11:22 <rprospero> I'm having trouble getting the emacs-overlay to play well with home-manager

11:22 <rprospero> If I put the overlay in my overlays.nix file, I can install through nix-env just fine.

11:23 <rprospero> However, it seems to be stopping home-manager from loading even the most basic of configurations.

11:24 <rprospero> The error messages is always:

11:24 <rprospero> error: attribute 'override' missing, at /nix/store/6q45lvfdd7cafmg1m47yw70c2qhm3v00-source/default.nix:64:15

11:29 <rprospero> Obviously the hash isn't clear, but it's pointing to line 64 in the default.nix of the emacs-overlay

11:56 <alexarice[m]> rprospero: How are you using home-manager and the overlay as mine works fine using the nixos module and `nixpkgs.overlays = [ ... emacsOverlay ]` in my home-manager config

12:01 <rprospero> alexarice[m]: I have pretty much the same

12:01 <rprospero> alexarice[m]: nixpkgs.overlays = [(import (builtins.fetchTarball { url = "...";}))];

12:03 <alexarice[m]> which channel are you on?

12:07 <rprospero> 19.03

12:13 <alexarice[m]> I'm on unstable, I don't know if anyone is using the overlay on 19.03.

12:14 <alexarice[m]> I expect it may not work

12:14 <alexarice[m]> you might be able to pass in unstable emacsPackages to the overlay

12:15 <etu> Hmm

12:15 <etu> The overlay depends on things that was introduced in unstable before 19.09 was branched off

12:16 <rprospero> I'll give that a shot

12:16 <etu> Because I remember that some things in the overlay was delayed due to things that needed to be merged to master

12:34 <rprospero> So I've tried switching over to the unstable channel and I'm still running into the same issue.

12:35 <rprospero> However, I'm also suspicious that I have not actually made the switch, since running home-manager swtch created almost no derivations.

12:35 <alexarice[m]> rprospero: you likely need to upgrade channels

12:36 <rprospero> nix-channel --list confirms that I'm on nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

12:37 <rprospero> I've run a nix-channel --update, but there's still nothing new downloading

12:38 <alexarice[m]> rprospero: Are you changing channels on root or your user?

12:40 <alexarice[m]> I've always been confused by channels tbh

12:40 <rprospero> My own. The root's channels are still on 19.03

12:42 <alexarice[m]> I only ever got stuff to work by deleting all my user channels and having the root one as unstable though I'm sure there are better ways to do it

12:45 * etu never uses users channels

12:47 <rprospero> Well, there's part of my problem. home-manager uses the nixpkgs channel, not the nixos channel.

12:48 <rprospero> So now I'm redownloading the universe. Once that's done, I'll try running the overlay on unstable

13:07 <rprospero> Switching over to the unstable channel seems to have fixed the problem.

13:07 <rprospero> alexarice[m]: Thanks for your help.

13:07 <alexarice[m]> np
