Hi,
It has been a few weeks since I have started using nix on my debian machine through home-manager.
I am using sway, so I was considering to reinstall it with nix (currently it is installed via apt), but it didn’t work out. Actually, I have little clues about what might be the cause of this problem.
So here I am, a little confused, searching for help from you guys.
I have tried to install sway using ubuntu and ubuntu-server with the same nix setup (home-manager) and it worked out of the box.
Do you have some ideas of what might cause this issue ?
Maybe, I am lacking some packages,…
Thanks!
PS:
Here are the logs
