 Salt | yeah, looks like my updates were pulled in, but that's fine, would just like to have a system that keeps extensions updated a bit more regularly | 17:45:20 |
| Salt | I don't see anything there about updating a single extension | 17:46:39 |
 @mcnesium:exma.de | thanks. so I clone nixpkgs to my local device, then run that python script, check the other file, and then do a regular merge request? | 17:47:25 |
| Salt | yeah that does appear to be the correct steps for updating all of them | 17:47:54 |
 Jan Tojnar | yeah, plus build nixosTests.gnome-extensions to check if they at least load – that should probably be listed in the readme | 18:07:22 |
|  @jh-devv:matrix.org changed their display name from Sofie 🏳️⚧️ to jh-devv. | 19:00:27 |
| @jh-devv:matrix.org changed their display name from jh-devv to Sofie Halenius 🏳️⚧️. | 19:01:08 |
| @jh-devv:matrix.org changed their display name from Sofie Halenius 🏳️⚧️ to Sofie 🏳️⚧️. | 19:03:17 |
| Salt | just ran through the process but as there weren't new collisions, so I'm not exactly sure what those steps will look like. Here's the general steps (I know, I know, oversimplified):
git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:NixOS/nixpkgs.git
cd nixpkgs/pkgs/desktops/gnome/extensions
git switch -c gnome-extensions
./update-extensions.py
git status (to check if there were new collisions)
cd ../../../../
nix-build -A nixosTests.gnome-extensions
git add pkgs/desktops/gnome/extensions/
git commit -m "gnomeExtensions: auto-update"
while these steps use the main repo, generally they should be followed on your own fork which, after the changes are pushed, can be used to open a Pull Request

| Salt | (can folks tell I have an extension that I'd really like re-included lol) | 21:57:46 |

|  @mcnesium:matrix.org joined the room. | 18:24:38 |
| @mcnesium:exma.de left the room. | 18:24:52 |
| @mcnesium:matrix.org | slightly OT: shouldn't this room also be in #space:nixos.org ? | 18:27:03 |
| Salt | it is, it's within one of the subspaces | 18:31:07 |
| @mcnesium:matrix.org | true. the search results were too slow I guess. | 18:32:29 |
| Salt | yeah, it takes forever to load, I just tried to figure out which subspace and it timed out | 18:32:57 |
| Salt | anyhoo, that's how I initially found the channel | 18:33:19 |
|  SigmaSquadron changed their display name from SigmaSquadron to SigmaSquadron (Away until 2024-01-12). | 19:35:32 |
|  Renato Trevisan set a profile picture. | 21:58:31 |

 p14 | I'm guessing there is no good reason that the display manager sends its debug logs to /dev/null. systemctl show display-manager.service shows that StandardInput=null, and StandardError=inherit, and StandardOutput=journal. Inherit, from the systemd manpage means that it inherits from StandardInput, not StandardOutput, so error messages go to /dev/null. That happens to not be where I want them to go, unfortunately. I hope that's an oversight rather than intentional? | 21:09:30 |

 ElvishJerricco | p14: I think that's not true | 21:25:47 |
| ElvishJerricco |
StandardError=
Controls where file descriptor 2 (stderr) of the executed processes is connected to. The available options are identical to those of StandardOutput=, with some exceptions: if set to inherit the file descriptor used for standard output is duplicated for standard error, while fd:name will use a default file descriptor name of "stderr".

| p14 | Oh, apologies for my mistake; I'm struggling to explain why I'm not getting debug output for bin/gdm in the display manager process. | 21:26:55 |
| p14 | I think I must have hallucinated this incorrect point from somewhere. | 21:27:19 |
| ElvishJerricco | p14: When I set services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.debug and services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.debug I get debug output | 21:27:25 |
| ElvishJerricco | I am glad those exist because at one point either they didn't or I didn't know about them and getting debug output was proving impossible :P | 21:27:49 |
| p14 | I have those set. I have less debug output than I am expecting. I am experimenting with multi-seat and trying to determine why the second seat hangs immediately during login | 21:27:53 |
