 artemis | yeah this is just me nix-shelling into it | 12:04:35 |
 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | weird, nix-shell usually provides manpages... | 12:04:44 |
| artemis | i dont see it adding anything to my MANPATH so i guess it makes sense | 12:05:51 |
| artemis | the only nix thing i have on MANPATH is $HOME/.nix-profile/share/man | 12:06:08 |
| artemis | which does have some stuff in it but its stuff i think i actually installed rather than just shelling into | 12:06:27 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | artemis: hm, which package are you getting via nix-shell? | 13:00:40 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | nixos-install-tools does seem to include the manpages | 13:00:47 |
| artemis | nixos-install-tools | 13:00:55 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | and you're using nix-shell, not nix shell? | 13:01:14 |
| artemis | right | 13:01:17 |
| artemis | nix-shell -p nixos-install-tools | 13:01:24 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | huh, same thing for me | 13:01:31 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | does it only work for packages with a split man output..? | 13:01:38 |
| artemis | i dont think it works for anything for me | 13:02:38 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | I'm confused | 13:03:46 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | nix-shell -p radvd gets me manpages for radvd, but not via MANPATH | 13:03:57 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | but I'm not seeing an obvious patch to man that would result in this or anything | 13:04:52 |
| artemis | yeah i guess it is worth noting that when i run `man` it is my system `man` and not a `man` provided by nix | 13:06:03 |
 trofi | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/misc/man-db/systemwide-man-db-conf.patch is vaguely related | 13:17:22 |

| Artturin | windows is exotic in the nix world right? :) | 23:05:17 |
 👉@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | do people still use wsl1 ? | 23:07:45 |
| Artturin | searched wsl1 in the issues and found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24954 which was closed with the conclusion that wsl1 is not worth supporting and then a wiki note was added | 23:09:18 |

 Alex | In reply to @artturin:matrix.org
windows is exotic in the nix world right? :) I think so. Even WSL2 doesn't work perfectly because only single-user Nix is supported there. | 19:21:35 |
| 29 Aug 2023 |
 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | Possibly, WSL2 has support for systemd but I don't think it's on by default. That's more multi-user friendly, but it's probably more complication than it's worth most of the time. | 17:17:07 |
