please clean up formatting of your messages it is too difficult to read as you have posted
Yeah so system-manager needs root permissions, as the error says. This is normal, since it will be managing system-level config, which is all owned by root.
Did you try running it with sudo for instance?

Yeah I'd try with: 'sudo nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.''
It returns 'sudo: nix: command not found'
sounds like an Ubuntu issue: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/83191/how-to-make-sudo-preserve-path

Im gonna be trying with this instead then: '$ sudo /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.''
Thats what i got after running '$ which nix'
Lets see
So this time i got a different error
`haerin@orangepizero3:~/.config/home-manager$ sudo /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.' warning: input 'rust-overlay' has an override for a non-existent input 'flake-utils' [2024-06-26T22:23:24Z INFO system_manager::register] Trying flake URI: .#systemConfigs.orangepizero3... error: … while fetching the input 'git+file:///home/haerin/.config/home-manager'

This seems to also have to do with your PATH
variable, I think that this is nix who expects git
to be provided by the system.
One way to get around this, would be to launch a root shell, and then get a nix shell with everything that nix and system-manager need:
sudo -i
nix-shell -p nix git
But I also think that something is quite broken in your system's setup, I don't think that this is how sudo
is usually configured.
A) Describe the bug Im following the installaton guide, I have added it to my flake, and added the default.nix. And then running it with the command shown:
nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.'
But I get
haerin@orangepizero3:~/.config/home-manager$ nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.' warning: input 'rust-overlay' has an override for a non-existent input 'flake-utils' [2024-06-26T18:43:36Z INFO system_manager::register] Trying flake URI: .#systemConfigs.orangepizero3... warning: Git tree '/home/haerin/.config/home-manager' is dirty [2024-06-26T18:43:37Z INFO system_manager::register] Attribute .#systemConfigs.orangepizero3 not found in flake.

What stands to me its the last bit
ERROR system_manager] We need root permissions.
B) To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
`{ description = "Home Manager configuration of haerin";
inputs = {
Specify the source of Home Manager and Nixpkgs.
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, nvchad-config, system-manager,... }: let system = "aarch64-linux"; pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; in {
} `
`{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{ config = { system-manager.allowAnyDistro = true; nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "aarch64-linux";
}; } `
C) Expected behavior
To run with no errors, and let me use system-manager to manage services like docker.
D) System information
OS: Armbian (24.8.0-trunk.36) aarch64 ####### Host: OrangePi Zero3 ########### Kernel: 6.6.31-current-sunxi64
E) Additional context
I do have root access but trying
sudo nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.'
wont workhaerin@orangepizero3:~/.config/home-manager$ sudo nix run 'github:numtide/system-manager' -- switch --flake '.' sudo: nix: command not found
