Are you talking about the desktop app launchers that show up in the kde/gnome/whatever application menus? Because yeah, that totally happens. The issue is that chrome writes the app's .destop file (at ~/.local/share/applications/chrome-.desktop) with the full /nix/store path to the non-wrapped goo

Worth noting: Running `nixos-rebuild switch` is insufficient to make this fix take effect. You may need to run `systemctl restart docker.socket` or reboot before the permissions on /run/docker.sock will be corrected. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 8:19 PM, Graham Christensen wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIG

Your messages to this list are non-constructive, needlessly inflammatory, and combative. Several people have pointed out that there is interest in supporting alternate init systems with Nix, and nobody is attacking you for preferring not to use systemd. Please stop trying to provoke a flamewar.

Ha, you beat me to the post by like ten seconds! I see you use the same trick with sourcing ~/.vimrc in vim_configurable - now I am wondering, does anybody out there use it the way it appears it's intended to be used? I keep wanting vim_configurable to produce a "normal" vim package (including ex

The answer is somewhat more complex than one might expect, but there is documentation about how to build vim along with various plugins at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-frameworks/vim.md Here is an example ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix with an example of what I think you are l

Re: [Nix-dev] Best Practices on Modularizing Configuration.nix?

2017-02-27 Thread ben...@gmail.com
My approach is quite similar to Jookia's. I also point nixpkgs at a remote tarball from a github branch that I control, which takes the place of using nix-channel, and set nixos-config relative to config.networking.hostName. With this setup, I don't need any symlinks, nor custom imports in ~/.nix

People are eager to fix bugs in the manual, but it would be a lot more helpful if you could describe specifically what you've run into. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with NixOS, but your message is not particularly constructive as it stands. On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 2:32 AM john delport

I agree, and feel that killing the wiki would be a mistake. The existing wiki could really use some clean up and better structure, but its existence was a crucial factor in helping me get started with Nix and I imagine the same is true for many other users. http://wiki.archlinux.org is an excelle

In that case, you can simply set priorities on the packages you want to control. There are some helper functions for that, so you can have something like: with import {}; buildEnv { name = "myEnv"; ignoreCollisions = true; paths = [ (lib.lowPrio coreutils) procps ]; } (that's wh
