I'm looking for a jigsaw puzzle game I can add to my NixOS configuration. It looks like KDE's palapeli is not available. A search for "jigsaw" in search.nixos.org returned nothing. Does anyone know of any jigsaw puzzle games available for NixOS?

Hello!

I'm using neovim-nightly-overlay with my home-manager configuration. I went without it for a while and was able to use neovim-remote during that time. However, when I went back to nightly Neovim, I could no longer build my configuration:

error: builder for '/nix/store/2dq45gcamr8wmijp3dbckfrvvi2rmgfw-neovim-remote-2.5.1.drv' failed with exit code 1;

I'm a software engineer. I work for an amazing company with the best and healthiest work culture I've ever seen. I get to work from home full-time, take unlimited vacation time (within reason lol), and my co-workers and I even play games once a week.

I probably couldn't ask for a better work environment, and yet, a year and a half after graduating with a Bachelor's degree in computer science, I can't help but feel like I've could've a chosen better career path.

The cycle has been the same for my past 3 jobs: The first month is exciting, I come out of the gates running, and then after enough time, I become disinterested. Looking at and fixing software all day becomes exhausting and tiring.

Edit: ext_session_lock_manager_v1 is not yet supported on (stable) Sway. That's why it's not working. I was totally confident that it was released already. The more you know

I'll try swaywm/master instead!

Hey y'all, I'm super new to Wayland and especially Wayland development. I've used Sway for a long time, but now I'm really interested in developing on Wayland. Bear with me ^_^

I'm trying to develop a custom lock application for ext_session_lock_v1 using smithay-client-toolkit. Here's the source code I have so far. This is the error I'm getting when I run it within Sway:

thread 'main' panicked at 'no lock manage

Whenever I update a flake, whether it be for one of my projects or for my system configuration, it always takes a very long time because of this step. What is Nix doing during this time?

I'm assuming the [29.4 MiB DL] is the nixpkgs repository and other repositories that are inputs to my flake, is that right?

My hypothesis is that it's because I have nix.settings.auto-optimise-store enabled.

Thanks in advance :)

Hear me out.

I know about wpgtk, but I really like managing all of my configurations with Nix and home-manager. I want to try tackling the challenge of configuring multiple different themes I can switch to for my home configuration.

The naive way I see of doing this is changing some theme variable in my configuration files and running home-manager switch ... every time I want to change themes. This, of course, comes with the burden of waiting for the configuration to build each time, not to mention all the other unnecessary things that have to be done to rebuild.

Here's my idea:

home-manager produces some activate script once the whole configuration is built, right? This sets all c

So I recently wiped my laptop to change its filesystem from btrfs to ext4, hoping for a little performance improvement (every bit counts at its age). I was able to re-partition my disk and re-install NixOS smoothly on my laptop. (Here's my NixOS config.)

But I cannot build my home-manager configuration.

I manage my home-manager config with flakes. To build it for the first time on a fresh system, I'm trying to use nix build --no-link ~/.config/nixpkgs/#homeConfigurations.<machine_name>.activationPackage. However, this fails with an address boundary error (SIGSEGV).

Hey all, this is a huge issue for me. Thankfully WiFi is working on my laptop with NixOS, but not my desktop tower. I can stay connected to my home access point for maybe a minute, but then my computer will disconnect, and it's usually very difficult to get it back up and connected again. (Kinda like rolling dice; running iwctl station wlan0 connect ... every once in a while hoping for success, but usually it fails)

This was sort of an issue in the past, where my computer would disconnect from WiFi, but only after a few hours. Now the problem is very much worse.

I'm using iwd and my nixpkgs version is nixos-unstable from April 26th, 2022. My motherboard is an MSI Gaming Pro Carbo

Hey all, just thought I'd ask for some advice and/or thoughts on this issue.

I'm looking to record gameplays and have a script to setup screen recording, webcam recording, and mic recording. After some testing, my webcam and desktop recording seem fine, but under heavy load, my mic audio is... having issues. Here's a snippet of it.

I'm using pipewire and pw-record to record my mic. Increasing the "Resampling quality" (-q) to 15 with the command seems to help mitigate the issue, but it still "jumps" here and there, so I'm n
