Hello, Currently setting ‘boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_2_6_34;’ results in the oh-so-clear error message below:
value is null while an attribute set was expected The reason is that ‘linuxPackages_2_6_34’ doesn’t have the fbcondecor patch, and thus ‘kernelPackages.splashutils’ is null. ‘tty-backgrounds.nix’ then references ‘splashutils’, hence the error. There’s an assertion in ‘tty-backgrounds.nix’, which checks whether ‘splashutils’ is null. However, that assertion is apparently not checked by the time ‘splashutils’ is referenced in ‘preStart’ and ‘postStop’. Why is that? How should we work around it? Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
