Welcome Everyone,
I’m newbie to NixOS. Installed it about two weeks ago on metal but played in VM before that flew times.
I slowly coming around with stuff there are things I can’t figure out or find searching on web so I hope you can provide some advise here…
I can’t get Plasma Disk displaying smart status where GSmartControl displays all except NVMe disk
I got smartmontools, gsmartcontrol and libsForQt5.plasma-disks declared as system packages, played with smartd but no luck.
services.smartd.enable = true;
services.smartd.autodetect = true;
services.smartd.notifications.x11 = {
enable = true;
display = ":${toString config.services.xserver.display}";
};
HDDtemp works when run from terminal sudo hddtemp /dev/sda but can’t get smartd working so I can’t use it in conky. Tried to read from it using nc but got bunch of errors as return.
EDIT: Wrong piece copied below:
hardware.sensor.hddtemp = {
enable = true;
drives = [ "/dev/disk/by-path/*" ];
dbEntries = [
"INTEL SSDSC2KB240G8" "190" "C" "INTEL SSDSC2KB240G8"
"CT1000MX500SSD1" "194" "C" "Crucial CT1000MX500SSD1"
"WDC WDS240G2G0A-00JH30" "194" "C" "WDC WDS240G2G0A-00JH30"
];
};
And there is Double Commander… will not open/mount unmounted drive like on any other distro. It gives me “Disk is not available” error when trying to open. I need open the disk from KDE’s system tray or from Gnome Disk Utility.
It also doesn’t displaying majority of file types even when xdg.mime.enable = true; is enabled.
When run from shell it only complains about Breeze theme missing.
