Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.
Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.
vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close#14139.
Most of the desktop environments will spawn pulseaudio, but we can instead simply run it as a systemd service instead.
This patch also makes the system wide service run in foreground as recommended by the systemd projects and allows it to use sd_notify to signal ready instead of reading a pid written to a file. It is now also restarted on failure.
The user version has been tested with KDE and works fine there.
The system-wide version runs, but I haven't actually used it and upstream does not recommend running in this mode.
This patch makes dbus launch with any user session instead of
leaving it up to the desktop environment launch script to run it.
It has been tested with KDE, which simply uses the running daemon
instead of launching its own.
This is upstream's recommended way to run dbus.
This reverts commit 45c218f893d38f94cd62fc256117b9fb1a0d1749.
Busybox's modprobe causes numerous "Unknown symbol" errors in the
kernel log, even though the modules do appear to load correctly.
NixOps has infrequent releases, so it's not the best place for keeping
the list of current AMIs. Putting them in Nixpkgs means that AMI
updates will be delivered as part of the NixOS channels.
I had the basic version of this laying around for some while but didn't
continue on it. Originally it was for testing support for the Neo layout
introduced back then (8cd6d53).
We only test the first three Neo layers, because the last three layers
are largely comprised of special characters and in addition to that the
support for the VT keymap seems to be limited compared to the Xorg
keymap.
Yesterday @NicolasPetton on IRC had troubles with the Colemak layout
(IRC logs: http://nixos.org/irc/logs/log.20160330, starting at 16:08)
and I found that test again, so I went for improving and adding to
<nixpkgs>.
While the original problem seemed to be related to GDM, we can still add
another subtest that checks whether GDM correctly applies the keyboard
layout. However I don't have a clue how to properly configure the
keyboard layout on GDM, at least not within the NixOS configuration.
The main goal of this test is not to test a complete set of all key
mappings but to check whether the keymap is loaded and working at all.
It also serves as an example for NixOS keyboard configurations.
The list of keyboard layouts is by no means complete, so everybody is
free to add their own to the test or improve the existing ones.

We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.

These two steps seem to fail intermittently with exit code 1. It isn't clear to me why, or what the issue is. Adding the `--verbose` option, hoping to capture some debugging information which might aid stabilization. Also: I was unable to replicate the failure locally.
This basic module allows you to specify the tmux configuration.
As great as tmux is, some of the defaults are pretty awful, so having a
way to specify the config really helps.
Systemd 229 sets kernel.core_pattern to "|/bin/false" by default,
unless systemd-coredump is enabled. Revert back to the default of
writing "core" in the current directory.
This reverts commit e8e8164f348a0e8655e1d50a7a404bdc62055f4e. I
misread the original commit as adding the "which" package, but it only
adds it to base.nix. So then the original motivation (making it work
in subshells) doesn't hold. Note that we already have some convenience
aliases that don't work in subshells either (such as "ll").
