 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 |
| guiniol | that should figure out all the corrupted paths? | 21:57:39 |
| guiniol | (got interrupted, I'll have to get back to that tomorrow) | 22:18:13 |

| guiniol | Getting back to this: after a few tries where `nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair` complained but didn't repair anything, I realised it would work better with a `sudo` in front. It's currently rebuilding stuff | 08:01:39 |
| guiniol | Took a while because I forgot to add cache.nixos.org as a substituter initially but now it's all done and it all looks good. Thanks everybody! | 08:36:30 |
