Documentation for nis install not complete #133

Open intuser opened 4 years ago

intuser commented 4 years ago

I followed the instruction for a nis install (of course with the right username!):

bash <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) . /home/yourusername/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh nix-env -i webmacs

But this resulted in the error message: error: selector 'webmacs' matches no derivations

I had to execute:

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nix-channel --update

Only than nix-env -i webmacs would work. This possibility should be noticed in the documentation.

Actually things are worse. "nix-env -i webmacs" seemed to work. But starting webmacs gave:

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Several years later, still broken: webmacs http://lg.com/br Use of deprecated not thread-safe setter, use setUrlRequestInterceptor instead. [0506/092508.753882:ERROR:icu_util.cc(251)] Couldn't mmap icu data file [0506/092511.209121:ERROR:icu_util.cc(251)] Couldn't mmap icu data file

And nothing appears, just a blank python 3.10 window.
