New thin laptops don't have an ethernet port and so rely on wifi to get
access. With the minimal installer, setup wpa_supplicant can be hard if
it is the first time so here we provide an example.
Currently, even if you pass supportedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ] you
end up with e.g. `nixos.tests.docker` which actually silently runs on
x86_64-linux. Using the new callTestOnTheseSystems fixes that.
As a side-effect, this also causes a rename of
`nixos.tests.docker` -> `nixos.tests.docker.x86_64-linux`, which is IMHO
a good thing since it's makes them consistent with the rest of the
tests.
The default cache directory set by oh-my-zsh is $ohMyZsh/cache which
lives in the Nix store in our case. This causes issues with several
completion plugins provided by oh-my-zsh.
Currently, even if you pass `supportedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ]` you
end up with e.g. `nixos.iso_graphical.x86_64-linux` job. Using
forTheseSystems from release-lib avoids that.
This shouldn't affect the usual x86 trunk-combined jobset.
This was only applicable to very specific hardware, and the only person
with an apparent interest in maintaining it (me) no longer uses the
hardware in question.
When a domain has a lot of subdomains, it is quite easy to hit the rate limit:
https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
Instead you can define the certificate manually in `security.acme.certs` and list the subdomains in the `extraDomains` option.
sg and newgrp only changes the current user session and should be
available to users even if the "users.mutableUsers" option is set.
These are common, useful commands.
chfn does modify the /etc/passwd GECOS field which is also controlled
by the option "users.users.<name?>.description", so it's less
appropriate to make it available when "users.mutableUsers" is set.
However, because CHFN_RESTRICT in login.defs is never set in current
NixOS the chfn functionality is never available to users anyway and
may as well have its SUID disabled, as only root is able to use it.
This is recommended in the chfn man page in this case.
This makes memoization of Nixpkgs evaluation less effective, since
some Nixpkgs invocations may have 'config = {}' while others may have
'config = { xorg = {}; }'.
Instead set 'config = {}'.
This reverts commit 45c5a915980fbe1fa6f0ff80ab2d11b60b844d9e.
This breaks PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames on systems without networkd.
We should only include this file from systemd, when networkd is enabled.
in read-only way. If the cache directory is empty and you use the
very same service for system's DNS, kresd is unable to bootstrap root
trust anchors, as it would need a DNS lookup.
Also, if we don't rely on bootstrap, the extra lua deps of kresd could
be dropped by default, but let's not do that now, as the difference in
closure size is only ~4 MB, and there may be other use cases than
running the package as nixos service this way.
mate-control-center depends on mate-settings-daemon, but the later needs
gsettings schemas provided by the former. To fix this the gsettings schema
path from mate-control-center is added to XDG_DATA_DIRS at session
startup.
Udev changed its internal naming, so this rule file no longer applied correctly.
Therefore some properties such as network driver no longer matched in
systemd-networkd.
After updating we have more properties in systemd-networkd:
$ sudo networkctl status wlp3s0
...
Driver: iwlwifi
...
To prevent this in future, the file is no copied from systemd directly
The unnecessary dependency of sockets.target on kresd.service causes a
dependency cycle preventing kresd.service from starting at boot:
sockets.target -> kresd.service -> basic.target -> sockets.target
This allows to configure additional configuration files for Synapse. This way
secrets can be kept in a secure place on the file system without a need to go
through the Nix store.
"Ejecting" from the Finder ejects the entire device which is then not available for dd. diskutil unmountDisk does the right thing. Furthermore writing to diskN instead of rdiskN failed to complete even after waiting >10 minutes.
To make the configuration of `yabar` more pleasant and easier to
validate, a NixOS module will be quite helpful.
An example config could look like this:
```
{
programs.yabar = {
enable = true;
bars.top.indicators.exec = "YA_DATE";
};
}
```
The module adds a user-controlled systemd service which runs `yabar` after
starting up X.
before:
- /var/run/memcached is a bad default for a socket path, since its
parent directory must be writeable by memcached.
- Socket directory was not created by the module itself -> this was
left as a burden to the user?
- Having a static uid with a dynamic user name is not very useful.
after:
- Replace services.memcached.socket by a boolean flag. This simplifies
our code, since we do not have to check if the user specifies a
path with a parent directory that should be owned by memcached
(/run/memcached/memcached.sock -> /run/memcached).
- Remove fixed uid/gid allocation. The only file ever owned by the
daemon is the socket that will be recreated on every start.
Therefore user and group ids do not need to be static.
- only create the memcached user, if the user has not specified a
different one. The major use case for changing option is to allow
existing services (such as php-fpm) opening the local unix socket.
If we would unconditionally create a user that option would be
useless.
apps.plugin requires capabilities for full process monitoring. with
1.9.0, netdata allows multiple directories to search for plugins and the
setuid directory can be specified here.
the module is backwards compatible with older configs. a test is
included that verifies data gathering for the elevated privileges. one
additional attribute is added to make configuration more generic than
including configuration in string form.
It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```
Instead of polluting the environment with environment variables which
are inherited by processes spawned from awesome, use the command line
argument "--search" to add things to the search path.

