00:56 <ElQuique> Hi! I hope this is the proper place to ask this. I'm trying to use home-manager to configure the less pager. I couldn't find an option related to this in the options (`man home-configuration.nix`). But I did found it in the NixOS options (https://search.nixos.org/options?query=less&from=0&size=15&sort=relevance&channel=20.03). How can I use this on

00:56 <ElQuique> my `home.nix` config file?

11:26 <ohhaimark[m]> Can someone help tell me what I am doing wrong here

11:26 <ohhaimark[m]> home-manager stacktrace: https://pastebin.com/VFTTEmET

11:26 <ohhaimark[m]> the dotfiles: https://github.com/badly-drawn-wizards/dotfiles

11:28 * ohhaimark[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/eYcoNIesSFXGigIoQHKQisNh/message.txt >

11:28 <NobbZ[m]> ElQuique: You can not use nixOS modules in home manager.

11:28 <ohhaimark[m]> Oh, I see.

11:28 <ohhaimark[m]> Thanks.

11:30 <NobbZ[m]> ohhaimark:

11:31 <NobbZ[m]> * ohhaimark: Sorry, I can't see anything obvious in your stack traces that would point me to any of your files. Can't help you

11:33 <ohhaimark[m]> Oh, whoops, I didn't see that you weren't replying to me initially. Thanks anyway.

11:33 ElQuique has joined #home-manager

11:35 <NobbZ[m]> Though it seems to be related to sway somehow.

11:39 <NobbZ[m]> To be more exact, it seems to happen when it tries to evaluate what it shall write to the autostart it seems

11:39 <ElQuique> Thanks NobbZ! So everything under search.nixos.org/options is a module?

11:40 <NobbZ[m]> Try commenting these lines: https://github.com/badly-drawn-wizards/dotfiles/blob/master/nixpkgs/home-manager/window-manager.nix#L109-L113

11:40 <NobbZ[m]> Does your config build then?

11:40 <NobbZ[m]> ElQuique: Everything listed there is an option, which gets defined through modules.

11:41 <ohhaimark[m]> NobbZ: yeah, it builds.

11:41 <NobbZ[m]> nixOS has modules that can be used in the `configuration.nix`, home-manager provides a separate set of modules that can be used in `home.nix`. NixOS modules are mostly targeted at system configuration while HMs are targeted to user space configuration.

11:42 <NobbZ[m]> ohhaimark: Then you need to find out what exactly wents wrong in creating that. I do not use sway, not i3. Therefore I'm probably not of any more help for you.

11:48 <ohhaimark[m]> @NobbZ Yeah, It looks like this is more of a nix types and submodule issue then a i3/sway issue, but thanks for getting me this far.

11:52 quinn has quit [Quit: ZNC 1.8.1 - https://znc.in]

11:52 <NobbZ[m]> your `window-manager.startupPrograms` what kind of data do you throw in there?

11:52 <NobbZ[m]> Where do you add values to it?

11:54 <ohhaimark[m]> List of strings. I set it in `default.nix` and `xresources.nix`.

11:55 <ohhaimark[m]> But even when I comment out it all, it gives the same error.

11:58 <NobbZ[m]> I'm not sure if you want `window-manager` to be a `submodule`, IIRC that means that you can do `window-manager.<name>.startupPrograms`, you probably want to have `window-manager.startupPrograms = { type = listOf string; };`

12:01 <ohhaimark[m]> @NobbZ It appears that that was it. Thank you.
