Hi!I have started to play with Nix 0.15 on Ubuntu, using the prebuilt AMD64 package for Ubuntu 9.10.
However, I stumbled into some problems when I try to install packages with a normal user. This is what I do:
As root, I start "nix-worker --daemon" Then, as a normal user I do: $ source /etc/profile.d/nix.sh creating /home/rnils/.nix-profile $ export NIX_REMOTE=daemon$ nix-channel --add http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --updatedownloading Nix expressions from `http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.bz2'... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

unpacking channel Nix expressions...error: creating directory `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/rnils': Permission denied
cannot unpack the channels at /usr/bin/nix-channel line 128.Looking at the documentation, I can't find any other steps I need to do in order to get the nix-worker-as-root scenario working. Is the documentation maybe outdated?
Best regards, Rickard Nilsson
