Hello,

Thank you for the bug report. It looks like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76684 is the root cause.

The workaround is to use the latest stable channel.

user@ubuntu1804:~$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-19.09 nixpkgs
user@ubuntu1804:~$ nix-channel --update

After that Appvm should work as intended.

Please, confirm if it solves the issue.
