Because when I see "config.system.build.manual.manual" after I forgot
what it means I ask "Why do I need that second `.manual` there again?".
Doesn't happen with `config.system.build.manual.manualHTML`.
Without this the graphical installer has no way to open the manual.
You can fix it yourself by installing any HTML browser but this might
be unfamiliar to users new to NixOS and without any other way to open
the manual. The downside is it will also increase download sizes.

/run/rmilter is set by systemd, and have root:root ownership, which
prevent pid file to write.
This fix suggested to be promoted to 18.09 branch.
(Although rmilter itself is deprecated, and I plan to remove it, after
18.09 would be released)
Add package libratbag and service module ratbagd
Libratbag contains ratbagd daemon and ratbagctl cli to configure
buttons, dpi, leds, etc. of gaming mice.
Add mvnetbiz to maintainers.
The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains
several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master
build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use
`yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it).
In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by
simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent
master).
To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now
defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several
linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`.
The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually
starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a
screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM.
Fixes#46899
This allows the definition of a custom derivation of Exim,
which can be used to enable custom features such as LDAP and PAM support.
The default behaviour remains unchanged (defaulting to pkgs.exim).
10G is not enough for a desktop installation, and resizing a Virtualbox disk image is a pain.
Let's increase the default disk size to 100G. It does not require more storage space, since the empty bits are left out.
1. Simplify the command by reading directly from /etc/machine-id which
is already a random, lower-case hex string
2. Previously, the command output could be too short because of missing
leading digits. This is now fixed.
* acquire DHCP on the interfaces with networking.interface.$name.useDHCP == true or on all interfaces if networking.useDHCP == true (was only only "eth0")
* respect "mtu" if it was in DHCP answer (it happens in the wild)
* acquire and set up staticroutes (unlike others clients, udhcpc does not do the query by default); this supersedes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/41829
For update-mime-database to work, you must have to have some mime
packages installed. In some DEs like XFCE this is not guaranteed to
happen. In that case just skip the update-mime-database call.
Fixes#46162
That way the built-in web server is usable by default but users can use
$HOME/web directly (instead of having to use a symlink), if they want to
customize the webpage.
Without a group the gid will default to 65534 (2^16 - 2) which maps to
"nogroup". IMO it makes more sense to explicitly set a valid group.
Adding pkgs.sks to environment.systemPackages is not required (IIRC we
want to avoid bloating environment.systemPackages). Instead it seems
like a better idea to make the relevant binaries available to the user
sks and enable useDefaultShell so that "su -l sks" can be used for
manual interaction (that way the files will always have the correct
owner).
This commit adds the following
* the uucp user
* options for HylaFAX server to control startup and modems
* systemd services for HylaFAX server processes
including faxgettys for modems
* systemd services to maintain the HylaFAX spool area,
including cleanup with faxcron and faxqclean
* default configuration for all server processes
for a minimal working configuration
Some notes:
* HylaFAX configuration cannot be initialized with faxsetup
(as it would be common on other Linux distributions).
The hylafaxplus package contains a template spool area.
* Modems are controlled by faxgetty.
Send-only configuration (modems controlled by faxq)
is not supported by this configuration setup.
* To enable the service, one or more modems must be defined with
config.services.hylafax.modems .
* Sending mail *should* work:
HylaFAX will use whatever is in
config.services.mail.sendmailSetuidWrapper.program
unless overridden with the sendmailPath option.
* The admin has to create a hosts.hfaxd file somewhere
(e.g. in /etc) before enabling HylaFAX.
This file controls access to the server (see hosts.hfaxd(5) ).
Sadly, HylaFAX does not permit account-based access
control as is accepts connections via TCP only.
* Active fax polling should work; I can't test it.
* Passive fax polling is not supported by HylaFAX.
* Pager transmissions (with sendpage) are disabled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
* Incoming data/voice/"extern"al calls
won't be handled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
Take two of #40708 (4fe2898608).
That PR attempted to bidirectionally default `config.nixpkgs.system` and
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system` to each be updated by the other. But
this is not possible with the way the module system works. Divergence in
certain cases in inevitable.
This PR is more conservative and just has `system` default `localSystem`
and `localSystem` make the final call as-is. This solves a number of
issues.
- `localSystem` completely overrides `system`, just like with nixpkgs
proper. There is no need to specify `localSystem.system` to clobber the
old system.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is exactly what is passed to nixpkgs. No
spooky steps.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is elaborated just as nixpkgs would so
that all attributes are available, not just the ones the user
specified.
The remaining issue is just that `config.nixpkgs.system` doesn't update
based on `config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system`. It should never be
referred to lest it is a bogus stale value because
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem` overwrites it.
Fixes#46320
This adds several improvements the previously introduced
`services.weechat` module:
* Dropped `services.weechat.init` as the initialization script can now
be done on package-level since 2af41719bc using the `configure`
function.
* Added `sessionName` option to explicitly configure a name for the
`screen` session (by default: weechat-screen).
* Added `binary` option to configure the binary name (e.g.
`weechat-headless`).
* Added docs regarding `screen` session and `weechat.service`.
Previously it was only possible to use very simple Riemann config.
For more complicated scenarios you need a directory of clojure
files and the config file that riemann starts with should be in this
directory.
This fixes an issue with shells like fish that are not fully POSIX
compliant. The syntax `ENV=val cmd' doesn't work properly in there.
This issue has been addressed in #45932 and #45945, however it has been
recommended to use a single shell (`stdenv.shell' which is either
`bash' or `sh') to significantly reduce the maintenance overload in the
future.

