 uep | There's not a great benefit in adding that overhead, vs something that runs and makes the relevant settings based on the current value. It's just more framework and stuff to change as a way of pushing the same settings. | 06:17:25 |
| uep | If this is only about helix, rather than a more general issue, you could ask for an enhancement there, or write a wrapper that checks on startup | 06:19:15 |
| uep | (I don't know if you have long-running instances or start it frequently) | 06:19:58 |

If this is only about helix, rather than a more general issue, you could ask for an enhancement there, or write a wrapper that checks on startup I think this is more of a nix & gnome issue, since the solution for it exists outside of nix via just editing the file in ~/.confg. You're right about the overhead, and I know that putting in the shell script (or whatever) in my configuration itself is the same as making 2 derivations it feels more imperative than creating the 2 declarations. I'm not sure I can explain why though. I guess I'll look into it more but won't put too much effort. | 06:21:22 |

| uep | Getting nix involved at the time of switching seems way to heavy-weight, there's otherwise no reason it would be invoked. It can deploy both sets of configs, however you package them, in advance - but the thing that gets invoked by toggling dark mode should be much smaller, and just send a few dbus config changes, or swap config files / a symlink | 06:25:10 |
| uep | I think you want to change something in a helic config file, right? | 06:26:03 |

I think you want to change something in a helic config file, right? Yes, and right now it's controlled by home-manager | 06:27:15 |
| @dre:imad.nyc | I think I have a solution, though, by a shell-script that reads the current dark mode and just having two config files that are identical and swapping between them. Helix has a flag to load in different config files. | 06:28:09 |
| uep | ah, i see. programs.helix.theme is a HM setting | 06:28:14 |
| uep | to generate that config. | 06:28:52 |
| @dre:imad.nyc | In reply to@uep:matrix.org
to generate that config. yup | 06:29:01 |
| uep | yeah, then sounds like a wrapper that chooses which config to pass helix each start could work well | 06:29:22 |

| @dre:imad.nyc | yea, i think it should. Thanks! | 06:29:47 |
| uep | (is there an arg to pass that specific setting, rather than a file? Then you can just use the file HM generates, and override that one thing) | 06:39:01 |

 @js:ukvly.org | hey! for me login via GDM to my gnome session sometimes takes 2-3 attempts. I just end up at the login screen after entering the password. what's the best way to debug this? | 22:15:23 |

 Jan Tojnar | Julian Stecklina: look at journal and maybe services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.debug = true; and services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.debug = true; | 12:59:16 |
