This is a regression introduced by merging the EBS and S3 images. The
EBS images had a special marker /.ebs to prevent the initrd from using
ephemeral storage for the unionfs, but this marker was missing in the
consolidated image.
The fix is to check the file ami-manifest-path on the metadata server
to see if we're an S3-based instance. This does require networking in
the initrd.
Issue #12613.
The default behavior with an m3.medium instance is to relocate
/nix and /tmp to /disk0 because an assumption is made that any
ephemeral disk is larger than the root volume. Rather than make
that assumption, add a check to see if the disk is larger, and
only then relocate /nix and /tmp.
This addresses https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12613

The fix was intended to remove the "x == true/false" assertions, but by
accident a "x == false" was made "x == true" instead of "(!x)".

Before the error if the wrong default desktop was chosen would be:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager ($(defaultDM)) not found.
which has the string interpolation done incorreclty. Now that is fixed
and it is more user-friendly as:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager (gnome) not found.
Probably you want to change
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome";
to one of
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome3";
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "none";
First of all this fixes an evaluation error I introduced in ae466ba,
which wasn't triggered by any of my own tests against the change because
there are usually no NixOS options that are declared outside of the
<nixpkgs> tree. I renamed the attribute name from "fn" to "fileName"
first and later to "fullPath" but forgot one still occuring "filename".
Thanks to @vcunat for noticing this.
Another thing that he pointed out was that the "stripPrefix" function
can be factored away entirely, because it's very similar to
"removePrefix" in <nixpkgs/lib>.
Unfortunately we can't use "removePrefix" as is, because we need to
account for the final shlash.
So instead of removing it twice and/or retaining "stripPrefix", let's
append a shlash on every "prefixesToStrip" and we can use "removePrefix"
as is.
Tested with:
taalo-build nixos/release.nix -A tests.installer.simple.x86_64-linux
And:
w3m -dump "$(
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
)/share/doc/nixos/options.html"

Let's use a simple (unflipped) fold and break out the actual core
stripPrefix function from stripAnyPrefixes (I personally love
point-less^H^H^H^Hfree style but if I'd be anal I'd even go further and
factor away the "fn:").
Also, let's use path as a better name for "fn" (filename), because
that's what it is and also cannot be confused with "fn" meaning
"function".
We now toString all of the prefixes, so there shouldn't be any need to
implicily toString the extraSources anymore.

Regression introduced by e6cd147ae7.
This broke all of the installer tests, because they needed to rebuild
the manual within the test machine, while it only has a closure of the
already pre-built system in place.
The problem here was just that the order of the arguments got mixed up
in stripAnyPrefixes, so it was actually trying to strip the path off the
prefix, not the other way around.
So in the end no prefix was stripped at all, so we ended up having full
store paths in the manual, which in turn caused the build within the VM
to fail, because the prefixes differed.

- added numlock on boot switch
- simply add :
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.autoNumlock = true;
to configuration.nix and sddm will start
with numlock enabled.
If we limit SSH_ASKPASS to interactive shells, users are unable to trigger
the ssh-passphrase dialog from their desktop environment autostart scripts.
Usecase: I call ssh-add during my desktop environment autostart and want to have
the passphrase dialog immediately after startup.
For this to work, SSH_ASKPASS needs to be propagated properly on
non-interactive shells.

I've added an alias for multipath_tools to make sure that we don't break
existing configurations referencing the old name.
