[Nix-dev] AwesomeWM

[Luke Clifton]

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/.
