What to do with these errors or warnings when upgrading my nixos channel from 22.05 to 23.05?

tim1 · October 25, 2023, 11:19pm

I got the following errors or warnings(?) when upgrading my nixos channel from 22.05 to 23.05 following nix - How do I upgrade Nixos to use a new channel nixos version? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange.

Are they warnings or errors?

What shall I do with each of them?

$ sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot

These errors tell you that Nix was not able to download pre-built packages from the cache. This might be due to a bad network connection. If you have permanent connection issues with cache.nixos.org you can also try the alternative cache Maintainers:Fastly - NixOS Wiki.

tim1 · October 26, 2023, 3:53pm

Thanks. Still got errors, albeit a different set of errors, after changing the cache to the one in the link.

By the way, I am a NixOS newbie in China, and can that be the cause of the problem? Improvements to cache.nixos.org (help test the new config!) says:

I would also appreciate any feedback from users who hit the cache from Asia/Australia for example. Previously, these users would normally connect somewhere like Singapore/Hong Kong, which would then later connect all the way to us-east-1 . This would require a very large TCP handshake across the globe, making latency quite bad, especially in the case of many small misses (e.g. for many narinfo files which do not exist, which would effectively be a worst-case.)

I found on warning: unable to download: HTTP error 200 (curl error: Timeout was reached); · Issue #65015 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

Long story short, in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf I put “stalled-download-timeout = 99999999” (just an arbitrarily large number). I guess you can put this into /etc/nix/nix.conf if you prefer. PROBLEM FIXED!!!

What is the equivalent way to set timeout in /etc/configuration.nix?

wamserma · October 26, 2023, 10:09pm

For ~/.config/nix/nix.conf you would set nix.settings.stalled-download-timeout = 99999999 in your home-manager configuration.

For /etc/nix/nix.conf you would set nix.settings.stalled-download-timeout = 99999999 in your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

If you get errors about an missing attribute, you may need to use nix.extraOptions.

Note that by setting these in you configuration, they will only become effective after rebuilding and switching to a new generation.

tim1 · October 26, 2023, 11:05pm

@wamserma Sorry, I was wondering what the equivalent way to set timeout for NixOS (not for nix)? Is it done in /etc/configuration.nix?

Check out https://github.com/NixOS-CN/NixOS-FAQ/blob/5d64736daa02d9f577a7b6ee993d4f1c22fca379/answers/how-to-mannually-download-file-while-nixos-rebuild.md.

tim1 · October 28, 2023, 2:59am

@1sixth Thanks. I followed https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/help/nix-channels.html given in the link you gave, and added the channel as my nixos channel

$ sudo nix-channel --add https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/nix-channels/nixos-23.05 nixos
$ sudo nix-channel --update

and set to use its cache in my /etc/configuration.nix.

nix.settings.substituters = [ "https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/nix-channels/store" ];

Then I ran

$ sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot

It looked good till I got the following errors. I was wondering what they mean? What packages failed to download or build? Maybe I can skip them in /etc/configuration.nix till I finish upgrading NixOS to 23.05.

$ sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot
