I think an easy way to solve this is to put it to the test. I feel it is
too obvious to mention that deduplication and compression will solve the
problem. But it's all up to how much Eelco wants to waste his time. Give it
a go, you won't regret it.

i want to set the ulimits in nix style.

security.ulimits = {

Re: [Nix-dev] KDE with i3 as window manager in NixOS?

2015-01-05 Thread Matthias Beyer 
Hi,

I found this thread as well, actually. It did not work that good for
me, unfortunately. Anyways, thanks for your effort!

I figured out that I can set shortcuts in kwin to behave like i3,
which is really awesome! I'm not that near at i3 at the moment, no
tiling by now ( :-( ), but I'm getting close!

Thank you for your effort, again!

Re: [Nix-dev] KDE with i3 as window manager in NixOS?

2015-01-05 Thread Matthias Beyer 
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

The point is, there is no ~/.kde4/ directory! There is ~/.kde/, but there
is no ~/.kde/env/ in there!

So,... it _kindof_ works now. I wrote the config you specified in the
.kde/env/something.sh file.

My problem _now_ is, that the KDE workspace is an application, which I
can kill like an terminal. So, essentially, I have an i3 besides my
KDE, but I want to be the i3 session _inside_ the KDE workspace, as
this is the background and the place for the widgets and so on...

any ideas?

I guess this is now more a question for KDE guys as for you, but maybe
you guys have an idea?

Kind regards,
Matthias

I beg to differ, accidentally (forgot to actually enable periodic GC)
had a 6.4 TB large Nix store on a 3 TB disk array, so it seems that the
Nix store (or at least the one on my Hydra) compresses well enough.

But what actually is going to be for the worse is that you can't reason
anymore about how much disk space will be available on a btrfs volume.

I guess that's the only thing you can do with a static executable (using 
static libc is bad enough by itself). Of course, you can feign the paths 
by some chroots, proot or VM.

Btrfs does no deduplication (by itself at least). Per-file compression

I've now hidden some disabled jobsets, so that should cause a lot of stuff to be
GC'ed.

(Actually I don't remember *why* jobsets need to be disabled *and* hidden rather
than just disabled...)

Actually, I will be giving a talk at cfgmgmtcamp

cfgmgmtcamp is also free and focuses only on configuration management, and
I assume it gets more traffic from work-related visitors.

It will be teeming with puppeteers, chefs and blacksmiths (Ansible), so it
will be a tough sell, but I'll try to give them a good overview.

I was going to try it out and found the compiler itself, but couldn't
figure out how to make a derivation for a JS package.  Is there any
documentation on that?  If not, in which files should I look?  Something
like ghcjsWithPackages and cabal.mkJsDerivation would be great.

The error message could be more elegant, but the main issue is that patchelf
cannot work on static binaries because there is nothing to patch: no ELF
interpreter section, no DT_NEEDED entries, etc.

Same thing, LD_PRELOAD doesn't work with static binaries because it affects the
dynamic linker, which doesn't get used for static executables.

If there is a dynamic executable hidden inside the static executable via UPX
compression or something similar, I guess you need to decompress it first and
then apply patchelf.

Re: [Nix-dev] Supported Darwin versions

This suggests that uname -s / -m returns something different than "Darwin" and
"x86_64" on 10.6.

Huh. That shouldn't happen in a single user install.

Nixpkgs master currently has MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.9, so anything
lower probably won't work. This was done to work around some Xcode 6.1 issue:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/899d81b37ba6dc26431b82b40300505f19504e03

But with a stdenv that doesn't depend on Xcode, we may be able to lower
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.

Re: [Nix-dev] KDE with i3 as window manager in NixOS?

2015-01-05 Thread Kirill Elagin 
I am running KDE with xmonad as window manager (not on NixOS but I don’t
think there is any difference). I always thought the easiest way of
replacing _just_ the window manager in KDE was setting the KDEWM
environment variable during startup which I do by exporting it in
`~/.kde4/env/xmonad.sh` (no .desktop files needed as this should be set
just to executable, e.g. `xmonad`).

But still. If you want to add a .desktop file, that of course cat be done
in `configuration.nix`, but as far as I know there is no pre-cooked
solution, so you’ll have to deal with all the paths and stuff yourself. But
is that really needed? Couldn’t you just add the file to
`~/.kde4/share/apps/…`?

Re: [Nix-dev] hydra.nixos.org stopped scheduling jobs

The queue gets stopped automatically when free disk space drops below a certain
level (10 GB or so), which is happening all the time now. Apparently the garbage
collector cannot reclaim enough disk space anymore, suggesting we have too many
roots (i.e. active Nixpkgs/NixOS jobsets). The Nix store on that machine has 3.6
TB of disk space BTW.

This sounds like a really nice conference! I'd also like to get
involved. I'm happy to help out with a booth and a workshop, and I
would quite like to give a presentation (in English) but I also lack
experience with this.

Cheers,
