Added the Pantheon desktop environment. It can be enabled

through

By default,
|
|
<literal>services.xserver.desktopManager.pantheon</literal>
|
|
enables LightDM as a display manager, as pantheon's screen
|
|
locking implementation relies on it. Because of that it is
|
|
recommended to leave LightDM enabled. If you'd like to
|
|
disable it anyway, set
|
|
<literal>services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable</literal>
|
|
to <literal>false</literal> and enable your preferred
|
|
display manager.

</para>

Also note that Pantheon's LightDM greeter is not enabled by

default, because it has numerous issues in NixOS and isn't

optimal for use here yet.

A major refactoring of the Kubernetes module has been
|
|
completed. Refactorings primarily focus on decoupling
|
|
components and enhancing security. Two-way TLS and RBAC has
|
|
been enabled by default for all components, which slightly
|
|
changes the way the module is configured. See:

The <literal>nscd</literal> service now disables all caching

|

databases by default. This was interferring with the correct

functioning of the <literal>libnss_systemd.so</literal> module
|
|
which is used by <literal>systemd</literal> to manage uids and
|
|
usernames in the presence of <literal>DynamicUser=</literal>
|
|
in systemd services. This was already the default behaviour in
|
|
presence of <literal>services.sssd.enable = true</literal>
|
|
because nscd caching would interfere with
|
|
<literal>sssd</literal> in unpredictable ways as well. Because
|
|
we're using nscd not for caching, but for convincing glibc to
|
|
find NSS modules in the nix store instead of an absolute path,
|
|
we have decided to disable caching globally now, as it's
|
|
usually not the behaviour the user wants and can lead to
|
|
surprising behaviour. Furthermore, negative caching of host
|
|
lookups is also disabled now by default. This should fix the
|
|
issue of dns lookups failing in the presence of an unreliable
|
|
network.

DNS-service now runs with 2 pod replicas by default. The

desired number of replicas can be configured using:

Flat volumes are now disabled by default in

With this change application specific volumes are relative

to the master volume which can be adjusted independently,

whereas before they were absolute; meaning that in effect,

it scaled the device-volume with the volume of the loudest

The <literal>intel</literal> driver has been removed from the

default list of
|
|
<link xlink:href="options.html#opt-services.xserver.videoDrivers">X.org
|
|
video drivers</link>. The <literal>modesetting</literal>
|
|
driver should take over automatically, it is better maintained
|
|
upstream and has less problems with advanced X11 features.
|
|
This can lead to a change in the output names used by
|
|
<literal>xrandr</literal>. Some performance regressions on

|
some GPU models might happen. Some OpenCL and VA-API

|
applications might also break (Beignet seems to provide OpenCL

support with <literal>modesetting</literal> driver, too).
|

Kernel mode setting API does not support backlight control, so

<literal>xbacklight</literal> tool will not work; backlight

level can be controlled directly via <literal>/sys/</literal>

functionality more than multi-output XRandR are advised to add

`intel` to `videoDrivers` and report an issue (or provide

additional details in an existing one)
