also, i'd like to buy a beer for whoever wrote this error message:

nix-daemon[1095980]: ERROR:root:/nix/store/z3x5h5yagw94mcxj73jjkmwddlrms2si-saxdemo.drv doesn't exist. Cf. https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9272 Exiting the hook

@jfly:matrix.orgJeremy Fleischman (jfly) Ah, SomeoneSerge (back on matrix), looks like I owe you a beer: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/commit/3a0d777486191cbdd2ffc7e31f25156da94c4831 20:22:04

@connorbaker:matrix.orgconnor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) I'm going to revisit https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/459416 today and do some final fixups; I'd really like if we could merge it soon SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) Gaétan Lepage given its absence is making my life more difficult 14:07:58
@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan LepageI'm in a call with Serge. We'll have a look at it now.14:20:00
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)Let's have a look14:20:23
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)I'm still unconvinced by the approach...14:20:41
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)But since we're not actively benefitting form the stubs right now, maybe we at least merge it for now (without promises to keep)14:21:01

@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)We've had a peek with Gaetan yesterday and LOL turns out the messages aren't even defined in the stubs, but in downstream libraries like in cudart07:49:49

Recently firefox and thunderbird started being rebuilt with cudaSupport enabled because they depend on some other package that now has cuda support. For my laptop with 32GB of ram it takes ages to compile either of them and it eventually runs out of RAM when it's time to link the binary. It seems that they were added to release-cuda in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/437809 so they should be cached by the nix-community cache. Yet even after waiting for the new commit to be cached nix still tries to build thunderbird and firefox.
Today I found out about hydra.nixos-cuda.org and decided to try the nixpkgs commit that was built by it https://hydra.nixos-cuda.org/eval/2348 that seems to have thunderbird and firefox cached. Yet nix still tried to build firefox and thunderbird.

This seems to only be possible if hydra.nixos-cuda.org doesn't push to nix-community or if it signs things with a key I don't trust.

Here is my configuration:

          substituters = [
            "https://nix-community.cachix.org"
          ];
          trusted-public-keys = [
            "nix-community.cachix.org-1:mB9FSh9qf2dCimDSUo8Zy7bkq5CX+/rkCWyvRCYg3Fs="
          ];

Does anyone know what I have to do to get build outputs from the cuda hydra?

@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan Lepage Indeed, it does not push to the nix-community Cachix instance.
You can use our new cache instead.

@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarHello, Nixpkgs CUDA maintainers team! Starting today I am getting paid to help you with improving CUDA support in Nixpkgs. My client doesn’t have specific asks yet, but is eager to contribute long term. This means I am free to jump on whatever the team finds most important.13:34:01
@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarI have found https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/27/views/1, but pretty much all tasks there are stale. Could someone please guide me to what would be the best place to start?13:35:31
@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarI don’t have much CUDA enabled hardware at hand (yet), but I will have a Jetson Orin available to me soon.13:37:12
@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarAnother question: could I be officially added to the team? This is planned to be a long term engagement, so I will work on this for some time. Such visibility would help greatly with the client.13:42:13
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)No details in this one, but here what I consider worth focusing on16:24:10
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)* No details in this one, but here what I consider worth focusing on https://md.someonex.net/s/ik86rsZp7#16:24:13
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)Go ahead and open a PR to nixos-homepage. If anyone should have objections they can voice them there, but I don't expect there to be any16:27:47
@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarIs there some place where these points are expanded? Like what means “e.g. cudb” there, for example?16:40:12
@yorik.sar:matrix.orgyorik.sarOk, will do!16:40:18
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)A scattering of PRs and issues on GitHub, but say are you free to join us tomorrow 21:15 CET (20:15 UTC)? We try to sync every Tuesdays by video16:55:55
