hey there , i m new here and i have been getting some error messages when rebuilding the home-manager

home-manager switch -b backup --impure --flake .#kenzo --show-trace

error log :

trace: warning: You are using

  Home Manager version 25.05 and
  Nixpkgs version 23.11.

Using mismatched versions is likely to cause errors and unexpected
behavior. It is therefore highly recommended to use a release of Home
Manager that corresponds with your chosen release of Nixpkgs.

If you insist then you can disable this warning by adding

  home.enableNixpkgsReleaseCheck = false;

to your configuration.

i m confused why hm is asking for fcixt5 , i have not mentioned it anywhere in the config files , i also tried :

nix why-depends nixpkgs#home-manager nixpkgs#fcitx5-with-addons

output says

'flake:nixpkgs#home-manager' does not depend on 'flake:nixpkgs#fcitx5-with-addons'

i dont know if it is being fetched as a dependency or what but i am not able to get through it …

i tried installing fctix5-with-addons , the build fails and i m not able to resolve the situation

here are the config files :

Well you have a couple problems:

  • You’re mixing stable with unstable, which is never supported.
  • You’re mixing stable nixpkgs with unstable HM, which is just incorrect:
    hm.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";

        pkgs = import nixpkgs-stable {
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          config = { allowUnfree = true; };
        };
  • You’re using 23.11 for your stable, which has been dead for over a year now.
  • You’re using the release-* branch, which you should also never use - only use the nixos-* branches.

Simple (and correct) fix is to switch your nixpkgs that you’re using to unstable, to match your NixOS config, and get rid of the stable nixpkgs input.

thank you @waffle8946

i never knew about that, i have not used nixos for a very long time , this is my second attempt with nixos and i am still learning

this has fixed the issue and i have learned something new too

thanks !!
