Missing plymouth executable

Help

Hey there! I’m trying to modify my config. When running nixos-rebuild switch the config seems to build correctly but I then get thrown into emergency mode where I check journalctl and it tells me it can’t run plymouth because it won’t find it.
Here is configuration.nix:

# Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on
# your system.  Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page
# and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).
{
  config,
  pkgs,
  flake-inputs,
  agenix,
  ...
}: {
  imports = [
    # Include the results of the hardware scan.
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
  ];

  };

Any help or comment is appreciated!

The plymouth thing is a red herring; it always says that, even when a functioning system has to go into emergency mode.

So we don’t have enough information here. I don’t see anything obvious in your configuration that would be an issue, so I think we would need to see the logs. journalctl -b 0 will show all the logs for the current boot.

Hey, thanks for the reply! Indeed the problem was a complete red herring. I was actually using an alias to update the config. The alias mapped to the flake output of my laptop which runs on intel and nvidia hardware, thus the strange error. It is now fixed!!
