 emily | looks like it unconditionally requires <sys/personality.h>, so it's just not going to work. | 16:33:48 |
 9lore | Its seems to be a library dependency gor stuff tgat is supposed to | 20:00:43 |
| 9lore | From tge quick look i had the whole gnome stack has a blanket meta.platforms = lib.platforms.unix; | 20:02:04 |

| emily | what stuff? I grepped and it all looked like stuff that wouldn't run on Darwin or that probably nobody wants to | 20:07:10 |
| emily | it didn't look like most of the apps pulled it in | 20:07:42 |

 winston | oh yeah @emily I haven't had time for more work on the userdb PR yet, but if we intend to remove the pulseaudio stuff with 26.11, should 26.05 show a deprecation warning for it?
or am i overthinking migrations in nixos modules | 23:20:06 |
| emily | uhhhh | 23:45:22 |
| emily | I'm unqualified to be the one to judge but I don't think I care about PulseAudio in GDM at all. | 23:45:33 |
| emily | does GDM even make sounds? | 23:45:37 |
| emily | or does it break PulseAudio more generally? or… | 23:45:45 |
| emily | I feel like PulseAudio is just not a thing any more at least on GNOME | 23:46:08 |
| emily | I wouldn't worry about warnings | 23:46:20 |
| winston | it definitely does with accessibility stuff turned on | 23:58:33 |
| winston | or is supposed to be, at least
i havent checked that all of that works properly yet 😅 should probably do that | 23:59:00 |
| winston | and apparently the workaround that's currently in the pulseaudio config has something to do with stealing bluetooth focus, adequately cursed for pulse | 23:59:54 |

| emily | did that onscreen keyboard thing ever get figured out btw? | 00:01:08 |
| winston | tecla? | 00:01:18 |
| emily | right | 00:01:21 |
| winston | yep that works | 00:01:29 |
| emily | yeah probably let's just ignore it… it's been a while since we defaulted to Pulse for desktops at all anyway… | 00:01:38 |
| emily | I guess we could warn on just GNOME + Pulse but I don't know if it's worth spending your limited time on | 00:01:55 |
| winston | alright thanks :) | 00:02:10 |

| winston | ok so turns out accessibility stuff broke on gdm with the 50 bump, opened a fix https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/521789 | 02:33:11 |
| emily | this looks like it doesn't make them share a home dir? | 03:17:59 |
| emily | so settings will apply or not depending on which one you roll? | 03:18:13 |
| winston | hm maybe, but with them sharing the home directory I see permission errors in journalctl
and clicking accessibility buttons doesnt do anything, i assume because it cant write that state or access dbus sockets | 03:32:17 |
| emily | the home would need the right permissions to be shared yeah. it sounds kind of awkward | 04:12:20 |
