Is anyone else having problems upgrading to #NixOS 23.05?
The error I'm getting on rebuild: https://haste.benjaminhollon.com/oqacixigut
EDIT: I got it! :D
My best evaluation of what went wrong: there wasn't actually any issue with the built image, it's just that the systemd check failed because it was running from an older version? So I added a flag to force it to keep going anyway and when I rebooted, here I am in 23.05! XD

Yeah, I'm planning to ask around on the NixOS matrix channel when I have some time. Hopefully they'll end up knowing the root of the issue.

@benjaminhollon i just remembered I was running nixos unstable and switched to 23.05. But I pinned some of my apps to unstable to be on the bleeding edge.
I had the boot problem with a clean install on my spare laptop when I applied my config.
I would report that bug, I thought I could help
Benjamin Hollon
Wait, I'm still getting errors trying to rebuild once I'm booted into the new version… I may just need to rollback to 22.11, report the bug, and see what happens.

Ha, sleep well. It's 14:00 here, so I'll keep working on it a while. ;)

@benjaminhollon ok, good. i thought this would be a simple fix, but it is almost 2:00 am where i am. so i am going to try to get some sleep

Hmm now I'm getting a different error.
File system "/boot" is not a FAT EFI System Partition (ESP) file system.
systemd-boot not installed in ESP.
No default/fallback boot loader installed in ESP.

But I think this is on the right track…
CapT-Rex :maryland: :nixos:
@benjaminhollon this is what i got for uefi.
```
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
#boot.loader.efi.efiSysMountPoint = "/boot/efi";
```

Very similar to what's in mine (for some reason I get a 403 error when trying to post the relevant config).
Was it commenting out that line that fixed it for you? I'll try that.
Benjamin Hollon
Which options did you change? (thanks for the help) That does seem to be where my research is pointing to.
CapT-Rex :maryland: :nixos:
@benjaminhollon I had to change the efi boot loader options in my config
Benjamin Hollon
Okay, I've figured everything out.
Temporary workaround: running your nixos-rebuild commands with the --install-bootloader flag will make the build succeed.
Long-term solution: there's a PR that's been merged and should fix this, the fix just needs to move from staging to the main channel. You can track the progress here: https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=235770
(I'm getting a 502 error from the link at the moment, but it worked a couple hours ago and'll probably work again soon)
Benjamin Hollon
Okay, I've gone back to 22.11. Anyone know the proper place to report an issue like this? Is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs the right repo?
Benjamin Hollon
Correction, I *thought* I'd solved it. I somehow got it to build a bootable system, but when I boot into that system, builds are still failing whenever I try to rebuild. I may just need to rollback, report the bug, and see what happens.
