Doh did not know that. Is a keyboard required for the installer?
Kyes, since you need to type a password and all that
VI've just done a "just install-nix" and now I have nix packaging set up on bazzite. What documentation is there for this use of this on bazzite? There's a lot of stuff out there and I'm unsure where to begin.
FGitHub
A little bit out of the original scope of this project, but stemming from some discussion on the Discord and in #48. There's some notable performance gains to be had for GMod on Linux if we mak...
Tour kind of hidden, but hopefully not for long, FAQ mentions how to install Nix packages - https://universal-blue.org/images/bazzite/FAQ/#nix
Tbasically
Tnix-env --install <package> in a host terminal. package names can be found here - https://search.nixos.org/packagesTalthough im going to be honest, im not sure about anything else in regards to nix packages
VOk. Thank you. Unfortunately,
nix-env --install brave only returns error: selector 'brave' matches no derivations However, if I do nix profile install nixpkgs#brave that installs brave. Then if I want to uninstall, I have to find what it's referred to by doing nix profile list |grep brave and on the basis of that do nix profile remove legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.brave. So I guess that's the right way to do it???? If anyone else has any recommendations, I'd love to hear.VMaybe I will try out fleek also. That looks interesting. I'm not quite sure what the differences are between using the aforementioned way to install nix and fleek is.
Tyeah im going to ping some of the nix people hold on. @crushbutimbanned @dnkmmr69420 how would one properly use Nix on Bazzite? I can edit the documentation to reflect this
VI'm not 1000% sure, that's why I've not documented it.
I typically install by running
I typically uninstall by running
I typically update by running
and delete old generations by running
I typically install by running
nix-env --install appI typically uninstall by running
nix-env --uninstall appI typically update by running
nix-env --upgrade (optional: app)and delete old generations by running
nix-collect-garbage -dKBare in mind there's nothing crazy custom going on here
KWe're just offering the determinate Nix installer
KAnything that applies there applies here
KProbably best to link to their documentation
KDeterminate Systems
A fresh new alternative to the official Nix installation scripts.
VI wish there was a GUI to manage this...
VAll those examples seem very clear to me, but unfortunately doing something like
nix-env --install brave just yields error: selector 'brave' matches no derivations Am I putting in the wrong package name? Based on https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=brave&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=brave I'm not sure what else to specify.KAny reason you're using nix over the flatpak?
KI can take a look at this as soon as I'm back
KJust curious
VI'm just using brave as an example. To see if I understand how to use this.
VThat's really weird...
VI ran
nix-env --install brave tooVHmm?
VMaybe I need to refresh the package list with some command or another?
Vrun
nix-channel --updateV
VThat's good. I think I may have to add a channel first.
VAhhh
VThat's weird
VI don't remember doing that
RI didn't do that either
Rit just worked for me
VHm, certain nix packages don't seem to respect cursor theme
VNot sure if there's a simple fix for nix-env
KNeed /usr/share/icons
KAnd themes
KIf that's trivial to pass through we can add it to the installer
VI'm looking into it
VThanks folks. Looks like it is all working now, but before I could install anything I had to do
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable unstable and then nix-channel --updateVAfter that
nix-env --install brave works.VGood
Dalso don't use
nix-env instead use nix profile
VOk. As I mentioed above,
nix profile install nixpkgs#brave did initially work for me. So that's the preferred method of installing?VSeems that removing packages with profile is a little more involved then.
VWhat does nix profile offer?
E@KyleGospo opened a PR fixing image signing for people using the latest tag
VThat would be really nice. It would be nice to have the cursor match.
