 K900 | If there's nothing else in the folder, you can remove the folder as well | 13:04:20 |
 henrik-ch | there's a bin folder in there, so I won't touch the .vscode-server folder - script deleted now. | 13:05:04 |
| henrik-ch | The terminal error output looks the same afterwards unfortunately:

Any suggestions where to go from here? I am a bit lost myself I must admit.

| henrik-ch | (I tried the powershell command with and without specifying the user - so that seems to be a red herring) | 13:11:17 |
| K900 | Have you restarted vscode as it tells you to? | 13:14:09 |
| henrik-ch | restarted the whole machine to be on the safe side, still same message afaic.

| henrik-ch | Sorry if that's a stupid question, but isn't that what I am doing when I type code . in the nixos wsl instance?
I'm sure that you mean something different though that I don't yet understand. | 13:27:39 |
| K900 | Yes, that | 13:28:02 |
| K900 | Maybe try removing ~/.vscode-server entirely then | 13:28:17 |

| henrik-ch | so I need to change that. | 13:32:59 |

| K900 | * You could also set them manually, but generally it might be a better idea to run unstable, as that's what nixos-wsl is mostly tested against | 13:33:40 |
| henrik-ch | better to change the channel, or do it over configuration.nix somehow? | 13:33:44 |
| K900 | You have to change the channel if you want to run unstable | 13:34:20 |
| K900 | Unless you use niv or flakes or some other way of tracking your inputs that's not channels | 13:34:37 |
| henrik-ch | I have flakes activated by default in the nixos-wsl, but I think that I only use them in specific folders with direnv, and not for the whole system management?
How can I check?
This is my channel setup now:

home-manager https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-22.11
nixpkgs https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
Does that look right?
| 13:38:04 |
| K900 | If you have /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and no /etc/nixos/flake.nix, you're using channels | 13:39:30 |
| K900 | And no, you want to replace the nixos channel | 13:39:38 |

Hello. I also just ran into this issue. Are you running nativeSystemd? Disabling that fixed the issue for me(though obviously this is not an ideal solution) | 05:50:51 |

Hello. I also just ran into this issue. Are you running nativeSystemd? Disabling that fixed the issue for me(though obviously this is not an ideal solution) Thank you very much for sharing 🙏 purewaterisme.
I managed to get something working now, but it feels like a bad case of cargo-culting, as I don't understand why many of the steps that I took were needed 🤣.
Here my latest configuration.nix:
{ pkgs, config, modulesPath, ... }:
let
#nixvim = import (builtins.fetchGit {
# url = "https://github.com/pta2002/nixvim";
#});
nixos-wsl = import ./nixos-wsl;
in
{
imports = [
#nixvim.nixosModules.nixvim
nixos-wsl.nixosModules.wsl
<home-manager/nixos>
];
wsl = {
enable = true;
nativeSystemd = false;
wslConf.automount.root = "/mnt";
defaultUser = "i97henka";
startMenuLaunchers = true;
};
# Enable nix flakes
nix.package = pkgs.nixFlakes;
nix.extraOptions = ''
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
'';
users.users.i97henka = {
isNormalUser = true;
extraGroups = [ "wheel"];
};
home-manager.users.i97henka = { pkgs, ... }: {
home.stateVersion = "22.11";
home.packages = [ pkgs.jq pkgs.ripgrep pkgs.gh ];
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
programs.bash = {
enable = true;
shellAliases = {
ll = "ls -l";
".." = "cd ..";
gst = "git status";
glo = "git log --oneline";
gfa = "git fetch --all";
ggfl = "git push --force-with-lease";
};
};
programs.git.enable = true;
programs.direnv.enable = true;
programs.direnv.nix-direnv.enable = true;
programs.fzf.enable = true;
programs.bat.enable = true;
programs.vscode.enable = true;

};
};
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [

programs.nix-ld.enable = true;
programs.gnupg.agent = {

enableSSHSupport = true;
pinentryFlavor = "curses";
};
system.stateVersion = "22.11";
}
What is very interesting and unexpected about this for me - it's running the linux version of vscode, so "pure wsl", rather than running a server and hosting the gui in the windows.
I hope that it gets clearer what I mean when I post a screenshot in the next step.
