@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) Normally, you just update like on regular NixOS. Because we recently switched to release branches, you'll need to update the channel URL. I put instructions on how to do that in the release notes: https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/releases/tag/2505.7.0 07:23:01
@fabdb:mokasin.defabdbWell, whatever what nixos-wsl does :). There are releases of images anyway. I guess it is not necessary to add a new wsl distribution on every release? 08:07:19
@fabdb:mokasin.defabdbThanks, this is what I thought. Wasn't totally clear to me 08:08:02

I am getting some sigsevs, but it seems that systemd-coredump isn't able to be connected to. I get this in journalctl

Aug 18 15:40:13 work kernel: Core dump to |/nix/store/syj2424f551q4l6rvwpx5jzhf4zw8ylh-systemd/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump pipe failed

19:54:55
@rosssmyth:matrix.orgrosssmythI'm not that well verse in systemd things so I'm unsure what to look for19:55:14
@k900:0upti.meK900 coredumpd is broken with the WSL container setup 20:29:48
@k900:0upti.meK900 Not much you can do really except maybe running it under gdb 20:30:07
@k900:0upti.meK900 Or waiting for the possibly eventual coredump socket implementation 20:30:18

@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierahoy! is arm64 supported?17:25:22
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierI figure nixos on wsl on arm64 is getting to be as niche as it gets, so wondering if it's even built/tested/used at all17:26:35
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierRedacted or Malformed Event17:27:58
@k900:0upti.meK900Supported? Not really17:30:07
@k900:0upti.meK900 But I don't think there's any reason it can't work 17:30:12
@k900:0upti.meK900Fundamentally17:30:13
@k900:0upti.meK900You just might have to do something weird to bootstrap17:30:20
@k900:0upti.meK900Like I don't think we have anything x86 specific in there17:30:37
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierOK cool. but it would have to be another .wsl file right?17:31:24
@k900:0upti.meK900Yes17:31:36
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierI'd like to bootstrap, if you have any pointers17:31:42
@k900:0upti.meK900And you'd need an aarch64 builder to build it17:31:43
@k900:0upti.meK900 Well you'll need an aarch64 something running NixOS 17:31:52
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrieryeah I can run nix in ubuntu in wsl right17:32:00
@k900:0upti.meK900Potentially17:32:08
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierah gotta be nixos not just nix?17:32:13
@k900:0upti.meK900I think just Nix should be enough17:32:22
