The test complains[1][2] that Failed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket "/run/dbus/system_bus_socket": No such file or directory In 639e5401ff51d4c0075b5ceffcbdbfec64c67db3, the dbus socket dir is set to `/run/dbus`; in the test vm `/var/run/dbus` is used, but the standard `/run -> /var/run` link is typically not created until stage 2 init, not in the minimal init used here. Thus, dbus fails to run within the test environment . Fix by changing `/var/run/dbus` to simply `/run/dbus`. [1]: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/42534725 [2]: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/42523834
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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
