 pie_ | currently im
- mutilating fhsuserenv trying to get it to eval withmusl
- trying to get some python stuff to build
| 02:35:55 |
| pie_ | appppaaaarrently fhsuserenv only works with glibc? Im not sure | 02:36:12 |
| pie_ | I tried to remove all the i686 stuff but something is still hanging on and preventing me from evaling | 02:36:30 |
| pie_ | (i think I just waited for 3 fortran stage compiles on the side or something...blas and lapack are compiling..) | 02:37:15 |
| pie_ | In reply to @tpw_rules:matrix.org
that's the real danger of nix Im wondering if this is a more feasible way of upgrading userspace if, and until, we can upgrade the kernel | 02:37:58 |
| pie_ | its an open question why its so old, we are supposed to get custory of the machine...at some point | 02:38:38 |

| pie_ | libgcrypt tests failed with Fatal: getentropy is not supported: Function not implemented and I'm not sure why | 02:39:50 |
| pie_ | musl should support it? https://fossies.org/linux/musl/src/misc/getentropy.c | 02:40:29 |
| pie_ | I really wish root wasnt necessary to debug io performance... | 02:41:51 |
| pie_ | I spent the last two weeks babysitting builds and machine learning and I want to be done with it and do something useful :p I want to turnin the project today so it would be great to get this stuff to build... | 02:45:39 |
| pie_ | f**. I just accidentally ^c-ed an almost finished blas build. siiiigh | 02:53:44 |
| pie_ | ah nope, all of blas, openblas, and lapack, gg. | 02:54:49 |
| pie_ | perfect time to retry /dev/shm | 02:56:04 |
| pie_ | something I mighthave messed up last time is not setting the temp dir variables to be on shm too | 02:59:48 |
| pie_ | hm, I got steam-run to eval. I probably broke it though? | 03:37:18 |
| pie_ | time to build spidermonkey and rust because of polkit... | 03:37:59 |
|  Nick Cao joined the room. | 05:03:05 |
| pie_ | tpw_rules: if I ever manage to get any sort of graphics going, do I need nixGL? I don't know how the graphics stack works so idk if I can just throw xvfb-run at it and get sw rendering | 05:06:40 |
 tpw_rules | no, nixGL is only necessary to link up with the hardware graphics drivers | 05:07:26 |
| pie_ | Hm. I didnt hink through how I'm going to deal with UnityPlayer.so requiring glibc 2.14 or 2.15 | 05:27:18 |
| pie_ | * Hm. I didnt think through how I'm going to deal with UnityPlayer.so requiring glibc 2.14 or 2.15 | 05:27:26 |
| pie_ | though technically I think thats old enough to run? | 05:27:37 |
| pie_ | I might have done a lot more work than needed for this binary at least | 05:28:14 |
| pie_ | it might not be trivial to build against an old glibc though | 05:50:48 |

 Madoura | So apparently mainline clang can compile and link HIP executables just fine without hipcc.
It still makes sense to follow the official ROCm software stack for nixpkgs, but dang. This would have been a lot easier to just use regular clang. | 15:48:46 |
| pie_ | heh | 15:49:57 |
| pie_ | I still want to work on it but I haven't gotten my little project working yet. Also exams. | 15:50:23 |
| Madoura | Ah I get it.
I've had a lot of free time lately so I've been spending it (without sleeping...) working on porting ROCm to nixpkgs lol.
Theoretically since we have rocmClangStdenv now switching away from hipcc if/when it's needed should be easy for all the ROCm packages. | 15:51:35 |
