I’ve got everything set up as far as I can tell from the wiki with nixos and gnome, but when trying to connect the client hangs or disconnects with a “current user has logged off” after ~15 seconds. I heard a rumor that the main session has to be logged off in order for things to work but that’s a non-starter for obvious reasons. Any ideas?
