Thank you, Jan Tojnar . I appreciate the quick response even if I don't fully understand it yet.
Those two gnome.nix URLs are the same an I trust seeing them again will not materially affect how I should change configuration.nix in my 23.05 channel install. That is, of course, what I have been trying and failing to successfully do.
I will try to translate

Adding pkgs.gnome.gnome-shell-extensions to environment.gnome.excludePackages NixOS option

into code which fits in my nearly default configuration.nix, then share it here.

hmm, looks like it is still experimental, you can enable it locally with overrideAttrs but we probably do not want that in Nixpkgs yet

Did anyone looked at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/260222 yet? For some reason the gnome-shell is giving me DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed errors that is causing the system to crash and that seems to be specific to the gnome-shell atm no matter which mesa i use

In reply to @jtojnar:matrix.org
I have not seen that. How are you switching mesa?

With:

nixpkgs.overlays =
	 	[ (self: super:
	 		{
	 			mesa = pkgs.mesa_22_3;
	 		}
	 	)];

And doing unstable nixos configuration

In reply to @jtojnar:matrix.org
I would expect something like this to work (though using pkgs in overlays can cause issues when pkgs contains incompatible dependencies) but Mesa is a bit more complicated. You might also need to replace libGL and/or mesa_glu.

In reply to @jtojnar:matrix.org
can you reproduce with the script mentioned in the upstream issue?

In reply to @5m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de
Which one?

Heya! (reposted from Nix/NixOS room)

I'm having trouble with tracker-extract-3.service on nixos. It's been crashing since nixos 23.05.20231011.bd1cde (October 12th).
https://gist.github.com/the-furry-hubofeverything/97e6dbbca82bcdfb6325626e7b88b40a

Looking at the time that it happened, and comparing that to the closest system profile change, I ran a diff-closure between unproblematic and the problematic system, and it resulted with:

[hubble@Gulo-Laptop:~]$ nix store diff-closures /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-395-link /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-396-link
nixos-system-Gulo-Laptop: 23.05.20231007.5a237ae → 23.05.20231011.bd1cde4
source: +417.8 KiB
tracker-miners: 3.5.0 → 3.5.3, -41.0 KiB

And looking at the latest commits at that time, tracker-miners was updated to patch CVE-2023-43641.
Is this related to the CVE? Is this a nixos bug or upstream?
