[Nix-dev] GNOME 3.18 is the default

2016-01-13 Thread Luca Bruno 
Right now the gnome3 package set defaults to 3.18. It's been a long time
we had gnome 3.18, and given the recent unstable releases it was a good
time to switch.

However, many apps are not working as expected compared to 3.16.
Examples of broken apps are bijiben, gnome-maps, gnome-screenshot, ...

That said, you can switch back to gnome 3.16 at any time if you feel
there's anything blocking your workflow:

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = super: {
  gnome3 = pkgs.gnome3_18;
};

Please feel free to report an issue for any spotted bug or regression
about your new GNOME 3.18 experience on NixOS and non-NixOS.

Re: [Nix-dev] Best way to store strong passwords in nix configuration file

2016-01-13 Thread Guillaume Maudoux (Layus) 
I am not sure I understand your issue.

On my side, I have

|$ cat test.nix rec { a = "ETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; b = "${a}${a}"; } $
nix-instantiate --eval --strict test.nix { a = "ETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; b =
"ETrai_5{h'aG,MQETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; } |

Could it just happen that you forgot a semicolon at the end of your
strings ?

Could you provide a minimal (non) working example :-)

Re: [Nix-dev] How to get correct length of a string containing non-ascii characters

2016-01-13 Thread zimbatm 
Related to that, the suckless conferent talk on UTF-8[1] was pretty
interesting. The complexity of Unicode and all that goes with it is pretty
crazy.
That being said the libutf8 from the same guys seem to be pretty decent and
takes sane defaults to a lot of these questions.

[Nix-dev] User and group ID ranges

2016-01-13 Thread Christian Kauhaus 
Hi,

we are currently in the process of configuring users and groups with fixed
UID/GID numbers from a central directory on a bunch of NixOS machines.

I'd like to clarify some policy issues to avoid future ID conflicts.

The current policy, as far as I understand it, is:

* Fixed UIDs/GIDs are in the range 0 <= n < 400 (nixos/modules/misc/ids.nix).
* Dynamic IDs for system users are allocated from the range 400 <= n < 500
(nixos/modules/config/update-users-groups.pl).
* The range 500 <= n < 1000 seems currently to be reserved.
* "Normal" (human) users go into the range 1000 <= n < 3
(nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix).
* The range 3 <= n < 65535 seems to be used for dynamically allocated
groups for nixbuild (?)

Is this correct?

Are there any plans on using the range 500 <= n < 1000? When I look at the
list of statically allocated UIDs below 400, I wonder if it is not like to see
an overflow.

I'm currently unsure what the policy is for 3 <= n < 65535. Is it ok for
sites to allocate additional IDs without fear for conflict?

TIA

Christian

2016-01-13 Thread Erik Rybakken 
To anyone interested in this discussion, you may want to follow the
issue here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/770

There I wrote the reason I want this functionality. The main reason is
that I want to do as much as possible in Nix, instead of pushing stuff
to a building script.

Best,
Erik

The problem still persist.

- I tried directly launching img file with qemu, and keyboard responds if
keyboard layout is specified. So, I am assuming it to be some VNC issue. I
still dunno know how to specify this to virsh or virt-manager.
- The networking issue still persists. I suspect it to be libvirt related

 The nixops is able to deploy machine and run (verified using virsh

[Nix-dev] matplotlib not found by python

2016-01-13 Thread Andrew Fraser 
Hi,

Last month, I asked for help as I built the nix package system and
installed it in a non-standard location.  Thanks for that help.  Once
I understand nix a little better, I hope to modify the wiki page about
installing nix in a home directory and answer a few questions others
have asked.

I write today to ask for help getting matplotlib running.

Here is the list of packages that I've installed:

krunk@cathcart:~$ nix-env -q
emacs-24.5
emacs-auctex-11.87.7
emacs-magit-2.3.1
git-2.7.0
hello-2.10
nix-1.10
python-2.7.11
python2.7-ipython-4.0.0
python2.7-matplotlib-1.5.0
python2.7-numpy-1.10.2
python2.7-scipy-0.16.1
python3-3.5.1
python3.5-ipython-4.0.0
python3.5-matplotlib-1.5.0
python3.5-numpy-1.10.2
python3.5-scipy-0.16.1
texlive-combined-full-2015
krunk@cathcart:~$ 

And here is the error that I must resolve:

krunk@cathcart:~$ python
Python 2.7.11 (default, Jan 01 1970, 00:00:01) 
[GCC 4.9.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named matplotlib
>>> 

In my packages directory I find:

krunk@cathcart:/local/nixpkgs$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git (push)
krunk@cathcart:/local/nixpkgs$ 

The fact (quoted from history|grep nix) that I issued the following
command to enable me to install ipython may be relevant:

  331  nix-env --set-flag priority 6 python-2.7.11
  332  time nix-env -j20 --cores 0 -i python3-3.5.1

Also relevant may be the fact that I installed matplotlib last with:

  360  time nix-env -j20 --cores 0 -i python2.7-matplotlib-1.5.0 
python3.5-matplotlib-1.5.0

Thanks for any advice,

Andy

Thank you for the quick reply.  So it is not possible to do this in the
config files?  I have to  use nix-channel?  I noticed this issue doubly
because my container didn't upgrade when my core nixos did.  do I need
to manage each of my containers by hand then?

[Nix-dev] dist-upgrade? define channel declaratively?

2016-01-13 Thread Matthew O'Gorman 
Hi

I started playing with nixos-containers and have been very pleased so
far.  I wanted to try running unstable in one, but haven't been able to
figure out how to do so.  I tried setting these in my configuration of
the container

system.stateVersion = "unstable";
system.defaultChannel = "https://nixos.org/channels/unstable;;

but it didn't change anything on a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

How can one define and use channels in the config files?  How does
someone do a dist-upgrade from 15.09 to unstable?  Sorry if these are
dumb questions.  I can't seem to find answer in the manuals or in irc.

Re: [Nix-dev] Best way to store strong passwords in nix configuration file

2016-01-13 Thread 4levels 
Hi Markus, Guillaume and Fabian

first of all, thank you all for your productive replies!
I have resorted for now to use passwords without any special and unicode
characters (as that might have been the actual issue here).
Moving the password to different files seems a bit difficult as I need them
to generate config files for various applications, and I need a lot of them
(for each client I easily have 10 different passwords / keys).
As soon as I managed to get stronger passwords to work, I'll be glad to
report back here how I did it ;-)

Kind regards and keep up the great attitude, you guys rock!

Erik

Hi Erik,

besides " and \ also ${ needs to be escaped as written in the manual
(https://nixos.org/nix/manual/ Section 15.1).
