Hi, I’ve decided to try NixOS on my laptop and I’ve encountered this minor issue that I’m unable to locate the name of the default audio player package on GNOME.

Apparently it’s supposed to be called ‘gnome-decibels’ but I can’t find it anywhere or open it via terminal. Before I was able to open it via terminal with gnome-music but now that I’ve removed it by adding it into the

environment.gnome.excludePackages = with pkgs.gnome; [

music

];

it still appears in the applications menu and I can still open it and confirm it runs and it’s called “Decibels” but if I try adding decibels into the exclude list I get error that no such pkgs exist and can’t rebuild.

Any idea what’s up with this? I was able to remove everything else that’s bundled with GNOME by default which I don’t use.

    Well, I’ve already tried it before but for some reason it worked this time… maybe I had a typo there somewhere or the 3 reboots I did until now helped. I’m embarassed :/ Thanks anyhow!

    But I still don’t understand why I couldn’t open it via terminal by typing decibels or gnome-decibels when I tried to confirm if the package name is correct.
