@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)Unstable is not "unstable" as in "has bugs"19:19:43
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)It's unstable as in "has no stable API"19:19:47
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)But it's perfectly fine for day to day use19:19:55
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatSo...I'm not basically running the same thing as a rolling release if I switch to unstable?19:20:15
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)You are19:20:22
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)But you are running rolling release verified by hundreds (literally) of integration tests19:20:32
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)And you have the ability to roll in the other direction at any point19:20:55
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatSo...a bit less spooky than Arch one would say? I'm coming from endeavourOS19:21:03
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old) In my experience, NixOS unstable fails a lot less than Arch 19:21:19
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatWell that's reassuring.19:21:33
@patka:envs.net@patka:envs.net And even if it does somehow break you select an older release during boot and don't update for a few days 19:23:04
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatOh right. Still have that safety net then.19:23:49
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatThe safety net of being able to rollback to a known-good state was the killer feature that convinced me to try this. Because having a system just not boot and having work that needs to be done is not stress I need in my life again. XD19:25:07
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatTy guys.19:25:09
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomat

So, uh, that didn’t go quite as I expected. I followed the manual to upgrade to unstable and…uh…on rebooting all I got was a tty. Regardless of which generation I booted with. So yeah. That was a thing.

Imma just…wipe it out and start fresh. I’m not really losing anything by doing so.

@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatSadness. Fresh install, upgraded to unstable, issue persists21:49:06
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomatSo unbelievably weird. Running it from the terminal I can see the options and it’s spitting errors “Cannot assign to non-existent property” followed by the name of the UI elements. I better go see if it does this on something else.21:52:19
@gunboat_diplomat:matrix.orggunboat_diplomat

It does throw the same errors on endeavourOS, just the difference is when launching system settings from the gui the settings do show-up.

O.o

It would appear the cause is NixOS but I’m stumped as to what would be the difference.

In reply to @k900:0upti.me
I'd prefer the option name to just be forceRun or something
makes more sense, force pushing in 5

@patka:envs.net@patka:envs.netJust wanted to mention that for a few weeks the HDR option is making my screen dim with a green hue. Not sure if it is a me problem or a known Plasma bug. Just wanted to mention it regardless as a data point. (I'll leave this channel soon-ish again, because I want to minimize the amount of rooms I'm in :) )13:39:59

@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old) @𝙼𝚛. 𝙱𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚛 𝚠𝙷𝚊𝚝 have you looked into the xrdb thing at all? 14:06:41
@k900:0upti.meK900 (Old)I completely forgot about it :(14:06:45
