 @NobbZ:matrix.org | That are system services | 16:36:25 |
 @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Ok, I don't think I know what you mean by "service" then, could you clarify? | 16:36:50 |

That are system services They did pass --user to systemctl | 16:37:37 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Exactly. | 16:37:55 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Kmonad runs as a system service | 16:38:01 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Not as a user service | 16:38:12 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | At least if they are still using the nixos module as provided by the kmonad repo | 16:38:30 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | (I am. I import it to the flake.) | 16:39:04 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | So check your system services | 16:39:16 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Namely kmonad-${keyboard.name}.service | 16:39:32 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I see these:
kmod-static-nodes.service >
kmonad-options.service
| 16:41:01 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I don't see anything with my keyboard's name. | 16:41:30 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Please use list-units to also see inactive ones, then check its status. From the module I can't see wether its meant to be oneshot or whtever else, though it has a Restart of "no", which is weird in my opinion… | 17:06:52 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Therefore I want to know more about it | 17:07:07 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | I hope I can build your system locally quickly… | 17:09:08 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | I can't… colmena doesn't allow to pass --option allow-import-from-derivation true down to nix. | 17:13:10 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Or at least I can't find a way | 17:13:28 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Also I can't find a way to build the system closure directly using nix build :( | 17:14:02 |

| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Download list.txt | 17:22:07 |

Also I can't find a way to build the system closure directly using nix build :( Yeah, I do everything with Colmena cause it lets me work on my local and remote systems in the same way. But it's proving to make it difficult for others to help. | 17:23:01 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Looking at that list, I would say you called your keyboard "options" | 17:23:36 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | Please check the status of kmonad-options.service (it is running) And if you have currently changes that are not yet active, please restart the service and tell us if then the changes get applied. | 17:25:27 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | (I will actually start playing with KMonad on my systems soonish, as it might solve some problems I currently have even with my Moonlander, as there are simply things that are not perfect still, and it behaves differently between Mac and Linux) | 17:26:46 |

Yes, if I make some changes and they don't take effect, restarting that service makes them take effect. | 17:30:03 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Interesting. | 17:30:11 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | I still think there is something weird about the behaviour I'm getting, it seems like something is wrong. But this does give me a good way to work on it w/o having to restart constantly. | 17:33:00 |
| @NobbZ:matrix.org | So either the nixos activation or colmena do something weird. Usually changed services should be restarted. Therefore I'd like to know if it would work reliably using nixos-rebuild switch or test | 17:55:43 |
| @ask-yourself:matrix.org | Yeah, if this keeps being a problem I'm gonna find a way to add a normal build to my config for debugging purposes. | 17:56:46 |
