@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrieryup it did, all working great17:57:04
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierwell no, can't use cursor. the ld trick doesn't work, the install script cannot find any command19:09:16
@k900:0upti.meK900Depends on how the script is implemented19:11:05
@k900:0upti.meK900Can't really help you with that19:11:11
@k900:0upti.meK900And it's probably not aarch64 specific either19:11:19
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carriernope19:11:24
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierhttps://github.com/zoid-archive/nixos-cursor-server mentions only partial work on wsl support. tried it anyway, no better19:12:08
@cpt.chaos:abot.xyztweber83Have you tried just using nix-ld to get it running? https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/how-to/vscode.html19:36:22
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrieryes19:37:47
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierthat's what I called "the ld trick" sorry19:38:11

@k900:0upti.meK900 There's presumably a bash script to bootstrap the server 19:41:32
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierfails like so19:41:36
@k900:0upti.meK900 Which presumably explodes 19:41:36
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierindeed19:41:42
@k900:0upti.meK900Normal vscode works, fwiw19:41:53
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierwhich is a tad weird because when launching from the CLI a bunch of stuff gets extracted already19:42:17
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierwell that's quite unfortunate, sadly I need it for work19:59:39
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierfound the workaround here: https://forum.cursor.com/t/install-cursor-in-nix-os-on-wsl-2/81609/220:06:44

@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierI don't get links to open in a Windows browser when using aws or gcloud, unlike with arch. Any idea what I might be missing?14:43:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 I don't really know what those do but you probably want something like wslview that will proxy to the Windows side 15:43:10
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carriersounds right. is that easy to set up?16:06:41
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierI installed wslu but I'm guessing I now need something to point to it?16:09:58
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrieryeah just set BROWSER. feels not ideal to add another env variable but that'll do for now16:13:13

@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrierwow, everyt00:04:37
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carrier* wow, everything kinda just works hu00:04:48
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre CarrierI know very little of what was required, but kudos00:05:04
@ptramo:matrix.orgPierre Carriersorry, this is off topic, but if I want to ssh into my nixos-wsl from anywhere, is there much I have to do? I use networkingMode mirrored. unfortunately interacting with this particular install is rather time consuming and difficult so I can't tinker fast17:28:12
@k900:0upti.meK900I'd maybe just run something like Tailscale inside the VM17:28:39
