Error reinstalling Nix on MacOS (error: failed to configure synthetic.conf)

[mig4ng]

Platform

• Linux:
• macOS
• WSL

Additional information

Installed Nix using DeterminateSystems installer first (0.8.0), but this error also have happened in the past with the Nix oficial installer.
After this, uninstalled it using /nix/nix-installer uninstall and then following the remaning steps at https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html#macos

Trying to reinstall due to an error to which I cannot find a solution or more information on. (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/ssl-ca-cert-error-on-macos/31171)

OS: MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)
M2 Air

Can you follow the uninstall instructions again and then report back on whether synthetic.conf still exists, and if so what it contains and what it's permissions are?

[abathur]

I've also responded to your discourse thread with a note that this sounds like you have leftover artifacts of a nix-darwin install, and run private/var/run is definitely one of those.

I recommend removing /etc/synthetic.conf at minimum (but I don't know if that'll be sufficient, or if any other nix-darwin changes are likely to be interfering).

[mig4ng]

Will give it a go, and then update both discourse and here with the results.

@abathur it worked, as in, Nix is reinstalled. However, the error persists.

Not sure if I should close this ticket and open a new one (or update the title).

The errors:

I also tried the --fallback option but the extra information is not that relevant:

This fixes the problem: #3261 (comment)

I had to remove the old link first, you can check if it exists by:

ls -la /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Mine was pointing to /etc/static/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

I removed it using, and then created the new one as specified here #3261 (comment) :

sudo rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
sudo ln -s /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Thank you so much for the help @abathur, and everyone else that commented on other issues.

Shouldn't this go into the installer script?
