 spewdins | nixpkgs's zsh 5.9 takes a very long time (or just straight up hangs) when I try using nixpkgs zsh on macOS | 01:10:46 |
 samasaur | perhaps https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/513543 ? | 01:11:22 |
| spewdins | seems about right | 01:11:51 |

 mall0c | wow there’s already a fix for zsh issue, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513971 | 11:48:43 |

| EmilioAK | I've installed fish, but for some reason there seems to be a path issue only in fish. sudo darwin-rebuild doesn't work while sudo /run/current-system/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild does, though this issue isn't present in zsh. What could be the cause of this? | 16:11:16 |
| samasaur | set programs.fish.enable = true in your nix-darwin and home-manager config | 16:12:14 |
| samasaur | (whichever applicable) | 16:12:27 |
| samasaur | bash and zsh default to enabled but fish does not | 16:12:51 |
| EmilioAK | That was already set for me. Also relevant is that I activate fish though ghostty, I haven't set it as my default shell | 16:13:45 |
| samasaur | if you aren't using either then I'm not sure | 16:13:46 |
| samasaur | oh huh | 16:13:57 |
| EmilioAK | I mean you shouldn't set fish as the default right? Since it's not posix compliant I mean? | 16:14:16 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I set it as the default shell. POSIX scripts that care use /bin/sh or /bin/bash (or the appropriate store paths). | 16:15:45 |
| Randy Eckenrode | * I set it as the default shell. Scripts use /bin/sh or /bin/bash (or the appropriate store paths). | 16:15:56 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Something that does whatever with $SHELL may have trouble, but things I care about know about Fish. | 16:16:20 |
| EmilioAK | My dotfiles are here in case anyone wants to look https://github.com/EmilioAK/dotfiles | 16:17:28 |
| EmilioAK | I'll also note that I installed fish though homebrew here, but since I did set these it should still inject the correct path no?
programs.fish.enable = true;
programs.fish.useBabelfish = true;
| 16:18:25 |
 insipx | check what which fish returns. i've had issues in the past of using homebrew paths when nix should have been usedf. | 16:20:10 |

| EmilioAK | /opt/homebrew/bin/fish as expected | 16:21:10 |
| EmilioAK | Maybe launching fish with /opt/homebrew/bin/fish --login doesn't use the injected path from nix? Trying to look into it | 16:22:06 |
 emily | it's expected that you use Nixpkgs fish | 16:28:39 |
| EmilioAK | I'm also trying this, but with this approach what's the intended way to launch the shell? /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish doesn't seem to work for me | 16:51:35 |
| samasaur | elaborate? what are you seeing when you say "doesn't seem to work for me"? | 17:00:16 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Is this the code-signing issue? | 17:01:13 |

| EmilioAK | So I'm not sure where to begin here. I'm trying to switch to fish now instead and that isn't working either. I have it set in my nix file, but after trying to do chsh -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/fish nothing happens, and /etc/shells looks empty? Not sure what could be going wrong here | 18:15:19 |
