would it be reasonable for homemanager to give a warning if someone sets user packages but does not enable them?
<pie_>
i dont think im going to work on a patch for that any time soon but it would have probably prevented my earlier foot shooting
<infinisil>
pie_: There's no problem with not setting that option
<infinisil>
It just controls *how* user packages are installed, not whether they're installed
<infinisil>
With it disabled it just uses nix-env to install them
<pie_>
you lost me
<pie_>
aha...
<pie_>
well, when i was using it without it enabled then i didnt have access to those packages anywhere
<pie_>
is this a matter of whether homemanager is used as a module?
<infinisil>
pie_: How did you determine that you didn't have access to the packages?
<pie_>
infinisil: this is my problem frome several days ago
<pie_>
infinisil: checking with nixos-option whether they were added to users.users.soemuser.packages, trying to run it from bash, trying to run it from bash after su -l, trying to run it after a reboot
<infinisil>
So the first one we explained why that wouldn't work
<infinisil>
But the others should've worked
<infinisil>
You can check with `nix-env -q` to see whether there's a home-manager package
<infinisil>
Which aggregates all installed packages together
<pie_>
ill have to check later, but ill try to remember
hpfr has joined #home-manager
<hpfr>
my fontconfig doesn't seem to be working anymore. I have fonts.fontconfig.enable set to true in home.ni
<hpfr>
it's using the nixos defaults instead of what I have set in my .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<hpfr>
is there something I could have changed that might have broken this? I haven't changed anything recently, it seemed to break after updating my nix channels
