Can you be a little more precise? I don't use awesome myself, but you probably need to install it in configuration.nix via the `services.xserver.windowManager.awesome` set of options.
You then need to sudo nixos-rebuild --switch This uses the nixpkgs version that the root user has configured, rather than what your user has configured. So double check the output of sudo nix-channel --list You can also dig around in ~/.nix-defexpr/channels_root/.
