The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
There's two ways of providing graphical sessions now:
- `displayManager.session` via. `desktopManager.session` and
`windowManager.session`
- `displayManager.sessionPackages`
`sessionPackages` doesn't make a distinction between desktop and window
managers. This makes selecting a session provided by a package using
`desktopManager.default` nonsensical.
We therefor introduce `displayManager.defaultSession` which can select a session
from either `displayManager.session` or `displayManager.sessionPackages`.
It will default to `desktopManager.default + windowManager.default` as before.
If the dm default is "none" it will select the first provided session from
`sessionPackages`.
+ Fixing interrupted descriptions
+ Added more verbose descriptions
+ Addded <literal> to the descriptions
+ uniformly reformated descriptions to break at 80 chars
(cherry picked from commit c7945c8a97)
Having a default session resulted in GDM not remembering the last used
session.
So do not force the session until setSessionScript is made aware of the
last session used.
When 'grafting' '/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg' from disk onto
'/boot/grub/loopback.cfg' on the iso, the parent 'grub' directory does not
exist yet. In this case it is automatically created and inherits its
attributes, including timestamp, from /nix/store.
This is correct/expected/intentional behavior of xorriso, but has the
undesired result of leaking the timestamps of /nix/store into the iso. For
this reason we put the loopback.cfg in a
'/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg/grub/loopback.cfg' instead, so it will inherit
the attributes from the correctly-timestamped
'/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg/grub' directory.
For the same reason we move '/EFI/boot/efi-background.png' down in the list
so it is grafted after its parent '/EFI/boot' directory is created with
the correct timestamp.

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/75075.
To summarize the report in the aforementioned issue, at a glance,
it's a different default than what upstream polkit has. Apparently
for 8+ years polkit defaults admin identities as members of
the wheel group [0]. This assumption would be appropriate on NixOS, where
every member of group 'wheel' is necessarily privileged.

If no display manager is enabled this will not make any difference, but
if a Wayland compatible display manager like SDDM is enabled, a session
for Sway will be available. Therefore it does make sense to enable this
by default.
This adds the display manager integration mentioned in #57602.
Allow the user to specify the permissions to apply to download folders
used by transmission. This is useful e.g. when they are stored on a
network share and accessed by other users.
This commit also makes the home and config directories 700, as there
is should be no need for wider permissions there.
Only use sudo if we are currently not running as the nextcloud user.
This is problematic when occ is called from a systemd service with
NoNewPrivileges=true
In the process of making UPower.conf customizable (#73968), it came up
that UPower doesn't load its config from /etc by default.
The UPower derivation is modified to make it load its config from /etc
at runtime, but still install the default config to its nix store path
as before.
The UPower module is modified to put the config in /etc.
When session debugging was enabled in GNOME but not in Pantheon
{
services.xserver = {
desktopManager.pantheon = {
enable = true;
};
desktopManager.gnome3 = {
enable = true;
debug = true;
};
};
}
it caused a conflict:
error: The option `environment.sessionVariables.GNOME_SESSION_DEBUG' has conflicting definitions, in `<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/pantheon.nix>' and `<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/gnome3.nix>'.
gobject-introspection has nothing to do with graphical systems or GNOME, it is needed for language bindings like Python.

Didn't notice this till I tried removing my custom roon user from the one I was testing with. There's not a 'groups' option for users, only group (primary group) and extraGroups. Use these.

This PR is part of the networking.* namespace cleanup. We feel that
networking.hostConf is rarely used and provides little value compared to
using environment.etc."host.conf" directly.
Provide sensible default: multi on
Samba 3 has been discontinued since Q1/2015. So I think it's time
to just wipe it from the pkgs. FuseSMB is pretty much abandoned,
upstream does not exist and it's also not as useful as it used to
be anyways.
This is a more sane default since we do not magically (without opt-in)
pull in binaries from `~/bin`. That is not really an expected behavior
for many users. Users that still want that behavior can now just flip
that switch.

ssmtp used to be configured via `networking.defaultMailServer` which is
sort of misleading since it provides options only for ssmtp. Other
dumb mail relays like nullmailer have always been living under
services.
The intent of this PR is to align ssmtp's options with those of similar
services. Specifically, two renames have been done:
* Rename `networking.defaultMailHost` to `services.ssmtp`.
* Rename `directDelivery` to `enable` because this is what it basically does.
