Unfortunately, we can't test whether USB is really working, but we can
make sure that VirtualBox has access to the USB devices.
This is essentially testing #9736, which I haven't yet been able to
reproduce though, but it makes sense to test it so it won't happen in
future releases.

The default synaptics functionality (without this file) is limited for
clickpads: the right soft button area in the bottom right isn't active by
default, so the entire pad generates left-clicks. There is no way to
right-drag.
This file defines soft button areas and provides some matching rules.
These settings don't conflict with the synaptics options that NixOS
provides.
Addresses #9876 in the way that we want to make sure that VirtualBox 5.x
is going to be properly detected. Right now the result is "kvm", so the
subtest fails as expected with:
error: systemd-detect-virt returned "kvm" instead of "oracle" at (eval
14) line 414, <__ANONIO__> line 92.

The previous default was $out/lib/debug, which wasn't very useful.
This ensures that you can do
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.hello.debug ];
to install debug info.
Booting the demo/installer image won't work if the video memory is too

We're simply using antiquotation, since it's been a while since these
got introduced (in Nix 1.7). So we can use them because it makes the

As usual, I made sure that I didn't accidentally change something in

This is essentially not only "wrapping" the line but refactoring into a
shorter name which is used in two places.

We want to check whether DBus functionality is working, so let's make

This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
Fixes#7593 (NM can't find the dnsmasq binary); the NM expression is missing
dnsmasq in its buildInputs, so configure can't find it.
Also creates /var/lib/misc which dnsmasq expects to exist, because it puts
dnsmasq.leases there.
This reverts commit ab6c8643d4. Issue
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/609 has been resolved, the new Nix
version is available after 86eaeb4c0a, and
using nix-collect-garbage has the advantage that the '-d' flag is
available, which nix-store doesn't have.
Or else users may see this unfriendly message:
error: cannot coerce null to a string, at .../nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/gdm.nix:107:49
Changes the option and explicitely sets it for each desktopManager.
Reasoning: Currently,
services.xserver.displayManager.desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower is set
to true by default. This creates a problem for users without desktop
environments activated, since lid management simply doesn't work
(and they have to be lucky to find this option).

This reverts commit a8eb2a6a81. OpenSSH
7.0 is causing too many interoperability problems so soon before the
15.08 release.
For instance, it causes NixOps EC2 initial deployments to fail with
"REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED". This is because the client
knows the server's ssh-dss host key, but this key is no longer
accepted by default. Setting "HostKeyAlgorithms" to "+ssh-dss" does
not work because it causes ssh-dss to be ordered after
"ecdsa-sha2-nistp521", which the server also offers. (Normally, ssh
prioritizes host key algorithms for which the client has a known host
key, but not if you set HostKeyAlgorithms.)
Using waitForWindow on the IceWM root window doesn't necessarily mean
that the panel will be shown. In the lightdm test, we only make sure
that the login is working and thus it doesn't matter how the session
itself will look or whether IceWM is broken, so we don't need that
screenshot.

This looks for the window title instead of OCRing the clock from the
IceWM panel. Of course, this has the drawback, that whenever IceWM is
started it doesn't necessarily mean that the panel is also visible at
that time, so we might want to drop the screenshot of the "session" as
well.

