Hi, Doing so caused troubled to one of my friend when he tried to install software as root. "nix-env -i vim" was not working for him on a fresh install … and sadly I was not aware of this patch before.
Do we have a check that ensure that we can install software as root on a fresh install and create a new user and setup the user environment and install software as a trusted user ?
