 tazv | anyone ever tried to replace an active nix store path with a nar while being offline? I get into a weird catch 22 where I can't update the path because its tied to my current config but because it also messed up my network drivers I can't get it online to fix it | 00:37:21 |
 Scrumplex | After rw remounting /nix/store I used rsync to copy over some store paths from another system. Maybe you can try copying the store paths onto some storage medium and then replace them in /nix/store on the broken machine | 06:03:40 |

I get into a weird catch 22 where I can't update the path because its tied to my current config but because it also messed up my network drivers I can't get it online to fix it weird test but you may be able to use an android phone with a usbc to ethernet adapter and perform ethernet tethering from android settings. this is how I have gotten myself out of that situation in non-nix systems before. Then once it is downloaded the new paths you can do I believe "nixos-rebuild boot" and as long as your /boot partition is mounted you should be able change configs without errors | 13:19:02 |
| flare | regardless, you can try to go to a prior nixos generation from the boot menus (I use grub so its a menu entry for me) as long as you didnt do a garbage collect and delete all prior generations before the system was borked | 13:20:14 |

Then once it is downloaded the new paths you can do I believe "nixos-rebuild boot" and as long as your /boot partition is mounted you should be able change configs without errors there is a command for nixos-rebuild that only sets the new config for the next boot, I can remember what it is because im not at my computer and I have it layered in my devops makefiles so please correct me if I am wrong | 13:21:50 |
| tazv | this is the only thing I hadn't tried yet. Was hoping to have a nix blessed way to recover a path. nix store verify --no-trust shows these paths as corrupted so nix can tell the hashes don't match but I've had no luck with importing the paths with a NAR | 14:16:06 |
| tazv | the issue with doing this is its some dependencies for Network Manager that are borked so they are very likely to be the same across the generations I have recently loaded | 14:19:53 |
| flare | there is always a case of building a quick and dirty nix package where you bundle a binary release of network manager or your network drivers for the particular NIC and load that as a driver module. this is something I had to do with my MS Surface Go before. Then include the path to the package via absolute path (instead of pkgs.networkdriver it would be "/var/lib/mynetdriver") and it would load the module or pkg that way bringing it into the nix store. you would have to bring the binaries over by usb however
