Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 17:55): Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 17:55):I just upgraded to macOS Sequoia 15 beta, and had to do the following to make Nix work (I already use nix-darwin and home-manager):
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist && sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon to start the Nix daemon. Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 17:55):Incidentally, nix is no longer in $PATH for me; I did locate it at /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/sw/bin/nix
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:09):Well, not yet!
❯ /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/sw/bin/nix run
error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
cf.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:24):I had to re-install Nix, while using the new GID/UID:
# Get ID of nixbld group
$ dscl . -read /Groups/nixbld | awk '($1 == "PrimaryGroupID:") { print $2 }'
# Find the ID of base nixbld user
$ dscacheutil -q user | less
# Uninstall, after making sure no programs from nix store are running
$ sudo /nix/nix-installer uninstall
# Install afresh, using the new GID/UID
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install \
--nix-build-group-id 30000 --nix-build-user-id-base 305
Now I get,
error: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/jnzj0r0jpmx0qp913riqpizvzidrqcfi.narinfo': Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77)
To fix it,
sudo rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
sudo ln -s /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:37):nix-darwin activation fails,
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:38):Which is fine; just rename it as it tell you.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:38):Now home-manager part complaints:
Starting Home Manager activation
The previous generation number and path are in conflict! These
must be either both empty or both set but are now set to
'42' and ''
If you don't mind losing previous profile generations then
the easiest solution is probably to run
rm /Users/srid/.local/state/nix/profiles/home-manager*
rm /Users/srid/.local/state/home-manager/gcroots/current-home
and trying home-manager switch again. Good luck!
srid@appreciate nixos-config %
Just ran those two rm commands; now:
Starting Home Manager activation
Activating checkFilesChanged
Activating checkLaunchAgents
Existing file '/Users/srid/Library/LaunchAgents/org.nix-community.home.nix-gc.plist' is in the way of '/nix/store/zkh0jhdbba409065s1rwxfqlq4016x0n-home-manager-agents/org.nix-community.home.nix-gc.plist'
Remove /Users/srid/Library/LaunchAgents/org.nix-community.home.nix-gc.plist and activate again. Now,
Activating setupLaunchAgents
Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Try re-running the command as root for richer errors.
Strangely, re-running activation (nix run on srid/nixos-config) worked.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:41):My home-manager installed apps, like Rio terminal, are now accessible from Raycast :+1:
