Just started using nixos. So far a positive experience. I do have a few basic questions:
- is there a way to list the files that were installed by a package? The files that would be installed by a package? Is there a way to search for a package that would install a given file? - is there a way to get the nix expression for a package? - I have xmonad as my window manager, and it defaults to slim as display manager/login gadget. My problem is that one of those two opens a terminal by default. If you type 'exit' into that terminal it kiboshes all open programs and exits the window manager. If you open other terminals you can close those normally without such dire consequences. Unfortunately there's no way to distinguish these from the special initial terminal. Can I just start xmonad without this extra 'terminal' terminal? How is that configured? I can't seem to find slim.conf anywhere, assuming that's where I would configure that behavior. - the 'locate' command doesn't work. According to google I should run updatedb to make it work, however that gives me a 'readonly filesystem' error. that's all for now. Thx!
