Change:
After reboot, while systemd units are still loading, if user clicks on Systemd-Manger extension the entire DE will crash and Gnome will force a log out of that user. Moreover, Systemd-Manager is at v14 when v15 is out from the developer. Steps to reproduce the behavior: Computer DE loads and user is logged in on Systemd-Manager (while the systemd units [custom systemd units by the user into the extension] are still loading for example "bitcoind") crashes and forces log out No crashing of DE and you should be able to see in Systemd-Manager the units that have not started without it crashing Add a :+1: [reaction] to [issues you find important].

Any news on this? Thanks so much!
Any news on this Thanks so much!
Update should be contained in
sweet!!! Thanks, I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again!
I checked and plus the superseding still contain version 14. The author notes on the that they will no longer be publishing to that site, and indeed the latest version available for download there is still 14. So the metadata for that extension may need to be manually overridden in nixpkgs since it is not going to get the latest from via the automated update process.
This works as a standalone package, for inclusion in you'd probably be fine not declaring ,,. Would be happy to make a PR for it, though it's not something I'd actively mantain/use myself. Just updating the metadata itself wont do, as it would still be pulling from for nonexistent files.
Looks good! That updated package does fix the crash for me.
did you just install the package from nixos?
yes, it seems then having its own package would be the best no?
Ah no, it would need a PR to even get into nixpkgs. I just it to my local config using an overlay.
okay, well I will look into how to overly in a nix file. Also, it is hard to maintain a package? As, maybe I could learn how to maintain this extension if will be unable to maintain it?
Maintaining an extension like this should be as simple as increasing the version number when a new release exists, given it's lack of external dependencies or nixos-specific quirks that need to be patched (there may be some out there). What I meant by not mantaining it is that I do not actively use it within my setup. And I assume these manually packaged ones would need at least a "reference" mantainer to keep it in check and direct issues to.
Thanks for the good info ! Well, I can be the maintainer, but I might need help from time to time. I will use your code if that is okay? So, next steps to put in the PR and then add me as the maintainer. Also, would you want to be on this as well?
piegamesde was only the maintainer of the original extension package because they're the . Manually packaged extensions go in and generally have a maintainer attribute set.
Circling back to this... I would like to be the maintainer of this plugin. However, I have never maintained a piece of software on github and I only have minimal skills with shell and nix configuration files. I have never made or packaged a nix module before. Should this task be reserved for someone else with more skills or is there someone who could mentor me in how to be a maintainer? Thank you all for the help in this.
Added this to extension creator's github :
Okay, I figured out how to add 's code into my existing setup. For all the noobs out there this is what I did it: I did NOT use the "overlay" process in NixOS as describe here: I used the process as described here: This is an excellent write up BTW! Save this link for future use. With these resources in mind, this is what I did. I used 's code and named the file . This naming is arbitrary. It can be anything you want as long it has at the end. Then, move that file into directory. Do this via terminal and you must be the user. Then in my NixOS (not nix) configuration file () I simply into the Then, like always, as root This is all explained in the link above. Limitations: hack does not put the new is in the official repository. This needs to be done by someone and they will become the maintainer. you use this hack you will have to update the for NixOS whenever the developers of release a new update.
Upstream devs released version 16. Whoo hooo! Here is the .nix to make it work on your local machine. Again, this is not in the main nixpkgs repo. You will have to use this code and follow my "hack"above to get it to run in your local nix install. Thanks again to for the original code.
