WARNING:root:Nix-prefetch-url failed for https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/wandathefishke.labrie.gmail.com.v4.shell-extension.zip:
WARNING:root:Stderr: error: opening file '/tmp/nix-shell-210682-751226006/nix-213614-2051332715/unpacked/extension.js': Permission denied
it says when running ./update-extensions.py in nixpkgs/pkgs/desktops/gnome/extensions. Can I do something about it?
| 17:01:46 |
| @mcnesium:matrix.org | looks like the : is the problem, because without it the file downloads fine | 17:04:09 |

 winston | it looks like the download isn't the issue, but the permissions inside the zip are (0000 permissions)
looks like this extension was skipped before, so it might be best to skip it | 11:17:55 |
| winston | I don't think we can just chmod it because nix-prefetch-url itself fails for me lol
$ nix-prefetch-url --unpack --print-path https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/wandathefishke.labrie.gmail.com.v4.shell-extension.zip
error: opening file '/tmp/nix-613382-2484620907/unpacked/extension.js': Permission denied
and whether or not we pass in --unpack changes the hash we're getting
| 11:22:45 |
| winston | also for anyone following gnome 50 / staging-next:
I opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519148 yesterday to fix gdm and make it use systemd-userdbd like upstream suggests, would appreciate more eyes on it | 11:31:21 |
 emily | what users does the warning trigger for? | 13:29:32 |
| winston | the nixbld users, by default | 13:47:23 |
| winston | also just updated the gnome extensions for 50: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519427 | 13:48:01 |
| emily | we probably need to see if we can configure it to be aware that those aren't normal users. I'll try to take a proper look at the PR later, feel free to ping if I forget | 14:21:16 |
| emily | eg maybe we can synthesize user records for them or something | 14:21:46 |
| winston | in the warning or to actually create those users? | 14:22:20 |
| emily | hm? | 14:24:38 |
| 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 |
