 @cifre:matrix.org | ok, what is that for | 01:53:34 |
 uep | yeah, are there any that are not /proc/... ? | 01:53:41 |
| uep | the running processes are roots to stop the exe being gc'd while running | 01:54:07 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | In reply to @uep:matrix.org
yeah, are there any that are not /proc/... ? nix-store --query --roots <path> no | 01:54:22 |
| uep | referrers will also give you a clie about what's pulling it in.. | 01:54:33 |
| uep | like a ...-system-path derivation | 01:55:00 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | In reply to @uep:matrix.org
also try nix-store --query --referrers <path> /nix/store/03i8ch7wfzwf2fhdi9ql5j0m33h0razb-firefox-devedition-unwrapped-116.0b8 | 01:56:05 |
| uep | ok, so your firefox is still running, but should not be in the system path anymore and can get gc'd after you quit it | 01:56:31 |
| uep | that's not quite the same as understanding why the .desktop files are still there or how they were installed | 01:57:03 |

ok, so your firefox is still running, but should not be in the system path anymore and can get gc'd after you quit it yes, it works, but it should be there at this point, i tried to remove it many times, many rebuilds. | 01:57:10 |

ok, so your firefox is still running, but should not be in the system path anymore and can get gc'd after you quit it * yes, it works, imean, it runs, i can browse with it, but it should not be there at this point, i tried to remove it many times, many rebuilds. | 01:57:25 |
| uep | but those will turn into broken links once the store path is gc'd | 01:57:40 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | i ran this sudo nix-collect-garbage -d thought it would fix it. | 01:58:34 |
| uep | not if the process is running, those /proc/... gc roots will keep it alive | 01:59:18 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | * i ran this sudo nix-collect-garbage -d thought it would fix it, like a few minutes ago. | 01:59:32 |
| uep | quit firefox, check ps to make sure it hasn't left a background task or something | 02:00:03 |
| uep | check those gc roots again to make sure | 02:00:22 |
| uep | then nix-collect-garbage should delete it | 02:00:34 |

| uep | whatever installed the desktop icons might also have installed an autostart or something, so it's just never not running when you try | 02:01:23 |

sent an image. ok, i quit it, looks like there is no bg ps | 02:01:28 |

sent an image. * ok, i killed it. | 02:02:13 |
| uep | ok, check nix-store --query --roots again? there should be none now | 02:02:33 |

| @cifre:matrix.org | seems working | 02:03:27 |
| uep | there you go | 02:03:30 |
| uep | either there's an autostart link, or maybe you just checked each time after reboot / login to see if it was gone first before trying again to delete it | 02:04:08 |
| uep | perhaps just delete the .desktop files manually from your ~/.wherever | 02:04:43 |
