Unable to build nix due to nvidia drivers due or kernel 6.10(?)

Thank you again everyone!

I was able to find the rest of the values “until it worked.”

I’ll try to remember this method in the future, for every time there’s a Nvidia driver update and Linux kernel update.

Thank you!

hello, would you like to share how did you find driver 570.133, and were you able to build it with kernel 6.14?

Check these
unstable: nixpkgs/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nvidia-x11/default.nix at 18dd725c29603f582cf1900e0d25f9f1063dbf11 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

Or:

{ config, }:

let
  # https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/18dd725c29603f582cf1900e0d25f9f1063dbf11/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nvidia-x11/default.nix
  unstable = import <nixos-unstable> {
    config = {
      allowUnfree = true;
    };
  };

in
{
  boot = {
    kernelPackages = unstable.linuxPackages_latest; # 6.14 atm
  };

  hardware = {
    nvidia = {
      package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.latest; # or stable, production, etc depending on the branch
    };
  };
}
