Rebuild is failing

Help

I’ve been having a bit of trouble switching over. When I try to rebuild using the auxolotl repo, I get this error:

building the system configuration...
error: output '/nix/store/mk27j9i8md7cps2yg9l41g5jnfg3i3zy-nixos-configuration-reference-manpage' is not allowed to refer to the following paths:

Is anyone else having this issue? Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

I’m experiencing the same issue.

hey guys just trying to reproduce this myself.

Would you like any extra info?

Every little bit helps.

It happened on a fresh install of NixOS with GNOME for me. I’m using a laptop, Intel 10th gen processor (though I can’t imagine that has much to do with it?). I’ll update this post if I think of anything else that may be of use.

Weird, I cannot reproduce this issue. I managed a clean rebuild. Are you guys using flakes? And also which branch?

I’m using flakes. My install is from a few weeks ago. Trying to switch from NixOS unstable to axolotl unstable.

At first I used the NixOS template in the repo and then I used an old (known working) Nix flake config and simply changed the nixpkgs url. Both presented the exact same error. Using unstable.

Would sharing flake inputs help?
My flake inputs:

inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:auxolotl/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    disko = {
      url = "github:nix-community/disko";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };

    nixos-cosmic = {
      url = "github:lilyinstarlight/nixos-cosmic";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    
    home-manager = {
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    
    rust-overlay = {
      url = "github:oxalica/rust-overlay";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

I don’t think so… Maybe using the follows syntax might. But I can’t really debug this since i don’t have anyway to reproduce this.

Probably want a lockfile as well.

Rightttt, our reflog is a bit messy again. fun.

16

@srxl I’m thinking we discard commits nixos-unstable and rebuild it off a locked commit from nixpkgs master. Just need to find a good commit.

17

Our current process for maintaining the Nixpkgs fork isn’t looking very maintainable. I wonder if we should just track nixos-unstable and forget about everything else for now. Would at least solve the whole mess we have going on with cutting a release ourselves.

Question does then become “how do we start doing that without throwing out the extra commits we already have”, though. I guess we can cherry-pick, assuming we can find hashes for all of them.

Yeahhhh, honestly just worth waiting for that thing i mentioned earlier on matrix. Might be wroth just pulling all their changes or something.
