| Joe | Great app.. All i know how to do is nixos-rebuild test |& nom or nixos-rebuild switch |& nom .. what is it actually doing? | 22:46:10 |
 maralorn | 😄 | 23:10:06 |
| maralorn | It parses the output und renders the tree you see? | 23:10:34 |
| maralorn | Or don’t you see it? | 23:10:35 |
| Joe | I see it.. it’s nice | 23:17:43 |

| maralorn | So, your question about what it does is relatively broad.^^ | 00:13:29 |
| maralorn | Anything specific you wanna know? | 00:14:06 |
| Joe | Nope.. it's a great app. found it the other day on discourse site | 00:14:31 |
| maralorn | Thank you! | 00:14:48 |

|  whispers [& it/fae] changed their display name from whispers (it/fae) to whispers [& it/fae]. | 02:51:43 |
| maralorn | Brainstorming time: nom on main now has progress bars for downloads. Whoever is using nom on main has probably seen them. | 09:43:45 |
 andromeda | what are we brainstorming about? | 09:46:43 |
 K900 | If you have nom spoons it would be nice to figure out the whole lix main progress tracking situation | 09:47:07 |
| maralorn | Sorry, got a call before I could write the real question. | 10:03:25 |
| maralorn | The progress bars have one huge problem: Their width currently jumps when the width of the tree changes. I think that is very ugly but I don’t have a good solution. | 10:04:44 |
| maralorn | Yes, I am on it. | 10:04:52 |
| maralorn | Any predermined ratio of tree/progress bar will suck on some terminal widths. | 10:09:12 |
| maralorn | Okay, I had a look at the logs and could reconstruct the problem. The problem is indeed that lix reports an increase in the number of successfully finished builds shortly after the build finishes in this occurence, while it normally does it the other way around. I believe this is because during the start of the build lix is somehow still figuring out the correct number of outstanding builds in a separate thread which slows down the reporting. | 10:55:51 |
 hexa | I don't think this is a problem in practice | 13:40:24 |
| hexa | I've been using the download bars ever since they were on main and they're super fine | 13:40:48 |
 Emma [it/its] | i dont care much either about them getting resized | 13:41:27 |
| maralorn | Huh, I see. | 13:45:02 |
| maralorn | I find it quite questionable and am unsure whether I want it that way. | 13:45:41 |
| maralorn | But okay. It won't stop me from releasing. | 13:46:00 |
| maralorn | I have an idea for the build finished detection. @hexa:lossy.network I'll try to come to the hackspace today and ideally I can implement it then. | 13:47:50 |
| hexa | exciting stuff! | 13:49:57 |
| K900 | So uh | 20:04:35 |
