Bizarre OpenSSH/PAM/Nix-Home-Manager issues today. Looks like the daemon or PAM is refusing to acknowledge the symlink in `~/.nix-profile/bin/zsh` and so blocking SSH login.
It's also throwing bad password errors but I tried pasting the string in both `sudo passwd $USER` and the SSH password prompt.
`StrictModes=no` didn't have any positive affect.
User is working just fine otherwise, `/etc/shells` contains the location which matches `getent passwd`, symlink in `~/.nix-profile/bin/zsh` to the store is valid...

Hey, standalone #Nix crowd!
I'm searching for a #HomeManager config which enables LSP and installs minimal plugins for #NeoVIM.
I thought I got it, but sadly my config seems to be broken and after a couple of evenings of debugging, I gave up.
Here is my futile attempt: https://github.com/cognivore/hmm/blob/main/neovim.nix
I have searched #Github for a working config, but I failed to find one that just works for me.

I have the most random standalone #Nix / #HomeManager glitch just now.
For some reason, after I switched to home-manager-managed #bash, after a reboot, I lost my profile being sourced. So I had to add
```
if [ -e /home/sweater/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh ]; then . /home/sweater/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh; fi
```
to `bashrcExtra`.
Full disclosure: the variable wasn't empty before last switch, but still it shouldn't affect anything? Idk, weird.
Configure Newsboat with Nix Home Manager
I assume you have nix installed as a package manager at least if not the whole NixOS thing and a working home manager setup.
Most of the setup below was obvious, but the password stored externally to your configuration wasn't quite defined in the section on setting up external sync services. Using feedbin-passwordfile you can set the location of the

Spent time with #nixos #homemanager today. Last time I looked it was baffling but today I got a bunch of stuff setup on my "play" machine that can be ported to my working machine easily.
Love having a reproducible build.
Has anybody successfully used the Home Manager Firefox Module to configure the bookmarks toolbar? It doesn’t work for me, and I don’t get an answer about this in Matrix… looking for somebody to confirm this is working. Here‘s my config: https://github.com/britter/nix-configuration/pull/1
#linux #NixOS #HomeManager #Firefox #FollowerPower
Actually, #HEVC doesn’t work either, using #x264 instead. I don’t really understand why they don’t work since from what I’ve read they should have wide support.
Been learning more #NixOS including #HomeManager so I can set it up as automated as possible. I’m considering learning setting NixOS up to pull the transcode script straight from a #Git repo, that would be cool!
That script now works on the #RaspberryPi 4. My current challenge is setting up #Nix to run it when the machine turns on with #SystemD.
I can’t really get SystemD to do anything at all, which is frustrating. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Once that works though I think the system is operational!
Kevin and I are absolutely thrilled and humbled that Apple has awarded Editors’ Choice to Under My Roof® on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Does using #nix and its #homemanager #packagemanager in #ubuntu with e.g. #gnome make the #packages installed available as icons on the #desktop when the user, for whom the packages & home manager has been set up, logs into the machine? Or is it only available on the command line of that user? (I mean the process shown in this video which is command line only #cli )

If you're unsure if #NixOS is worth a switch, read my thread from https://graz.social/@publicvoit/112197919942153866 & decide whether or not those questions would relate to you before jumping onto that hype.
I don't say that everybody has those issues. However, those are my takeaways so far including my optimistic start: https://www.karl-voit.at/2023/09/12/nix/
Probably start with your current distro together with #HomeManager first. That should bring you early feedback if at least the config concept is something for you.
#NixOS update after sleeping for one month on host floyd (lenovo x260) takes 1 hour and 15 minutes (despite new 2TB SSD). During that, the device is almost non-responsive for anything else.
Host jackson (with even a slightly larger setup) probably would need 5-10 minutes maximum (lenovo t490). (I do weekly updates there.)
Didn't had that update "performance" while using Xubuntu LTS before.
If you're using #NixOS and #HomeManager and aren't already managing #Firefox using Home Manager, you're missing out.

Does anyone know what might keep (re-)creating ~/.config/xdg-terminals.list and ~/.config/none+i3-xdg-terminals.list on my NixOS machine? They keep getting created whenever I log into my account, and I'm trying to get 100% of that directory to be managed by Home-Manager.
A Google search tells me that it's part of xdg-terminal-exec, but I don't have that enabled. Why would this be created automatically, and by what?
I'm using #xfce since way over a decade because:
- it offers the right level of abstraction & functionality I expect
- it's more or less stable so I don't have to get used to different things every couple of months/years
With my latest #NixOS adventure & the Wayland situation, I'm thinking of switching over to #KDE because it has Wayland support and https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager might actually offer the possibility to fully(?) configure KDE from #HomeManager.
Did somebody made that switch as well?
