[macOS][x86_64] WARN Skipping SystemUIServer checks: failed to load profile data

[osalbahr]

I am on a fresh install of macOS Sonoma (14) using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) on a 2017 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro14,1), Intel (x86_64).

Running nix-installer, I get the following warning:

 WARN Skipping SystemUIServer checks: failed to load profile data: Parse(Error { inner: ErrorImpl { kind: UnexpectedXmlCharactersExpectedElement, file_position: Some(FilePosition(227)) } })

Is it safe to ignore?

Full log:

% curl -sSfL https://artifacts.nixos.org/nix-installer | sh -s -- install

 INFO nix-installer v2.33.3
`nix-installer` needs to run as `root`, attempting to escalate now via `sudo`...

Nix install plan (v2.33.3)
Planner: macos (with default settings)

Planned actions:
* Create an APFS volume `Nix Store` for Nix on `disk1` and add it to `/etc/fstab` mounting on `/nix`
* Unpack embedded Nix 2.33.3 to `/nix/temp-install-dir`
* Create a directory tree in `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/var ownership
* Move the downloaded Nix into `/nix`
* Synchronize /nix/store ownership
* Create build users (UID 351-382) and group (GID 350)
* Configure Time Machine exclusions
* Setup the default Nix profile
* Place the Nix configuration in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`
* Configure the shell profiles
* Configuring zsh to support using Nix in non-interactive shells
* Create a `launchctl` plist to put Nix into your PATH
* Configure upstream Nix daemon service
* Remove directory `/nix/temp-install-dir`


Proceed? ([Y]es/[n]o/[e]xplain): n
Okay, not continuing with the installation. Bye!

This warning is harmless, however if you want to help fixing it,
please give us the output of this command:

/usr/bin/profiles -P -o stdout-xml

[Mic92]

Should be fixed after: #152

@osalbahr

interesting it's before the xml on your machine.
Can you do this:

  sudo /usr/bin/profiles -P -o stdout-xml 2>/dev/null

and

  sudo /usr/bin/profiles -P -o stdout-xml 1>/dev/null

It looks like the PR does resolve the warning. Thx!

[osalbahr]

I got another warning when I proceeded with your binary (see below). Should I open a new issue?

To get started using Nix, open a new shell or run `. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh`

[Mic92]

Looks this could be a race condition in the self-test. Your deamon might start slower than the test starts: I added #153

I don't have older x86_64 machines, so I won't be able to reproduce the timing.

This is the new version:
