That’s very odd, since you add that explicitly to environment.systemPackages, so it should be there whether the nvidia module is added to your system or not. Just to double check, you didn’t comment this out, right:
If you did, that’d explain why both of those are missing, given you special case on it for adding nvidia-settings.
I removed the comment on that, but now there’s an error I haven’t seen yet:

warning: error(s) occurred while switching to the new configuration
You ran out of space in /boot. You’ll have to garbage collect some old generations with nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 5d or suchlike. Might need to do some manual deletion of old kernels in addition to that, I forget if the scripts delete old ones or deploy the new kernel first.
In addition, you might want to set a configurationLimit.
I set the configurationLimit to 5 and that worked. Well, there is still a problem with the Vulkan headers with the newest driver (which I still want due to issues in games).
Mind not adding the config.hardware.nvidia.package.settings.overrideAttrs thing to your packages just to confirm disabling nvidiaSettings actually works? The override looks correct, but I’ve not personally tested it.

Hello again, I’m returning with another error since vulkan header is still not implemented but the same 555.58.02 driver I’ve been using for a while is giving me this
You probably should stick to an LTS kernel if you are using the proprietary nvidia drivers, as it’s not guaranteed that when NixOS bumps the latest kernel that those drivers will be able to compile against it.
It is fixed for all driver versions assuming you’re on 24.11: nvidia-settings: add vulkan-headers dependency · NixOS/nixpkgs@0384602 · GitHub
After battling with upgrade from 24.05 to 24.11, everything works now.
Added hardware.graphics.enable = true and used the beta drivers.
I can use Wayland with Nvidia X settings and everything shows up. I think this will be the final post on this topic. Thank you everyone for help.