This enables znapzend users to specify its full configuration through
NixOS options, without ever needing to use the stateful `znapzendzetup`
command.
This works by running znapzendzetup with the specified config in
ExecPre, just before the znapzend daemon is started.
There is also the `pure` option which will clear all previous znapzend setups,
making it as stateless as can get, as only the setup declared in
configuration.nix will be persisted.

This makes the commonHook option work also for (read-only) Nix store
paths. Currently it fails on the second activation, because the
destination is read-only.
Currently libvirt requires two qemu derivations: qemu and qemu_kvm which is just a truncated version of qemu (defined as qemu.override { hostCpuOnly = true; }).
This patch exposes an option virtualisation.libvirtd.qemuPackage which allows to choose which package to use:
* pkgs.qemu_kvm if all your guests have the same CPU as host, or
* pkgs.qemu which allows to emulate alien architectures (for example ARMV7L on X86_64), or
* a custom derivation
virtualisation.libvirtd.enableKVM option is vague and could be deprecate in favor of virtualisation.libvirtd.qemuPackage, anyway it does allow to enable/disable kvm.

feh is used to set background image for desktop managers that do not
support it directly, however there is no need to include it in PATH.
Fixes#17450.
Users were confused that the error message said config.networking.hostId, and indeed that did nothing to fix their problem.
Update the error message to specify the option they should actually set.
Now there are separate `xfce4.xfce4mixer_pulse` and `xfce4.xfcevolumed_pulse` attributes for PulseAudio versions of these packages, instead of relying on Nixpkgs option. Mind that xfce4-volumed and xfce4-volumed-pulse are actually two separate programs without much overlap.
Fakeroot seems to always give the owner write bit to any files touched
inside it (presumably to easily simulate the fact that root can still
modify such files). So do an explicit chmod to remove them.
This should finally solve #32242 after the EC2 images are regenerated
with this change.

Without this, when you've enabled networkmanager and start a
nixos-container the container will briefly have its specified IP
address but then networkmanager starts managing it causing the IP
address to be dropped.
* Add options:
- enable
- davUser (default: "davfs2")
- davGroup (default: "davfs2)
* Add davfs2 user or group if they are not specified in the

bash will load completion scripts in $p/share/bash-completion/completions/ on
startup instead of letting bash-completion do it's lazy loading. Bash startup
will then slow down (very noticeable when bash-completion is installed in a
profile).
This commit leaves loading of scripts in the hands of bash-completion,
improving startup time for everyone using `enableCompletion`.

In commit ec9dc73 restarting NetworkManager after resume from
suspend/hibernate was introduced.
When I initially switch to NixOS I started noticing a high delay between
wakeup and re-connecting to WiFi & wired networks. The delay increased
from a few seconds (on my previous distro, same software stack) to
almost half a minute with NixOS.
I (locally) applied the change in this commit a few weeks ago and tested
since then. The notebook/mobile device experience has improved a lot.
Reconnects are as before switching to NixOS.
Issue #24401 could be related to this. Since I am not using KDE/plasma5
I can only guess…
This allows one to specify "related packages" in NixOS that get rendered into
the configuration.nix(5) man page. The interface philosophy is pretty much
stolen from TeX bibliography.
This is required on the ThunderX CPUs on the Packet.net Type-2A
machines that have a GICv3. For some reason the default is to create a
GICv2 independent of the host hardware...
