henrik-ch	* I am continuing my adventures in nixos wsl and discovered something that I want to get your advice on: This command seems to always work in PowerShell: `wsl -d nixos` On the other hand, when I try and run with a specified user, like `wsl -d nixos -u i97henka`, it only works if I have logged in with the nixos user first. Is that expected behaviour, or does it point at something being wrong with my setup? Here a small PS extract: `PS C:\Users\i97he> wsl -d nixos -u i97henka <3>WSL (10) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:570: execvpe /run/current-system/sw/bin/bash failed 2 <3>WSL (10) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:579: Create process not expected to return PS C:\Users\i97he> wsl -d nixos -u i97henka` `[i97henka@nixos:/mnt/c/Users/i97he\]$`	16:37:20

K900	Can we please just drop syschdemd already, I genuinely don't care about the three people stuck on <=20H2	16:38:39
henrik-ch	Thanks for reply @K900 - am I on the right track here you think? - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/	16:40:37
K900	No	16:40:49
K900	Just set `wsl.nativeSystemd = true` in your config, rebuild, then restart your WSL VM	16:41:33
henrik-ch	That works - thanks a lot 👍️🙂👍️ 🙏	16:45:05

henrik-ch	Download configuration.nix	20:45:12
henrik-ch	I am trying to change my nixos-wsl configuration.nix to add nixvim - as described here: https://github.com/pta2002/nixvim#without-flakes what confuses me is that in the nixvim example, lib is an input, whereas in my configuration.nix it is not. As a starting point, I just added lib as an input, and that worked, but when I tried the import it failed sayint there is no lib.fetchGit function. Attached my current non-working nixos-wsl configuration.nix	20:45:18

K900	It should probably be `builtins.fetchGit` or `pkgs.fetchGit`	20:45:46
K900	Not `lib.fetchGit`	20:45:49
henrik-ch	Thank you K900 , builtins is better - however, I get this error message now instead: `error: executing 'git': No such file or directory` `warning: could not read HEAD ref from repo at 'https://github.com/pta2002/nixvim', using 'master'` `error: executing 'git': No such file or directory` `error: program 'git' failed with exit code 1`	20:48:52
K900	Do you have `git` installed?	20:49:04
henrik-ch	`which: no git in ...` 🤣	20:49:47
henrik-ch	let me sort that out	20:49:56
henrik-ch	New configuration.nix below. The error message I get is unexpected, at least for me: [nixos@nixos:/etc/nixos]$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch building Nix... building the system configuration... error: The option `programs.nixvim' is used but not defined. (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)	20:56:55
henrik-ch	Download configuration.nix	20:57:03
henrik-ch	I tried with the --show-trace as suggested, but I can't make much out of that stack trace. What I suspect but can't say for sure is that the inclusion in the list on row 11 in my configuration.nix throws it off, but I don't understand why that happens.	20:58:44
Pedro Alves	In reply to @i97henka:matrix.org New configuration.nix below. The error message I get is unexpected, at least for me: [nixos@nixos:/etc/nixos]$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch building Nix... building the system configuration... error: The option `programs.nixvim' is used but not defined. (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information) That's an issue with nixvim	20:59:59
Pedro Alves	You need to actually enable it for it to work	21:00:07
Pedro Alves	I'll fix the docs to change `lib` to `builtins` though	21:00:26
henrik-ch	thank you Pedro Alves ⭐️	21:01:47
Pedro Alves	np, any other issue you have with nixvim just ask on the nixvim matrix :)	21:02:25
henrik-ch	I'll enable it and move to your matrix chat ➡️ 😀	21:02:49
Arson Copperflame	In reply to @k900:0upti.me Can we please just drop syschdemd already, I genuinely don't care about the three people stuck on <=20H2 I do actually still use it, lol (syschdemd, not 20H2). But yeah, we should at least make native the default, but that means that we have to make the installer work with it. (That should, in theory be pretty simple though)	22:21:30
