 Pratham Patel | I saw nix-store --import < out in the manpage but didn't try it because I didn't see the .nar extension... My bad. Sorry | 17:12:07 |
| Pratham Patel | It is normal to not have any output? | 17:13:12 |
| Pratham Patel | All 4 cores are idle too | 17:13:18 |
 Alex | Yes, no output is normal in the Linux world. | 17:13:37 |
| Pratham Patel | Usually I see a lot of output in nixos-rebuild XD | 17:14:21 |
| Alex | You should now have /nix/store/mpgh4905nxkpf0jxcx90lchhf6l5gpiq-nixos-system-nixos-23.11.git.7c67f006ea0M if the command worked. | 17:14:27 |
| Pratham Patel | It's still churning. I'll wait for it to finish | 17:14:59 |
| Alex | That's because Nix is busy building the stuff in your configuration.
Since I've shared the output, you don't need to build it yourself and can just import it directly into your store. | 17:15:08 |
| Pratham Patel | Okay yeah, got the "expected" output. | 17:15:13 |
| Pratham Patel | The last line says /nix/store/mpgh4905nxkpf0jxcx90lchhf6l5gpiq-nixos-system-nixos-23.11.git.7c67f006ea0M | 17:15:38 |
| Pratham Patel | It matches with your hash | 17:15:46 |
| Pratham Patel | I'll reboot now | 17:15:50 |
| Alex | Yeah, that's Nix telling you what output has been imported. | 17:15:55 |
| Alex | You also need to switch the boot system to it first. | 17:16:05 |
| Alex | * Yeah, that's Nix telling you what store paths have been imported. | 17:16:39 |
| Pratham Patel | Yep, switched | 17:17:01 |
| Pratham Patel | Did I f-up by being extra smart? 🙃 | 17:24:35 |
| Alex | ? | 17:24:41 |
| Pratham Patel | I noticed that the image (https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2) didn't boot with all combinations of DIP switches so me being extra smart, I dd-ed uboot SPL and SBI firmware on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 respectively and mvoed /boot to /dev/sda3 and / to /dev/sda4. Now, your derivation doesn't work because it expects "/dev/sda1" to be EFI? | 17:27:21 |
