Issue description

When I enable megasync in my home.nix using services.megasync.enable = true;, GNOME fails to log in with following error (and screen showing "Oh no! Something has gone wrong."):

zář 29 13:54:20 nixos-david systemd[2024]: Failed to start GNOME Shell on X11.

I tried adding xsession.enable = true; but nothing changed.

I do have these relevant settings in my configuration.nix:

services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;

  services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];
  hardware.nvidia = {
    modesetting.enable = true;
    powerManagement.enable = false;
    powerManagement.finegrained = false;
    open = false;
    nvidiaSettings = true;
    package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;
  };
  hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit.enable = true

Gnome on Wayland works, but megasync crashes on login - seems to be this issue: #5889
When ran manually after login, it works.

I also tried installing megasync in configuration.nix using environment.systemPackages and that works on both X11 and Wayland, though megasync isn't automatically starting. When I add it to Startup applications using GNOME Tweaks, it works.

You can download a snapshot of the fix in pull request #5902 here:
https://github.com/knokelmaat/home-manager/tree/megasync-fix
Click on Code, then Download ZIP. Extract it.

I see you are using nixos. If you installed home-manager as a module and you use flakes (like me), you can switch to the custom home-manager using this command (change the path to where you extracted the zip):
nixos-rebuild switch --override-input home-manager ~/Downloads/home-manager-megasync-fix
If you are not using flakes, the command should be something like
nixos-rebuild switch -I home-manager=$HOME/Downloads/home-manager-megasync-fix

If you use a standalone home-manager installation, the commands are similar (see home-manager contribution manual

It would be nice if you could test it and report if it also solves this issue, as I am unable to reproduce it using GNOME on X11.

Thanks, I can confirm this fixed it for me on both X11 and Wayland. Great job!
