Minijackson: Thank you very much for detailing the mechanisms! I'll try this tomorrow again and see what knowledge gaps I still have :) | 21:19:52 | |
I agree, we're missing a lot of flakes documentation in the NixOS/nixpkgs manual | 21:20:27 | |
or even an in-depth tutorial | 21:20:33 | |
(well this is a new/experimental feature) | 21:20:51 | |

Turns out I wasn't that far off. It seems I simply was confused by not seeing any update on max-user-freq values. | 13:45:26 | |

Hey! 🙋 I'm just getting back into audio production (first time on NixOS). I've found a number of free synths packaged into nixpkgs, but I haven't been able to find u-he's Zebralette or Tyrell N6. Do you know if they're available somewhere? If not, would any of you have a derivation for them or be able to help me write one? 🙏 | 17:10:15 | |

(in case its still auth-gated, single result; this) | 17:37:43 | |
Oh, sick! Thank you so much 😄 | 17:41:41 | |

I had to do some minor changes (update to the latest version), but it seems to have worked. For reference, here's what I ended up with:
However, when trying to run the plugins (in Bitwig), I'm getting these messages: | 17:49:58 | |

However, when trying to run the plugins (in Bitwig), I'm getting the above error (Installation issue: no GUI resources. Please run the installer again). Does that sound familiar? | 17:50:22 | |
nope, never touched the Actual Thing just did my usual search :P | 17:51:18 | |
maybe LD_DEBUG=libs and/or strace | grep dlopen | 17:51:36 | |
* maybe LD_DEBUG=libs | 17:51:48 | |
Cool; I'll try that! ... How do I do that? Is that in the derivation? Also interesting thing to note: the synth seems to be working, there's just no GUI. That said, not being able to change presets or twist any knobs does make it kinda useless for now. | 17:56:57 | |
oh no, just an env var when you run it! | 17:57:18 | |
Right! When I run the DAW, that is? | 17:57:31 | |
oh, that's going to be a lot more noisy then | 17:57:40 | |
Yeah, probably. I don't know if I can run it standalone? | 17:58:04 | |
i guess you can do that and pipe the output 2>&1 | tee log so you can munch through the possibly-multi-GB log in a more competent environment | 17:58:32 | |
Hmm, it seems to only give me these messages when trying to load the plugin:
I've grepped around the output, but don't find anything related to zebra, and nothing that seems to indicate issues relating to u-he either. Got any suggestions? | 18:06:44 | |
The above output may indicate that there's some drawing issues, but I'm not sure how to handle that. I draw windows without title bars if that could be a thing? Haven't had any issues with any other plugins, though. | 18:07:34 | |
more like its missing some wonky x11 library it seems | 18:07:59 | |
Hmm. could that be a missing runtime dependency in the derivation? | 18:08:31 | |
probably yeah but I have no idea where you'd find that dynlib | 18:08:51 |
