Nathaniel Baxter 7d4cd20ea4 nixos manual: Fix instruction for getting booted kernel confix 2014-08-17 16:10:10 +10:00
Eelco Dolstra a323d146b7 Add user attribute isNormalUser 
This is shorthand for setting group, createHome, home, useDefaultShell
and isSystemUser.

Eelco Dolstra 1a75958be5 Unify mutableUsers = { true, false } 
With mutableUsers = true, we now ensure that all users and groups that
were created declaratively, are updated or removed
appropriately. Thus, adding a user to users.extraUsers and then
removing it now causes the acoount to be removed from
/etc/passwd. Thus user/group management is fully congruent except that
users and groups that were created imperatively (via useradd/groupadd)
are not touched. We distinguish between declarative and imperative
users/groups by tracking the former in
/var/lib/nixos/declarative-{groups,users}.

With mutableUsers = false, you are now no longer required to specify
UIDs/GIDs for all users. The handling of mutableUsers = true/false is
the same code path; the only difference is that the "false" mode
ignores the existing contents of /etc/{passwd,group}.

The attribute ‘createUser’ is gone. It doesn't really make sense to
specify users that shouldn't be created.

Eelco Dolstra 3ef8d6ad5c nixos-install: Add operation --chroot 
"nixos-install --chroot" runs a command (by default a login shell) in
a chroot inside the NixOS installation in /mnt. This might useful for
poking around a new installation.

Eelco Dolstra 3fe96bcca1 Rename hardware.opengl.videoDrivers back to services.xserver.videoDrivers 
Fixes #2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.

Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’ 
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

nixos-generate-config: Add --show-hardware-config. 
So, we get the old behaviour of nixos-hardware-scane if we run the
following command:

nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --show-hardware-config

This allows to use scripts in order to fetch NixOS specific hardware
information, without the need to duplicate code elsewhere.

Having configuration.nix generation hidden underneath nixos-option
never made sense, also given that there was another command to
generate part of the configuration (nixos-hardware-scan).  Now
nixos-generate-config produces both configuration.nix and
hardware-configuration.nix.  The latter is overwritten while the
former is not.
