Various scripts to install the nix package manager

This may break if something other than bash is not the default login shell so have bash be the default shell. It will be better to make a profile on your terminal application and have a different shell instance that way. If the commands itself give some sort of error, use bash as a shell. Type bash into the terminal to get to bash.

nix-installer-scripts's Issues

Silverblue not fully uninstalling previous install, can't reinstall

I had previously used your silverblue-nix-installer script to install on silverblue (kinoite). Everything find. Then I installed fleek, which worked well at first, but became corrupted. Instead of diving into home-manager and flakes, I uninstalled fleek, then uninstalled Nix using your silverblue-nix-uninstaller. I also removed a few remaining nix related files from my system.

Now I'm trying to INSTALL using silverblue-nix-installer, and I'm getting lots of errors and failure to install Nix. Attached is the output of the script:

silverblue-nix-installer-output.txt

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to update nix ?

How to update nix when installed from the rpm-ostree os scripts.

I tried

nix upgrade-nix
error: not an absolute path: '../var/usrlocal'

/nix/nix/nix/lib/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service No such file or directory

I had previously used your scripts without fail on two RHEL servers. Trying to add two more to my fleet today, and both gave

deleting and copying services...
cp: cannot stat ‘/nix/nix/nix/lib/systemd/system/nix-daemon.service’: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat ‘/nix/nix/nix/lib/systemd/system/nix-daemon.socket’: No such file or directory
Enabling services...
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

during install. The nix tool is installed but runs into permission errors. I can't find the nix-daemon.service in /nix, so I copied it from my other machines, and updated the ExecPath and the install works fine, but I wonder if a newer version of nix requires different handling of the systemd components.

Apps not updating

I originally installed nix on my silverblue (bluefin) with the nix-install script included at the time, since removed I understand...

I installed Vivaldi browser version 5.7, works great, icon in the menu showing up and all.

I then updated to the new version 6.0, but when clicking the vivaldi icon in the UI, it still loads version 5.7.

Manually running Vivaldi from the terminal produces version 6.0.

The XDG_DATA_DIRS paths looks ok.

Are there some config missing or updates not happening?

Are there something misconfigured or missing from the old install script? is it safe to rerun the nix-installer-script just in case something is missing?

Multiple "Nix Build Users"

Maybe I missed something in the docs. After installation via script, when logging in to uBlue-Sericea flavor of Silverblue. The sddm login screen shows +/- 20 Nix Build Users along with my standard user.

Is there a way of deleting the "Build Users"?

Thank you

Failed to start nix-daemon.socket: Unit var.mount not found.

Trying to run your script on Fedora 38. Ok I realise its not Silverblue and is beta, but wanted to try nix :)

Running the script gives me an error near the start like:-

  a requirement dependency on it.

  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation

This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:

1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
   will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.

Then everything seems to go swimmingly until near the end when:-

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo systemctl start nix-daemon.socket

to start the nix-daemon.socket

Failed to start nix-daemon.socket: Unit var.mount not found.

---- oh no! --------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh no, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open
an issue, we'd love to fix the problem so nobody else has this issue.

:(

We'd love to help if you need it.
