That means that there are no active channels. You either didn’t add the nixos channel (`nix-channel --add`) or forgot to update channels (`nix-channels --update`). > notice the date on the . folder. How did it ended up being like that ? > That’s perfectly fine: `~/.nix-defexpr/channels` is a symlink into the nix store, and all the files in the store have dates like this (because they are hashed, so they have to have some “normalised” mtime).
