Build failed

[lentikr]

When I tried to build the NixOS on VMware, it failed. Is it a problem of VM? Maybe I will try it on a real laptop. But I'm scared for the problem happening again.

disable nerdfonts in module/fonts and retry

[hmanhng]

I think you should try branch minimal and edit the config accordingly

Thanks. But it was already the branch minimal.

When downloading the binary cache, it will take up ram, and if you don't set the ram to be large enough, an out of memory situation will occur.

Thanks. So 8GB RAM is not enough?

[Ruixi-rebirth]

Yes

[Ruixi-rebirth]

I'm not sure if vmware can enable memory sharing, if so you can enable it

Is it correct? Other problem: "No such file or directory".

This is no problem

Hello, I increased the memory of the virtual machine. After successful installation, it stuck at the following interface after reboot. It should be a failed installation. Is it because the virtual machine is not well supported?

Below are all commands I entered after entering livecd:

# follow the manual of the official site
sudo -i
parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 512MB -8GB
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GB 100%
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MB 512MB
parted /dev/sda -- set 3 esp on
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/sda1
mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sda3

Some config of the VM is as follows:

[Ruixi-rebirth]

My default desktop configuration is hyprland, and as far as I can tell, there is a real problem with the VM support.

Thanks. Maybe I'll try it on a real machine later.

[NudistBeaaach]

Same issue on a real machine. After trying to run Hyprland manually it throws: m_sWLRRenderer was NULL! :/

[re1san]

@NudistBeaaach Do you have Nvidia gpu?

Oh sorry! I completely forgotten to answer in this issue, it is fixed. I just had to enable hyprland in flake's config like here
