I am trying to create a VM using virt-manager. Unfortunatelly, I am running into an error (logs bellow). My configuration.nix contains both lines from wiki.
Error launching details: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'conn'
Traceback (most recent call last):

key = "%s+%s" % (vm.conn.get_uri(), vm.get_uuid())
^^^^^^^

I am not sure, what do do. Could someone please point me in a right direction?
It looks like another NixOS user had your exact problem (see this nixpkgs issue). According to them, the problem is a missing GTK cursor. They use home-manager, and solved their problem by setting this option:
home.pointerCursor.gtk.enable = true;
At what point in the process does this error occur? I also run virt-manager on my nixos machine, but I haven’t created a VM in some time, so I’m not sure whether or not this bug also affects me. (EDIT: I also do not use home-manager.) I use KDE Plasma 5; it’s possible that that brings in a compatible cursor. What desktop environment/window manager are you using?
I tried it, but at first, it threw errors at me. I had to change up the config a bit, but it works now. I was confused, because prior to reinstalling NixOS to encrypt the partition with LUKS, I didn’t have this setting and it worked.
