Stylix image not working

Help

Hi, i am trying to get stylix set up but it doesnt work with the error message ` … while evaluating the option

`home-manager.users.jankoh.xdg.systemDirs.config’:

   … while evaluating definitions from `/nix/store/18lx9jbhwdwsd3w2zx3nwg887wwm3il9-source/modules/kde/hm.nix':

   … while evaluating the option `home-manager.users.jankoh.stylix.base16Scheme':

   … while evaluating definitions from `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/home-manager/nixos/common.nix':

   … while evaluating the option `stylix.image':

   (stack trace truncated; use '--show-trace' to show the full, detailed trace)

   error: The option `stylix.image' was accessed but has no value defined. Try setting the option.`

The part of my home manager as a nix module looks like:

  stylix = {
    image = /home/jankoh/.dotfiles/nixcold.png;
    enable = true;
    polarity = "dark";
    autoEnable = true;
  };

I tried it in all different formats, including grabbing the image directly from the web, but it always gives the same error

if you need more context, here is my full config:

stylix.image has to be set in system configuration, not HM.

I just cut/pasted the block i allready wrote in my original post, i know that that causes the problem because if i cmment it out, it works

do you have any ideas how to fix it or at wich site i should look?

thx :smiley:

i know that it tells me to delete something, but i dont want to break anything, so i ask first

Check the full logs of the failing unit, then delete the offending file(s).

[jankoh@nixos:~]$ sudo rm -fr /nix/store/m91h9kmjw78swvldfb9px8qnv1nb23ax-hm-setup-env
rm: das Entfernen von '/nix/store/m91h9kmjw78swvldfb9px8qnv1nb23ax-hm-setup-env' ist nicht möglich: Read-only file system

sorry if im starting to be annoying, i have mainly used arch before but had no problems with nix untill with stylix

but how do i remove the file? i thought sudo rm -rf is the highest form of deleting a file possible

No, the ones in your home, that should get replaced by the links created by HM.
