Does it work after opening a new terminal window? Note that you need to uncomment the |

@zhangchi0104 Great! Feel free to open another issue if you have any other problems :) @esn89 Thanks. It looks like that snippet shouldn’t be causing problems by itself (though it will mean that MacPorts executables are preferred over ones from nix-darwin, which may have confusing consequences). Can you run |
|
Here is the $PATH:
I installed Fish from macports |
|
Any other ideas? :( |
|
Can you try fish from nixpkgs, just to see if it works? |
|
@Samasaur1 no luck here either. |
|
I would try with nothing in ~/.config/fish The issue seems to me to be /run/current-system/sw/bin is not on the path. |
|
@bestlem Thanks. adding |
|
@ngaxavi does it still work after a reboot? I just upgraded to sequoia (without a proper nix uninstall) and reinstalled nix. Is that the case for you as well? @bestlem what is supposed to create this symlink? |
This sounds like a different issue. Creating |
|
There's an issue (#1219) tracking improving the current launchd situation, which includes making those services show up with descriptive names. |
|
Ah, many thanks! Yes, the daemon is not running, and I indeed turned off some of the 'sh' entries. Thought they where duplicate skhd & yabai entries, that kept duplicating on nix switch (which looks like it is fixed now). @Samasaur1 many thanks for pointing me in this direction!! |
|
@patmuk Can you tell me what you configured so that the nix-daemon starts on reboot? |
|
@ngaxavi Here is my journey: I had troubles with one local project ... and did not upgraded to Sequoia. As a second project with the same setup worked, and I couldn't figure the difference, I decided to upgrade to sequoia and install nix again. While trying to get the project to work I deactivated the 'sh' entries in login items and forgot to enable them again. Additionally I ran the installer again without deinstalling nix first. After upgrading MacOS I couldn't unlock the nix store virtual drive anymore. As it is on my main drive, which is encrypted (standard Mac setup), it did not needed to be encrypted in the first place. So I deleted it and ran the installer without encrypting the nix store: Nothing worked, so I began to eliminate one mistake after another until I got the last hint here - that the four 'sh' processes are from nix and are needed. Hope that helped! |

I found the problem: every time I run Does anyone know why the Nix daemon gets unloaded when running darwin-rebuild? Here is my configuration. {

Note this is nothing to do with the original issue. re 'Does anyone know why the Nix daemon gets unloaded when running darwin-rebuild?" As for your issue - I don't know. To debug I would start from an empty configuration - just the inputs and a darwinConfiguration without any modules and minimal everything else - just get zsh working |
It shows: |
@Samasaur1 this is the 4 sh files we're talking about, right? |
Is this the fix? I mean I do see the Was it supposed to be automated but automation failed somewhere? |
|
I've added But getting: I did some googling and applied this fix: But to no avail |
@ngaxavi Did you pass the If you did, then you installed the Determinate distribution, which has its own daemon to manage Nix that currently doesn’t interoperate well with nix-darwin even when using their module. #1313 should provide a better user experience for users of Determinate, but hasn’t yet been reviewed and merged. |

@emilazy Thanks! it works |
I have installed nix via determinate systems like so:

~/.config/nix-darwin/flake.nixlooks like this:When I run:
nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/.config/nix-darwinit succeeds, but:Error message:
