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).
See issue #9671
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.
- upgrade 106 -> 108
- fix passphrase rewrapper (password changing should now work fine) as
discussed on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1486470
- add lsof dependency so ecryptfs-migrate-home should work out of the
box
`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`:
````

trace: Obsolete option `services.virtualboxGuest.enable' is used. It was renamed to `virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable'.
````
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.
This provides support for Ubuntu Fan Networking [1].
This includes:
* The fanctl package, and a corresponding NixOS service.
* iproute patches.
* kernel patches.

Commit 687caeb renamed services.virtualboxHost to programs.virtualbox,
but according to the discussion on the commit, it's probably a better to
put it into virtualisation.virtualbox instead.

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.

$d should be $sd, this causes resume from hibernate to fail if
resumeDevice is not explicitly set in config. Introduced in commit:
'stage-1: Shut up warnings about swap devices that don't exist yet'
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).
The rationale for disabling this is: 1) systemd timers are better; 2)
it gets rid of one usually unnecessary process, which makes containers
more light-weight.
Note that cron is still enabled if services.cron.systemCronJobs is
non-empty, so this only matters if you have no declarative cron jobs
but do have user cron jobs.
Without a menu title, U-Boot's distro scripts just autoboot the first
entry by default.
When I initially wrote this, my board wasn't apparently running stock
U-Boot but had some local hacks saved in the U-Boot's environment
which made it always display the prompt.
When calling addEntry inside a subshell, the filesCopied array would
be updated only in the subshell's environment. This would only cause an
issue if no -g flag was passed to the script, causing no kernels
to be copied.
This fixes a failing assert in systemd-timesyncd (issue #5913) as it
expects the directory /run/systemd/netif/links/ to exist, and nothing in
NixOS currently creates it.
Also we get a net reduction in our code as rules for /run/utmp and
/var/log/journal are also provided by the same upstream file.

This shuts up this error from dbus:

May 11 13:52:16 machine dbus-daemon[259]: Unknown username "systemd-resolve" in message bus configuration file
which happens because the D-Bus config for networkd/resolved is
enabled unconditionally, and we don't have an easy way to turn it off.

Enables attaching AppArmor profiles at the user/group level.
This is not intended to be used directly, but as part of a
role-based access control scheme. For now, profile attachment
is 'session optional', but should be changed to 'required' once
a more comprehensive solution is in place.
Xen required a few changes in order to be usable:
* Include xenfs module in initrd as loading it in the activation
script was failing.
* Include /etc/default/xendomains, which is needed by
xen-domains service.
* Create /var/log/xen and /var/lib/xen directories in
the xen-store service, which are needed by the xl command.
The directories could be created by any other script as long as
they are guaranteed to exist before xl is called.
* Fix a reference to /bin/ls in the xendomains script.
Currently there are no tests that depend on the JDK. Since we don't
want a release with a broken JDK, make it an explicit dependency of
the "tested" jobs.
The systemd service was ignoring ExecStart because the path to the
paster executable was not absolute. Because ExecStart was ignored, the
service would not start.
