-
piper-tts: Illegal instruction on RPI4: This issue reports a bug in the piper-tts text-to-speech program on a Raspberry Pi 4, where an illegal instruction error occurs after upgrading from Nixpkgs version 24.11 to 25.05. The user provides detailed steps to reproduce the error and notes that the issue does not occur with the unstable version of Nixpkgs, suggesting a potential link to an update in the onnxruntime package.
- The comments discuss the distinction between piper-tts and another tool, the source of the model files, and attempts to diagnose the issue using logs and commands. The conversation identifies a potential link to an onnxruntime update, with further testing confirming the error's presence in specific commits. The discussion concludes with a reference to an upstream bug in onnxruntime, indicating a broader issue beyond the immediate project.

-
linux-firmware: AMD GPU fails after firmware update: This issue concerns a problem with AMD GPU drivers failing after a firmware update in NixOS 25.05, which results in connected monitors remaining powered off. The problem is linked to a specific commit in the nixpkgs repository, and a temporary workaround involves reverting to an earlier version of the linux-firmware.
- Multiple users report experiencing the same issue and confirm that applying an overlay to revert the firmware resolves the problem. The issue is linked to a known upstream problem with broken microcode, and a fix has been proposed upstream. The discussion includes references to upstream issues and fixes, and there is a consensus on the need to track the issue in nixpkgs until it is resolved.
- Number of comments this week: 13
-
openssh:
ssh-keygen’s man page says “lines Ns = Ns number” instead of “lines=number”: This issue highlights a formatting error in thessh-keygenman page within the Nixpkgs project, where the stringNsappears inappropriately, suggesting a discrepancy between the Nixpkgs and Void Linux versions of the man page. The problem is traced back to a configuration flag set nearly 18 years ago, which should be updated to correct the formatting issue without introducing new dependencies.- The comments discuss the root cause of the issue, which is linked to a configuration flag and a script that converts man pages. A proposed fix involves changing the flag to resolve the formatting error, and there is a consensus to merge this fix. The discussion also touches on the historical context of the bug, the technical details of man page formatting, and potential improvements to the conversion script.
- Number of comments this week: 12
-
Build failure: manifold: This issue involves a build failure in the Nixpkgs project when attempting to include the manifold or openscad-unstable package and rebuild the system, with the failure being reproducible by Hydra. The error log indicates that one test, CrossSection.RoundOffset, fails, causing a cascade of build failures for various dependencies, and the issue is suspected to be related to the clipper2 library.
- The comments discuss the potential cause of the failure being related to clipper2 and suggest disabling the specific test. Attempts to resolve the issue by modifying build flags led to further errors, indicating a need to maintain existing flags. A contributor plans to make a pull request to address the issue, and there is a suggestion to try the latest version of manifold for performance improvements. Another pull request is mentioned that might address the build failure by adjusting the test.
- Number of comments this week: 7
-
zsh-abbr: >=v6.2.0 hangs on
_abbr_init:dependencies: This issue describes a problem with the zsh-abbr plugin version 6.2.0 or higher, which causes a significant delay during startup on NixOS 25.05 due to a hang in the_abbr_init:dependenciesstep. The problem can be reproduced by running zsh with home-manager's zsh-abbr enabled, and debugging indicates that the hang occurs specifically during the initialization of the zsh-job-queue.- The comments discuss potential causes and solutions for the issue, including missing files and changes in the zsh-job-queue initialization. A workaround involving the removal of a specific directory is mentioned, which temporarily resolves the issue. The discussion concludes with a plan to update the original issue in zsh-abbr and a commitment to further investigation.
