Today I tried to set up a Linux guest on my OS X host using NixOps + VirtualBox, but I ran into some difficulty that's way over my head. I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong, the docs are outdated, or I've actually found a bug. \r\n\r\nI installed the Nix package manager onto my OS X 10.9.5 system using the curl script at http://nixos.org/nix/. It seems to be working fine, and I'm able to install various packages on the OS X host.\r\n\r\nToday I tried to follow the NixOps User's Guide at http://hydra.nixos.org/build/21432503/download/1/manual/manual.html#idm140737319353616 to set up a VirtualBox guest running NixOS, but I ran into difficulty almost immediately. After creating the network and trying to get the info about it, I was confronted with \"error: infinite recursion encountered\". I've pasted my console session at http://hastebin.com/raw/iqakozegew with the results of `nixops info -d trivial --show-trace`, among other things.\r\n\r\nDid I do something wrong in following the User's Guide, or is something out of date?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixops/issues/comments/94304789","html_url":"https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/issues/284#issuecomment-94304789","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixops/issues/284","id":94304789,"user":{"login":"epall","id":11366,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11366?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall","html_url":"https://github.com/epall","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/epall/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-19T18:48:54Z","updated_at":"2015-04-19T18:48:54Z","body":"I'm guessing this is related to #281, but in my case I'm trying to deploy to virtualbox, which he says is working fine in his configuration."}}
