After installation how can i chainge config like language , keyboard layout ,and how can i install more app like spotify.

Frost-Phoenix commented 3 months ago

Hi,

After the installation is complete you will have to edit some files to change the config.

To change the language / time zone you need to edit lines 29 - 30 of ./modules/core/system.nix:

29   │   time.timeZone = "Europe/Paris";
30   │   i18n.defaultLocale = "en_US.UTF-8";

To add a program you can add it to the packages list in ./modules/home/packages.nix:

home.packages = (with pkgs; [
    ...
     spotify
    ...
]);

If you are not sure if a program is available or to find the correct name you can search it on https://search.nixos.org/packages.

And after you have done your modifications you need to use the nix-switch command (which is actually an alias that you can find in ./modules/home/zsh.nix), but this command will only work if you have clone the repo to your home directory.

Hope this can help you, if you need some more specific help you can contact me on discord (https://discord.com/users/593456700045000704) if you want or continue posting here :).

I have clone repo to user dir.

And I have edit my files like that: ./modules/home/packages.nix


   3   │   home.packages = (with pkgs; [
   4 + │     bitwarden-desktop
   5 + │     spotify
                  ....

./modules/core/system.nix

  29 ~ │   time.timeZone = "Europe/Warsaw";
  30 ~ │   i18n.defaultLocale = "pl_PL.UTF-8";

and after nix-switch i get

I fixed it, but after the conversion I don't have Polish characters on the keyboard

Frost-Phoenix commented 3 months ago

Sorry for the long response delay, I just found out how to do it. You need to edit two file and replace the fr with pl I believe for Polish keyboard:

First ./modules/core/xserver.nix:

   4   │     xserver = {
   5   │       enable = true;
   6   │       xkb.layout = "us,fr";
   7   │     };

And ./modules/home/hyprland/config.nix:

  23   │       input = {
  24   │         kb_layout = "us,fr";

With that you will be able to switch between us and plkeyboards by pressing alt+shift. And if you just want the Polish one you can remove the us, in both file altogether.

I hope this will help you.

Dodo5393 commented 3 months ago

Practically, I have a Polish layout on the keyboard:

  ➜ setxkbmap -query   

WARNING: Running setxkbmap against an Xwayland server
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     pl

but technically I can't use the Polish character like ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż, ł by adding alt to the letter.

thanks, now everything works properly. I really love this config, great job
