| Byron Gibson | Hello! I'm doing a fresh installation of NixOS 21.05 from a Live USB. The Live USB is using Gnome4 (or Gnome 40 or whatever it is these days), which I want to use in my installation.
However, the property services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable still refers to Gnome3 in the docs - https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=21.05&show=services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=desktopmanager.gnome
Is that just a typo in the docs left over from NixOS 20.09, or is there some other property required to select Gnome4?
| 05:55:28 |
 jonringer | gnome is just now gnome. if there's a reference to gnome3 then it probably got missed | 05:58:18 |
 Jan Tojnar | yeah, probably did not find it because it is spelled wrong (I grep'd for all-caps GNOME) | 06:27:51 |
| Jan Tojnar | opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126045 to fix that | 06:36:24 |
|  Pacman99 changed their display name from Parthiv Seetharaman to Pacman99. | 17:35:44 |

 MartiniMoe | Hi guys, I am using a laptop with intel hd graphics 4000. I have the feeling my gnome may not be completely gpu accelerated. Can anyone of you give me some directions on how to enable hardware acceleration on how to check if its working? I have the following in my machine config:
hardware.opengl = {
enable = true;
extraPackages = with pkgs; [
intel-media-driver
vaapiIntel
vaapiVdpau
libvdpau-va-gl
];
};

| -(š¯•‚eloĻ„)- | Jan Tojnar: Due some recent tragic event I don't think I'll be able to edit/publish my attempt to document chrome-gnome-shell. :/
You are free to do whatever you want with the following file. I'll try to post it next week or the week after on my personal blog for people to read/learn from.
| 10:15:31 |
| -(š¯•‚eloĻ„)- | Download chrome-gnome-shell.org | 10:15:36 |
| -(š¯•‚eloĻ„)- | The only missing factor is the script part, will add that in the future. | 10:16:00 |
| -(š¯•‚eloĻ„)- | Alright, going afk until then. Have a nice day folks. | 10:16:29 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: heads up https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/extensions-rebooted/-/issues/24 | 21:24:53 |
 piegames | Yikes, thanks for the notice | 21:25:39 |
| piegames | I'm not sure I understand what it means for us. Okay, the zip files we'll download won't include the compiled schemas anymore, if any. But doesn't it also mean that GNOME doesn't need them, so we don't need to care? | 21:33:57 |
| piegames | I think this mostly boils down to what GNOME calls "install time" | 21:34:08 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: I think they mean downloading | 21:34:43 |
| Jan Tojnar | we will have to compile the schemas when building the package | 21:35:15 |
| piegames | I hope this can be done automatically | 21:35:47 |
| Jan Tojnar | probably something like find -name .gschemas.xml + dirname + glib-compile-schemas | 22:02:21 |
| Jan Tojnar | * probably something like find -name .gschemas.xml + dirname + glib-compile-schemas | 22:02:33 |
| piegames | I'm creating a VM configuration that has all extensions already installed, as a better testing environment. Would this fit into Nixpkgs? | 22:49:15 |
| piegames | Also, the package list contains attributes that don't evaluate (because they throw an exception). How can I filter them out without throwing myself? | 22:49:46 |
| 10 Jun 2021 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: why do they throw an exception? | 06:16:19 |
| piegames | Jan Tojnar Because the packages got removed and that's apparently how to deal with it in nixpkgs or something? | 09:11:52 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: that should not bother you if you disable aliases | 10:32:43 |
| Jan Tojnar | and you can also use builtins.tryEval | 10:32:54 |
| piegames | I tried pkgs = import ./nixpkgs { allowBroken = true; allowAliases = false; } in the REPL and still get exceptions :( | 10:37:02 |
