You can build with from a git checkout of nixpkgs (or nixos) by adding the flags -I nixpkgs=/path/to/nixpkgs (or -I nixos=/path/to/nixos) on the nixos-rebuild command line. On Feb 28, 2013, at 20:23, Patrick Wheeler wrote: > Rather then mounting the store and mutating it, what is a better met

Sorry we're having such a hard time figuring out this issue... I suspect it's an X driver problem and the nix-1.2 change is unrelated. Just to double check, you said when you ran systemctl it showed that display-manager.service had failed? If it's not too much of a hassle can you paste the outp

Yes that is when it is not booting in graphical mode and anything that depends on X server will report not finding a screen. It also reports success to me as it is booting up so it does not surprise me that it is logged that way. As it is booting up it give a green completed checkmark for X11 and

Hi Patrick, No, there's no need to switch. When you ran the journalctl command, was that during a boot where the X server failed? The log you shared looked like everything was working. ~Shea On Feb 26, 2013, at 1:01, Patrick Wheeler wrote: > I garbage collected all of the paths that verify

I garbage collected all of the paths that verify had problems, while staying on the same channel. Grub with nixos-rebuild seems to be in working order but the display-manager is still not up and running however. Is there still any advantage to trying stdenv-updates still? Any other suggestions? P

Generally any broken paths is a bad sign, the fact that there are quite a few is more troubling... Did you have a disk failure at any point? If you don't mind the time involved in doing the build, I'd consider switching to stdenv-updates, rebuilding, and garbage collecting your old profiles (on
