 Alexandros Liarokapis | * I was thinking there is an authoritative source of all needed kernel-driver bound libraries and that is the nvidia container toolkit. One could mimic the search procedure and implement an automatic /run/opengl l-driver symlinker for nix standalone systems and oci containers | 00:08:40 |

 apyh | yeah, they are. most folks will use nixgl or nixglhost to work around this | 00:09:12 |
| apyh | i use nixglhost wrappers for my binaries in oci containers | 00:09:25 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | I was thinking of the issues specified here https://github.com/soupglasses/nix-system-graphics#but-why-another-nix-with-opengl-project | 00:10:57 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Now nix system graphics is a nice approach but has the limitation of having to specify the nvidia driver version in a system manager config to switch it is not automatic which really hurts usability | 00:13:06 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | I was thinking something more in the lines of actually generating the symlink farm populating with the proper host system library symlinks | 00:18:17 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Would probably also work for mesa on nix standalone systems as well | 00:19:29 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | One could probably directly reuse the discovery functionality of the nvidia container toolkit go library | 00:29:52 |

 Gaétan Lepage | Hi!
I finally found some time to work on the llama-cpp-python-libcuda.so-stubs-missing bug and fixed outlines by skipping its pythonImportsCheckHook and tests when cudaSupport was enabled.
This allowed me to finally unblock the vllm bump.
It builds fine with and without cudaSupport. Feel free to test/review: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/467418 | 17:36:41 |
 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Good post about the exact problem we run into when trying to create dynamic libraries for Magma with our default set of CUDA capabilities: https://fzakaria.com/2025/12/28/huge-binaries | 18:06:21 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | I won't be in the weekly call tomorrow btw | 18:06:33 |

 Collin Arnett | Hello, I'm working on getting a nixos module written for dcgm. connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) I know you have an old draft PR so I'm basing a lot of it on that. As part of that I've had to go ahead and update dcgm and it's prometheus exporter. I would appreciate it if I could get a review from anyone here if they have the chance :) https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/474721 . dcgm is kind of a cursed package so I did my best with the patching but if anyone has any critical feedback it would be more than welcome. | 14:49:19 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | I don’t personally use it and will have limited time so I don’t think I can review it, but I’m fine with anyone else reviewing and merging it | 18:08:38 |

 lon | Wow super cool, thank you. Haven't run benchmarks but it looks a lot faster | 13:58:23 |
| Collin Arnett | Oh no worries. As far as the dcgm nix module I was mostly mentioning you above to make sure credit was given where credit is due :D | 16:21:47 |
