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]$	16:35:44
K900	Use native systemd	16:36:08
K900	Don't use not native systemd	16:36:20

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
