@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designI was trying to craft a command for both being in the home/nixos directory.11:55:59
@k900:0upti.meK900 path/to/your/flake/directory can be any path on any filesystem 11:58:24
@k900:0upti.meK900 Also, if your actual goal is to just have the configuration somewhere you can edit it without being root, you can just nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=path/to/your/configuration.nix 11:58:48
@k900:0upti.meK900 It does not need to be in /etc or in any other specific location, the path can be anything 11:58:59
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_design Yah the command I was running combined both those functions,
nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=path/to/your/configuration.nix --flake path/to/your/flake/directory#nameOfTheOutput
but I couldnt find much online of people actually using both path customizations at the same time so I wasnt sure if that was why I was failing to get a successful rebuild switch.
12:02:23
@k900:0upti.meK900Yeah that makes no sense12:02:36
@k900:0upti.meK900You either need to provide a configuration.nix or a flake.nix12:02:43
@k900:0upti.meK900You can't have both12:02:48
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designMultiple documentations seemed to imply to me otherwise. But then again Im trying to figure out things from documentation that many times is only a couple sentences for each section.12:05:11
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designThats really good to knw12:05:16
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_design* Thats really good to know12:05:18
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designthank you12:05:22
@k900:0upti.meK900Generally you want to have a single entry point12:05:28
@k900:0upti.meK900If it's a configuration.nix, provide that12:05:35
@k900:0upti.meK900If it's a flake.nix, provide that12:05:40
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designok after some more thought I figured out how I got to my wrong conclusion.12:08:11
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designThank you so much <312:09:10

@98765abc:mozilla.org98765abc* Hi guys.I'm running gdbserver of probers.exe(windows version by binfmt) inside WSL. I'm not sure why I need to run two commands simultaneously to access the GDB port of probe-rs in WSL. The network mode is mirrored.Any suggestion?11:36:36

@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_design

I cannot get a configuration in the home directory to work. All of these dont work with a configuration.nix in home/nixos while the working directory is the normal default startup directory of home/nixos:

  • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade-all -I nixos-config=configuration.nix
  • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade-all -I nixos-config=home/nixos/configuration.nix
  • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade-all -I nixos-config=/home/nixos/configuration.nix
  • sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade-all -I nixos-config=~/configuration.nix

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade-all works though but targets /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

@k900:0upti.meK900What do you mean by "don't work"?11:03:32
