When bluetooth is enabled, we install bluedevil, but
its applet cannot work without the qml components in
bluez-qt.
Superseedes #65440 that failed to address the issue.
Introduce a new .plasma5.phononBackend option. Default value
"gstreamer" installs the same packages as before. "vlc" installs
only the vlc phonon backend.
- Remove xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu kbuildsycoca5. Not sure why we
need it but it is a pretty big failure if it exists.
See issue #56176.
- plasma: clear ksycoca cache before building
This is needed to pick up on software removed since the last cache
update. Otherwise it hangs around as zombies forever (or until the
cache is cleared).
- Add the above + the icon cache cleanup to plasmaSetup
This will be run for the logged in user on each nixos-rebuild.
Unfortunately this only works if you are managing software through
nixos-rebuild (nix-env users need to run this manually, otherwise
log out and log back in).
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.
- 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.
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.
