Before the error if the wrong default desktop was chosen would be: /nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11: Default desktop manager ($(defaultDM)) not found. which has the string interpolation done incorreclty. Now that is fixed and it is more user-friendly as: /nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11: Default desktop manager (gnome) not found. Probably you want to change services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome"; to one of services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome3"; services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "none";
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
