Problem in install with enlightment

ucchino · September 6, 2026, 12:23am

Hello everyone

This is my first installation and I’m working with LXQT, but I previously tried Enlightment, but I got an installation error.

I’m currently using VirtualBox.

NixOS ISO Version nixos-26.05/latest-nixos-graphical-x86_64-linux.iso

I’m attaching the log: https://termbin.com/hmcw

I hope it’s useful to anyone developing NixOS.

Best regards

Paolo

Also the “Development/NixOS Releases” category is wrong, FYI. I used my TL3 powers to recategorize it under Help. Development is more for people working on developing Nix/nixpkgs/NixOS/etc themselves, and the NixOS Releases subcategory is for specific discussions about the development of stable releases (like 26.05).
