How did you install Nix? I don't think we ever created build users with a leading 0 (i.e. nixbld01).

Violettica commented 2 months ago

This appears to be a remnant of my failed Garuda Nix Subsystem experiment. I did some digging on my own and found that removing all the offending users manually did the trick. A bit of an unfortunate trap for anyone who has had problems installing Nix before.

I'm glad you were able to get it fixed! I think for now I'm going to close this, but if someone comes with a similar issue, we can reopen and explore ways to make that nicer. Thank you!
