  1. so i have tried to debug my nixos with this command white sudo a white out
    *nix --experimental-features nix-command config check
  • and it gave an unexpected and in some cry incomprehensible error message


$ nix --experimental-features nix-command config check
[PASS] PATH contains only one nix version.
[FAIL] Found profiles outside of /nix/var/nix/profiles.
The generation this profile points to might not have a gcroot and could be
garbage collected, resulting in broken symlinks.

  "/home/user/.nix-profile/bin"


[PASS] Client protocol matches store protocol.

nix ref manual has an article about profiles, but it is not so easy to understand how it explains a possible solution to the problem “[FAIL] Found profiles outside of /nix/var/nix/profiles” some good suggestions

Nix ref manual

testing the path to profile/bin, there is no bin but a fill manifest.nix, with an unreadable indentation

~/.nix-profile]$ cat manifest.nix
[ ]

and –switch profile doesn’t make any difference either

nix-env --switch-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/default

I must consider my problem solved, epiphany has been uninstalled and .nix-profile/bin has been deleted. :hugs:
