 balsoft | You shouldn't add anything | 18:27:01 |
| balsoft | Just remove it | 18:27:03 |
| balsoft | It will resolve from the global registry then | 18:27:10 |
| balsoft | Otherwise the entry that you have added to the user registry takes precedence | 18:27:21 |
 edrex | after removing it, there's no global entry listed. | 18:28:18 |
| edrex | oh, there is | 18:28:31 |
| edrex | oops | 18:28:33 |
| edrex | sorry | 18:28:42 |
| edrex | i missed it the first time | 18:28:51 |
| balsoft | No problem | 18:28:55 |
| edrex | still the docs could make this clearer | 18:29:32 |
| edrex | does global mean "baked into nix"? like it's no something you are meant to change on a per-system basis? or is it just a per-system default? | 18:31:16 |
| balsoft | It can be configured with flake-registry | 18:31:34 |
| edrex | oh, it is described in the nix registry doc | 18:32:32 |
 Roos | nix registry --help :D | 18:32:53 |
| edrex | yes well it's a lot to take on while trying to troubleshoot odd issues at like 6 different layers while learning a new operating system. | 18:34:07 |
| edrex | it's like being a writer and finding yourself having to troubleshoot the chemistry of your ink pen. | 18:34:45 |
| Roos | Yes, flakes is a high entry point. | 18:35:36 |
| balsoft | In reply to @roosemberth:orbstheorem.ch
Yes, flakes is a high entry point. Eh, compared to nix-env interface... | 18:35:49 |
| Roos | I tried to onboard a friend not so long ago and discovered lots of plumbing stuff myself x) | 18:35:55 |
| edrex | thanks, it helps to know others are sharing my misery :D | 18:37:46 |
| edrex | flakes does seem to have a conceptual economy, and it basically makes sense to me | 18:38:17 |
| Roos | xD | 18:38:20 |
| Roos | I wouldn't say it's a good thing x) | 18:38:49 |
| edrex | balsoft i started a profile with latest nix following your instructions, thanks | 18:45:25 |
| edrex | oh but the fix isn't in the nix repo yet, only in nixpkgs. trying again | 18:46:55 |
| edrex | oh the fix i'm trying to get is actually a patch to stdenv | 18:55:37 |
| edrex | installing a different stdenv seems like it would require rebuilding the world. hmm | 18:56:37 |
| edrex | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/138334/files | 18:56:58 |
|  Artturin joined the room. | 18:59:02 |
