@tmenendez:matrix.orgtm1v *

I am having difficulty installing nixos on my vps instance. I was following the official manual at https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/

When I run lsblk, I get the result shown in the attached image.

And when I run parted /dev/vda -- mklabel get the following:
Warning: Partition(s) on /dev/vda are being used.

If I ignore the warning and proceed and restart, the vps never boots again, it gets stuck

@jyrama:garm.jrd.fijyramaNot sure which room is the best so feel free to redir but: anyone has their QEMU guest host integration / SPICE stuff broken on a week or two old nixpkgs-unstable? I am talking about screen resizing and clipboard and stuff across the board breaking.13:48:36
