 Ainz Ooal Gown | bobby found it during their testing, you can help debugging it
The PR is stale at the moment though, and whoever will pick it up (one of gnome team members hopefully) will use that fix

 arcayr | is there any existing lore on systemd-userdb | 06:00:25 |
| arcayr | the option exists, and it seems to tag anything above id 1000 as a "regular user". both gdm and all of the nixbld users are >30k | 06:00:48 |

| arcayr | compiling the world now off that pr so i'll have a look but my knowledge of the workings here is very patchy | 06:01:38 |

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 |
