Hi.
Tried to install nix but am stuck with an issue I'm not able to resolve. Whenever I boot the system, it uses approx 5min on the boot-up of Nixos Stage #1 as seen in the picture. After a while it will boot into the system but without a GUI. I've done the installation twice, with different isos to make sure I didn't do it wrong. It only works if I downgrade to nixos 23.11, but if I update(+plasma 6) from there It results in the same problem.
The error is:
kernel: Acpi Error: Aborting method (long string) due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT)
Have no idea what this error is, and there don't seem to be alot of info on it. Reaching out here to see if anyone is able to help me troubleshoot this, as I would really like to try latest Nixos.
I've had those errors on my system for years. I never thought that they were NixOS specific. I just assumed something to do with a buggy firmware:
I don't notice any ill-effects from them, so it may be a red herring. I have a:
with a 5900X.
I don't usually see as many prints as you have there, but it's quite a few, and the number seems to vary (grow?) over time. I keep meaning to investigate it, but haven't got around to it.
I think you should keep looking in your logs for other problems. If you can share the full log I'd be happy to take a look.
Thanks for the reply! I will investigate further, and try to share the logs if I figure out a smart way to do it.
FYI a great way to share your logs (if you have internet on the machine but no GUI) is to use a pastebin like 0x0.st. E.g. do
journalctl | curl -F'file=@-' https://0x0.stand post the link here.Neat tips thanks!
