@silmaril You can combine the flag --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" or use nix.settings.extra-experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
Thank you very much!
nix.settings.extra-experimental-features = [ “nix-command” “flakes” ];
seems to actually work in my setup.
And it's nice to know that I can make do with one --extra-experimental-features argument for several features at once.
May I be so bold as to ask a follow-up question that doesn't have much to do with this one?
What do I have to do to get Virtualbox Guest Additions to work on NixOS? Not having a shared clipboard is driving me crazy ;-)
Once again everything I found on the internet leads to errors during sudo nixos rebuild. I hope it's just another case of knowing the correct names for the actual packages or options to use.
Can someone help me here?
Looking at the configuration options I think you want this line in configuration.nix:
virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable = true;
Yes! That's the correct way to write this, thank you! 😊
And it's already set inside /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix after installing inside a VM.
I had an additional layer 8 problem - clipboard sharing doesn't work until it's enabled in the VirtualBox host , too 🙃
NixOS is a Linux distribution built on top of the Nix package manager. Its declarative configuration allows reliable system upgrades via several official channels of stability and size.
