New to Nix… Have spent time reading the docs and examples, not sure where I’m going wrong unfortunately. My setup is pretty simple:
- Installing Nix using Determinate Systems
- Install Home-Manager (Standalone)
- Setup
home.nixandflake.nix.
Basically, everything seemed to work fine until I rebooted - and then Cinnamon continually crashes and goes into fallback mode. I tried slowly removing items from my home.nix, but it seems like something was sticking around. I reverted the system by completely removing home-manager and nix.
My home.nix:
{ lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
home = {
packages = with pkgs; [
htop
neovim
];
#
# Username stuff.
username = "username";
homeDirectory = "/home/username";
#
# Someone said: don't change this moving forward.
stateVersion = "23.11";
};
# And now, this...
xdg.enable = true;
programs.home-manager.enable = true;
}
My flake.nix:
{
description = "Nix Home Manager Configuration";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";
home-manager = {
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/release-23.11";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }:
let
lib = nixpkgs.lib;
system = "x86_64-linux";
pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; };
in {
homeConfigurations = {
username = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
inherit pkgs;
modules = [ ./home.nix ];
};
};
};
}
I have a suspicion it’s something to do with me using xdg.enable incorrectly? Ultimately I think in my adventures I didn’t get .desktop links in the right path and so I thought, based on my reading, that xdg.enable handled this. Obviously this isn’t the correct way to do it. Any help would be much appreciated! TIA!!!
