cosmic-settings-daemon.service not found.

To solve an issue, I've been advised to make sure cosmic-settings-daemon is running. Unfortunately :

:~$ sudo systemctl | grep daemon

cosmic-settings-daemon is not a system service and runs as your own user. But it also has no systemd user unit either because cosmic-session starts and manages its lifetime itself

Given that it says "NameTaken" it almost certainly is already running

Ok thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Do you have any idea how to solve https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/976

Should I change something to my specialisation.nix file for example?

  # Enable the X11 windowing system.
  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    displayManager.gdm.enable = lib.mkDefault true;
    desktopManager.gnome.enable = lib.mkDefault true;
  };

  specialisation = {
    gnome.configuration = {
      services.xserver = {
        desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
        displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
      };
      system.nixos.tags = [ "Budgie" ];
    };

    cosmic.configuration = {
      # Cosmic conflicts with gnome
      services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = false;
      services.desktopManager.cosmic.enable = true;
        # Cosmic requires cosmic-greeter
      services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = false;
      services.displayManager.cosmic-greeter.enable = true;

      environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
        loupe
        cosmic-calculator
        cosmic-forecast
        networkmanagerapplet
        gnome.networkmanager-openvpn
        quick-webapps
      ];

      services.flatpak.enable = true;
      systemd.services.flatpak-repo = {
        wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
        path = [ pkgs.flatpak ];
        script = ''
          flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
        '';
      };

      systemd.user.extraConfig = ''DefaultEnvironment="PATH=/run/wrappers/bin:/etc/profiles/per-user/%u/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/run/current-system/sw/bin"'';

      system.nixos.tags = [ "Cosmic" ];
    };
  };

Hmm, open a new issue here about GTK theming and I'll look when I get a chance. I'll also add wifi applets when I'm at my laptop again I guess?
