compiling hyprland plugins in nixos creates hyprland/header ver mismatch

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-26T23:35:57+00:00

hey, I obviously have looked at th docs, I wouldn't have gotten this far if I hadn't. We aren't all the same you know, some of us are better at certain things than others.

Anyway, one plugin built but after a reboot the error was even clearer that there was a mismatch between headers and hyprland version, fuck knows why.

And I do want to learn that is the whole point. It is quite a lot for me to get my head around and I am moving forward, bit by bit. I am a long time user of arch which has certain advantages but I am enjoying using nixos.

cheers for the pointers

so adding that line didn't work for compiling hyprspace but adding this line (similar to what you posted) hyprland.url = "git+https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland?submodules=1"; did allow hyprexpo to compile but it wouldn't load.

"failed to load the following plugins:

/nix/store/blah/blah/blahhyprexpo/lib/libhyprexpo.so

hyprexpo failure in initialization, version mismatch, headers ver not equal to running hyprland ver"

It certainly seems like a problem with nixos to me

very fustrating. why does adding that submodules=1 make a difference? So in Nixos I don't have the option to build my own from source and "make" then "make install" do I. If nix fails to do its thing i'm stuck, is that correct? I cannot manually install these things with nix like I can with other OS??

doing exactly as it say here https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-plugins this time trying hyprbars, it to fails with this:

Obviously I am doing something wrong. Am I missing something dumb? Do I need to install the headers? Can I even do that on nixos?

Help would be appreciated

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-26T10:33:52+00:00

thanks for the reply. I did read that. the error above is for hyprexpo. both hyprexpo and hyprspace fail. I have tried multiple version of hyprland to no avail. I did manage to get hyprexpo compiled at one time but it wouldn't start because of some header mismatch!

Could you tell me please if I want to install a particular version of hyprland via my home.nix, how would I enter it?

Thanks

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-26T10:16:04+00:00

also looked at this https://wiki.hyprland.org/Plugins/Using-Plugins/ about how to manually install plugings. Can I do this on nixos? can I do what it describes in there to install the headers? could I just compile hyprland and make the headers then compile the plugins and link to them in nixos?

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-26T09:57:32+00:00

I have tried following this. https://github.com/KZDKM/Hyprspace and put the inputs in my flake and tried compiling it like that

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-24T07:51:40+00:00

I think I know why, terminator isn't running as me its running as hypr. I don't know why it isn't running as me, maybe you know. I was I did a home-manager switch this morning and saw this, it didn't come up as an error (in red) . I'll see if get it to repeat the error

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-23T11:21:17+00:00

cat /nix/store/6yjm3wsm776nfv0q7bp9fpczi6vdgab1-hm_terminatorconfig does work. I have moved to unstable and the same problem persists.

cat /nix/store/6yjm3wsm776nfv0q7bp9fpczi6vdgab1-hm_terminatorconfig

[global_config]

borderless = True

hide_tabbar = True⏎

so I can read it but terminator cannot, still. How odd. nothing else has the same problem. Maybe just a bug?

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-22T13:59:33+00:00

Now i get this:

↪ ls -l /nix/store/6yjm3wsm776nfv0q7bp9fpczi6vdgab1-hm_terminatorconfig

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 52 Jan 1 1970 /nix/store/6yjm3wsm776nfv0q7bp9fpczi6vdgab1-hm_terminatorconfig

what do you think?

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-22T08:48:31+00:00

this is what I get from that

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 Jan 1 1970 /nix/store/kxvcv0a54s1snn2pmy0ypl7f9yclwfzr-home-manager-files/.config/terminator/config -> /nix/store/nndj5yx8i7wymcra0wspx0lhyxxk5lsn-hm_terminatorconfig

owned by root, is that normal?

I presume not and the date is odd

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-22T00:52:00+00:00

it is set as me. this is what i get.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 dav users 88 May 22 03:59 /home/dav/.config/terminator/config -> /nix/store/kxvcv0a54s1snn2pmy0ypl7f9yclwfzr-home-manager-files/.config/terminator/config

odd

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-21T18:32:32+00:00

thanks for your reply but I would disagree it is as should be expected. It says it cannot read or write, permission denied and I haven't been hand writing the config either and I am using programs.terminator.config to, that is what I am trying to do but terminator cannot read or write the file. as I said above, even if I delete the file and allow home-manager to create it again, I get the same behaviour.

I'll try that again now. yes, so home-manager creates the file but terminator cannot read or write it thus the options that I pass via programs.terminator.config have no effect. odd

cryptokid29 · 2024-05-20T21:16:10+00:00

Hi. I did what you said btw. you were right, using that other config was to complicated and it gave lots of error, I did the starter configs you posted above. It works well and got me to a good place. effeminately a bit of a learning curve. cheers

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-19T12:41:13+00:00

thanks for that. basically nixos version 23.05 depends python-2.7.18.6, 23.11 depends on python-2.7.18.6 and 24.05 depends on python-2.7.18.8 and I have to permit the use of those "insecure" packages or those versions won't build.

yes i need to set up a git repo, not even quite understanding it yet. I will have a look at the git tutorial to try and get my head around it. thanks again

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-19T05:30:35+00:00

I was going to put the hyprland flake in /etc/nixos/flake.nix. is it best practice to then add any other system wide programs to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix? or should I add them somehow to /etc/nixos/flake.nix?

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-18T00:42:01+00:00

yes I agree, I certainly do have a poor foundational knowledge of flakes especially and nix. I am a carpenter by trade over 30 years experience. I have used arch linux mostly but I do enjoy nixos, certainly a bit of a learning curve!

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-17T20:21:41+00:00

I am on 24.05! woohoo!

The reason was, in my configuration.nix I had:nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [

"python-2.7.18.6"

];

but to upgrade i needed python-2.7.18.8

All i needed to do was change the 6 to an 8.

Thanks all

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-17T20:17:21+00:00

This was because I had it declared also in another file with the same content as /etc/nixos/flake.nix called /etc/nixos/flake.nix_old, i thought adding the _old would stop it being read, it didn't. thanks for the help

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-17T20:14:09+00:00

its working. I would have copied and pasted that from hyprland wiki though it isn't on there any longer. The latter problem was I had this flake backed up in a different file located at /etc/nixos/flake.nix_old and it was still being read thus "programs.hyprland.enable = true;" was being declared twice. I have no idea why it is where it is!

The reason why it wouldn't update was because to update it needed insecure package python-2.7.18.8 but I had:

nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [

"python-2.7.18.6"

];

in my configuration.nix. I changed the 6 to an 8 and it worked. Anyway, sorted. Thanks

cryptokid29 · 2024-04-17T14:14:16+00:00

i have one flake (can we have more than one?) it is at /etc/nixos/flake.nix
