The Cache System/Cachix is not working

I'm assuming that the cache system is not working. Looking at the installation output, it looks like a cachix installation was attempted, but considering I have been waiting about 40 minutes for the install to finish, I think something is wrong with the cache system/service. Also, I don't see cachix installed on my system like I was expecting.

Using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.10

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the fresh Ubuntu installation and reviewing the displayed Nix and Cachix installation steps; done means determining whether the cache installation is actually failing and documenting a specific, reproducible cause.
