assigning home-mananager = builtins… and import … lets me build it but when I add in the
" home-manager.users.my_username = { … }" I can’t build anymore because I get the error:
error: value is a set while a Boolean was expected
at /nix/store/6jnjqzbjp65hyrf48wyv7mff57wdl6jv-source/nixos/default.nix:24:37:
23| # fontconfig by default.
24| fonts.fontconfig.enable = lib.mkDefault cfg.useUserPackages
| ^
25| && config.fonts.fontconfig.enable;
So lib.mkDefault cfg.useUserPackages returnes a set instead of a bool ? the trace is super long and unhelpful does anybody have an idea what could be wrong ?
my configuration.nix :
it builds as long as the “custom stuff” is commented out…

The fix got merged, I just tested the latest version and it worked for me so you can switch back safely if you’d like.
With home manager it’s best to line up your versions with whichever channel of nixpkgs you’re following, since the reasese was just a short time ago 22.05 will work with nixos-unstable, and nixos-22.05, but they may diverge at some point.
