Plugin and QML import paths were previously determined by NIX_PROFILES. Using
PATH instead allows Qt applications to work under nix-shell without further
modification.
- Reduce environment pollution with a separate $bin output containing programs,
plugins, and shared data. Libraries remain in $out and are not installed into
the environment.
- Only propagate build inputs as required.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
While systemd suggests using the pre-defined graphical-session user
target, I found that this interface is difficult to use. Additionally,
no other major distribution, even in their unstable versions, currently
use this mechanism.
The window or desktop manager is supposed to run in a systemd user service
which activates graphical-session.target and the user services that are
binding to this target. The issue is that we can't elegantly pass the
xsession environment to the window manager session, in particular
whereas the PassEnvironment option does work for DISPLAY, it for some
mysterious reason won't for PATH.
This commit implements a new graphical user target that works just like
default.target. Services which should be run in a graphical session just
need to declare wantedBy graphical.target. The graphical target will be
activated in the xsession before executing the window or display manager.
Fixes#17858.
Without this change there will be silent errors when enabling screen
sharing. The GUI thinks it enables the service when it in fact does not
(errors are seen in the system journal).
vino is already in the closure of gnome-control-center, so this is
basically free.
Configuration of screen sharing is done in GNOME control center.
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.
However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.
This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:
* XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
* SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
* XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
taskbar on the primary monitor
These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.
The changes are also backwards-compatible.
Use a solid black background when no background image (via
~/.background-image) is provided. In my case this fixes the really
strange behaviour when i3 without a desktop manager starts with the SDDM
login screen as background image.
The xsession script was called with inconsistent (depending on the
display managers) and wrong parameters. The main reason for this where
the spaces the parameter syntax. In order to fix this the old syntax:
$1 = '<desktop-manager> + <window-manager>'
Will be replaced with a new syntax:
$1 = "<desktop-manager>+<window-manager>"
This assumes that neither "<desktop-manager>" nor "<window-manager>"
contain the "+" character but this shouldn't be a problem.
This patch also fixes the quoting by using double quotes (") instead of
single quotes (') [0].
Last but not least this'll add some comments for the better
understanding of the script.

It was asked by @CMCDragonkai to elaborate on that, so let's just do
this by actually providing a code comment.

Using invalid module options in the submodule isn't very nice, because
it doesn't give very useful errors in case of type mismatch, also we
don't get descriptions of these options as they're effecively
nonexistent to the module system. Another downside of this is that
merging of these options isn't done correctly as well (eg. for
types.lines).
So we now have proper submodules for each xrandrHead and we also use
corcedTo in the type of xrandrHeads so that we can populate the
submodule's "output" option in case a plain string is defined for a list
item.
Instead of silently skipping multiple primary heads, we now have an
assertion, which displays a message and aborts configuration evaluation
appropriately.

The main change here is a patch of SLiM to tread a log file of
/dev/stderr specially in that it now uses std::cerr instead of a file
for logging.
This allows us to set the logfile to stderr in NixOS for the generated
SLiM configuration file and we now get logging to the systemd journal.

This reverts commit 6b7c5ba535.
Unfortunately it seems like this broke slim, lightdm and gdm (see #25068
and #23264). This is already reverted in the 17.03 branch (99dfb6d).
TODO: We need tests for slim and lightdm and fix the test for gdm
(failing since 2016-10-26) to prevent such breakage in the future.
kimpanel does not show installed IBus engines or allow switching input
methods. kimpanel does show configured keyboard layouts through kxkb, so I
believe there is some problem communicating with IBus. No error messages are
produced in the log and I have been unable to discover the cause. I have no
intention of continuing to work on kimpanel at this time, so it should be
disabled. The GTK+ 3-based panel provided by IBus is perfectly serviceable in
the interim.
