https://discourse.nixos.org/t/home-manager-no-home-nix-and-do-not-have-home-manager-command/31156/5
https://github.com/TLATER/dotfiles/blob/e2432f2928ed2462852416dd54068f8c0c45dc6d/flake.nix#L92

But, my local behavior looks like the build is done, but not refresh the symlinks...

kachick · 2024-09-16T20:08:06Z

Ah, I have faced similar issue again. Then looked same command in both /home/kachick/.nix-profile and /etc/profiles/per-user/kachick

Since uninstalling home-manager with nix run home-manager/release-24.05 -- uninstall and re-apply with sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#moss --show-trace looks fixed. Now cmds are only in /etc/profiles/per-user/kachick

💭 I would keep useUserPackages = true; to respect home-manager manual, written as it might be default...

kachick · 2024-09-17T05:21:44Z

Same as in algae and it blocked by existing files
I manually removed them and fixed.

Now packages will be updated in nixos-rebuild, but files are not. Might be related to nix-community/home-manager#5519

So uninstall home-manager as standalone version and rebuild nixos at everytime is the only one of the solution... 🙄

Have you read https://ayats.org/blog/no-home-manager, seems like you might find it relevant.
I read it but didn't find any solution inside it.

kachick · 2024-09-17T10:04:38Z

Thank you for sharing! This post sounds interesting...
Hmm, but if dropping home-manager, I also need another solution 🤔
To sync dotfiles for each app, and using nix store absolute path in it...

nix-community/home-manager#5495 much helps to check collisions than now, but it is not all for my case...

If no collisions, systemctl status "home-manager-$USER.service" displays correct /nix/store/...-home-manager-generation, but actually not applied the xdg file managers like nix-community/home-manager#5519
