and this cmd to delete old generations:
sudo nix-collect-garbage -d
Ran this cmd to list generations:
nix-env --list-generations //empty
but in the boot menu i find like 10 generations there, which is weird, when i look inside the store i can find old packages that i’ve delete and not present in my new configuration
The command to list the config generations is
nixos-rebuild list-generations
i made a mistake i just fixed it, pls read it again
To add, nix-collect-garbage doesn’t update your boot menu. To do that, re-run nixos-rebuild switch again.
oh I didn’t know that, but now i have another problem, i still have a package from the previous generation lives in my machine, like “input-leap” and “grapejuice”
you can find out what requires those packages with nix run nixpkgs#nix-tree.
either run it on store paths in question, or run in on system generations and search in the dependency tree for packages in question, like nix run nixpkgs#nix-tree -- /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-*
I was looking for the exact mapping(sorry if im calling it the wrong way) for packages list associated linked to store vs config files for months ,
