I just did a somewhat-delayed NixOS update. I'm getting an error when I try to home-manager switch:
<judson>
error: file 'home-manager/home-manager/home-manager.nix' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

hello, i'm having trouble getting home-manager installed. i'm getting error: opening lock file '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/profile.lock': Permission denied. my user is an allowed user
<matt`>
this is from running: nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
<romanofski>
matt`: is this on NixOS or some other distro
<matt`>
nixos
<romanofski>
oh hang on... you install it as the user root?
<matt`>
no i'm trying to install it as a normal user. i originally did install it accidentally as root then uninstalled it
<romanofski>
hm... I would try to figure out why it still accesses the root profile
<romanofski>
not using sudo or anything?
<matt`>
correct
<romanofski>
yeah that is odd
<romanofski>
if there is nothing which tells you what is happening... strace might help
<romanofski>
although .. I thought there was a '--trace' option
<matt`>
is there a chance it's a problem with nix_path? i set the system wide value to include my normal user channel when I was first installing this, then removed it
<matt`>
i just checked though and my user channel path is not in the root path
<matt`>
so it seems fine
