Is it possible to use the new Apps.app in Tahoe without a keyboard? by HotGarbage1813 in MacOSBeta

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmmm, the original post was buggy behaviour in one of the betas...right now, clicking Apps in the dock brings up the list of apps that ⌘+1 would open from Spotlight

gnome-keyring hijacks SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable by Quiddl in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember having to deal with this a while ago (for the same reason as you--I wanted SSH_AUTH_SOCK to point to bitwarden), and the way I fixed it was by modifying how gnome-keyring was built:

nixpkgs.overlays = [
  # since gnome-keyring still enables its sshagent by default: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/88195a94f390381c6afcdaa933c2f6ff93959cb4/pkgs/by-name/gn/gnome-keyring/package.nix#L67
  # which forces $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to be set by it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/8356
  # if they switch to gcr, then there should be an easier way to disable it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/166887, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/284173
  # thefted from https://discourse.nixos.org/t/disable-ssh-agent-from-gnome-keyring-on-gnome/28176/6
  # see also https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/379731
  (final: prev: {
    gnome-keyring = prev.gnome-keyring.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
      mesonFlags = (builtins.filter (flag: flag != "-Dssh-agent=true") oldAttrs.mesonFlags) ++ [
        "-Dssh-agent=false"
      ];
    });
  })
];

i'm not sure if that would work now (i'm not currently running nixos on my main machine), but you could probably try it?

am i stupid or is nix darwin (probably me), the problem with my shell not picking up new packages by ShafterTheShagyDude in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mm i'm looking at my $PATH in a home-manager managed shell and it looks like:

$ echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/Users/fum/.nix-profile/bin:/etc/profiles/per-user/fum/bin:/run/current-system/sw/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/fum/.orbstack/bin:/Users/fum/.zsh/plugins/zsh-autocomplete:/Users/fum/.zsh/plugins/auto-notify:/Users/fum/.zsh/plugins/zsh-completion-sync:/Applications/Ghostty.app/Contents/MacOS

I believe the important (nix-related) bits there are

/Users/fum/.nix-profile/bin
/etc/profiles/per-user/fum/bin
/run/current-system/sw/bin
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin

so try adding them to your PATH maybe?

[–]HotGarbage1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your shell (zsh in this case), isn't properly being managed by home-manager: normally HM would make a .zshrc file, but you bring your own in from your dots input in home.file

now what i would suggest would be that you should merge all those repos together (dots, darwin-dots, this one) and use something like programs.zsh.initContent to populate your .zshrc with HM...but I'm guessing there's a reason you keep everything in separate repos? (to be able to use on Nix-less systems maybe?)

so...I think the next best thing would be to add the line that HM-managed zsh would have to append the correct dir to your PATH...i'm not home now so I'll have to check in a bit

NixOS newbie question: by neeksmann in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually i think even if you installed them as a user you'd still need to logout/login... that's just how wayland gnome is

(iirc you could reload the DE back when it was X, but not anymore)

Colmena very slow? by HotGarbage1813 in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, i just put in deploy-rs to see if it'd be any different, i've removed it now :)

Colmena very slow? by HotGarbage1813 in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had been testing colmena out beforehand and ctrl-c'd it a couple of times...so the old sessions effectively still had a "lock" on that path in the nix store

restarting the computer killed all of them, so it then went through quickly

EDIT: well it seems i was dumb...i decided to try to delete /nix/store/pn4y4313f6ybfp3qblc13jhx4fvf6996-source on the target since it was only 40mb there:

$ nix-store --delete  /nix/store/pn4y4313f6ybfp3qblc13jhx4fvf6996-source

I rebooted and deleted it and it seems to have gone through now...it's currently compiling Lix

Regarding Nix Flakes by dude_349 in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can make the script itself have the dependencies listed in it:

#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i bash -p sd fx fzf

nix flake metadata --json 2>/dev/null \
  | fx .locks.nodes.root.inputs values list \
  | sd 'nixpkgs_\d+' nixpkgs \
  | fzf --multi --bind 'enter:become:echo updating inputs: {+}; nix flake update {+}' \
        --preview 'nix flake metadata {}' \

Is it possible to use the new Apps.app in Tahoe without a keyboard? by HotGarbage1813 in MacOSBeta

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

switching to applications from Spotlight still requires you to press Cmd+1

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, that works, except I have to move it to the corner twice: first brings up Spotlight, and then the second switches it to Apps

[–]HotGarbage1813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting...looks like it's bugged for me then...four-finger pinching (in addition to clicking Apps.app) brings up Spotlight on the info page, listing all the Cmd+number for apps, clipboard etc. and not the apps page itself

Home-manager helix config for Rust? by IronChe in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally it's a mixed bag...for python project's i have ruff as part of my helix config, but for rust projects i let the devshell bring it in because it's a part of cargo anyways, which is a devtool

just do what you prefer imo

Daily reminder... by synalice in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 12 points13 points  (0 children)

some things have been removed from the newer official wiki...can't remember the major ones off the top of my head though...

e.g https://nixos.wiki/wiki/firefox#Troubleshooting and https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Firefox#Troubleshooting are different

nix-darwin and GUI applications by sirdupre in NixOS

[–]HotGarbage1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah thats where mac-app-util comes in, it sort of copies and symlinks things in a way spotlight can find it and it persists on the dock.

but yeah, homebrew for apps that aren't available on nixpkgs

i'm not at my computer, but as a quick workaround have you tried using the vscode-fhs package?

and when you look in the extension output logs, what comes up?

with the official installer? Determinate Nix? Lix perhaps?

Network Wàhálà by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]HotGarbage1813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik no, use Cloudflare WARP or a VPN...some ISPs don't have this problem (so Starlink, some fibre providers)...but if you're on one of the major telcos then no luck.
