 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 |
