Hi.
I just upgraded my channel and system to 25.05, but when I nixos-version it still says 24.11.
Is my system actually upgraded?
May be the same problem I had. See my post to see if it fits
Wdym, “channel and system”?
And is your configuration actually using channels or are you using flakes?
I see. so I need to update the sudo’s channel in order to upgrade; however, when I perform
sudo nix-channel --remove nixos
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-25.05 nixos
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot
It says the following error
error:

Have you considered removing the package that it tells you in the error doesn’t exist?
Yep that fixed it.
Sorry I should have tried that before asking but thanks.
Also it says nerd fonts now must be specified which one to install. Which is an easy fix.
Thanks guys.
See you in nixos 25.05
Just a quick summary.
- change and update your sudo’s channel
sudo nix-channel --remove nixos
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-25.05 nixos
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot
- Fix all errors from running
sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade boot
