[Nix-dev] Disappearing X session on some systems

2017-05-27 Thread Evan Rowley
Has anyone left their NixOS machine running for awhile, come back to it, and saw a console on tty7 where X used to be running? I experience this when I leave two of my NixOS systems alone for awhile. Both are using Gnome 3. It affects my ThinkPad E465 which is running an AMD A10-8700P & Radeon R6
