Cannot execute on NixOS (Linux)

[poach3r]

Describe the bug
Attempting to execute the program using a bash shell fails with the following error:
bash: ./uad_gui-linux: cannot execute: required file not found

Attempting to execute the program using a zsh shell fails with the following error:
zsh: no such file or directory: ./uad_gui-linux

Expected behavior
UAD executes

Note: I have given the file execute permissions

[Frigyes06]

Are you in the right directory?

[poach3r]

Yes.
poacher@nixos ~ cd - ~/Downloads/
poacher@nixos ~/Downloads - ./uad_gui-linux
zsh: no such file or directory: ./uad_gui-linux

poacher@nixos ~/Downloads - ls
nixos-gnome-23.05.4738.41de143fda10-x86_64-linux.iso uad_gui-linux

[Skallwar]

You might be missing chmod +x uad_gui-linux if you downloaded it.

Can you do ls -lah and give us the output?

[poach3r]

I already gave it execute permissions, I wrote this above.

[Skallwar]

Are you running NixOS ?

[poach3r]

Yes

[Skallwar]

Then I guess it's not about UAD itself but more about the fact that NixOS stores the dynamic linker in a non standard path. See https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Binaries

Best to compile it from source and if you have time, submit a new package to nixpkgs

[Frigyes06]

@poach3r Did this ever work out for you?

[markifi]

i have the same issue.

@markifi Magyarok?

Also you'll have to compile from source, see above. NixOS weirdness

[Skallwar]

A quick and dirty way that probably work for the binary is to use steam-run uad_gui-linux

Couldnt do it

[nix-shell:~/Downloads]$ steam-run uad_gui-linux
/nix/store/i93vxva1m34ch2pq1790i4zzdfifl0q0-steam-run: line 21: exec: uad_gui-linux: not found

[ilovethensa]

Ill try to write a flake.nix for this project

[lavafroth]

Hey everyone, please check out the nix-flake branch. You can run nix develop in the workdir to compile uad-ng.

[LudovicoPiero]

The universal-android-debloater is already available on nixpkgs. You can use it; however, it's still on version 0.6.2, though

nix-shell -p universal-android-debloater
uad_gui

Maybe we can ping the maintainer to get up to date?

[Frigyes06]

I pinged the nix maintainer, they'll bump version soon. Closing this issue now.
