Hello,
I just performed a fresh install of NixOS (after I foolishly tried out ChromeOS w. Brunch on my main machine), but for some reason, Nix can’t recognise $HOME/.config/nix/registry.json even though it exists. Please help.
Thanks!
EDIT: For example, when I run nix flake show nixpkgs, it outputs error: getting status of /etc/nix/registry.json: Permission denied, when the expected is that it uses the one in ~/.config/nix. The result of nix registry list is the same error above. It is fine when I run nix flake show github:NixOS/nixpkgs.
My registry.json is here:
