The shairport-sync service currently fails to start with the error
shairport avahi_entry_group_new failed
This problem seems to have been introduced by
cdd7310a50
After some trial and error I concluded that the attached commit is a minimal
fix.
Currently NixOS creates the swapfile (with the specified size) only if
it doesn't already exist. Changing the swapfile size afterwards will not
have any effect.
This commit changes that so the swapfile will be recreated whenever
swapDevices.*.size is changed (or more precisely, whenever the actual
file size differs from the configured one), allowing both growing and
shrinking the swapfile.
The service unit has "restartIfChanged = false", so we don't have to
worry about the swapfile being in use at the time this code is run (you
have to reboot for swapfile changes).
fallocate doesn't shrink files, use truncate for that. truncate can also
be used to grow files, but it creates "holes" in the file which doesn't
work with swapfiles.
':' is currently used as separator in /boot/grub/state for the list of
devices GRUB should be installed to. The problem is that ':' itself may
appear in a device path:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_20043512300546C0B317-0:0
With such a path, NixOS will install GRUB *every* time, because it
thinks the configuration differs from the state file (due to the wrong
list split). Fix it by using ',' as separator.
For existing systems with GRUB installed on multiple devices, this
change means that GRUB will be installed one extra time.
- init gnome-software for gnome3 at 3.18.3
- list gnome-software as an "optional package" for gnome3
- enable packagekit service when gnome3 is enabled
- currently pulled in from Git until the next release of PackageKit
has Nix support
- also: add in a service module to start packagekit properly
- nixos service can be enabled via services.packagekit.enable
- packagekit requires nixunstable to build properly

- RPi3 successfully gets to U-Boot, but then fails to boot the kernel
due to a missing device tree file. This should get added to the 4.8
kernel release once this patch is merged: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/1/841
- RPi2 is not tested, but it should successfully boot the NixOS image.
Instead of showing this output from "nixos-rebuild switch":
warning: not applying GID change of group ‘munin’
warning: not applying UID change of user ‘ntp’
print this:
warning: not applying GID change of group ‘munin’ (95 -> 102)
warning: not applying UID change of user ‘ntp’ (3 -> 179)
This makes it possible for users to take action and fixup the UIDs/GIDs
that NixOS won't touch.
Fixes issue when upgrading from very old NixOS systems that don't have

With this patch applied, the above warnings are not printed and the GUI
shows some devices that can be managed (my printer and display). Without
this patch the GUI is empty (non-functional).
(cups will also complain in the journal with a similar message when
doing print jobs, without this patch.)
The docstring for the `services.dbus.packages` configuration option only
mentioned one directory, but the implementation actually looked for DBus
config files in four separate places within the target packages. This
commit updates the docstring to reflect the actual implementation
behaviour.
stripHash uses a global variable to communicate it's computation
results, but it's not necessary. You can just pipe to stdout in a
subshell. A function mostly behaves like just another command.
baseHash() also introduces a suffix-stripping capability since it's
something the users of the function tend to use.
...by adding system-config-printer to services.dbus.packages (if
services.printing.enable is true).
Without this patch, trying to add a printer will result in a little dialog
saying "Failed to add new printer" and gnome-control-center will print this to
the terminal (line wrapped):
(gnome-control-center:3546): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: \
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: \
The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files
system-config-printer supplies the "org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing" dbus
service, thus fixing the problem.
The tests need to expand passed variable and very carefully.
I could see no other easy way than to change single-quoting in
makeWrapper to double-quoting.
The tests now fail with the same problem as on master...
wpa_supplicant fails to start if the wireless interfaces aren't ready yet,
so we need to add a system ordering directive here to start wpa_supplicant
after the interfaces are ready. Note that Requires= is not enough since
it does not imply ordering.
I've failed to figure out what why `paxtest blackhat` hangs the vm, and
have resigned to running individual `paxtest` programs. This provides
limited coverage, but at least verifies that some important features are
in fact working.
Ideas for future work includes a subtest for basic desktop
functionality.
This GID was used to exempt users from Grsecurity's
`/proc` restrictions; we now prefer to rely on
`security.hideProcessInformation`, which uses the `proc` group
for this purpose. That leaves no use for the grsecurity GID.
More generally, having only a single GID to, presumably, serve as the
default for all of grsecurity's GID based exemption/resriction schemes
would be problematic in any event, so if we decide to enable those
grsecurity features in the future, more specific GIDs should be added.
The new module is specifically adapted to the NixOS Grsecurity/PaX
kernel. The module declares the required kernel configurations and
so *should* be somewhat compatible with custom Grsecurity kernels.
The module exposes only a limited number of options, minimising the need
for user intervention beyond enabling the module. For experts,
Grsecurity/PaX behavior may be configured via `boot.kernelParams` and
`boot.kernel.sysctl`.
The module assumes the user knows what she's doing (esp. if she decides
to modify configuration values not directly exposed by the module).
Administration of Grsecurity's role based access control system is yet
to be implemented.
We need to use wrapped modprobe, so that it finds the right
modules. Docker needs modprobe to load overlay kernel module
for example.
This fixes an an error starting docker if the booted system's kernel
version is different from the /run/current-system profile's one.
The update-resolve-conf script from the update-resolv-conf
package is very useful and should work in most of the common
cases, so this adds an option to enable it. The option is
disabled by default for backwards compatibility.
So far the module only allowed for the ccid driver, but there are a lot
of other PCSC driver modules out there, so let's add an option called
"plugins", which boils down to a store path that links together all the
paths specified.
We don't need to create stuff in /var/lib/pcsc anymore, because we
patched pcsclite to allow setting PCSCLITE_HP_DROPDIR.
Another new option is readerConfig, which is especially useful for
non-USB readers that aren't autodetected.
The systemd service now is no longer Type=forking, because we're now
passing the -f (foreground) option to pcscd.
Tested against a YubiKey 4, SCR335 and a REINER SCT USB reader.

