samueldr | 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 |

QuadRadical (Ping) | 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'

QuadRadical (Ping) | That input is just
continuwuity = {
url = "git+https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity?ref=release/v0.5.9";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Voss | 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 | What system are you trying to install it on? | 17:30:52 |
K900 | And which of the install paths are you using? | 17:31:08 |
Voss | I'm currently running nixos 26.05, using the Existing Installs installation | 17:32:22 |
Voss | since i'm using nix already | 17:32:29 |
K900 | OK yeah definitely don't do that | 17:33:09 |
K900 | There's a separate "on NixOS" guide | 17:33:31 |
K900 | Which tells you what you need to do on NixOS | 17:33:41 |
Voss | ah, right, sorry, I must've missed it | 17:33:53 |
Voss | gotcha, thanks for the help! | 17:34:03 |

truh | I have no idea what exactly caused the problem, just that it didn't work in that one repo. | 08:34:40 |
