 Arson Copperflame | I just switched to nix-ld and so far that seems like the more stable approach to me | 10:06:18 |
| K900 | I should really set that up at some point | 10:25:19 |
| K900 | OK wow | 10:39:20 |
| K900 | It's just programs.nix-ld.enable now huh | 10:39:28 |

 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

| 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

| 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 |
