| Tyler | Hi. New here, and pretty new to Nix altogether. I'm trying to build libvte from github (devel version) with sixel enabled.
I've looked at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/vte/default.nix, but it's not at all clear where the actual meson call or how to add configuration options to it.
Would appreciate some help. | 04:23:02 |

you can just set it in nixpkgs.config https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/25a431819b54389580f629e1e2e6fdbc4d8632d4/nixos/modules/services/desktops/gnome/chrome-gnome-shell.nix#L39 on second glance it looks like this enableGnomeExtensions option just adds chrome-gnome-shell as a firefox native messenger, which just allows for installing gnome extensions from a browser, which I think I wouldn't even want to do because I want them in my NixOS config? to clarify, I already have GSConnect installed via my NixOS config. also, I think that's already enabled since the gnome module enables chrome-gnome-shell as part of core-shell | 04:37:59 |
| hpfr | anyway, I wrapped firefox with tridactyl-native and gnomeExtensions.gsconnect as native messengers, but Tridactyl still thinks the native messenger isn't installed. I install Firefox extensions through Firefox, do I have to install them via Nix to get everything working? it doesn't seem like it since the GSConnect Firefox extension now seems to somewhat work | 04:39:40 |

| hpfr | I installed flatpak EOG a while ago to see if it had HEIF support but eventually removed it when I learned of gthumb (so much better than photos and eog for most users, I think. Photos doesn't even let you browse!). Now I can't seem to run my Nix EOG from the "Image Viewer" desktop entry from the overview. It shows a spinner and eventually silently fails. I've searched all of my $XDG_DATA_DIRS for org.gnome.eog.desktop, and the only one is in /run/current-system-sw/share, which I'm guessing is the default for EOG installed as part of the the GNOME NixOS module | 10:16:51 |