`man 1 info` says:
The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to
start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH.
If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the
result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu
items relative to the initial node visited.
Which means that this does what previous programs/info did and #8519
(on-the-fly infodir generation for Emacs) wanted to do, but for both
programs.
Now it generates notifications for auto-detected devices as well as
for explicitly configured ones, sends well formed e-mails and supports
immediate `wall` and `xmessage` notifications.
Avoids this warning when running `nixos-rebuild switch`:
````

Currently the lightdm test detects a successful login by OCR'ing the
screen and searching for the clock widget's text. Since the last
IceWM update (commit bdd20ced), either the font or the colors of the
clock changed such that the OCR doesn't pick it up anymore.
Instead, just look for a matching (root) window title, e.g.
"IceWM 1.3.9 (Linux/i686)"
This improves error messages when a set or a list is used where a path
was expected. For an example, if you used a package set (as opposed to a
single package) in systemPackages before this commit, the error was:
```
cannot coerce a list to a string, at "/home/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix":103:37
```
Now, the error message reads:
```
The option value `environment.systemPackages' in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' is not a list of paths.
```
And set the default value to "Address @LOCAL". This change is needed to
find printers at my workplace (with "lpinfo -v" or the
"system-config-printer" GUI). Ubuntu 14.04 also has this as default.
snmp.conf does not seem to be needed in restartTriggers, because it is
not the cups daemon itself that reads it, but some helper programs that
it spawns on demand.

Regression introduced by 032f0ffdd0.
The change doesn't look obvious at the first sight why it may cause
problems with lib.makePerlPath, but it introduces a Perl package called
"lib".
And using "with perlPackages;" uses the Perl library "lib" instead of
the lib attribute set from pkgs.
So let's use pkgs.lib.makePerlPath directly in hope that there won't be
a Perl package anytime soon which is called "pkgs".

For example, this allows writing
nix.package = /nix/store/786mlvhd17xvcp2r4jmmay6jj4wj6b7f-nix-1.10pre4206_896428c;
Also, document types.package in the manual.
Fixes#9110. Fontconfig recommends different precedence for rendering
settings and generic alias settings. To comply with the recommendations,
`98-nixos.conf` has been separated into `10-nixos-rendering.conf` and
`60-nixos-generic-alias.conf`.
This gets rid of
systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit avahi-daemon.service, ignoring: Unit avahi-daemon.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
This removes all references to .../sbin for the guest additions and also
installs all binaries to .../bin instead (so no more .../sbin).
The main motivation for doing this is commit 98cedb3 (which
unfortunately had to be reverted in a9f2e10) and pull request #9063,
where the latter is an initial effort to move mount.vboxsf to .../bin
instead of .../sbin.
The commit I made afterwards is finishing the removal of .../sbin
entirely.
In 14f09e0, I've introduced the module under modules/programs, because
the legacy virtualbox.nix was also under that path. But because we
already have modules/virtualisation/virtualbox-guest.nix, it really
makes sense to put this module alongside of it as well.
This module thus has no change in functionality and I've tested
evaluation against nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix and the manual.

Using $storepath/sbin is deprecated according to commit 98cedb3, so
let's avoid putting anything in .../sbin for the guest additions.
This is a continuation of the initial commit done by @ctheune at
1fb1360, which unfortunately broke VM tests and only changed the path of
the mount.vboxsf helper.
With this commit, the VM test is fixed and I've also verified on my
machine that it is indeed working again.

This option requests compatibility with older NixOS releases with
respect to stateful data, in cases where new releases have defaults
that might be incompatible with system state of existing NixOS
deployments. For instance, if we change the default version of
PostgreSQL, existing deployments will break if the new version can't
read databases created by the old version.
So for example, setting
system.stateVersion = "15.07";
requests that options like services.postgresql.package use defaults
corresponding to the 15.07 release branch. Note that
nixos-generate-config emits this option. (In the future, NixOps may
set system.stateVersion to the NixOS release in use when the machine
was created.)
See also #7939 for another motivating example.
The resulting image can be copied to a SD card with `dd` and is directly
bootable by a suitably configured U-Boot. Though depending on the board, some
extra steps are required for copying U-Boot itself to the SD card.
Inside the image is a partition table, with a FAT32 /boot and a normal
writable EXT4 rootfs. It's possible to directly reuse the SD image's
partition layout and "install" NixOS on the same SD card by replacing
the default configuration.nix and nixos-rebuild, and actually is the
preferred way to use these images. To assist in this installation
method, the boot scripts on the image automatically resize the rootfs
partition to fit the SD card on the first boot.
The SD images come in two flavors; one for the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi,
and one multiplatform image for all the boards supported by the
mainline kernel's multi_v7_defconfig config target. At the moment, these
have been tested on:
- Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB model)
- NVIDIA Jetson TK1
- Linksprite pcDuino3 Nano
To build, run:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage \
-I nixos-config='<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-armv7l-multiplatform.nix>'
When using extlinux-conf-builder in a nix build using chroots, the
following error message could be seen:
/nix/store/XXX-extlinux-conf-builder.sh: line 121: cd: /nix/var/nix/profiles: No such file or directory
To avoid this, just skip the code path parsing /nix/var/nix/profiles
when $numGenerations (passed from the command line) is 0 (which is the
only legal value of $numGenerations in a nix build context).
