Hi all;

This is a bit of a long shot; but I'm having an issue with trying to modularize my config in preparation for a new laptop.

In particular the issue I have is around passing a path through to an import statement for a home-managed user.

In particular I'm getting undefinedVariable hmPath; but it doesn't seem to be having the same issue when I'm mapping groups and shell; so I can only assume that imports has to be treated differently but I'm at a loss.

Any help on what I've misunderstood would be greatly appreciated.

Snippet below

``` { pkgs, config, options, lib, home-manager, ... }:

with lib; let cfg = config.ltp.home;

user = types.submodule ({name, ...}: { options = { doas.enable = mkEnableOption { default = false; type = types.bool; };

groups = mkOption { default = []; type = types.listOf string; };

shell = mkOption { default = pkgs.bash; type = types.package; };

hmPath = mkOption { type = types.path; }; }; }); in { options.ltp.home = { users = mkOption { description = Attrset of home-manager users; default = {}; type = types.attrsOf user; }; };

config = mkIf (cfg.users != {}) (mkMerge [ { users.users = let mkUser = lib.attrsets.mapAttrs' ( name: value: lib.attrsets.nameValuePair "${builtins.baseNameOf name}" { isNormalUser = true; extraGroups = "${groups}"; shell = "${shell}"; } ) cfg.users; in mkUser;

home-manager.users = let mkHmUser = lib.attrsets.mapAttrs' ( name: value: lib.attrsets.nameValuePair "${builtins.baseNameOf name}" { imports = [ "${hmPath}" ]; } ) cfg.users; in mkHmUser; } ]); } ```

Edit...

Solved the initial issue I was confusing myself and should've been using value.hmPath and equivalent inside the lib functions.

Next issue; I'm having is I can't seem to pass through the path for the home-manager module for the user that is give to the import statement.

Edit 2...

I didn't manage to get it working how I was doing it so I've changed my approach; to implicitly reference the users home-manager base module based on the folder structure e.g. ./hosts/${hostname}/users/${builtins.baseNameOf name}

Hi all,

For my sins I've been attempting to build my nix configuration on my build server and subsequently push it into a binary cache.

I'm having an issue where the build is currently failing with the following error

> error: home directory '/homeless-shelter' exists; please remove it to assure purity of builds without sandboxing

The build is being run on a docker image node:20-bullseye to be precise with the following command.

> nix build .#nixosConfigurations.${{ matrix.machine.host }}.config.system.build.toplevel

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Edit.

Should have mentioned I've ran up the image with docker run and the directory didn't exist

Edit 2.

This is also about 23 minutes into the build when it throws this error; after having built a lot of packages and derivations already. I'm also using cachix/nix-install-action to get nix on the running container.

Edit 3.

Finally got it building this morning, I haven't dug into it but switching from the cachix/nix-install-action to manually installing the determinate systems nix installer (action didn't work for a strange reason).

Hi all,

It's been about 8 years since I've treated myself to some new monitors, so I'm a bit out the loop where to comes to what is currently available.

I'm a software developer, so 95% of the time will be spent developing with a small amount of time gaming.

I currently have a pair of Dell U2515H.

Specs I would love

Minimum QHD resolution, Single cable solution (power, display and data over single cable) Matte display Minimum 25"

Bonus >60Hz display VESA mount

Not sold on whether to go for duel screen again or ultrawide

Budget is fairly flexible preferably under £1000 for a pair though.

Looking forward to seeing what people recommend.

If this is the wrong community then my apologies I couldn't see a monitor community.

Edit,

Thank you all for your replies, I'm currently looking at the dell u3223qe which ticks a lot of the boxes, was also considering one if the lg ultrafine models, but the usb hub + KVM is really selling me on the dell.

So while I keep looking for a little longer to make sure I haven't missed anything, I think I'm going to end up with the dell (again)
