You have some choice. Way 1: "nix-env -i gnomepanel" or something. That will build (and add to the PATH) the program for the current user. As it is already built, it will just register the program in profile. Way 2: add the program to environment.extraPackages in configuration.nix > Before I ran into these things (which my work around): > > a) Don't know whether "root" is permitted to log into a X session. > > Question: when should I add the user?

First name your actual video card vendor and model.. I wouldn't try compiz until you get rid of VESA driver and get 3D acceleration in, say, xscreensaver. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJJonFsAAoJEE6tnN0aWvw3f7QIAKb0ByFCQD0KXRxy7ieg85Ix 60RrADXIXP+kL7VMARwke7H2POeahPAAgEbqZ0q1AJ4LPYHsFb5H7wrMOXzNDMaU eovWgqSjt3VF8UxbzynOkPjgzMFNPDSmbwX5n65wPFwDdXz8UHAJaf2Q29lcltq+ 3fuQISKJMoMPH9k5MSHt0LdhlZvZzd3pTF2KRbbFaghTsQUHEBoBnkT1wxtUA0r0 Gb941esgI+qKJshGy7OxO1Elh0AfK7q5WHRaTxYZ/YgGaOegROwVZDE3yb8tdAGT m8V6GanZ3yNWguUZo70cLXAJvLgArIGeR7s3NXCeUQIpdxONquOLohCwCl/tWQQ= =GOu4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
