re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've got a pipo W12 (snapdragon arm) I want to slap nixos on, I haven't even tried anything yet, just too bogged down on my personal todo to play! | 06:00:50 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | hmm manually loading the nvme module didn't help. I'll try the official installer and see if it's something we are missing in devos, or if this hardware is just obscure. | 06:01:01 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've also got an x79 xeon mobo that doesn't want to run the fans any less then 100% I blame it on being a hunanzhi, at least it doesn't complain when I use my own fan controller that doesn't pass the rpm to the board. | 06:03:35 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | Had the wiring so tidy on the first build, now it looks like it's in the grasp of the kraken! with a 5" bay sized display for the fan controller banging around inside. | 06:06:00 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | What's the machine? | 06:08:18 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | darn, even the official iso can't detect it ☹️ | 06:15:16 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | that's 5.4 kernel isn't it? probably wouldn't hurt to roll a devos iso and bump to kernel_latest? | 06:16:04 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | that was what I did first 😭 | 06:21:40 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | no specs on the machine? what's the model? | 06:25:10 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | I could log into to windows to figure that out but 🤮 | 06:35:11 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I was going to lead with the lesser of two evils and say have you tried ubuntu, dahaha | 06:36:15 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | I think I'll try a fresh arch iso just to cross ref | 06:36:44 |
re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | In my experience nixos has pretty much booted anything as long as I was running unstable 😎 | 06:39:24 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | David Arnold: is the bud iso still using the latest kernel? I just assumed and didn't check | 06:40:41 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | Beware: bud iso uses nixos-generators | 06:41:28 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | well it boots fine, just this dang drive 😆 | 06:41:39 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | bud bootstrapIso uses the digga boostrap iso (with profiles switched off and with the special link local networking) | 06:42:41 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | do you happen to know if nixos-generators uses a newer kernel? | 06:43:56 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | In reply to @timdeh:matrix.org do you happen to know if nixos-generators uses a newer kernel? It doesn't, bit it also doesn't use the "installer": https://www.github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators/tree/master/formats%2Fiso.nix | 06:45:20 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | 🤔 | 06:45:38 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | so what is the exact invocation for bootstrapIso? I tried bud build NixOS bootstrapIso | 06:46:06 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | And it doesn't work? 🧐 | 06:48:16 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | ❯ bud build NixOS bootstrapIso

| 06:48:49 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | I rebased on develop, maybe 4 days ago | 06:49:24 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | oh damn, even arch can't detect the drive 😩 | 06:49:41 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | but windows seems to have no problems with it ☹️ | 06:49:48 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | Either you still have the typoed version boostrap or you need to add the digga.nixosModule.boostrapIso | 06:49:52 |
David Arnold (blaggacao) | * Either you still have the typoed version `boostrapIso` or you need to add the `digga.nixosModule.boostrapIso` | 06:50:05 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | oops typo 😅 | 06:50:13 |
@timdeh:matrix.org | guess I'll just have to buy a new drive 😆 | 06:50:35 |
