 fabianhjr | will investigate this afternoon. gettting a crash after a recent nixos-rebuild. | 19:25:15 |

 hpfr | anyone else using GSConnect? The firefox extension doesn't seem to work because of how nix installs extensions; neither of these paths are present for me. if anyone else is using it, were you able to fix this somehow? | 00:24:22 |
 Jan Tojnar | hpfr: native messaging hosts can be injected to firefox https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/3173e260e8cc39d64af753edb2bbdc01039c7efb/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/wrapper.nix#L64 | 00:27:42 |
| Jan Tojnar | 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 | 00:29:05 |
| hpfr | oh cool, tridactyl native too. thank you, I'll give those a shot | 00:30:06 |
| Jan Tojnar | doesn’t work with firefox-bin though | 00:31:42 |
| hpfr | oh that's fine I'd probably just use the flatpak if I wanted a binary package? not sure why nix does those | 00:32:58 |
| Jan Tojnar | it has/had better performance than the native version, not sure if we fixed it | 00:33:43 |
| hpfr | so nixpkgs.config doesn't cause a rebuild from source? | 00:33:50 |
| Jan Tojnar | also it can be updated faster | 00:33:52 |
| Jan Tojnar | it does, but only of the wrapper | 00:34:06 |
| hpfr | oh, ok | 00:34:14 |
| hpfr | are things just added to nixpkgs.config when it seems like they're common enough? as opposed to normal overlays | 00:35:05 |
| Jan Tojnar | it probably depends on the maintainer | 00:35:36 |
| Jan Tojnar | personally, I do not like to use it | 00:35:49 |
| hpfr | I see | 00:36:58 |
| Jan Tojnar | I just pass the arguments directly: https://github.com/jtojnar/nixfiles/blob/4d112f1b5eeaf0cf65f28419118f5194a93162b4/hosts/theo/configuration.nix#L143-L147 | 00:37:14 |
| hpfr | I think I'm going to have to do an overlay of the wrapper anyway to add pkgs.gnomeExtensions.gsconnect to extraNativeMessagingHosts, right? | 00:37:51 |
| Jan Tojnar | since nixpkgs.config does not even work with the way I instantiate packages | 00:37:52 |
| hpfr | why not? | 00:38:06 |
| hpfr | looks like you're using environment.systemPackages | 00:38:22 |
| Jan Tojnar | nixpkgs.config work by having the module system instantiate pkgs, I do it myself | 00:39:02 |
| Jan Tojnar | * nixpkgs.config works by having the module system instantiate pkgs, I do it myself | 00:39:12 |
| hpfr | oh | 00:39:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | I guess I could do
(firefox-wayland.override (args: args // {
cfg = args.cfg or {} // config.nixpkgs.config.firefox;
}))

| Jan Tojnar | In reply to @hpfr:matrix.org
I think I'm going to have to do an overlay of the wrapper anyway to add pkgs.gnomeExtensions.gsconnect to extraNativeMessagingHosts, right? oh right, that is not actually obtained from config – I think that is inconsistency that could be fixed | 00:45:13 |
| hpfr | it looks like there is a pkgs.wrapFirefox I'm probably gonna use to add pkgs.gnomeExtensions.gsconnect https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Firefox | 00:45:31 |
| hpfr | Jan Tojnar: in the firefox wrapper you linked, why do they sometimes or booleans with false? isn't that a no op? they do it for like half of the lib.optional calls around there but not all of them? | 00:55:13 |
| hpfr | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/3173e260e8cc39d64af753edb2bbdc01039c7efb/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/wrapper.nix#L64 | 00:55:34 |
| hpfr | actually they do it for all the booleans from config, so I guess those can be null when undefined? I figured they'd just be false... | 00:56:33 |
