I'm using nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11 and am experiencing the following error when following the installation instructions:

I'm running on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS with Nix installed via the Determinate Nix installer. NVIDIA driver is installed by the instructions here. Happy to provide any other information that would be useful to debug.

Same thing with nix-env -iA nixgl.auto.nixGLNvidia.

Using the nix flake directly fails for a different reason:

This is a duplicate of #154 I'd say.
