 emily | I mean to ensure userdbd doesn't seem them as normal users | 14:24:53 |
| emily | just silencing the warning doesn't sound like a good idea | 14:25:02 |
 winston | gotcha | 14:26:22 |
| winston | too bad auto-allocate-uids is experimental | 14:26:40 |
| emily | eg user records have a disposition field we can probably use. but will need some investigation | 14:28:52 |
| emily | it may be lower risk to do the quick fix for now and userdbd after branch off. but will try to take a look | 14:29:22 |
| winston | looks like the relevant code is https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/219d894db92759854cdf4c92a61b5f36442338db/src/shared/user-record.c#L2059-L2074 and https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/219d894db92759854cdf4c92a61b5f36442338db/src/basic/uid-classification.c#L121-L126
I can't find anything about being able to set your own value for the field | 14:50:51 |
 @mcnesium:matrix.org | so, should I file an issue about this? | 20:24:18 |
| winston | I just manually skipped it for now and opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519427, should have all the updates as of a couple of hours ago | 21:25:42 |

| ortolanbunting3002 | Hi, I've been meaning to get this PR merged for a while, but I can't get anyone to look at it https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/509478 | 12:38:06 |

| emily | uh, is gnome-desktop expected to work on Darwin? | 16:31:51 |
| emily | perhaps it nominally can, but I don't think the revdep closure is anything anyone would care about? | 16:32:43 |
| 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 |
