malob / prefmanager Goto Github PK

Hi @malob – thanks for your excellent work on https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs – I've borrowed some ideas and snippets in my own config. That's how I came across prefmanager.

However, I haven't been able to install prefmanager on my Intel MBP via environment.systemPackages or as a user package with nix.useSandbox set to true (the default on NixOS, FWIW). After I rebuild with nix.useSandbox = false; I'm able to install prefmanager successfully.

This looks like an instance of NixOS/nix#4119 – though I'm not sure what to suggest. Aside from prefmanager, I haven't run into any issues with sandbox mode, which I've had enabled for a while now.

Each time I build my flake-based system configuration I receive the following error:

building '/nix/store/yg5d4940nq5xqnnrn7nvlmid440p265k-darwin-system-21.11.20211220.df6791e+darwin4.a2ed0b0.drv'...

       last 1 log lines:

Unfortunately, there's nothing else in the log.

This comes up for me when I run prefmanager watch --all. After some amount of time the program exits with the following messages:

prefmanager: /bin/sh: startProcess: runInteractiveProcess: pipe: resource exhausted (Too many open files)
