konsole not starting

[LATBauerdick]

Hi Mitchell, thanks for sharing this, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

My "issue" is probably not really an issue with your setup, but I don't have the knowledge to debug and get beyond this, so your help is much appreciated:

I went through all your steps, learned a lot in going through your setup, but in the last step, after logging in from the VM window, I never got the terminal window! I am just stuck with the nixos logo background.

I am sure this must be a trivial problem. ssh into the virtual machine works just fine, rebuild/switch within the VM also no problem over ssh, but I don't know how to get the VM window to show the terminal prompt.

Any help with this is much appreciated -- I'm so close to the perfect setup now!

Thanks, LatB

I use i3 and you have to bind a key to the terminal. For me its "cmd-N" on the Mac keyboard. You also have to make sure (if you watch my youtube video) you disable Fusion from capturing "cmd-N" to mean "New VM". It sounds like you're right on the finish line! But its something like that :)

and with CMD-N I just crossed the finish line... Thank you!

(Maybe you can add that to the README)

Thanks again for sharing this!
