This repository is meant to contain a collection of files which I have found useful in configuring my NixOS installation.
This directory describes how to install an Epson driver epson-inkjet-printer-escpr for a family of inkjet printers listed here. The driver itself can be found here. The current patch fixes the original Debian oriented configure script to match NixOS.
This directory shows how to flash a firmware file into a Bluetooth chip during a boot process on NixOS. Additional comments on why this might be needed can be found here.
This directory explains how to install XMonad on NixOS. The default functionality of XMonad relies on other packages like dmenu which are implicitly assumed to be available in a login session. It can be convenient to include them all in a single wrapper.
This section contains instructions on how to set-up volume control for XMobar running XMonad on NixOS. Since XMobar comes without a default volume control plug-in, one may consider different solutions to this problem. Perhaps, the most natural approach is suggested here, where one binds together xmonad, xmobar and pulseaudio, with a pair of short scripts written in python and bash. The present directory provides an implementation of the volume control utility with a similar functionality. The source code is written in Haskell as a single program, and the result is attached to XMonad, XMobar, and PulseAudio, via several nix wrappers.
There exists a large amount of packages for Emacs with most of them being available on-line from such repositories as MELPA. It is nonetheless of interest to be able, at least in principle, to use some Lisp code stemming from a local machine in a way compatible with the NixOS purely functional philosophy. In the present directory, I show how to do it creating a simple helloworld.el example. It is natural to wrap this file in a separate package, and to set it up via emacsWithPackages.
If you wish to experiment with GNU Smalltalk using Emacs, you are, probably, going to need the smalltalk-mode feature. The corresponding Lisp code, as well as an implementation of the gst REPL, are, in principle, included in the gnu-smalltalk package for NixOS, but some additional set-up is still needed, since Emacs should to be told where to find the files in /nix/store. It is natural to implement a separate package describing the necessary auto-loads at start-up, so that one can reference it in emacs-with-packages.
This directory shows how to get an access to the ghcjs compiler on NixOS using the standard nix wrapper ghcWithPackages. As an example, one may compile and run in a browser a simple Haskell program making use of the Reflex platform for functional reactive programming.
