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.
X libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH seem to not be needed anymore.
I've tracked this addition as far as I could
(02cef04c81) and they seem to be added for unfree
NVIDIA and ATI drivers but at least for NVIDIA they are not needed anymore. We
can add them with patchelf instead if it turns out to be the case with ATI.
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.
Commit 1f2b938 introduced a module for evilwm as a window-manager, but
did not actually add this module to window-manager's default.nix which
renders it useless.
Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):
pkgs/development/libraries/epoxy/default.nix
pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/daphne/default.nix
pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix
This makes memoization of Nixpkgs evaluation less effective, since
some Nixpkgs invocations may have 'config = {}' while others may have
'config = { xorg = {}; }'.
Instead set 'config = {}'.
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.
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.

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.
There are security fixes in multiple packages /cc #32117,
so I'm merging a little earlier, with a few thousand jobs
still not finished on Hydra for x86_64-darwin and aarch64-linux.
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.
With libinput used for keyboard, base rules produce incorrect keyboard
layouts. We are removing the option as recommended in the XKB configuration
guide [1] to let X server choose the ruleset. It looks like it chooses
evdev rules which seem to work for some reason

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`.

Checking the keyboard layout has been a long set of hurdles so far, with
several attempts. Originally, the checking was introduced by @lheckemann
in #23709.
The initial implementation just was trying to check whether the symbols/
directory contained the layout name.
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough and keyboard variants weren't
recognized, so if you set layout to eg. "dvorak" it will fail with an
error (#25526).
So my improvement on that was to use sed to filter rules/base.lst and
match the layout against that. I fucked up twice with this, first
because layout can be a comma-separated list which I didn't account for
and second because I ran into a Nix issue (NixOS/nix#1426).
After fixing this, it still wasn't enough (and this is btw. what
localectl also does), because we were *only* matching rules but not
symbols, so using "eu" as a layout won't work either.
I decided now it's the time to actually use libxkbcommon to try
compiling the keyboard options and see whether it succeeds. This comes
in the form of a helper tool called xkbvalidate.
IMHO this approach is a lot less error-prone and we can be sure that we
don't forget about anything because that's what the X server itself uses
to compile the keymap.
Another advantage of this is that we now validate the full set of XKB
options rather than just the layout.
Tested this against a variety of wrong and correct keyboard
configurations and against the "keymap" NixOS VM tests.

* lib: introduce imap0, imap1
For historical reasons, imap starts counting at 1 and it's not
consistent with the rest of the lib.
So for now we split imap into imap0 that starts counting at zero and
imap1 that starts counting at 1. And imap is marked as deprecated.
See c71e2d4235 (commitcomment-21873221)
* replace uses of lib.imap
* lib: move imap to deprecated.nix
Regression introduced by 44c64fef16.
The services.xserver.layout option allows to specify more than one
layout separated by comma, which the commit above didn't take into
account.
This is very similar to @lheckemann's pull request (#26984) but differs
in the following ways:
* Print out the full list available layouts (as suggested by @0xABAB
in [1]).
* Loop over $layout using the default IFS (and thus no need for
escaping ${cfg.layout}), because the layouts won't contain white
spaces.
* Re-do the error message, which now uses multiple echos instead of a
heredoc, so the line is wrapped according to the viewers terminal
width.
I've tested this with several good and bad layouts and also against the
keymap NixOS VM subtests.

default icon sets.

Although it is not entirely clear why Nix has killed the build prior to
finishing, it seems to be related to the process substition I was using.
So instead of using "exec touch", let's wrap this inside an if so we
don't exit too early.
Tested this against all sub-tests in nixos/tests/keymap.nix and also a
few configurations with wrong keyboard layout definitions.

Enumerating the symbols directory doesn't include variants, so we're now
basically doing what "localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts" does but we use
sed instead.
The reason I'm not using localectl directly is because the path to
rules/base.lst is hardcoded in the systemd source.
Of course, the XKB specification allows for much more complicated rules,
but at least this should cover the most basic ones including variants.
So the sed expression itself is just for listing the available layouts
and variants and we use a grep with -xF to match only full lines without
interpreting regular expressions.
This should again allow to set "dvorak" as the layout option.

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.
