As far as I know, Gnome isn't in a useable state at all and I don't think anybody is doing a lot of work on it at the moment. I would expect XFCE and KDE to work quite well though. I have no idea what could cause the problem you describe with KDE starting.

Re: [Nix-dev] grub install problem
Hi, I tried to install NixOS on VirtualBox and have run into similar problems as Roelof reported on irc and here. First I tried with 0.5GB RAM and with 2GB swap. When running nixos-install VirtualBox soon complained that the disk was full and stopped the machine. I then tried with 1.5GB RAM. VirtualBox wasn't happy with the old virtual disk, and after reloading the vboxdrv module it wouldn't use it at all. I tried again with a fresh disk and 1.5GB RAM assigned to it but without swap, this also failed similarly but it took much longer to fail. I'll try some other variations, (but possibly not until the weekend). Cheers, Cillian ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

That makes sense. However, I fear that people are turned off by the word "experimental" since, in my opinion, it suggests there isn't a real future in the distro and that it is pre-alpha quality. I've never used a distro that was without stability issues and random bugs e.g. my Mandriva box completely froze this morning when printing! > On my laptop I got freezes after several days of work - and > occasionally resuming from pm-suspend doesn't work. > > I don't know how to debug it - because it only happens after 5 days of > uptime or such. I have exactly the same issue so I added a ticket (just now): http://yellowgrass.org/issue/NixOS/122 I will collect some more information about it and add it to the ticket but my gut feeling is that an xorg update may help resolve it, although it's surely a bug with the proprietary ati module. Incidentally, co-workers who run Ubuntu on their laptops, which are identical to mine, also have the same issue (I think) so they just don't use suspend at all. The ati_unfree driver works better for me (thanks to your help Marc!) under NixOS than it did under Debian Lenny, where it flickered after resume, so perhaps this isn't the best yardstick to measure NixOS by. I'm OK with rebooting every 5 days. > If new users join a lot of "new packages" and proposals will come up > which is good. But current commit policies without staging area are not. -- snip -- I guess this is a separate issue, and I can't comment on the topic of VCS, but perhaps I can infer that you agree the word "experimental" serves as a deterrent. I wouldn't suggest that NixOS is ready for casual desktop Linux users, but I fear that exactly the people who would be most interested in a dependable system will be scared aware immediately. My impression is that the experiment to create a distro which has reliable upgrades, rollbacks and reproducible system configuration can be considered a success and can be built upon with confidence. I assumed the text was written a long time ago and that it was an oversight to not update it. Cheers, Cillian ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
[Nix-dev] "NixOS is an *experimental* Linux distribution"?
Hi, NixOS is described as an "experimental" linux distribution: http://nixos.org/nixos . I have seen people dismiss NixOS and Nix because of this word and I wonder if it could be removed or replaced with unique/innovative/new. For me "experimental" suggests that it may only work in an ideal environment, or that the experiment will run its course and some conclusions will be drawn and the project will then be abandoned. While NixOS has some rough edges, and lacks packages and configuration options compared to established distros, perhaps it has passed the experimental stage? - Cillian ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] [PATCH] Add Oxygen-GTK theme (themes GTK apps to match the default KDE theme)
Here's a patch for the new Oxygen GTK theme:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/artwork/oxygen-gtk
Since it's a GTK theme (with gtk dependencies) which is intended for
use by KDE users I wasn't sure where to put it in the tree, so I added
some new directories:
misc/themes/gtk2
Please feel free to move it elsewhere as you see fit. Personally, I
think it would be quite nice to have this installed along with KDE,
but KDE purists will surely disagree.
Locally, I've configured my KDE session to set some environment
variables so that GTK apps use this theme as described on
http://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Enable_GTK_themes_in_KDE
Thanks,
Cillian

I use something like:

(mapcar '(lambda(p)
(add-to-list 'load-path p)
(cd p)

)
nixos-packages)
To add subdirectories from that folder to the load-path and then to
load the library itself:
(load-library "magit")
This allows me to install additional emacs-modes via `nix-env -i` and
load them by name. I hope that's of some interest to you, I copied it
some time ago from a public dot-emacs, but my emacs-fu is weak so
there is probably a more elegant way.

No good reason really. I initially tried to add it to
python-packages.nix but I had the same problem (no readline support).
I thought it wouldn't be out of place under pkgs/shells/ipython either
and had suspected that I could make use of wrapProgram instead of the
proposed solution.
I don't really understand the alternative you are suggesting. In my
system configuration.nix can I do something like:
pkgs.buildPythonPackage.override { python = pkgs.python26Full; };
or perhaps within the package expression itself (in
python-packages.nix), can I simply specify:
python = pkgs.python26Full;
I've been reading through the thread Marc pointed to (via the wiki:
http://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Escape_from_dependency_hell
pkgsFunDeepOverride) but I need to spend some time to figure out how
that would work, perhaps you are suggesting something similar to that?
It sounds like Eelco has a fix up his sleeve for this particular issue
anyway, but if there is a simple alternative solution you know of I
would be interested to hear.
Thanks for your help and feedback!

