Hi, I am using home-manager on NixOS and I am having trouble using i3lock.
When I run i3lock --debug and enter the valid password, I get Authentication failure. Note that when I run it as sudo and then use the sudo password, i3lock works properly. It’s when I run it as a user that it doesn’t work. I’ve double and tripled checked and even changed to a test password and it still says Authentication failure
I think it may be a pam issue but since it’s installed by nixos, I don’t know how to fix it.
Here is the pam file installed at /etc/pam.d/i3lock that is linked to the nix store.
