 Vladimír Čunát | * So I remerged the old commit. | 05:40:08 |
| Vladimír Čunát | staging-next merged. | 11:50:44 |
 K900 | UHhh | 11:51:46 |
| K900 | Abort | 11:51:47 |
| K900 | ABORT | 11:51:50 |
| K900 | We have a pretty bad regression for graphical desktops | 11:52:07 |
 hexa | already merged | 11:52:27 |
| hexa | 2 mins ago | 11:52:37 |
| K900 | Ugh | 11:52:48 |
| K900 | So what the fuck do we do about everyone's xdg autostart being broken | 11:53:03 |
 leona | fix it? | 11:54:34 |
| K900 | Yeah but we don't know what a good fix is | 11:54:41 |
| K900 | And we probably don't want to ship this staging cycle out before we have that | 11:54:55 |
| K900 | I have a fix but it's horrible and I don't trust myself enough to send it | 11:55:12 |
| Vladimír Čunát | So should I prevent unstable-small from getting this? | 11:59:11 |
| K900 | I think so | 11:59:26 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I wouldn't expect it very relevant to desktop usage, but 🤷 | 11:59:39 |
| K900 | Well -small is maybe fine, large channels definitely not | 12:00:09 |
| hexa | how big is your xdg shit in rebuilds | 12:00:19 |
| hexa | because we need to eat the staging-next anyhow | 12:00:26 |
| hexa | so nixos-unstable would run for a day or two anyhow | 12:00:40 |
| K900 | systemd.package big at the very least | 12:01:00 |
| hexa | a systemd rebuild is around 25k rebuilds per platform | 12:02:36 |
| K900 | systemd.package NixOS option | 12:03:16 |
| K900 | So one systemd and all the nixos tests | 12:03:24 |
 André Lima | Are autostart entries not running, is that it? And is this also a problem for upstream or just for NixOS?
Also, just to make sure I understand it, iirc GNOME hasn't supported autostart desktop entries in a while, is it also affected by this regression? | 12:18:57 |
| K900 | Autostart entries are not running | 12:19:30 |
| K900 | Problem kinda for upstream in weird cases, NixOS always | 12:19:38 |
| K900 | GNOME presumably uses the same standard systemd generator as everything else | 12:19:50 |
| André Lima | Right. I just checked and GNOME didn't stop supporting autostart, it just removed it's built-in service manager. Autostart entries are handled via systemd, like you said | 12:24:09 |
