ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file

What looks like a reasonable reason:

nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file

opened 04:54AM - 18 Aug 16 UTC

2.status: stale

I tried to enable the Nvidia driver adding the following to my configuration.nix… file: `services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "intel" "nvidia" ];` The system boots up as normal, but I get the following message when I run. I've also tried removing "intel" from the video driver list, but that cause x to fail. ``` $ nvidia-settings ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed along with this driver at /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and descriptions. ``` ``` bash $ nixos-version 16.03.1213.baf46b9 (Emu) ```
