[Nix-dev] Unetbootin boot through Grub2 console
Hi all I got a tiny netbook on which I can't access the BIOS and can't find the CMOS button without dissemble it entirely. I can still boot to grub console of the previous distro and got a usb drive with a unetbootin copy of nixos. Is there any way I could boot up from the grub2 console? I tried booting from the .iso file through a loopback, that gives me the bzImage and the initrd file. But I also need the init file which is contained on the squashfs image of the nix-store. I could not put the whole store on a usb drive because it needs to be FAT and it doesn't seem to support symlinks which are many on the store. Ideally I would like to avoid all this if I could boot directly from a unetbootin drive but I am open to other suggestions.

[Nix-dev] Haskell: Stackage and Nix
Is there a way to build packages from Stackage? It'd be cool to have a separate namespace for that, so I could refer to a package as stackagePackages.something. That's the only relevant post I've found: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/15724 But it seems to require a lot of work. For the record, I'm aware of Stack and trying it now, but it's also not pleasant because you have to manage non-Haskell libs yourself. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
[Nix-dev] Trying to package Mate
Hello. I am trying to create packages for the Mate Desktop Environment. Atril works already, but I would like to ask if some experienced maintainer (maybe from Gnome) could quickly look over them and give me some suggestions on how to make them better, etc. Link: https://github.com/dasuxullebt/nixpkgs/tree/upstream-master/pkgs/desktops/mate Regards, CSS ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] Question about 'import'
Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask these kind of questions -- if not, I'd be happy to re-post this elsewhere. My question: I can't seem to find anywhere in the manual, or elsewhere, that defines the form of 'import' that uses the greater-than/less-than symbols around the path parameter. Example: with import {}; I have some intuition as to what this is for, but I'm curious as to what the '<>' are more formally defined as doing. Thank you! -- Joel Kleier ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Okay that did it, just created a hydra user. Much appreciated.

Re: [Nix-dev] How do I get the system crontab to work?
Not directly helping you with cron, but any reason why you are using cron instead of systemd timers? The functionality is the same, but output is logged to journald, status is kept and accessible using systemctl. Just add a startAt definition to your systemd service. N.
