Re: [Nix-dev] PCI Expresscard not working under NixOS

2017-02-09 Thread Nikolay Amiantov 
Given that it's basically a PCI card which is hotplugged I'd bet on 
first three configuration options (they sound OK to be enabled 
unconditionally anyway).


I see that kernel has parallel building enabled (unless I mistakenly 
look somewhere else); do you have `build-cores` set in Nix? On NixOS 
that'd be `nix.buildCores`.

Anyway, I tried it under Ubuntu und Arch, it worked, I diffed 
/proc/config.gz, and found some differences. Here are the kernel flags

it was, but I have no time to try it out exactly, because somehow the 
Kernel is only built singly-threaded, and this takes 5 hours every time):

The kernel does not notice the expresscard itself when I plug
it in. My usb hard disk works perfectly under the other ports.

Ah, and fun fact: When plugging in the expresscard, I can
reproducibly scramble my sound output for a second (the music
repeats for a second after I plug it in). Still, the kernel
says nothing. And no device nodes appear.

2017-02-09 Thread Peter Hoeg 

Hi,


Why do I get suggestions to try to plug in USB Hardware then, and try
it under Ubuntu?


Because lspci -v -s  will tell you what driver is in use.

Here's an example on my side for an unrelated device:

01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)
   Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GTX650-DC-1GD5
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 39
   Memory at df08 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
   Capabilities: 
   Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
   Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
