Reportedly some ARM boards need some boot code at the start of a SD card
that could be larger than a megabyte. Change it to 8M, and while at it
reduce the /boot size such that the root partition should now start on a
128M boundary (the flash on SD cards really don't like non-aligned
writes these days).
Before the error if the wrong default desktop was chosen would be:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager ($(defaultDM)) not found.
which has the string interpolation done incorreclty. Now that is fixed
and it is more user-friendly as:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager (gnome) not found.
Probably you want to change
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome";
to one of
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome3";
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "none";
- Fixed a bug in bluedevil (link to a .js file)
- Made bluez5 the default bluetooth service except for kde4
- created org.bluez.obex systemd dbus service
- Patched bluez5 using bluez-5.37-obexd_without_systemd-1.patch
in order to enable obex when using either the bluedevil plasmoid
or dolpin file manager within plasma workspaces 5.
The functionality was tested using a Sony Xperia Z, the machine
and the handset paired and two different files were sent in both
directions successfully.
First of all this fixes an evaluation error I introduced in ae466ba,
which wasn't triggered by any of my own tests against the change because
there are usually no NixOS options that are declared outside of the
<nixpkgs> tree. I renamed the attribute name from "fn" to "fileName"
first and later to "fullPath" but forgot one still occuring "filename".
Thanks to @vcunat for noticing this.
Another thing that he pointed out was that the "stripPrefix" function
can be factored away entirely, because it's very similar to
"removePrefix" in <nixpkgs/lib>.
Unfortunately we can't use "removePrefix" as is, because we need to
account for the final shlash.
So instead of removing it twice and/or retaining "stripPrefix", let's
append a shlash on every "prefixesToStrip" and we can use "removePrefix"
as is.

Let's use a simple (unflipped) fold and break out the actual core
stripPrefix function from stripAnyPrefixes (I personally love
point-less^H^H^H^Hfree style but if I'd be anal I'd even go further and
factor away the "fn:").
Also, let's use path as a better name for "fn" (filename), because
that's what it is and also cannot be confused with "fn" meaning
"function".
We now toString all of the prefixes, so there shouldn't be any need to
implicily toString the extraSources anymore.

Regression introduced by e6cd147ae7.
This broke all of the installer tests, because they needed to rebuild
the manual within the test machine, while it only has a closure of the
already pre-built system in place.
The problem here was just that the order of the arguments got mixed up
in stripAnyPrefixes, so it was actually trying to strip the path off the
prefix, not the other way around.
So in the end no prefix was stripped at all, so we ended up having full
store paths in the manual, which in turn caused the build within the VM
to fail, because the prefixes differed.

If we limit SSH_ASKPASS to interactive shells, users are unable to trigger
the ssh-passphrase dialog from their desktop environment autostart scripts.
Usecase: I call ssh-add during my desktop environment autostart and want to have
the passphrase dialog immediately after startup.
For this to work, SSH_ASKPASS needs to be propagated properly on
non-interactive shells.

Make top level /var/lib/postfix as root:root 0755
After generating custom configs in /var/lib/postfix/conf,
`postfix set-permissions` called, to perform all required tricks
related to queue handling (postfix use file mode bits to keep
some internal statuses, so `chmod -R` not recommended by authors,
see comments in $out/libexec/postfix/post-install for details)
Also post-install script was patched, to skip permission check/update
for files inside $out, as well as symlinks following to $NIX_STORE.
Config file `main.cf` extended with all default directory locations,
to prevent post-install script from guessing and overwrite them.
And finally all actions in activation script snippets performed
by postmap/postalias/postfix tools from current build, not random one
from paths.
When using `--ensure-unique-name`, don't needlessly append `"-0"` if the
container name is already unique.
This is especially helpful with NixOps since when it deploys to a
container it uses `--ensure-unique-name`. This means that the container
name will never match the deployment host due to the `"-0"`. Having the
container name and the host name match isn't exactly a requirement, but
it's nice to have and a small change.
Set this option to 'true' (default: 'false') to enable extension mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS) in your local glibc resolver. This is required for supporting
DNSSEC, for example.
Implementation detail: the patch changes assignments to "resolv_conf_options"
to use "+=" instead of "=" to ensure that multiple users of that variable don't
overwrite each other. The generated config file is a shell script, after all,
so this should work fine.

Regression introduced by 6b447a3c9b.
In this commit the Quake 3 demo data now have a meta attribute which
specifies the license as unfreeRedistributable.
While I haven't found anything official about that on the web, let's
just allow it to be used in the test because first of all, we have been
using it for a long time (since 2009, introduced in 497760b) and second,
because it will be quite some effort to rewrite the test with something
like OpenArena (particularily because we need coverage data and need to
use the ioquake3 version plus OpenArena-specific patches).

