[Nix-dev] Problem compiling GHC 8.0.1 on Debian

I have NixOS, but am trying to install my existing packages in the home folder of a Debian machine too for work. I'm stuck compiling GHC 8.0.1... the current nixpkgs-unstable version gives a hash mismatch, which I "fixed" like so: diff --git a/pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/8.0.1.nix

Oh that makes sense. Might not be too hard to fix either. I'll try when I get home tonight. Thanks! On 1/23/15, Wout Mertens wout.mert...@gmail.com wrote: those errors seem to come from a shell trying to interpret perl source... On Mon Jan 12 2015 at 9:04:34 PM Jeff Johnson jef...@gmail.com

In case there isn't a hook I just thought of the obvious solution: wrap `nixos-rebuild` in a shell script. On 1/23/15, Jeff Johnson jef...@gmail.com wrote: Oh weird, maybe I need to go back and see if I did something wrong with the hostname, because now that I think about it you're right

[Nix-dev] How to create dirs needed by a module before it runs?

Hi all! I'm trying to set up tarsnap on nixos. This is my tarsnap.nix so far: config: let keySrc = ../rawpriv/tarsnap; cacheDir = /var/cache/tarsnap; rcSrc = builtins.toFile tarsnaprc '' aggressive-networking # TODO is this a good idea?

Re: [Nix-dev] How to create dirs needed by a module before it runs?

That would work except the mkdir commands are evaluated using ${nixVars} so the dirs aren't literally in there. I think I'm more comfortable adding duplicated variables one by one in the shell script than trying to do any magic. Jeff On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Marc Weber

Re: [Nix-dev] Encrypted root: LUKS over LVM

I just installed NixOS on a couple machines this week, and set them both up this way. I remember seeing that error, but not exactly how I fixed it--sorry, should have taken note! One thing I remember changing is the preLVM. The wiki says to have it there but that didn't work for me. I removed it

Re: [Nix-dev] NixOS after install no login

For me the installer ended with a prompt for setting the root password, and then after that I rebooted into the new system. Did you not have that? One other possiblity: did you set `users.mutableUsers = false;`? I did and it locked me out of the system because I hadn't included a hashed password.

[Nix-dev] Current path to installing on Raspberry Pi?

Hi all! I just tried to install NixOS on my Raspberry Pi following the wiki page (https://nixos.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi). I think I got pretty close, but not quite all the way. I wrote the image to an sd card, booted it up, logged in as root, changed the nix-channel from unstable to 13.10, and tried
