@samueldr:matrix.orgsamueldr users of the lix-gha-installer-action github action may want to update to the now released tag which handles a somewhat problematic issue regarding caching of the installer packages https://github.com/samueldr/lix-gha-installer-action/releases/tag/v2026-06-15 12:47:37

Hi, any idea on what this exactly means?

quadradical@quadraticpc ~/.c/nixos (main) [1]> nix flake update
warning: could not update mtime for file '': No such file or directory
error:
       … while updating the lock file of flake 'git+file:///home/quadradical/.config/nixos?ref=refs/heads/main&rev=5507285766869ad39b622a00de28929da136037c'

       … while updating the flake input 'continuwuity'

       … while fetching the input 'git+https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity?ref=release/v0.5.9'

       error: opening file '': No such file or directory

@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)

That input is just

    continuwuity = {
      url = "git+https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity?ref=release/v0.5.9";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };

@rusc:matrix.orgVossHello. New to lix, trying to install for the first time. Ran into an issue, could someone help please? Followed the instructions on https://lix.systems/install/ The installer quits out with a message: WARNING: manual intervention will be required to complete this Lix install! The Lix daemon is now an instanced unit that is fully socket-activated. This requires a new systemd unit: nix-daemon@.service 'nix upgrade-nix' will provide a profile with a new Lix, likely one of: /nix/var/nix/profiles/default /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/profile It will have the instanced systemd unit file at 'lib/systemd/system/nix-daemon@.service' You should symlink or copy this file to '/etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon@.service', and then run 'systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart nix-daemon.socket'. Until you do that, all nix commands will require root and '--store local'. Installation cancelled! 17:30:15

Hello. New to lix, trying to install for the first time. Ran into an issue, could someone help please?

Followed the instructions on https://lix.systems/install/

The installer quits out with a message:

WARNING: manual intervention will be required to complete this Lix install!
The Lix daemon is now an instanced unit that is fully socket-activated.

This requires a new systemd unit: nix-daemon@.service

'nix upgrade-nix' will provide a profile with a new Lix, likely one of:
  /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
  /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/profile
It will have the instanced systemd unit file at 'lib/systemd/system/nix-daemon@.service'

You should symlink or copy this file to '/etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon@.service',
and then run 'systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart nix-daemon.socket'.
Until you do that, all nix commands will require root and '--store local'.

Installation cancelled!

@k900:0upti.meK900And which of the install paths are you using?17:31:08
@rusc:matrix.orgVossI'm currently running nixos 26.05, using the Existing Installs installation17:32:22

@k900:0upti.meK900Which tells you what you need to do on NixOS17:33:41
