[Nix-dev] Redirect SDDM/LightDM (X.0.log & .xsession-errors) to JournalCTL

Hi, How does one redirect the logs (X.0.log) and (~/.xsession-errors) to journalctl? Apparently GDM (http://worldofgnome.org/in-gnome-3-12-systemd-will-track-xorg-logs/) now does this, but SDDM doesn't. I would prefer to be able to centalise all logs into journalctl. Thanks, Roger --

Hi! I am very glad to read news like this. It is a good place for meeting from my point of view, since it is close to Moscow where I am from. I'll probably visit the conference and tell friends about it. Regards, Sergey 2016-01-22 0:19 GMT+03:00 stewart mackenzie : >

[Nix-dev] Basic string functions in nixops

Dear Nix Devs, I'm currently looking (again) for the basic string functions. Use case: I need to limit a parametric string's length to maximum 16 characters (indeed, MySql usernames cannot be longer than 16 characters). Any hints in the right direction to substring a string in case it is longer

Re: [Nix-dev] Basic string functions in nixops

I usually check .nix files in " https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/lib; folder when searching for basic functions. String manipulation functions are in "strings.nix". On your case, this should work: nix-repl> with (import ); concatStrings (take 16 (stringToCharacters

Re: [Nix-dev] Notes and ideas about the Nix-UI proposal

Would anyone be interested in collecting some data on how people are using nix? I had a look though my bash history and I can see myself doing the following a lot (using ipython as an example). man nix-store nix-shell -p pythonPackages.ipython ... nix-env -qaP | grep -i ipython | grep noteb

Re: [Nix-dev] Basic string functions in nixops

Hi guys, Thank you for the great responses (as usual)! To be helped by the master himself feels like a privilege ;-) I'm about to try this (or tomorrow morning first thing). I'm curious what happens if the string is shorter than 16 chars.. Thanks again, imo this is the biggest asset for Nixos,

Hi, Bear with me a minute, because I need to introduce a setup in order to make sense to my following questions. Say I packaged a piece of software and the derivation is written in a mypkg.nix file. I want to use the provided by the unstable channel and don't want to fork the repo and link to