Modifies libvirt package to search for configs in /var/lib and changes
libvirtd service to copy the default configs to the new location.
This enables the user to change e.g. the networking configuration with
virsh or virt-manager and keep those settings.
This reverts most of 89e983786a, as those references are sanitized now.
Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
The manuals are now evaluated with each derivation in `pkgs` (recursively)
replaced by a fake with path "\${pkgs.path.to.the.attribute}".
It isn't perfect, but it seems to cover a vast majority of use cases.
Caveat: even if the package is reached by a different means,
the path above will be shown and not e.g. `${config.services.foo.package}`.
As before, defaults created by `mkDefault` aren't displayed,
but documentation shouldn't (mostly) be a reason to use that anymore.
Note: t wouldn't be enough to just use `lib.mapAttrsRecursive`,
because derivations are also (special) attribute sets.
Sadly, we can't instruct systemd to properly restart device-name.swap when this service restarts (or I haven't found the way to do so). As of now blindly restarting it would only get you a bunch of errors about device already used -- let's avoid it.

Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB
menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the
whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual
pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you
can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of
programs that read /etc/os-release.
This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want
from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and
/etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths,
GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.
This hopefully fixes intermittent initrd failures where udevd cannot
create a Unix domain socket:
machine# running udev...
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
machine# error initializing udev control socket
machine# error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
The "unix" kernel module is supposed to be loaded automatically, and
clearly that works most of the time, but maybe there is a race
somewhere. In any case, no sane person would run a kernel without Unix
domain sockets, so we may as well make it builtin.

Two concurrent tarsnap backups cannot be run at the same time with the
same keys - completely separate sets of keys must be generated for each
archive in this case, if you want backups to overlap.
This extends the archives attrset to support a 'keyfile' option, which
defaults to /root/tarsnap.key like the top-level attribute.
With this change, if you generate two keys with tarsnap-keygen(1) and
use each of those separately for each archive, you can backup
concurrently.

Tarsnap locks the cachedir during backup, meaning if you specify
multiple backups with a shared cache that might overlap (for example,
one backup may take an hour), secondary backups will fail. This isn't
very nice behavior for the obvious reasons.
This splits the cache dirs for each archive appropriately. Note that
this will require a rebuild of your archive caches (although if you were
only using one archive for your whole system, you can just move the
directory).

A machine may not always be active (or online!) when a backup timer
triggers, meaning backups can be missed - now we properly set the
tarsnap timer's Persistent option so systemd will run the command even
when the machine wasn't online at that exact time.
However, we also need to make sure that we can contact the tarsnap
server reliably before we start the backup. So, we attempt to ping the
access endpoint in a loop with a sleep, before continuing.
This fixes#8823.

assuming that these are caused by high load on the host.
... because we make it built-in by default.
I can't imagine anyone who wanted to purge this module from his/her system,
so let's keep it simple, at least for now.
This commit adds the options --build-host and --target-host to nixos-rebuild.
--build-host instructs nixos-rebuild to perform all nix builds on the
specified host (via ssh). Build results are then copied back to the
local machine and used when activating the system.
--build-target instructs nixos-rebuild to activate the configuration
not on the local machine but on the specified remote host. Build
results are copied to the target machine and then activated there (via ssh).
It is possible to combine the usage of --build-host and --target-host,
in which case you can perform the build on one remote machine and deploy
the configuration to another remote machine. The only requirement is that
the build host has a working ssh connection to the target host (if the
target is not local), and that the local machine can connect to both
the target and the build host. Also, your user must be allowed to copy
nix closures between the local machine and the target and host machines.
At no point in time are the configuration sources (the nix files) copied
anywhere. Instead, nix evaluation always happens locally
(with nix-instantiate). The drv-file is then copied and realised remotely
(with nix-store).
As a convenience, if only --target-host is specified, --build-host is
implicitly set to that host too. So if you want to build locally and deploy
remotely you have to explicitly set "--build-host localhost".
To activate (test, boot or switch) you need to have root access to the
target host. You can specify this by "--target-host root@myhost".
I have tested the obvious scenarios and they are working. Some of the
combinations of --build-host and --target-host and the various actions might
not make much sense, and should maybe be forbidden (like setting a remote
target host when building a VM), and some combinations might not work at all.

We seem to be in an unfortunate situation: booting without 'nomodeset'
causes hangs when booting on some NVIDIA cards (6948c3ab80), but on the
other hand adding 'nomodeset' prevents X from starting on other hardware
(e.g. issue #10381 and my Thinkpad X250 with an integrated Broadwell GPU).
Attempt to remedy this situation a bit by adding a separate entry in the
ISOLINUX menu (with the non-'nomodeset' being the default).
The docker module used different code for socket-activated docker daemon than for the non-socket activated daemon.
In particular, if the socket-activated daemon is used, then modprobe wasn't set up to be usable and in PATH for
the docker daemon, which resulted in a failure to start the daemon with overlayfs as storageDriver if the
`overlay` kernel module wasn't already loaded. This commit fixes that bug (which only appears if socket
activation is used), and also reduces the duplication between code paths so that it's easier to keep
both in sync in future.
