faebl, your configuration is most likely using some configuration options that depend on `xsession.windowManager.command` being set.
<joesventek>
Have you tried setting that option to some valid value?
<joesventek>
(You could probably just enable some predefined windowManager as well)

@joesventek, i enabled i3that is apparently the problem as the enabling of i3 triggers the command option on being set..
<joesventek>
faebl, I just had a quick look at your config and I don't see i3 being enabled in your HM configuration.
<faebl>
is is enabled in the nix-configuration
<faebl>
would i need to enable it seperately for home-manager?
<joesventek>
Huh? Are we talking HM or nix config?
<joesventek>
If you want to configure i3 using HM you need to enable it in the HM configuration.
<faebl>
welll i3 in enabled in the nix config; probably not in the HM config as i assumed that HM would pick that up from the nixos config
<joesventek>
AFAIK this won't work.
<joesventek>
Also why would you want to split the configuration anyways?
<faebl>
I saw this in an example that i found on github when looking for example configs where the config was split
<faebl>
tba i didn't really question if that was necessary ^^
<joesventek>
I'm no expert in HM, but from what I can tell the HM modules are totally separate from the ones in nixpkgs.
<faebl>
oh ok; so the easier and cleaner way would be to rewrite and merge the os and HM config?
<joesventek>
Yeah, I guess you should probably decide whether you want to configure a piece of software using HM or the nixpkgs modules and stick with that decision for that part of your configuration.
<faebl>
ok thanks, I'll try that then and see if that works better; need to clean up the config anyway; there are just a couple of small things like dotfiles that i can't deploy properly using nixpkgs modules that i would need HM for

hey folks, is there a better way of getting the current hostname in home.nix than what i currently have, which is `lib.strings.fileContents /etc/hostname`?
