nzbr (they/it) | rosssmyth: I had looked at it, but could not figure out what could have happened here (my buest guess would have been that microsoft made another attempt at loadable kernel modules). At least I don't have to figure it out now 😅. Still I'm curious how that happened | 08:53:52 |

mwoodpatrickmx | I'm having a problem adding quickgui to my NixOS flake its failing with:
[ +5 ms] Failed obtaining PRETTY_NAME for Linux: PathNotFoundException: Cannot open file, path = '/usr/lib/os-release' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Indeed the path /usr/lib/os-release does not exist on my NixOS install which is running as a WSL-2 distro. Should this file exist any suggestions as to why its missing or best way to debug?
| 12:46:18 |
Sandro 🐧 | There is no /usr/lib on NixOS | 12:55:35 |
Sandro 🐧 | os-release exists distro wide at /etc/os-release | 12:55:53 |
mwoodpatrickmx | Running qemu on wsl-2 using:
nix run microvm#graphics neverball
I'm getting the following errors does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix/debug:

K900 | It's not going to run the way you think | 17:25:32 |
K900 | Nested virt is not good, especially on WSL | 17:25:42 |
mwoodpatrickmx | Can you elaborate as to why I have none graphical qemu guests running without issue. | 17:28:18 |
K900 | In reply to @mwoodpatrickmx:matrix.org Can you elaborate as to why I have none graphical qemu guests running without issue. Because you're trying to do nested virtualization, that's inherently problematic | 17:35:26 |
K900 | But also NixOS on WSL doesn't have graphics acceleration working properly half the time | 17:35:39 |
| Marcel joined the room. | 20:26:11 |

mwoodpatrickmx | Where can I find the bugs filed against graphics acceleration issues on WSL? | 12:44:25 |
mwoodpatrickmx | In my NixOS WSL distro the /etc/groups file shows
kvm:x:302
But
ls -l /dev/kvm
crw-rw---- 1 root 104 10, 232 Feb 9 04:14 /dev/kvm
How can I fix this?

Other distros (e.g. Debian) show the correct group id. How can I fix this in NixOs?
