Introduction

This document summarizes the steps taken to configure Home Manager on NixOS, manage Doom Emacs, and solve various issues encountered during the setup.

Setup and Configuration

• Edited home.nix to include necessary packages and configurations.
• Configured paths for Emacs and Doom Emacs.
• Added Konsole theme configuration.

Dealing with Permissions

• Adjusted permissions for the ~/.local/share/doom/state/logs directory:

  sudo chown -R rob:users ~/.local/share/doom/state/logs
  sudo chmod -R u+w ~/.local/share/doom/state/logs
      

Managing Doom Emacs

• Added Doom Emacs configurations to home.nix.
• Created custom activation script for Doom sync:

  home.activation.doom_sync = lib.mkAfter ''
    if [ -x ${config.home.homeDirectory}/.emacs.d/bin/doom ]; then
      export PATH=${config.home.homeDirectory}/.nix-profile/bin:$PATH
      ${config.home.homeDirectory}/.emacs.d/bin/doom sync
    fi
  '';
      

Konsole Theme

• Ensured the Dracula Konsole theme was properly referenced in home.nix:

  home.file.".local/share/konsole/Dracula.colorscheme".source = ./themes/konsole/Dracula.colorscheme;
      

• Resolved issues with adding the theme to the repository:

  git rm -rf --cached .themes/konsole
