Hi all,
I decided to dip my toes into NixOS because I’m an obsessive tinkerer, but I’m stumbling a bit at the first hurdle - getting it to install 
I’m booting the plasma live cd on a laptop with hybrid intel/nvidia graphics - I’ve booted the live cd using the nomodeset option and get as far as being prompted to start the GUI, and that’s where I’m currently stumped.
Running ‘sudo systemctl start display-manager’ correctly starts the display manager (output of systemctl status shows it to be active and running), however the session remains locked into the command line and I can’t seem to get any further.
Before I roll up my sleeves and resign myself to a manual install, does anyone have any ideas what could be happening?
Edit: held my nose and booted from the gnome live cd instead and hey presto, I can live with gnome for 10 minutes I guess
