The postgresql module has a postStart section that waits for a database
to accept connections before continuing. However, this assumes various
properties about the database - specifically the database user
and (implicitly) the database name. This means that for old
installations, this command fails because there is no 'postgres' user,
and the service never starts.
While 7deff39 does create the 'postgres' user, a better solution is to
use `pg_isready`, who's sole purpose is to check if the database is
accepting connections. This has no dependency on users, so should be
more robust.
Old PostgreSQL installations were created using the 'root' database
user. In this case, we need to create a new 'postgres' account, as we
now assume that this is the superuser account.
Unfortunately, these machines will be left with a 'root' user as
well (which will have ownership of some databases). While PostgreSQL
does let you rename superuser accounts, you can only do that when you
are connected as a *different* database user. Thus we'd have to create a
special superuser account to do the renaming. As we default to using
ident authentication, we would have to create a system level user to do
this. This all feels rather complex, so I'm currently opting to keep the
'root' user on these old machines.
Teamviewer puts symlinks to nix store paths in ~/.teamviewer. When those
paths become garbage collected, teamviewer crashes upon start because of
those broken symlinks. An easy workaround to this behaviour is simply to
delete all symlinks before we start teamviewer. Teamviewer will fixup
the symlinks, just like it did the first time the user ran it.
It turns out this doesn't work due to setuid issues. I had been under
the impression that it was partially broken, but it is in fact totally
broken.
This reverts commit 718466074f, reversing
changes made to ea9c8d6a13.
- Vte, add gtk3 support, enable introspection, update to 0.35.90
- Spice-gtk, add gtk3 support
- gtk-vnc, add gtk3 support
- Add libvirt-glib (thanks @bjornfor)
- Add usbredir
- qemu, enable usbredir
- spice-gtk, enable usbredir
- virt-manager, update to 1.0.1
[Bjørn:
* Set namePrefix = "" to preserve package name "virt-manager"
(instead of "python2.7-virt-manager")
* Add dconf to GIO_EXTRA_MODULES to get persistent settings in
virt-manager. Without it:
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
* Add ${gtk3}/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS to unbreak "Take Screenshot"
feature (fixes "Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed")
* gtk-vnc: don't pull "pkgs" attrset for optionalString, use stdenv.lib.optionalString instead.

- move frome $out to $out/share
- fix quoting that prevented globbing
- indent by spaces (as it is more common in nixpkgs; 4 spaces for shell)
More work is still needed for some individual packages.
