Can't manage to get hyprland to work with Home-Manager

Help

Here is my flake.nix

  description =  "Aurel nix config";

  inputs = {
    # Nixpkgs
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.05";

    # Home manager
    home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/release-23.05";
    home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";

    hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland";

    xremap-flake.url = "github:xremap/nix-flake";
  };

  outputs = {
    self,
    nixpkgs,
    home-manager,
    hyprland,
    ...
  } @ inputs: let
    inherit (self) outputs;

          {wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true;}
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

But I get this error trying to tun home-manager

error: The option `wayland.windowManager.hyprland' does not exist. Definition values:
       - In `<unknown-file>':
           {
             enable = true;
           }
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

So i tried using it without the flake like its indicated in the hyprland manual but it says the same error. when i check online manual the wayland.windowManager.hyprland exist but when i do man home-configuration.nix it doesnt show up

wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable should be in your home.nix (show us your home.nix config?) and not passed in the modules in the flake itself, seeing as it is a home-manager option. I think you’re just setting it in the wrong place.

4

Here is my config : https://github.com/aurreland/nix-config/tree/master
The home.nix is in modules/nixos/wm/hyprland/home.nix
I am still getting errors

5

why isn’t it set with a bool? i.e., wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true

6

Sorry I couldn’t push with git so I writed some things manually but it is set as true in the real config

7

You could try using the upstream home-manage module.

8

I think that’s what they’re following to begin with. Hmmm, perplexing. EDIT: Ah, yes, nvm. Try upstream as @11453ab5 points out

9

That’s what I’m following but I don’t know why it doesn’t work

10

I don’t think you’re actually using the upstream home-manager module since it is not listed as an input in your flake. Try enabling and importing it. There should be instructions in the official docs.

Tho I must point out that I’m using the h-m version and works well for me.

I’ll try re-reading your config in the meanwhile.

11

Sorry I read it wrong I’m using the downstream one

12

Could you help me using it I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

13

Dw, give me a sec to re-read the config…

14

I’m not sure about this but could it be that the downstream home-manager option is not present on your current home-manager version? I don’t when it was added but I’m sure it was not too long ago.

You could either try:

  • The upstream module.
  • Updating your h-m version.
15

I uptated with nix flake update and then rebuilt nixos and hm and it still doesn’t work

16

Your config is kinda convoluted and hard to follow :face_with_spiral_eyes: But the error is clear enough, you’re attempting to use an option that does not exist where you’re attempting to use it. Does --show-trace get you anywhere?

17

Ok it works now after re updating