Although double '/' in paths is not a problem for GRUB supplied with nixpkgs, sometimes NixOS's grub.conf read by external GRUB and there are versions of GRUB which fail
The switch from slim to lightdm in #30890 broke some nixos tests
because lightdm by default doesn't permit auto-login for root.
Override /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin to allow it.
The option was added in 1251b34b5b
with type `types.path` but default `null`, so eval failed with
the default setting. This broke the acme and certmgr tests.

This is the semantics as understood by `xdg-open`. Using these semantics
on a non-colon-separated variable works because it acts as if it was a
one element long list.
This fixes an issue where it would try to exec
`google-chrome-beta:google-chrome:chromium:firefox` on a system
configured with these semantics in mind.
The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While
one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install
rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy
settings for the nix-daemon are not configured.
This commit updates the documentation with
1. steps to install behind a proxy
2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access
internet.
3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy
settings on different networks.
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.

The recommended TLS configuration comes with `ssl_stapling on` and
`ssl_stapling_verify on`. However, this last directive also requires
the use of `ssl_trusted_certificate` to verify the received answer.
When using `enableACME` or similar, we can help the user by providing
the correct value for the directive.
The result can be tested with:
openssl s_client -connect web.example.com:443 -status 2> /dev/null

A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
This allows one to add rules which change a packet's routing table:
iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING 1 -m set --match-set myset src -j MARK --set-mark 2
ip rule add fwmark 2 table 1 priority 1000
ip route add default dev wg0 table 1
to the beginning of raw table PREROUTING chain, and still have rpfilter.
DefaultTimeoutStartSec is normally set to 90 seconds and works fine. But
when running NixOS tests on a very slow machine (like a VM without
nested virtualisation support) this default is to low and causes
systemd units to fail spuriously. One symptom of this issue are tests
at times failing with "timed out waiting for the VM to connect".
Since the VM connect timeout is 300 seconds I also set
DefaultTimeoutStartSec to this which is ridiculously high.
The background color option is self-explanatory.
The mode is either `normal` or `stretch`, they are as defined by GRUB,
where normal will put the image in the top-left corner of the menu, and
stretch is the default, where it stretches the image without
consideration for the aspect ratio.

The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub
usage. This is to be fixed with new options in grub.
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB)
- coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools
- NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full
- *Support parameter defaults are moved inside
(it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`)
Closure considerations:
+ typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB
- typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB,
due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to
re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression
would get much more complex.
I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default
`coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many
trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild
impact of openssl from growing significantly.
The additions are:
- image/svg+xml for SVG images
- application/atom+xml for Atom feeds
These types are also present in mime.types. For better readability,
the list is sorted and formatted with one type per line.
This prevents issues when gitea adds new locales etc. And if they
change locale values in future versions. Or if you rollback to a
previous version of gitea it might be a good idea to use the previous
locale files.
This is a 277K (as of right now) addition that can greatly help in some
last recourse scenarios. The specific rEFInd setup will not be able to
boot the installer image, but this is not why it has been added. It has
been added to make use of its volumes scanning capabilities to boot
existing EFI images on the target computer, which is sometimes necessary
with buggy EFI. While is isn't NixOS's job to fix buggy EFI, shipping
this small bit with the installer will help the unlucky few.
Example scenario: two wildly different EFI implementation I have
encountered have fatal flaws in which they sometimes will lose all the
settings, this includes boot configuration. This is compounded by the
fact that the two specific and distinct implementation do not allow
manually adding ESP paths from their interface. The only recourse is to
let the EFI boot the default paths, EFI/boot/boot{platform}.efi, which
is not a default location used by the NixOS bootloaders. rEFInd is able
to scan the volumes and detect the existing efi bootloaders, and boot
them successfully.

Bootable USB-drives are not limited to ISO-images, there can be "normal" MBR/GPT-partitioned disk connected via USB-rack.
Also, "uas" implies "usb-storage", so there is no need to mention both.
