 matthewcroughan | Any opposition to renaming installTest to diskoInstallTest ? | 18:06:55 |
| matthewcroughan | or in putting disko attrs into a disko set? like system.config.build.disko.installTest? | 18:07:23 |
| matthewcroughan | It has always annoyed me when trying to find installTest, because I ignore this attribute believing it to be a nixpkgs one, not realising disko introduced it | 18:07:48 |
| matthewcroughan | [root@nixos:/home/nixos/nixcfg]# nix run .#nixosConfigurations.p4.config.system.build.diskoScript

| matthewcroughan | Did not realise before that the disko script was not runnable | 18:36:41 |

| erahhal | Hi! I've used disko with nixos-anywhere on a few machines and now on a newer machine having some trouble. Not sure if I broken something in the config or something changed out since NixOS has been bumped since then. I'm seeing this error and no idea what it means:
error: flake 'git+file:///home/erahhal/Code/nixcfg' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.nixosConfigurations."msi-linux".config.system.build.diskoScript', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.nixosConfigurations."msi-linux".config.system.build.diskoScript' or 'nixosConfigurations."msi-linux".config.system.build.diskoScript'
Does it mean that it can't find the disk device so it's not able to build a script? Perhaps I've provided the wrong device? I triple checked it though and it seems to be correct.

 Enzime | if you open nix repl ~/Code/nixcfg then type in nixosConfigurations.msi-linux.config.system.build.toplevel | 03:13:26 |
| Enzime | what happens? | 03:13:34 |
| erahhal | Says it's missing. I must have a typo in my root flake? Looking | 03:15:22 |
| erahhal | Ugh, I put the host config one level too high in the scope. Surprised the it didn't cause problems when I tried building other machines that are also defined in the flake | 03:16:51 |
| erahhal | thank you! | 03:16:52 |
| erahhal | I need to get more familiar with using the repl | 03:17:13 |
| erahhal | Ok, another question, so I installed to a second drive. The first drive has windows. I'm going to change the boot order so that the linux drive is first. The problem is that it didn't register the drive with the boot manager. I had to manually run efibootmgr -c etc etc etc. Is there a way to make sure the second drive gets registered with the boot manager? | 04:42:45 |
| erahhal | Though actually, it's still not showing up in the BIOS boot options. Guess that wasn't enough | 04:44:01 |
| erahhal | I'm guessing some extra config is necessary to get it to install a fully bootable system on a second drive? | 04:44:25 |
| erahhal | Figured it out, should use systemd rather than grub | 05:00:08 |
| erahhal | the nix wiki on dual boot seems to be out of date | 05:00:27 |
 SigmaSquadron | In reply to @erahhal:homefree.host
the nix wiki on dual boot seems to be out of date but... the wiki tells you to use systemd? | 05:42:29 |
| SigmaSquadron | what part of it is outdated? | 05:42:45 |
| erahhal | You know what, my reading comprehension sucks. | 05:43:17 |
| erahhal | nevermind | 05:43:18 |
| erahhal | it does specifically mention to use systemd if using multiple disks | 05:43:27 |
| SigmaSquadron |
When systemd-boot is installed to the same EFI System Partition (ESP) that Windows uses
sounds like it's the same disk to me

| 05:44:09 |
| SigmaSquadron | oh, wait, are you looking at nixos.wiki? | 05:47:41 |
| SigmaSquadron | That's an old, unofficial wiki. The actual wiki is under nixos.org: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows | 05:48:00 |
