… mode Two units failed on the first real switch to sakost-server: - nvidia.nix enables services.xserver; with greetd disabled nixpkgs falls back to lightdm, which crash-loops headless (start-limit-hit). Force xserver off — videoDrivers stays set, so the nvidia driver and CUDA are unaffected. - home-manager's dconfSettings activation needs the dconf D-Bus service that only the desktop stack provides; headless it failed the whole home-manager-sakost unit. Disable HM dconf in server mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HniCK49eWcvQCieLZbjdde

Two units failed on the first real switch to
sakost-server(found live, root-caused on the box):modules/hardware/nvidia.nixenablesservices.xserver; with greetd disabled, nixpkgs silently falls back to lightdm, which can't start headless and hits its start-limit. Fixed by forcingservices.xserver.enable = falsein the profile —videoDriversstays set, so the NVIDIA driver and CUDA are unaffected (verifiednvidia-smipresent in the built closure,display-manager.servicegone).dconfSettingsactivation step needs the dconf D-Bus service that only the desktop stack provides; headless it fails with "The name is not activatable". Fixed by disabling HM dconf in server mode.Both outputs build; desktop closure unaffected.
