 K900 | How about readlink -f $(which ps) then? | 19:01:11 |
 henrik-ch | [i97henka@nixos:~/github]$ readlink -f $(which ps)
/nix/store/gkfgyv628y93jahpnpq22f4kcs0ixsh1-procps-3.3.16/bin/ps
| 19:01:38 |
 Arson Copperflame | That is exactly the same derivation I have | 19:02:28 |
| Arson Copperflame | Did you copy the ps command? If yes, try typing it manually. Something might have replaced the - with some other similar looking symbol | 19:03:27 |
| henrik-ch | I did actually type it manually - let me copy it now. | 19:03:48 |
| henrik-ch | [i97henka@nixos:~/github]$ ps -e | grep gpg
415 ? 00:00:00 gpg-agent
| 19:04:50 |
| henrik-ch | No clue why that was different the second time around. | 19:05:04 |

At least it's consistent now - I have typed it a second time with the same result. | 19:07:17 |
| Arson Copperflame | At least we now know, that there's only one GPG-Agent running | 19:17:17 |

| henrik-ch | Thank you nzbr (they/it) and K900 for the help yesterday. Short update from me trying this morning.
When I use the nixos user instead of the i97henka user that I have set up, it all works.
What I mean with "all works" is that I can run:
gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 file_with_secrets.env
| 08:29:15 |
| K900 | Why do you even still have the nixos user | 08:29:33 |
| K900 | Please just remove it entirely | 08:29:37 |
| henrik-ch | Fair point.
As you suggested, I went the other way and eliminated the nixos user and ran only with i97henka. I couldn't get it working that way.
Let me try that one more time just to make sure. Doesn't make any sense that it would be different, right? | 08:31:09 |
| henrik-ch | I have done the steps, and trying to get back to the i97henka user I got a home manager error - seems to have corrupted the git profile, not sure why.
Mar 08 08:36:51 nixos systemd[1]: Failed to start Home Manager environment for i97henka.
So what I did instead to get a fresh start, is change my user to i98henka.
It's embarrasing but a good result in the end; now I get the command working for the i98henka user.
(gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 file_with_secrets.env)
I apologise for wasting your time on this K900 & nzbr (they/it)
| 08:59:08 |
| K900 | You should probably look into why it's failing | 08:59:29 |
| K900 | journalctl -u home-manager-i97henka will tell you | 08:59:38 |
| henrik-ch | thank you, will check that out. | 08:59:49 |
| henrik-ch | Firstly, sorry, this is a long-winded reply.

What do you think could be the best way for eliminating the home-manager i97 user error?
I am hesitant to touch the /nix/store path, but maybe that is the way forward?
| 09:48:05 |
| K900 | Just remove the symlink | 09:48:32 |
| K900 | You don't need to remove the file it's pointing to | 09:48:44 |
| henrik-ch | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
You don't need to remove the file it's pointing to ok | 09:48:53 |
| K900 | And you have clearly screwed up the permissions somehow | 09:48:59 |
| K900 | As those are owned by user 1001 | 09:49:04 |
| K900 | Which isn't even known | 09:49:13 |
| henrik-ch | Thank you.
Do I have to remove much more than that? Please see ls and id command below:

| K900 | You probably want to chown those to your user | 09:53:51 |
| K900 | Or just chown -R 1000 . | 09:54:16 |
| K900 | To change all of them | 09:54:21 |
| henrik-ch | Yes, ran like this: sudo chown -R i97henka:users /home/i97henka/
Seems better now. | 10:00:44 |
