The default session might be found in `extraSessionFilePackages`, but it's not
viable to detect at evaluation time, so emit a warning.
In LightDM instead of checking `defaultSessionName` against
`displayManager.session.names` we rely on the assertions in
`desktopManager` and `windowMananger` and just check that there's at least one
default set. The second assertion could never actually be triggered.
Pass gnome-session to extraSessionFilePackages, remove unnecessary environment variables, move the rest out of old session option, and then drop the option.
To update the plasma start menu `kbuildsyscoca5` needs to be executed.
There are several people complaining about missing applications in their
plasma start menu.
This patch adds a activationScript for plasma, that runs
`kbuildsyscoca5` for each user that has `isNormalUser` == `true`.
Fixes issue #33231 and makes it possible to enable Plasma and KDE at the same time.
Previously, this worked like this:
- The gdk-pixbuf package comes with a cache file covering the modules bundled
with gdk-pixbuf.
- The librsvg package comes with a cache covering modules from gdk-pixbuf as
well as librsvg.
- plasma5 and xfce modules set the environment variable GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE
to the one from librsvg, so that SVG was supported in addition to the
formats supported by gdk-pixbuf. However if both were enabled a configuration
conflict would result (despite setting to the same value).
While this sort of worked (ignoring the conflict which perhaps could be hacked
around), it is unscalable and a hack, as there would be a real problem when one
wanted to add a third package that supports additional image formats.
A new NixOS module (gdk-pixbuf) is added with a configuration option
(modulePackages) that other modules use to request specific packages to be
included in the loaders cache. When any package is present in the list, the
module generates a system-wide loaders cache which includes the requested
packages (and always gdk-pixbuf itself), and sets the environment variable
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE to point to the generated cache file.
The plasma5 and xfce modules are updated to add librsvg to modulePackages
instead of setting GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE.
Note that many packages create wrappers that set GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE,
some directly to the one from librsvg. Therefore this change does not
change the existing hack in the librsvg package which ensures that
file is generated. This change aims only to solve the conflict in the
global environent variable configuration.
toPath has confusing semantics and is never necessary; it can always
either just be omitted or replaced by pre-concatenating `/.`. It has
been marked as "!!! obsolete?" for more than 10 years in a C++
comment, hopefully removing it will let us properly deprecate and,
eventually, remove it.
The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to
improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally
forget to configure a DM or WM.
However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM
or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs
needs to be done explicitly.
(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036)
In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a
mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine.
Currently broken on NixOS due to hardcoded modprobe binary path (see
bug #30756 from Oct 2017), no activity on a proposed fix for months.
As the protocol is terribly broken anyways, let's better remove it
completely, and not talk about anymore ;-)
Closes#30756.
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.
(originally from f9415cb621)
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.
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.
For some reason, the GNOME 3.26 update broke the overrides. It turns
out the overrides now need to come before the overridden schemas in the
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. This is not possible in general due to applications
prefixing the variable (e.g. in wrapGAppsHook).
To fix this, a new environment variable NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR
was introduced. It has greater priority than XDG_DATA_DIRS but lower
than GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. A separate variable was chosen in order not
to block the built-in one for users.

Breaking people's config for this is hardly reasonable as is. If it
absolutely cannot be avoided, at the very least, we need to provide
clear instructions on what people need to upgrade in their config. I
actually had to bisect to the commit, to even find out what property I
should change or define, as the error message was useless. It didn't
even mention a property name.
Discussion on the PR seems to be ongoing, so I'm reverting this, so we
don't break people's systems on unstable.
* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
- Update to version 1.3.0
- Remove dependency on `oxygen-icons5`, as Lumina desktop now distributes
it’s own "material-design-[light/dark]" icon themes and uses them as the
default icon sets.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
Without it, the following error is shown in the "Add Printer" window:
Failed to group devices: 'The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files'
Split packages in three categories, all of them going into the system
package list:
- pre-requisite packages
- core packages
- optional packages
Add a new configuration option 'environment.lxqt.excludePackages' to
specify optional LXQt packages that should be excluded from system
packages.
Add 'gvfs' as a pre-requisite package, needed by 'pcmanfm-qt' to
handle virtual places, like "Computer" and "Network".
* gnome3: default to 3.22
* zuki-themes: add src for gnome 3.22, remove 3.18
* gnome3_22.vte_290: copy from gnome3.20
* termite: use vte-select-text from gnome3_20
