| misha | Hi all, I (think) I have been closely following this manual for installing Emacs on NixOS, but with this set-up, when I run Emacs, it cannot find the packages that I have installed (in this test case only evil). Do you maybe have any tips? | 09:31:50 |
| misha | (I can see that packages are installed in the /nix/store...) | 09:32:35 |
| misha | It's just that Emacs doesn't find them | 09:32:43 |
| misha | I would say it's an issue of load-path? But I'm a bit stuck. | 09:33:24 |
 adisbladis | The ((emacsPackagesFor emacs30).emacsWithPackages bit returns a wrapped Emacs with all the packages available, but you also have emacs30 above which is an unwrapped emacs | 09:38:49 |
| adisbladis | You'll want to remove the unwrapped one | 09:39:18 |
| misha | Ah... How stupid. Thank you so much. | 10:00:16 |

| tubobo | Folks my emacs kept on crashing after a recent nixos rebuild. I'm on NixOS running KDE Plasma 6.2.4, on nixos-unstable. My doom-emacs config hasn't changed for more than a year. I've tried changing package to emacs, emacs30, emacs30-pgtk etc and none of them works. emacs -nw and emacs -q works fine.

 rrix | that is not a valuable stack trace unfortunately | 03:55:19 |
| rrix | https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Debug_Symbols | 03:55:55 |
| tubobo | it seems getting the debug symbols is quite involved haha... a bit beyond my nix-fu | 04:31:38 |
| rrix | wherever you set your emacs package you can call overrideAttrs on it to specify dontStrip etc https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-pkg-overrideAttrs | 04:35:21 |
| rrix | the nix-build example oneliner too in that debug symbols page should get you there | 04:36:18 |
| rrix | on my phone but sth like nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; enableDebugging emacs' | 04:36:58 |
| rrix | bit more of a pain to use the oxerlay version tho | 04:37:16 |
| tubobo | thank you so much. will this work for nix flake? | 04:38:08 |
| rrix | oh i forgot that gdb needs source etc i see what you mean | 04:38:21 |
| rrix | but you can still get the emacs stack without going all the way down the rabbit hole | 04:38:51 |
| rrix | In reply to @tubobo:matrix.org
thank you so much. will this work for nix flake? enableDebugging is just a function in nixpkgs, you can access it in flake outputs sure | 04:39:52 |
| * rrix afk | 04:40:14 |
| tubobo | So, I recompiled emacs with the dontStripe attribute, and this failed to compile until after I removed emacsPackage.vterm. After that emacs is starting fine. | 04:59:44 |
| tubobo | thank you @rrix for helping out | 05:08:20 |
| rrix | lol ofc its a heisenbug crash that goes away when you enable symbols 🤣 | 06:09:23 |
