is this enough? will it autogenerate the lock file?
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:04):You should generate the lock file by running nix flake lock, and commit that to the repo.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:04):nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";
Also, 24.05 was recently released.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:05):Don't forget to add your ssh key to rootAuthorizedKeys
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:05):Assuming this is for https://nixos.asia/en/nixos-install-oneclick
LV Nilesh (Jun 11 2024 at 18:10):I added my pubkey.
I did not generate lock. I could not generate lock because the git repo is remote.
Install finished when I used my README in my git repo https://github.com/lvnilesh/nix-one-click
Then the new nix machine wont boot after a power cycle.
I am now debugging.
Thanks for your help.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:20):@LV Nilesh It is not advisable to ignore generating the lock file. You won't get the reproducibility benefits of NixOS.
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 18:20):Just clone the git repo and add it

Let me know how that goes. Probably something to do with boot loader configuration. I've tested that flake only on Parallels VM on mac.
LV Nilesh (Jun 11 2024 at 19:07):can’t clone without git
LV Nilesh (Jun 11 2024 at 19:08):Newbie does not know how to get git in a USB booted live nix environment

Thanks.

LV Nilesh (Jun 11 2024 at 19:27):I cloned git - then CD into it and then don't yet know how to nix flake lock

Post the error message. Your 3rd command is correct.

this screenshot when I try SeaBIOS
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 20:24):Ah, try this.
First, run nix shell nixpkgs#git to enter a shell with git on PATH.
Then, you can run nix flake lock, etc. normally.

Can you say more about the machine you are installing to?
LV Nilesh (Jun 11 2024 at 23:30):
Srid (Jun 11 2024 at 23:50):Was /dev/sda the right disk ?
LV Nilesh (Jun 12 2024 at 01:11):yes
Srid (Jun 12 2024 at 02:51):Try the graphical installer, and see what configuration.nix it generates. Then adopt that config into your flake:
https://nixos.asia/en/nixos-install-flake
LV Nilesh (Jun 12 2024 at 03:37):Did that. It created https://github.com/lvnilesh/nixos-config/blob/master/configuration.nix
How would I add that to this https://github.com/lvnilesh/nix-one-click/blob/master/flake.nix
Srid (Jun 12 2024 at 03:52):Add it to the modules list
Srid (Jun 12 2024 at 03:52):Just like how you are importing ./disk-config.nix
Srid (Jun 12 2024 at 03:52):Make sure to git add the new file (Nix won't see it otherwise)
Srid (Jun 12 2024 at 03:53):Though at this point you can get rid of ./disk-config.nix, and the existing boot config from flake.

I recall facing this while setting up a server at Juspay. It is most likely due to Intel VMD being enabled in your BIOS, which would require the proprietary intel drivers to get it working in NixOS. I recommend just disabling it if that’s the case and you can use mdadm for raid configuration instead.
