I just installed nixos on my laptop and I can’t install anything depending on ncurses. It fails to download using nixos channels 22.05, 22.11, my previous (flake, including lock) config from a week ago, or the same config from 2 months ago.
I get a 404 with the above URL, but when I replace archived with archives in the URL, I can download something. Nixpkgs has the correct URL, so this still seems strange.
Can you do a nix-prefetch-url https://invisible-island.net/archives/ncurses/current/ncurses-6.3-20220507.tgz or maybe download the file on a different machine and add it to the store manually before you start your build?
Sorry, I’m typing on the phone and there is a typo. It’s archives, not archived.
I bought a new computer already, the very same (flake) config works fine (it compiles) so I’m not sure the problem is with my internet connection. But I can’t start any graphical environment, sways says there is no GPU, X just hangs with “Reached target Graphical Interface” on systemd log. It’s a ryzen 7950x, with “amdgpu” enabled both in X config and kernel modules.
