SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I think I had run Sway on an nvidia machine for some time but ultimately rolled back to i3 (and now I only have access to headless nvidia) | 16:22:51 |
SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Basically, it was occasionally OK, but then you bump the kernel and it flickers again | 16:23:22 |
SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Had to keep the kernelPackages pinned most of the time too | 16:23:37 |
SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I'm afraid even NixOS cannot fixes all of NVIDIA's problems | 16:24:07 |

SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Best if you have an integrated graphics to keep your display on... | 16:25:23 |
Kevin Mittman (EOY sleep) | I use swaywm with --unsupported-gpu (though not on nixos) | 16:39:04 |

adrian-gierakowski | sorry if this has been discussed before, but looking at https://hydra.nix-community.org/jobset/nixpkgs/cuda-stable#tabs-evaluations the last Job I'm seeing was a week ago. I thought this jobset was following nixos-unstable-small (although now that I've checked, it's nixos-25.05-small) | 16:11:35 |

Gaétan Lepage | Hi!
nix-community does not build anything cuda-related anymore.
We are now testing and building packages on our own infra:
We build packages for both the unstable channel and the latest stable nixpkgs channel. | 16:19:44 |
adrian-gierakowski | awesome, thanks! | 17:00:29 |

Alexandros Liarokapis | Does anyone know of a good solution to making nix built oci containers usable on systems with nvidia container toolkit installed? Making /run/opengl/drivers etc to work with the mounted paths and all that I mean. | 19:04:15 |
apyh | oh yeah, i run everything thru nix-gl-host | 19:05:36 |
apyh | we're using it in prod, seems to work great | 19:05:46 |
adrian-gierakowski | Does anyone have some tips regarding automatically bumping nixpkgs in a repo which depends on cuda cache? The idea is to only bump to latest commit from nixos-unstable-small once it's been built by the cuda jobset | 19:08:17 |
Gaétan Lepage | It's just an idea for now, but long-term, I would like us to have nixos-unstable-cuda and nixos-25.11-cuda channels that have their specific channel blockers.
People will be able to follow these channels knowing that they will have reliable cache hits. | 20:06:26 |
adrian-gierakowski | That would be great! | 20:09:18 |
