This provides a more convenient syntax and allows easier overriding.
For example,
environment.etc = singleton
{ target = "vconsole.conf";
source = vconsoleConf;
};
can now be written as
environment.etc."vconsole.conf".source = vconsoleConf;
Adding support for the kind of bootloader in raspberrypi. Disable grub,
disable generationsDir, enable boot.loader.raspberrypi.
Usual layout expected: /boot being the first vfat the board reads blobs from.
If the user tries to run a program that doesn't exist from Bash, the
program name is looked up in a database that maps to Nix package
names. If it is found, we print out a message like:
$ pdflatex
The program ‘pdflatex’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
several packages. You can install it by typing one of the following:
nix-env -i tetex
nix-env -i texlive-core
If the environment variable $NIX_AUTO_INSTALL is set, the command is
installed and executed automatically:
$ hello --version
The program ‘hello’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
the package ‘hello’, which I will now install for you.
installing `hello-2.8'
hello (GNU hello) 2.8

To use this, you must currently manually put the SQLite programs
database in /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite. In the future, this file
should be provided as part of the NixOS channel so it gets updated
automatically. To get a test version:
$ curl http://nixos.org/~eelco/programs.sqlite.xz | xz -d > /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite
This reverts commit 683100666d.
Seems somebody (systemd? the kernel?) gets confused at power
events and remounts the filesystem containing /nix/store as
read-only.
Commit 37b56574e2 revealed that the code
to get regInfo from /proc/cmdline was broken. It only happened to
work because the kernel passes the command line to stage 1 through the
environment, so $regInfo was set anyway.
This is required to create a gschemas.compiled file with content
from all gschemas. Otherwise, gschemas.compiled will be taken
from a random package, and gsettings programs will not find what
they are looking for. I had to add this to get NetworkManager-applet
to work. You'll also have to add share/glib-2.0 to the pathsToLink
list.
Generating this in the activation script (along with gtk icons
etc), is not the nicest solution. But I have no real idea on
how to modularise it.
EC2 instances don't have a console, so it's pointless to start
emergency mode if a mount fails. (This happened to me with an
encrypted filesystem where the key wasn't sent on time using "charon
send-keys".) Better to cross fingers and continue booting.
This is necessary to prevent a race. Udev 197 has a new naming scheme
for network devices, so it will rename (say) eth0 to eno0. This fails
with "error changing net interface name eth0 to eno1: Device or
resource busy" if another process has opened the interface in the
meantime.
This reverts commit 1e741f1572b6793b861e2f9820015475ce339ae0 as it is
unnecessary according to @edolstra, because services.xserver.config from another
module will be merged into the configuration.

This is currently only a very simple implementation which just recurses a list
of heads that get chained together to the right of the corresponding previous
item of the list.
If I forgot about something in the already existing configuration options,
please let me know or if this commit is useless or a duplicate, feel free to
revert. But by looking at implementation before this commit, I only see zaphod
and/or quirky xinerama-like configuration options.

Starting an authenticated root shell is a security hole, so don't do
it by default. The kernel command line parameter
‘initrd.shell_on_fail’ restores the original. (Of course, this only
improves security if you have a password on GRUB to prevent the kernel
command line from being edited by unauthorized users.)
The 'memtest86' package didn't work on any of my machines. 'memtest86plus', on
the other hand, seems to work just fine. Does anyone know why we keep the
seemingly older version around still?
This is especially useful if you want to supply a default XRandR configuration,
where you need multiple "Monitor" sections in order to set properties for
specific CRTCs (if not running in zaphod mode).
