Broken state of the system after 25.11

and how do I go about running that? considering that the man page describes nixos-install:

This   command   installs   NixOS   in   the   file   system   mounted   on   /mnt,   based   on   the   NixOS  configuration  specified  in
       /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. It performs the following steps:

       1.   It copies Nix and its dependencies to /mnt/nix/store.

       2.   It runs Nix in /mnt to build the NixOS configuration specified in /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix.

       3.   It installs the current channel “nixos” in the target channel profile (unless --no-channel-copy is specified).

       4.   It installs the GRUB boot loader on the device specified in the option boot.loader.grub.device (unless --no-bootloader  is  specified),
            and generates a GRUB configuration file that boots into the NixOS configuration just installed.

       5.   It prompts you for a password for the root account (unless --no-root-password is specified).

       This command is idempotent: if it is interrupted or fails due to a temporary problem (e.g. a network issue), you can safely re-run it.

I’m dumb, give me a sec

I’ll run sudo nixos-install --root ... --flake ... on the live CD and not in nixos-enter if I understood this command correctly

--root should be unnecessary if you’re set up correctly for nixos-enter (it defaults to /mnt).

--no-chanel-copy is probably advisable, as are --no-bootloader and --no-root-password. But it shouldn’t be particularly harmful if those aren’t set.

that actually helped with KDE

problem with chroot (aka nixos-enter) not reaching anything has been fixed, I can do things. but when I boot into the configuration, back to square one:

$ ping 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.69.3 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

the From ip is the static ip I gave the machine on the network.

Welp, I’m giving up. I’m just going to reinstall the system, copy my home dir back onto the install and get my flake going

Hello, I return for a moment to inform those still interested that the potential reason as to why this happened could be attributed to my SSD dying. I have already ordered replacements, as my ssds should’ve been replaced long ago.

Yeah, that would explain a lot :smiley:
