RaisinBreadI somehow broke #nixos
davidak@RaisinBread in which way?
and how did you achieve that?
was it easy to recover?
@davidak Xserver wouldnt start. Not a new generation. I was messing with qemu/kvm gpu pass through but i had no way to bring my mouse and keyboard back to host so i hit the power button on my pc. After that the wm and dm wouldnt start. I didnt feel like troubleshooting so i just backed up some files and installed a different distro that may work better for me.
@RaisinBread sounds like an issue with stateful configuration (of kvm). if it would be possible to configure that with nixos, you would be able to roll-back. i had situations where xserver did not start with a new kernel and could just roll back and use lts kernel
maybe it would have been enough to stop kvm and start xserver again, and them remove broken kvm config
i guess you would have the same issue on any distro when doing the same thing (and have the same software version)
