 matthewcroughan | I still think it is quite important to be able to build an arm64 via binfmt in an accelerated x86 VM, since otherwise it's not possible to build disk images for other archs | 16:38:33 |
| matthewcroughan | in the case of repart, I am able to build an arm64 device image, since it ends up using binfmt for its operatons, not a whole Arm NixOS VM | 16:39:15 |
| matthewcroughan | and as I mentioned, doing binfmt inside of an accelerated x86 vm, does not have performance consequences, counter intuitively | 16:39:45 |
| matthewcroughan | That is the only thing preventing me from using disko atm, I will eventually figure this out and make a PR | 16:40:11 |
 lassulus | Maybe it's easier to reuse the new disko-install command with an image file outside the nix sandbox | 16:51:02 |

Yeah, it deleted all of my data if there wasn't something correct in the setup. Like no /persist/system or wrong permissions on /persist/home (in second scenario, home manager just failed to start completely). Though it is probably the fault of impermanence.
But for now, it works on my machine™. Feel free to send your final setup, I will happily steal it ;) i got everything working, git repo is not ready yet, and the setup took many manual steps to do | 18:14:11 |

 zonnebloem | Hi all
During a nixos-rebuild switch, my system froze.
After a hard reset my system doesn't boot anymore. It shows a grub prompt. Is there a way to make it boot? and repair it? Or do I need to reinstall the system with a live image and backup some date to a backup disk?
My guess is my system crashed during the grub update ..
I'm using disko with 2 mirrored ssd's: 1G vfat boot & luks-zfs rpool
I'm using grub because systemd boot didn't work for this mirror. | 15:23:12 |
 SigmaSquadron | You can try pointing grub to the NixOS kernel and initrd for your latest generation, and booting manually. Once you’re booted, rebuild the system with the --install-bootloader option. | 15:26:59 |
| SigmaSquadron | Alternatively, mount your disks on a NixOS live image and run nixos-install --no-root-password. | 15:27:26 |

| zonnebloem | Could you point me towards a source which explains the first option? | 15:30:53 |

| SigmaSquadron | The paths will be more complicated, since they also include the hashes of the package, but the general gist of it is defined in the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#GNU_002fLinux | 15:33:47 |
| SigmaSquadron | search for your root, set your kernel, use the initrd command to boot. | 15:34:22 |
| SigmaSquadron | Though this might be very difficult if you aren’t already used to the GRUB CLI. The NixOS wiki has a nice walkthrough on how to do this from a NixOS installation image: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Bootloader#Re-installing_the_bootloader | 15:35:33 |

| zonnebloem | thank you | 17:06:52 |
| zonnebloem | I couldn't get it to work, I'm backing up and reinstalling | 17:07:18 |
| SigmaSquadron | There probably isn’t a need to reinstall the entire system, just mounting and rebuilding should work. | 18:09:20 |
