I’ve got a flake which imports a system configuration and attempts to set up a home manager profile for a single user:
{
description = "NixOS system configurations.";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";
home-manager = {
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = { self, home-manager, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs:
let
system = "x86_64-linux";
stateVersion = "23.11";
configRoot = self;
specialArgs = {
inherit home-manager nixpkgs system stateVersion configRoot;
};
in {
nixosConfigurations = {
inherit system;
panza = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
inherit specialArgs;
modules = [
./hosts/panza.nix
home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
{
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
home-manager.users.foo = import ./users/foo/home.nix;
}
];
};
};
};
}
I’m just getting started with home manager and tried to get a minimal example working as per the manual. Here’s my home.nix:
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
home.username = "foo";
home.homeDirectory = "/home/foo";
home.stateVersion = "23.11";
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
}
Very cryptically, I get something like the following:
error:

I can post the system config too but it’s fairly close to the default one provided by the nixOS installer and I don’t think anything there is causing this problem. This is just bizarre to me, as I guess Kanshi is a display profile tool for wayland and my system only uses X for now. Any ideas?
