Nova Troubleshooting Checklist

Terminal window
yzx doctor
Terminal window
type yzx
command -v yzx

The command should resolve to your Nix profile or Home Manager owner path, not an old ~/.local/bin/yzx wrapper or shell function.

Terminal window
nix profile upgrade --refresh yazelix

Home Manager users update their declared input and run the normal switch.

Terminal window
yzx config

The optional root file is ~/.config/yazelix/config.toml. Back it up before manual recovery. Ratconfig exposes invalid fields and exact native-file actions.

Do not manually edit:

~/.local/share/yazelix

Relaunch Nova after fixing the owning input. Open sessions keep their existing package and next-session settings.

Useful issue details:

  • OS and architecture
  • install owner: Nix profile, Home Manager, or one-off nix run
  • yzx --version
  • yzx doctor
  • yzx status or yzx status --json
  • exact command output
  • whether the problem reproduces in a fresh yzx enter session
