The following changes are included:
1) install user unit files from upstream dbus
2) use absolute paths to config for --system and --session instances
3) make socket activation of user units configurable
There has been a number of PRs to address this, so this one does the
bare minimum, which is to make the functionality available and
configurable but defaults to off.

KDM and LightDM (at least with autologin) call the xsession-script with
two arguments: the first is the path of the xsession script itself,
while the second one are the actual arguments. The line to re-exec the
script under systemd-cat only forwarded a single argument, therefore
breaking LightDM and KDM login. This commit fixes the issue by always
forwarding all the arguments.
When displaying a warning about a removed Option we should always
include reasoning why it was removed and how to get the same
functionality without it.
Introduces such a description argument and patches occurences (mostly
with an empty string).
startGnuPGAgent: further notes on replacement
... rather than ~/.xsession-errors. It might make sense to make this
the default, in order to eliminate ad hoc, uncentralised, poorly
discoverable log files.
This ensures that "journalctl -u display-manager" does what you would
expect in 2016. However, the main reason is to ensure that our VM
tests show the output of the X server.
A slight problem is that with KDE user switching, messages from the
various X servers end up in the same place. However, that's an
improvement over the previous situation, where the second X server
would overwrite the /var/log/X.0.log of the first. (This was caused by
the fact that we were passing a hard-coded value for -logfile.)
`dbus-launch` is executed early in the script, before desktop managers
had a chance to setup the environment. If DBus activation is used,
applications launched by this may therefore lack necessary environment
variables. This patch sends the complete environment to DBus after
launching the desktop manager.
GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent works, and that new approach no
longer requires (or even supports) the "start everything as a child of the
agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older versions.
To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the following code to
~/.xsession or some other appropriate place that's sourced at start-up:
gpg-connect-agent /bye
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, also add the settings
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh"
and make sure that
enable-ssh-support
is included in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.
The gpg-agent(1) man page has more details about this subject, i.e. in the
"EXAMPLES" section.
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.
- added numlock on boot switch
- simply add :
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.autoNumlock = true;
to configuration.nix and sddm will start
with numlock enabled.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions

- if xserver.tty and/or display are set to null, then don't specify
them, or the -logfile argument in the xserverArgs
- For lightdm, we set default tty and display to null and we determine
those at runtime based on arguments passed. This is necessary because
we run multiple X servers so they can't all be on the same display
These options allow setting the start and stop scripts for the display
manager. Making these configurable is necessary to allow some hardware
configurations. Upstream ships empty scripts by default, anyway.
