  • I live in UAE and the internet very fast so I don’t think the problem from the network
  • The error message very long so I gave you the only the last lines of it

If you have any idea you think would help me plz let me know.

A 23.05 nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade seems to be hanging for me. I’m not getting warnings or timeouts; it seems stuck on this:

copying path ‘/nix/store/pglpjbmnnhd8g2xkwi029j5wxxvp3d48-chromium-unwrapped-120.0.6099.71’ from ‘https://cache.nixos.org’…

There’s next to no network activity.

Edit:
@Jasim, I rebooted my modem/router and things now seem to be progressing. I’m not sure whether or not that is what allowed the downloads to continue, but maybe worth a try?

I have nothing to do but trying everything can solve the problem, and even if you or anyone tell me that quitting smoking can help solve the problem I will try it immediately.

:slight_smile: Did either do the trick?
