Update Error usbdev.c:68:3: error: #error "Neither HAL nor USB1 found!

Hi folks,

Updating the system, I got stuck in the following error:

usbdev.c:68:3: error: #error "Neither HAL nor USB1 found!. Please install at least either of them."

Found references on fedora for usage of HAL pr LIBUSB1-DEVEL packages wich are not available on NixOS.

Does anyone have a hint ?

We did have a strange libusb/libusb1 propagation issue recently, but it would be very helpful if you can tell us which piece of software is giving this error.

Of course.

I’ll paste a photo. Unfortunately I don’t know how to save the logs in text mode.

Thanks.

Yep, it was what I thought it was.

Previously, pulling in libusb meant that you would get libusb1 as well as it was… propagated by libusb which meant that derivations incorrectly depending on libusb when they should be depending on libusb1 would work. ###### Things done - [x] Tested using sandboxing ([nix.useSandbox](http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/options.html#opt-nix.useSandbox) on NixOS, or option `sandbox` in [`nix.conf`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-conf-file) on non-NixOS linux) - Built on platform(s) - [x] NixOS - [ ] macOS - [ ] other Linux distributions - [ ] Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside [nixos/tests](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/tests)) - [ ] Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using `nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"` - [ ] Tested execution of all binary files (usually in `./result/bin/`) - [ ] Determined the impact on package closure size (by running `nix path-info -S` before and after) - [x] Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date - [x] Fits [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).

Considering this. There is nothing to be done but wait?!

peterhoeg · April 10, 2020, 1:27am

Options:

wait for it to hit unstable/stable (depending on what you’re using)
nixos-rebuild against this branch (it’s based on unstable)
apply this PR against your own fork and nixos-rebuild against that

Actually, @aszlig (the maintainer) already merged a fix y’day, so it should hit unstable shortly. That’s what I get for only checking unstable…

Thanks.

I am trying to run my smartcard reader for my e-Id to sign some documents.

I’ll wait do go stable.

I am very thankful. Have a nice holiday.

jtojnar · April 10, 2020, 6:25am

Wait, are you running stable? The bug should only be in unstable.

wjjunyor · April 12, 2020, 4:17am

Unstable.

But I’ve omited the cyberjack pkg considering i am not able to use my e-Id for another reason.

Thanks
