2017-11-05 01:32:19	gfixler	so I have Nix installed on Ubuntu, and no Vim yet, and I get a sudo apt install <selected package> message when trying to run vim
2017-11-05 01:32:36	gfixler	is that just me falling past the nix stuff at the front of $PATH and Ubuntu/apt telling me this?
2017-11-05 01:32:54	gfixler	does Nix ever give such information about what to install when something is missing?
2017-11-05 01:33:17	gfixler	very strange being in a system on top of a system atm
2017-11-05 01:33:20	Mateon1	gfixler: I think that's a bash script responsible for that
2017-11-05 01:33:46	Mateon1	Nix definitely supports showing what packages to install, I see that on my NixOS system
2017-11-05 01:33:57	gfixler	cool
2017-11-05 01:34:05	gfixler	I would think it would rule at that
2017-11-05 01:34:16	Mateon1	But I have no idea what actually decides what to show on not installed commands
2017-11-05 01:34:35	gfixler	would be nice if I could ask who's speaking to me :)
2017-11-05 01:34:52	gfixler	$ whoisreplying vim
2017-11-05 01:35:58	-->	joehh (~joehh@103.75.204.193) has joined #nixos
2017-11-05 01:36:52	ArdaXi[m]	That is the command-not-found handler, it's installed into the global bashrc/zshrc/etc
2017-11-05 01:37:07	ArdaXi[m]	On NixOS, that is, on Ubuntu you should be able to add it manually
2017-11-05 01:37:23	Mateon1	On my nixos system, the file responsible is /run/current-system/sw/bin/command-not-found
2017-11-05 01:38:03	ArdaXi[m]	It'd be interesting to know what package installs that
2017-11-05 01:38:10	gfixler	ArdaXi[m]: this was Ubuntu talking to me from behind Nix
2017-11-05 01:38:20	Mateon1	Which, fittingly, comes from a package called "command-not-found"
2017-11-05 01:38:24	ArdaXi[m]	Yeah, I know
2017-11-05 01:39:00	ArdaXi[m]	Mateon1: That's not in all-packages afaict
2017-11-05 01:39:10	<--	joehh (~joehh@103.75.204.193) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
2017-11-05 01:39:14	sphalerite	yeah it's in a module iirc
2017-11-05 01:39:23	-->	joehh_ (~joehh@103.75.204.193) has joined #nixos
2017-11-05 01:39:30	sphalerite	nixos/modules/programs/command-not-found/command-not-found.nix
2017-11-05 01:39:33	sphalerite	So it's a nixos-specific feature
2017-11-05 01:39:50	sphalerite	although we could probably factor it out to work in nix-on-other-OS systems
2017-11-05 01:40:36	ArdaXi[m]	Yeah, I see, no idea why that derivation is defined in the module, rather than as a package
2017-11-05 01:41:11	gfixler	from my /etc/bash.bashrc: # if the command-not-found package is installed, use it
2017-11-05 01:41:11	sphalerite	to convince people to switch to nixos? :p
