Help

I’m using home-manager and installed flameshot and dunst and also enable their services. However they are broken…

Here I define flameshot: https://github.com/Mdsp9070/dotfiles/blob/77b64f46d84210f1fb0eb8ee1796d7334a4d9445/nixos/home/home.nix#L30

And here dunst: https://github.com/Mdsp9070/dotfiles/blob/77b64f46d84210f1fb0eb8ee1796d7334a4d9445/nixos/home/dunst.nix

Any bets?

Maybe those services are starting before xorg? But do not make sense at all!

Here’s my config: GitHub - zoedsoupe/nixnad: Config files to set up a Software development workstation!

I don’t know how to help except by saying i3+dunst with home-manager works for me in 20.09. Have you tried rebooting?

4

Yeah! I tried to rebbot, "re"enable services and also restart, no success…

If I install flameshot as a standalone app it works fine!

I’m using Xmonad but I don’t think that it is a problem

Try executing your window manager or the desktop environment with dbus-launch
For example: in .xinitrc,use exec dbus-launch dwm