[Nix-dev] Question about writing expressions for Python packages
Hi,
I'm having some trouble creating expressions for Python packages, I
think I'm not setting the correct buildInputs or perhaps I need to use
wrapProgram so set the PYTHONPATH correctly, although I may have
simply misunderstood.
For example I've tried to add an expression for IPython to
top-level/python-packages.nix which was something like:
ipython = buildPythonPackage {
name = "ipython-0.10.1";
src = fetchurl {
url = "http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/0.10.1/ipython-0.10.1.tar.gz";;
sha256 = "18zwrg25zn72w4rmcwxzcw11ibgp001fawm2sz189zv86z70fxi2";
};
buildInputs = [ readline ];
doCheck = false;
}
This installs the package correcly with `nix-env -i python-ipython`
although when I run `ipython` it complains that it cannot find
readline.
I have configured my system python to have readline support:
nixpkgs.config.python = { readlineSupport = true; }
and confirmed it is correct:
>>> readline
Looking at sys.path for ipython I see that the path to lib-dynload is different:
/nix/store/nk3cihf5x24x3mxmwmg8dkv9g86klgkj-python-2.6.5/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload
and this directory does not contain readline.so
I've tried many variations of buildInputs and attempted to use
wrapProgram to add the path, but I can't figure it out.
I have been trying to create a package for MyPaint which I've also
tripped up on configuring it so that it finds numpy correctly. Perhaps
I have skipped over existing documentation on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cillian

Ah, this is indeed what I meant by "standard". I believe that the Sleep/Hibernate buttons in KDE, Gnome etc. use pm-hibernate et. al. and that most desktop distros use pm-utils on a kernel without the TuxOnIce patch.

After a few hibernation cycles, pm-hibernate fails to hibernate for me so I thought I'd try out TuxOnIce. Previously, with Debian Lenny on the same laptop, I had various issues related to pm-suspend. On resume my external screen would blink, and after about a week Xorg memory usage would increase to over 1GB and it would take over 30mins to resume. Unfortunately, I can no longer use pm-suspend on NixOS as I have a BIOS problem (it auto-reboots when I shut down/hibernate/suspend ... also via Debian). It would be interesting to hear if anyone is successfully using TuxOnIce on nixos, the reason I call it's hibernation script with "--force" is because it fails to find a list of blacklisted kernel modules, which is something I may need to fix. I will inquire further with the TuxOnIce folks and report back if I get anywhere. Thanks a lot for all your help!

I'm not sure if I have something wrong but I couldn't see how to install the zen kernels without patching all-packages.nix: Index: /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix === --- /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix (revision 24413) +++ /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix (working copy) @@ -4798,6 +4798,8 @@ recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_32_systemtap pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_32_systemtap); linuxPackages_2_6_32_xen = recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_32_xen pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_32_xen); + linuxPackages_2_6_32_zen4 = +recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_32_zen4 pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_32_zen4); linuxPackages_2_6_33 = recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_33 pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_33); linuxPackages_2_6_34 = recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_34 pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_34); linuxPackages_2_6_35 = recurseIntoAttrs (linuxPackagesFor linux_2_6_35 pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_35); The hibernate script complained that the has was wrong so I have also attached a patch to update it to the latest version.

+Postscript, Python, Scheme, and Tcl.
+
+Such ASCII equivalents are useful when including Unicode text in
+program source, when debugging, and when entering text into web
+programs that can handle the Unicode character set but are not
+8-bit safe. For example, MovableType, the blog software, truncates
+posts as soon as it encounters a byte with the high bit
+set. However, if Unicode is entered in the form of HTML numeric
+character entities, Movable Type will not garble the post.
+
+It also provides ways of converting non-ASCII characters to
+similar ASCII characters, e.g. by stripping diacritics.

Oh, that would be sweet! I did try this first, but it didn't seem to
work. It produces the following:
$cat pkgs/servers/http/couchdb/src-for-default.nix
rec {
version="./";
name="unnamed-package-./";
hash="";
url="";
advertisedUrl="./";
}
I wonder if it is because I'm not running NixOS, I just use Nix on top
of a Debian system, or perhaps there is a problem with the package
itself? After a few failed attempts (running the script from the svn
checkout instead of the actual pkgs dir etc.) it leads to the
following error "curl: (3) malformed"
(full output attached). All failures seemed to produce the same
src-for-default.nix.
NIXPKGS_ALL wasn't set on my system so I set it manually:
export
NIXPKGS_ALL=/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs_unstable/pkgs
before running ./pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater/update-upstream-data.sh
pkgs/servers/http/couchdb/default.nix
Any tips?
Thanks,