This was originally removed in d4d0e449d7.
The intent was not to maintain hydra expression at two places.
Nowadays we have enough devs to maintain this despite copy/pasta.
This should encourage more people to use Hydra, which is a really
great piece of software together with Nix.
Tested a deploy using https://github.com/peti/hydra-tutorial
IceWM is not part of KDE 5 and is now no longer part of the test. KDE 5
applications: Dolphin, System Monitor, and System Settings are started
in this test.

Since systemd version 230, it is required to have a machine-id file
prior to the startup of the container. If the file is empty, a transient
machine ID is generated by systemd-nspawn.
See systemd/systemd#3014 for more details on the matter.
This unbreaks all of the containers-* NixOS tests.

Closes: #15808
The primary motivation here is to get rid of builderDefs, but now the
resulting font directory is also linked into /run/current-system/sw,
which fixes#15194.
VBoxService needs dbus in order to work properly, which failed to start
up so far, because it was searching in /run/current-system/sw for its
configuration files.
We now no longer run with the --system flag but specify the
configuration file directly instead.
This fixes at least the "simple-gui" test and probably the others as
well, which I haven't tested yet.

We can't use waitForWindow here because it runs xwininfo as user root,
who in turn is not authorized to connect to the X server running as
alice.
So instead, we use xprop from user alice which should fix waiting for
the VirtualBox manager window.

The existence of $root/var/lib/private/host-notify as a socket
prevented a bind mount:
container foo[8083]: Failed to create mount point /var/lib/containers/foo/var/lib/private/host-notify: No such device or address
The VirtualBox tests so far ran the X server as root instead of user
"alice" and it did work, because we had access control turned off by
default.
Fortunately, it was changed in 1541fa351b.
As a side effect, it caused all the VirtualBox tests to fail because
they now can't connect to the X server, which is a good thing because
it's a bug of the VirtualBox tests.
So to fix it, let's just start the X server as user alice.

Regression introduced by d84741a4bf.
The mentioned commit actually is a good thing, because we now get the
output from the X session.
Unfortunately, for the i3wm test, the i3-config-wizard prints out the
raw keyboard symbols directly coming from xcb, so the output isn't
necessarily proper UTF-8.
As the XML::Writer already expects valid UTF-8 input, we assume that
everything that comes into sanitise() will be UTF-8 from the start. So
we just decode() it using FB_DEFAULT as the check argument so that
every invalid character is replaced by the unicode replacement
character:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character
We simply re-oncode it again afterwards and return it, so we should
always get out valid UTF-8 in the log XML.
For more information about FB_DEFAULT and FB_CROAK, have a look at:

This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
... rather than ~/.xsession-errors. It might make sense to make this
the default, in order to eliminate ad hoc, uncentralised, poorly
discoverable log files.
This ensures that "journalctl -u display-manager" does what you would
expect in 2016. However, the main reason is to ensure that our VM
tests show the output of the X server.
A slight problem is that with KDE user switching, messages from the
various X servers end up in the same place. However, that's an
improvement over the previous situation, where the second X server
would overwrite the /var/log/X.0.log of the first. (This was caused by
the fact that we were passing a hard-coded value for -logfile.)
For now, leave the old implementation under `man-old` attribute.
Small warning: I had a leftover ~/.nix-profile/man from an old package,
which caused man-db's man prefer it and ignore ~/.nix-profile/share/man.
The PATH->MANPATH code just selects the first match for each PATH item.
The motivation is using sudo in chroot nix builds, a somewhat
special edge case I have and pulling system path into chroot
yields to some very nasty bug like
