Bootstrap on intel throws an error during vm/switch about nixos-config

[niksteff]

I also ran into this error on the vm-intel build. It seems there is an argument missing in the flake.nix file.

After adding the variable overlays defined in flake.nix to the inherit declaration in line 45 in flake.nix the configuration works.
If you take a closer look to the mkvm.nix file you can see in the name declaration the function is expecting the argument. (i suppose). I am in no means a nixOS expert or something - this was just what i could figure out.

Should look like this:

// flake.nix
 44     nixosConfigurations.vm-intel = mkVM "vm-intel" rec {
 45       inherit nixpkgs home-manager overlays; // here overlays seems to be missing 
 46       system = "x86_64-linux";
 47       user   = "mitchellh";
 48     };

@DNVl thanks for the direction! I was just prepping a PR for this issue with exactly your same finding!

BTW @DNVl have you tried the setup on M1 too?

@lucamaraschi awesome!

no sadly not, currently i have only acces to an intel based linux machine. I set it up using vmware player.
