[Bug 2064563] Re: Broken default installation of nix-bin and nix-setup-systemd
** Description changed: # Context - - nix-bin can be setup in 2 ways. - - One is to let .nix-defer user local directory handle both channels and packages. This will get placed into `/home//.local/state/nix/` - - Second, is to let it all be symlinked into `nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/`. (This is handled by systemd-tmpfiles under `nix-setup-systemd` pkg. But very likely default installations do not enable system-tmpfiles for user, it'll likely be enabled globally, but user needs to enable manually) + - nix-bin can be setup in 2 ways. + - One is to let .nix-defer user local directory handle both channels and packages.

[Bug 2064563] Re: Broken default installation of nix-bin and nix-setup-systemd
This is really odd. There is no package called nix. Only nix-bin and nix-setup-systemd. But launchpad will only let me tag nix. Wonder if there is another launchpad bug or I'm missing something. ** Also affects: nix (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064563 Title: Broken default installation of nix-bin and nix-setup-systemd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nix/+bug/2064563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Remove excess config. - Remove the symlinks entirely. Move /usr/share/user-tmpfiles.d/nix-daemon.conf to docs to remove depending on systemd-tmp files. - Remove `NIX_PATH` in /usr/lib/environment.d/nix-daemon.conf. When NIX_PATH is not set, nix handles the user profile automatically and works well. (unset NIX_PATH in the shell can workaround this at the moment neatly) ### Solution 2 More nix data inside /nix store - Add channels to the symlink in /usr/share/user-tmpfiles.d/nix-daemon.conf. - Auto-enable `systemctl --user enable systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service`?
