |
Thatoo | thanks | 12:49:10 |
