 samasaur | although the docs seem to imply that it should look in ~/.config/sketchybar by default | 20:56:11 |
| samasaur | the easy solution — assuming i'm understand their docs correctly — would be to just remove the config line from your config, because then it will default to looking in ~/.config/sketchybar, which it seems like is where your config files already are | 20:56:59 |
 cujanovic.filip | when I look at the org.nixos.sketchybar.plist I can see the file location in the sandbox nix environment and since the other files are not they the plugins are not loaded | 20:57:07 |
| cujanovic.filip | ah okay, let me try that then :) | 20:57:27 |
| samasaur | that does have the "down"side of your sketchybar config not being managed/tracked by nix (which matters more if you care about purity/reproducibility), but nix-darwin's current module doesn't have native support for what you're doing | 20:58:45 |
| cujanovic.filip | I think that is fine for me for now, since I just dipped my toes into nix 😄 But seeing what it can do I see why people love it :smi | 20:59:58 |
| cujanovic.filip | * I think that is fine for me for now, since I just dipped my toes into nix 😄 But seeing what it can do I see why people love it :D | 21:00:02 |
| samasaur | totally fair yeah | 21:00:16 |
| samasaur | do feel free to keep asking questions, and if you later want to improve the nix-darwin module i'd be happy to work with u on it | 21:01:38 |
| cujanovic.filip | that worked! It seems that I just overcomplicated things 😄 Thanks! | 21:07:39 |

 ivy | i would love if someone on macos with merge permissions can merge my pr pls https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445407 | 09:33:10 |
| ivy | or have a final look over | 09:33:41 |
| ivy | once this is merged i got a few for nix-darwin | 09:52:06 |
| ivy | then we can have proper karabiner working again and kanata on darwin | 09:52:22 |
 Erik | Hey folks, I’m sure you get this question a lot but I can’t seem to find an answer: are packages able to install/symlink files in /Library subdirectories?
Asking because I tried to package a VST and the /Library/Audio/Plugins/… files are nowhere to be found.
I figured I’d check an existing package dexed, which installs an application in /Applications and supposedly installs the Audio Units under /Library/…, but those are also nowhere to be found when added to nix-darwin. Nor home-manager for that matter… | 10:27:33 |

Which seems to imply any kind of audio plug-in simply cannot be installed using nix-darwin? | 10:29:54 |
| ivy | yes | 10:33:06 |
| ivy | i have a pr for that | 10:33:18 |
| ivy | literally for this purpose | 10:33:31 |
| ivy | https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/pull/1594/files | 10:34:18 |
| ivy | i can adjust it to be more generic tho | 10:34:31 |
| Erik | You, ivy are a magical being. | 10:35:29 |
| ivy | it wont work for u yet | 10:35:48 |
| ivy | just a lil adjustment | 10:35:53 |
| ivy | then it should | 10:35:56 |
| Erik | No problem at all, I can use that as a blueprint and take it from there :) | 10:36:42 |
| Erik | At least I wasn’t just overlooking something silly that should already have been working | 10:37:15 |
|  @hsngrmpf:matrix.org left the room. | 10:40:50 |
| ivy | okay updated that branch | 10:44:33 |
| ivy | this should do what u wany | 10:44:39 |
