When sandbox-fallback = true (the default), the Nix builder will fall back to disabled sandbox mode when the kernel doesn’t allow users to set it up. This prevents hard errors from occuring in tricky places, especially the initial installer. To restore the previous behavior, users can set: sandbox-fallback = false in their /etc/nix/nix.conf configuration.
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
