Hello, after installing nixos-graphical-0.1pre28113-x86_64-linux.iso on fujitui lifebook i was not able to use kde4 desktopManager and could not build gnome environment. xterm (default), and xfce desktopManager did worked OK.
for kde4 i got the screen with the harddisk and then the scren went blank and stayed that way. output fom lspcigrep VGA 0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) services.xserver = { videoDriver = "intel"; exportConfiguration = true; enable = true; defaultDepth = 24; desktopManager.kde4.enable = true; layout = "de"; xkbOptions = "eurosign:e"; }; for gnome nixos-rebuild boot terminated with an error [root@nixos:~]# nixos-rebuild --show-trace boot fetching list of Nix archives at `http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/MANIFEST.bz2'... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 14.6M 100 14.6M 0 0 1510k 0 0:00:09 0:00:09 --:--:-- 1577k 44478 store paths in manifest building Nix... building the system configuration... error: while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `system' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:146:5': while evaluating the derivation attribute `buildCommand' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:147:5': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `etc' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/etc/etc.nix:29:5': while evaluating the derivation attribute `sources' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/etc/etc.nix:34:5': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `upstart-xserver.conf' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix:10:14': while evaluating the derivation attribute `jobText' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:113:43': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:32': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:32': while evaluating the builtin function `head': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:46:31': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `slim.cfg' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix:10:14': while evaluating the derivation attribute `text' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix:21:29': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `xsession' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix:10:14': while evaluating the derivation attribute `text' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix:21:29': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:32': while evaluating the builtin function `head': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/default.nix:111:29': while evaluating the attribute `start' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/default.nix:41:13': while evaluating the attribute `start' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/gnome.nix:30:11': attribute `gnometerminal' mito One other problem i had during the installation was an inability to install grub in the partion, i hacked switch-to-configuration inserting --force flag for grub-install so that it finaly did install itself on a partion. I could helpful if there were an option for the configuration to pass this flag properly. Finaly to get productive quickly, could someone send me a configuration file which achies the following: most products are defined for all users and automaticaly updated (i.e as system packages ? ) I coulld defined profiles with different versions of say haskell, java, ruby etc for different users so that if i want to work with certain versions of the products i logged as user-version-this-and-that or is a better way to do it Thank very much Jerzy
