Hi,
if I chose gdm as display-manger in NixOS, gdm fails to show a
login-screen. Is this a known bug and is there a solution or
workaround?
Chosing slim or lightdm as display-manager works (but slim is *really*
user-unfriendly when using different sessions/windowmanagers, since
it shows the

Hi,
I have recently installed NixOS on a PC and noticed some unexpected
things with Firefox on NixOS:
- Up to date versions:
Currently, NixOS only contains outdated Firefox-versions (53.0.3, 52.1.2esr);
there are newer official versions since about 1 week.
How long does it usually take
use it.
Changing the link to (http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#development-mode)
would fix this.
Best regards

Hi,
I'm trying to create nix-packages from some of my own Python-modules.
So, I followed the Nixpkgs manual, but it did not work as described:
Section 8.10.1.2.1. Python packaging on Nix:
- 1st shell.nix-example: local toolz package [1]
1. variable "licenses" is not found:

by default, yes.
I do not yet have much experience with Nix, and I don't know if it's a good
idea, but it is possible to symlink files. (I'm pretty sure that it isn't
a good idea to do this in normal cases, but

Do these 2 TB of data really have to be stored in the nix-store?

The output is identical in my case, since I use Nix on Debian with only
a single user.

I usually don't use package manager GUIs, since I usually use Debian and know

I really like the concept of Nix, but I think the commandline-tools
are not very beginner-friendly and not very intuitive for non-Nix-users.
Most distributions offer a GUI for package management, but I haven't
found one for Nix, although nox looks like a step in the right direction.
But the

I'm using Nix in single-user-mode on Debian, with only 1 profile and
only 1 generation (after nix-collect-garbage -d).

Hi,
I have Nix running on Debian with the default channel [*], and I noticed,
that -- although I only have a few packages installed -- many dependencies
are installed several times. I would like to understand, why.

Hi again,
I'm using Nix on Debian 8 (and I really like Nix, thanks!).
For testing, I'm trying to install several different Python3-versions.
In addition to Python 3.4 and 3.5 (as described in my other mail), I'm trying
to build and install Python 3.2.3 (which is not in nixpkgs) for testing.
Hi,
I'm using Nix on Debian 8, and tried to install both Python 3.4 and 3.5
via Nix, which did not work, since one always replaced the other. So:
How does Nix determine if one package should replace an other?
And how could I prevent this?
Example:

as a Nix user: I think that it's a *very* *very* bad idea to auto-close
issues after 14 days. Usually, if I find a bug, I report it. If my

Hi,
I'm currently using Nix on Debian stable, to be able to use newer
versions of some software. This works well, except that I unfortunately
cannot run packages which need OpenGL (like OpenSCAD).
It looks like no OpenGL-drivers are found by the packages, I installed
via Nix. To test this, I've
