 minman | I have question about overriding nix files. I want to override the sdImage.populateFirmwareCommands from the imported <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix>. What would be the best way to do this?

For now I have something like this:
let
sd-image = import <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix> { inherit pkgs config lib; };
in
{
imports = [
sd-image
./pi-unifi.nix
];
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
sdImage = sd-image.sdImage.override {
populateFirmwareCommands = "overrideCommands"
}
}

For now I have something like this, it builds but the command is not overridden.
let
sd-image = import <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-aarch64.nix> { inherit pkgs config lib; };
in
{
imports = [
sd-image
];
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
sdImage = sd-image.sdImage.override {
populateFirmwareCommands = "overrideCommands"
}
}

 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Is there a Lix standalone rootless installer (similar for Nixsa for Nix) for Lix? | 09:43:55 |
 K900 | I'm pretty sure a static binary can just work with a chroot store? | 09:47:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | I could try | 10:02:55 |
 piegames | https://github.com/andir/npins/blob/master/src/default.nix#L232-L238 do we already have an issue for this somewhere? | 11:23:47 |
| piegames | Or generally some issues on tryEval madness | 11:23:55 |
 raitobezarius | i don't get the problem you are trying to solve just by reading the comment | 11:46:17 |
| piegames | the other half of the mess is here https://github.com/andir/npins/blob/master/src/default.nix#L12-L20 | 11:47:29 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Does Lix ship nix-store.pc? | 13:21:46 |
| K900 | It should be renamed to lix-store because it's not API compatible with cppnix | 13:24:26 |

 guiniol | I seem to have borked my system enough that systemd isn't responding via DBUS or something and can't nixos-rebuild switch anymore. So my plan is to boot of a live USB and use nixos-enter to get back into the system with a working systemd. Is there an option to nixos-rebuild switch that will let it rebuild from scratch? Ie, I am fine using the remote cache but I want it to overwrite all the local files that it would normally re-use. Is there an option for that? I don't see it in the man page. | 21:43:10 |
| guiniol | oh | 21:45:06 |
| guiniol | nix build repair maybe? | 21:45:12 |
| guiniol | * nix build --repair maybe? | 21:45:19 |
 jappie | if you want to validate the nix store, try nix-store --verify --check-contents | 21:45:35 |
