There might be some NixOS-specific issues here, I’m not sure. But in general there _is_ a way: you just login on the text console and run `startx`. > That's my preference, but I don't know how to configure NixOS to allow > that.

My NixOS box has been broken for a few weeks now, so I can’t check, but I can’t think of anything in NixOS that could interfere. >> `loginctl' reports that I have a seat and that my session's terminal is > 7.

No, that’s not a problem, that just means that your DM is running as root, so it launches X as root. But this explains why X has access to your video card in case there are issues with your session setup. So was your problem solved by removing `~/.config/pulse/default.pa`? If no, then the next steps are ensuring that `loginctl seat-status <your_seat>` lists your sound card as attached to the seat and that `getfacl /dev/snd/*` shows that your user has rw access. > > $ nixos-version > 14.12.343.47c741f (Caterpillar) > > $ X -version > X.Org X Server 1.16.2.901 (1.16.3 RC 1) > > -- > Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com > Defending the honor of good code > > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
