Hi.
Tried to install nix but am stuck with an issue I'm not able to resolve. Whenever I boot the system, it uses approx 5min on the boot-up of Nixos Stage #1 as seen in the picture. After a while it will boot into the system but without a GUI. I've done the installation twice, with different isos to make sure I didn't do it wrong. It only works if I downgrade to nixos 23.11, but if I update(+plasma 6) from there It results in the same problem.
The error is:
kernel: Acpi Error: Aborting method (long string) due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT)
Have no idea what this error is, and there don't seem to be alot of info on it. Reaching out here to see if anyone is able to help me troubleshoot this, as I would really like to try latest Nixos.
Hmmm might be, I'm also experiencing very long boot times. Normally have to wait 3-6min while watching the Asus ROG logo before the system decides to boot up. Might just be easier to look for a new mobo than to troubleshoot something I know so little about to be honest.
That's definitely a frustrating situation you have, and I very much encourage you to take the path that feels most possible to you!
Before moving on, I would like to point to trying what u/mvirts suggested, disabling ACPI from the grub bootloader. It's easy and great for getting an installer running and working, and sometimes the freshly installed and updated OS whisks the problem away.
But regardless of what you choose, I wish you much luck in your endeavours!
Thanks for the nice reply!
