Can I pin home-manager with niv? How do I do that?
malSet has quit [Quit: Quit.]
<immae>
ohhaimark[m]: the only way I could find was to define NIX_PATH like that: NIX_PATH=home-manager=$(cat .../sources.json | jq -r ".home-manager.url") (and similar for nixpkgs if you want to pin it too)
<immae>
(and you need to put that as precommand in your shell if you want it to be kept always up to date)
<ohhaimark[m]>
immae: Thanks
<ohhaimark[m]>
immae: ^
<immae>
You’re welcome, maybe someone else had a better idea to share :)

I do this pinning with Niv, but I use the nixos module. Let me dig it up.
<benkolera>
Lol I hate that riot doesn't include the line number target in that url. Lol.
<benkolera>
The thisPath stuff you likely don't need. That's probably just some shittiness because I evaluate that config via IFD.
<benkolera>
I recommend using the nixos module once you are familiar with nix and home manager. It's so nice to have your whole system config in one declarative reproducible thing. The only thing that's annoying here is that I don't pin my nixos nixpkgs. I want to, but last time I tried things got weird. NixOS seems to really want that nixpkgs channel on the nix-path and things get weird when you go messing with that, lol.
<benkolera>
Probably pebcak and not trying hard enough though. Ideally I'd want nixpkgs to be fully pinned too so it was just a niv update to bump everything at once.

greetings
<tudorr>
is there a way to let home-manager manage the configs for some programs without installing the programs?
<tudorr>
like if i have `programs.<someting>.enable = true`, home-manager will manage its configuration but it won't pull the program itself from the nix store, it is my responsibility to have it installed
<DamienCassou>
tudorr: it's not. Modules are usually written in a way that nothing is done if enable is false. *But*, you may usually be able to tell home-manager which package to install.
<tudorr>
well i want to have enable set to true but no package installed
<tudorr>
such as if i already have a system installed terminal, i want home-manager to write its config file but not download it
<DamienCassou>
tudorr: please try to force set `home.packages` to an empty array:
<DamienCassou>
home.packages = lib.mkForce [];
<DamienCassou>
I don't know if this will work
<DamienCassou>
may I ask you why you would like to prevent home-manager from downloading packages?
<DamienCassou>
I have no clue what would be the impact of the line above by the way
<immae>
It will disable any package installed via home-manager, which might not be what you want
<immae>
To handle the programs.<something> case the said module would have to have an option addToPackage = true/false if you want to achieve the goal without breaking everything

@dashy Thanks. I guess I want to get nixpkgs pinning done too, but for now a script to niv update and nix-channel update at the same time will have to do.

dashy: What is home-manager.users.USER = ...? Or rather where can I find info on the nixos module?
<tudorr>
DamienCassou: i want to prevent home-manager from downloading _some_ packages, mostly graphical programs
<ohhaimark[m]>
Sorry, I'm very new to NixOS and sort of winging it currently.
<tudorr>
because i don't use nixos and graphical programs need some special treatment like setting FONTCONFIG_FILE, and LD_* vars for opengl and vulkan stuff
<ohhaimark[m]>
@dashy ah, I see.
<ohhaimark[m]>
* dashy: ah, I see.

The function that you drop into that entry is exactly the same as the config you have for the standalone home manager.
<benkolera>
Like if you do what I did and just import it in place to your old conf, that ought to work.
<ohhaimark[m]>
Does that mean I do a nixos-rebuild instead of home-manager switch?
<benkolera>
Yup.
<benkolera>
You don't need the home manager channel or the standalone binary anymore then.
<ohhaimark[m]>
Yay.
<ohhaimark[m]>
If I have package overrides in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, I must move it into the nixos-configuration, right?
<ohhaimark[m]>
I still need to learn how the module system works.
<benkolera>
Yeah.
<tudorr>
how can i make the contents of programs.bash.initExtra go in .bashrc after sourcing the nix-related files?
<eyJhb>
Any systemd gurus available? rycee ? :p

eyJhb: what is your question?
<DamienCassou>
tudorr: can you please show us the content of your .bashrc and the relevant home-manager configuration?
<tudorr>
i no longer need the bash thing, it was a bad idea
<tudorr>
i have another problem now though, i want to make a program (emacsUnstable) run with FONTCONFIG_FILE set to a specific value
<tudorr>
and i get `attribute 'platforms' missing, at /nix/store/2y4ah1zccghvbphbhwl79vrm4li9bz1k-nixpkgs-20.09pre228333.1ae28ebfdb7/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/emacs/generic.nix:22:17`

<hpfr[m]>
home-manager writes `bindsym—to-code Mod4+q kill` to my sway config but it doesn’t work?
<hpfr[m]>
* bindsym --to-code
<hpfr[m]>
`swaymsg kill` from terminal works
<hpfr[m]>
So that’s weird
<hpfr[m]>
Never mind didn’t rebuild
<DamienCassou>
tudorr: I don't see anything in this pastbin. Can you please try another service?
<DamienCassou>
tudorr: I don't know. Have you tried with the Emacs provided by nixpkgs? Maybe the overlay is buggy?
malSet has joined #home-manager
<eyJhb>
DamienCassou: need to start a systemd service in HomeManager after network is available
<eyJhb>
Or, have Systemd actually retry when it fails to start. Just need to change some configs before I can pastebin the code

DamienCassou: if i use emacsUnstable directly it works.. but i will try with stable emacs too

doesn't work with pkgs.emacs either

I have a bunch of duplicated i3 and sway config but I can’t figure out how to use inherit or import to modularize it, any tips
<energizer>
post it hpfr[m]
<hpfr[m]>
energizer: I can’t right now but I just want to define a bunch of the config options in a `common.nix` and include them in both my i3 and sway configs without having to write inherit for every single option
<energizer>
hpfr[m]: sure, use `import`
<hpfr[m]>
Yeah I reread import and it makes sense now
<hpfr[m]>
energizer: And then just `//` with the specific i3 and sway stuff I’m guessing
<energizer>
yes
