[Help] setting up firefox with home-manager

Help
1

I am trying to set up Firefox with home-manager, all going well, except that option for search mainly for search.default and search.engines

Here is the error, I get it, but IDK why. I am getting it :slightly_frowning_face:

warning: Git tree '/home/mahmoud/.config/nixpkgs' is dirty

This is fairly new, what commit of home manager are you using? This is a flake, right?

nix flake lock --update-input home-manager or such should do it, assuming you’re using the master branch.

Also.thanks for pointing out this exists now, I need to dig into the magic sometime. My previous attempts at implementing it failed horribly :slight_smile:

Yes, flakes and home-manager as module. I am using nixos-rebuild switch --flake '.#labbi'

Yep, as I said, you will probably need to update your flake inputs then.

Flakes don’t use channels, but instead the versions of inputs listed in flake.lock. If you look into that file you’ll probably see a reference to home-manager, and that it’s not up-to-date with master.

If you’re on NixOS unstable, you can just use the command I mentioned to update that (or perhaps nix flake update to update all of them, sounds like that might be a good idea).

If you are on stable, however, you might need to wait until the end of the month for the 22.11 update, otherwise your home-manager and nixpkgs might go a bit out of sync.

Thanks, I think this solved my problem.
Dramatically I ended with new one, that are so unclear

error: value is a list while a set was expected
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information

Any clue on how to debug this one!

The link is broken.

And this post needs 20 characters at least.

Yea, sorry. Fixed it now. Please recheck it.

Hard to say without a --show-trace, sadly.

Here you go. Thanks for helping me out!

EDIT: This was a hard one, but figured it out. was in vscode. Thank you all!
