Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation

This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:

1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
   will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.

2. Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask
   if you are ready to continue.

3. Create the system users and groups that the Nix daemon uses to run
   builds.

4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.

5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
   can use Nix.

6. Start the Nix daemon.

Would you like to see a more detailed list of what I will do?

---- let's talk about sudo -----------------------------------------------------
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.

Just like this:

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo echo

to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look

This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:

Can I use sudo?

Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!

~~> Fixing any leftover Nix volume state
Before I try to install, I'll check for any existing Nix volume config
and ask for your permission to remove it (so that the installer can
start fresh). I'll also ask for permission to fix any issues I spot.

---- Found existing Nix volume -------------------------------------------------

     uuid:      45B8AA4C-0146-4097-A10B-F0BC33595B8D
encrypted:      no

~~> Checking for artifacts of previous installs
Before I try to install, I'll check for signs Nix already is or has
been installed on this system.

---- Preparing a Nix volume ----------------------------------------------------
    Nix traditionally stores its data in the root directory /nix, but
    macOS now (starting in 10.15 Catalina) has a read-only root directory.
    To support Nix, I will create a volume and configure macOS to mount it
    at /nix.

~~> Configuring /etc/synthetic.conf to make a mount-point at /nix

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo /usr/bin/ex --noplugin /etc/synthetic.conf

to add Nix to /etc/synthetic.conf

~~> Creating a Nix volume

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil unmount force disk3s7

to ensure the Nix volume is not mounted

Volume Nix Store on disk3s7 force-unmounted

~~> Configuring /etc/fstab to specify volume mount options

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo /usr/sbin/vifs

to add nix to fstab

~~> Configuring LaunchDaemon to mount 'Nix Store'

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo /usr/bin/ex --noplugin /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist

to install the Nix volume mounter

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist

to launch the Nix volume mounter

---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:

    $ sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.darwin-store

to launch the Nix volume mounter

Jeeze, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open

The block above the failure you quoted in the title indicates that the service is disabled in launchctl:

This is a "me too" comment, just ran into this exact problem on macOS 13.1 (Mac Mini M1).

Is this something I can fix myself, to allow the installer to proceed?

abathur commented 1 year ago

Did you try enabling the service with launchctl?

rollcat commented 1 year ago

Running sudo launchctl enable system/org.nixos.nix-daemon initially did not seem to do anything, I followed up with sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon and got the message: Could not find service "org.nixos.nix-daemon" in domain for system.

I did all of the following a couple of times, but I can't recall the exact order:

Rollback files in /etc using backups:

sudo mv /etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bash.bashrc
sudo mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc
sudo mv /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix /etc/zshrc

Remove /nix and ~/.nix

Run launchctl enable and kickstart manually:

sudo launchctl enable system/org.nixos.nix-daemon
sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/org.nixos.nix-daemon

Re-run the installer: sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

At some point the installer went through.

It's not quite the same scenario as the original issue creator, but I'm commenting because Google brings you here when you search for 'Could not find service "org.nixos.nix-daemon" in domain for system'.

I came across this error when trying to use a Darwin flake with nix.useDaemon = true;. To resolve it I had to set services.nix-daemon.enable = true;.
