Description
Using the Nixos module programs.hyprland.enable = true works fine (what I am using to create this issue.
However, when I go into my home manager (stand alone) install, and change wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = false to true, Hyprland does not start.
(I marked this not as a regression because it is my first time setting up Hyprland in this manner)
How to reproduce
Enable NixOS hyprland module. Install home-manager standalone Enable hyprland through home-manager.
Crash reports, logs, images, videos
I've poked at this a bit more. I have found that using the flake version of hyprland (at the system level) even when not using the home-manager configuration, results in a similar crash at startup.
I poked around fufexan's config to see if there was something I was simply missing, but I wasn't able to get it to work unfortunately.
Do you have the flake package set in both NixOS and HM modules?
The config I mentioned about was having the flake at the system level and then not having any hyprland config in HM. I have also tried using the flake version in both of them with the same issue.

Little follow up for clarity
| Used in System | Used in HM | Status |
|---|---|---|
| nixpkgs | Works | |
| flake | Startup Crash | |
| nixpkgs | nixpkgs | Startup Crash |
| flake | flake | Startup Crash |
I finally got around to setting up ssh on the new machine. Here are my current working configs: https://github.com/EliSauder/nix-system-config/ https://github.com/EliSauder/dotfiles
Looking at your flake.lock you seem to have a very old version of Nixpkgs (from somewhere in july). This causes a mesa mismatch, as Hyprland is built with a newer mesa version than what the system has, and cannot start.
The fix is a simple nix flake update.
Oh that is a derp moment from me. Thank you, that explains why updating channels wasn't doing what I thought it should. Sorry for taking your time for such a silly mistake.
I have gone ahead and validated that everything works as expected now.
At least your question and responses helped me with the exact same problem :smile:
