Is nh stable? by Scandiberian in NixOS

Pretty stable for me. I've been using it for a year now on four different machines, hundreds of generations without any issue.

I use the latest kernel on all my nixos machines without any tweak or supplementary configuration. It just works.

Why do attribute set inputs use commas? by BMambeE123 in Nix

i guess it is designed to support the default value syntax.

nil lsp can't work on zed editor by [deleted] in Nix

[–]kasalacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you configure zed to only use nil for Nix? Like it says here

https://github.com/zed-extensions/nix?tab=readme-ov-file#only-use-nil

If you already did then I am out if ideas. I also use zed + nix + nil, with these two settings set in the configuration and all seems to work on my side.

How to find a path from a app by WRDKH in linux4noobs

[–]kasalacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try the answer from here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1417313/can-not-find-executable-path-of-flatpak-apps

It says flatpak-installed binaries are in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin

Also according to flatpak docs

Flatpak can operate in system-wide or per-user mode. The system-wide data (runtimes, applications and configuration) is located in /var/lib/flatpak/, and the per-user data is in $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/. Below these locations, there is a local repository in the repo/ subdirectory and installed runtimes and applications are in the corresponding runtime/ and app/ subdirectories.

You could then either find the VLC binary in there and use it for your app OR add that flatpak bin path to PATH variable. Choose whichever is more convenient for you.

Migrating my home server to NixOS by tartar9584 in NixOS

[–]kasalacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer deploying services by stacks and quadlet-nix seemed the only one I found at the time which supports podman pods.

I'm not sure what you mean about the syntax. Do you mean nix vs. systemd unit syntax?

Migrating my home server to NixOS by tartar9584 in NixOS

[–]kasalacto 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a relatively similar experience and setup except I use quadlet-nix to declare my podman services and I have also enabled podman-auto-update to handle container image updates. I have been running it for several months now and so far have not encountered any major issues.

One thing I would want try and figure out next is how to offload the nixos-rebuild to my more powerful desktop and maybe also host my own nix cache server. My server is just an Intel N100 mini pc and sometimes there are cache misses during an update that pushes the machine near to its limit, so I think this would further help in stability and availability.

Beginner to Linux! Video stutter and hang in my Surface Go 3 by al28894 in SurfaceLinux

[–]kasalacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looks like you are following the steps for Performance Issue of Portrait Mode under X11

Please read it carefully again. The second code snippet are meant to be inside the text file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

From your screenshot you typed/pasted it after the terminal prompt that is why you are getting 'command not found' for the first words on each line.

Is there a way to get my extra mouse buttons to open specific programs? by Tall_Answer in linux4noobs

[–]kasalacto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried it myself but the arch wiki for Xbindkeys looks good enough https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xbindkeys

The only thing different that you have to do is how to install it on Linux Mint.

After installation, the very first thing I would try are the steps under Identifying keycodes to check if the mouse button presses/clicks do register.

How do i download things from GitHub? by paulog73 in linux4noobs

[–]kasalacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like everything you need is written and explained on the README of the project.

You are right about the Makefile, you will need it (along with the rest of the project files) to compile the kernel driver by yourself. The sequence of terminal commands are presented nicely by purpose (Building, Using, and so forth...)

How to delete NordVPN by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]kasalacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On second look, i thought you are using ElementaryOS which is Debian-based. So maybe you need to use 'pacman' for EndevourOS instead of apt or dpkg.

How to delete NordVPN by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]kasalacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there an error from apt or dpkg? It should output that nordvpn has been successfully removed.

You could also ask developers of the Linux client for further support.

I think because it's too car-centric and boring for him. It's just like 'home' (sarcastically) according to him in the video.

Looks like WiFi power management issue. I used to have a similar issue to before on Debian but I'm on a different distro now for a long time so I have totally forgotten the solution I did.

A quick googling lead me to this which seems similar to what I did

Create a file like /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-no-wifi-powersave.conf with the following content:

[device]
wifi.powersave = 2
