@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcsi thought that maybe this was the reason that no .config/home-manager was being created04:36:41
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcsdo you have any idea why this is happening?04:36:54
@k900:0upti.meK900
In reply to @ianptkcs:matrix.org
i thought that maybe this was the reason that no .config/home-manager was being created
It shouldn't be created if you're using it as a NixOS module
04:40:18
@k900:0upti.meK900What is your actual problem 04:40:24
@k900:0upti.meK900Because this conversation isn't even an XY problem, it's like an XYZAB problem 04:40:51
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213Are you trying to initialize a home-manager configuration?04:41:02
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213Let me put an link here: https://xyproblem.info/04:41:32
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcssorry, im sleepy the problem is that im trying to follow home manager manual and after adding to configuration.nix, it shows some basic configuration. but i cant configure it because no .config/home-manager is being created04:43:20
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcs* sorry, im sleepy the problem is that im trying to follow home manager manual and after adding it to configuration.nix, it shows some basic configuration. but i cant configure it because no .config/home-manager is being created04:43:43
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213Are you using flakes?04:44:34
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcsnope04:45:03
@k900:0upti.meK900How are you adding it to configuration.nix?04:45:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Please post the actual code you've changed04:45:29
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcsRedacted or Malformed Event04:48:50
@k900:0upti.meK900Please post it as text04:50:20
@k900:0upti.meK900Not as an image04:50:22
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213Preferably via a pastebin or something like that04:50:42
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcshttps://pastebin.com/ZGgWpWEi04:58:45
@k900:0upti.meK900In that kind of setup you don't have a ~/.config/home-manager04:59:04
@k900:0upti.meK900 You put your home-manager config into home-manager.users.me 04:59:13
@k900:0upti.meK900And then rebuild your NixOS config to apply it04:59:30
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213Yeah, your home-manager config is with your nixos config04:59:40
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213.config/home-manager are for those standalone configurations04:59:54
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213that is you manage your home separately from nixos config05:00:12
@ianptkcs:matrix.orgianptkcsgot it, but then how this hm configuration would work?05:01:17
@k900:0upti.meK900 ^ 05:01:34
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213What symptoms have you encountered?05:01:36
@prince213:matrix.orgprince213* What symptoms have you encountered if it "doesn't work"?05:01:51
@k900:0upti.meK900 Like you already have programs.fish.enable = true; 05:01:58
