Hello, I could have encountered another bug with 2.6.31: when setting ttyBackgrounds.enable to true, nix suddenly fails with a horrible error message (see below). This doesn't occur when using 2.6.28 or setting ttyBackgrounds.enable to false.
With best regards, pierre ---- error: while instantiating the derivation named `system' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:95:9': while evaluating the derivation attribute `buildCommand' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:96:17': while evaluating the attribute `systemBuilder' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:49:16': while evaluating the attribute `<let-body>' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/top-level.nix:50:8': in a string concatenation: while instantiating the derivation named `stage-2-init.sh' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/substitute/substitute-all.nix:6:7': while evaluating the derivation attribute `activateConfiguration' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/boot/stage-2.nix:34:12': while instantiating the derivation named `nixos-activation-script' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:345:12': while evaluating the derivation attribute `text' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:357:29': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings-with-deps.nix:69:40': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:32:37': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:23': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:14:33': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/trivial.nix:4:9': while evaluating the attribute `text' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/activation/activation-script.nix:11:11': in a string concatenation: while evaluating the attribute `text' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings-with-deps.nix:73:38': in a string concatenation: while instantiating the derivation named `etc' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/etc/etc.nix:40:9': while evaluating the derivation attribute `sources' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/etc/etc.nix:45:12': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/etc/etc.nix:45:21': while evaluating the attribute `source' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:280:17': in a string concatenation: while instantiating the derivation named `upstart-jobs' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:345:12': while evaluating the derivation attribute `jobs' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:82:52': while instantiating the derivation named `upstart-tty-backgrounds' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:345:12': while evaluating the derivation attribute `jobText' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:69:43': while evaluating the attribute `jobText' at `/etc/nixos/nixos/modules/system/upstart/upstart.nix:12:14': in a string concatenation: while evaluating the attribute `preStart' at undefined position: while evaluating the attribute `value' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:105:41': while evaluating the function at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/modules.nix:190:44': while evaluating the attribute `result' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/modules.nix:296:17': while evaluating the attribute `value' at `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/modules.nix:263:16': while evaluating the option 'jobs.ttyBackgrounds.preStart'.
