Icon caches should be generated for directories under $out/share/icons, as the comments mention, but it is done for files as well which does not make the build fail but results in files under $out/share/icons being turned into empty directories, see /run/current-system/sw/share/icons/gnome-logo-text.svg as an example.
Fixes a deadlock where post-resume.target has After=post-resume.service
and post-resume.service runs systemctl try-restart post-resume.target
the systemctl call cannot complete if post-resume.target was already
queued at that time.
This reverts commit 05958b228b49cfe97f7faf51de4aaf3ede31894e.
Issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/188998 is concerns quite a
few NixOS users with full disk encryption and custom keymap.
Since there hasn't been a proper fix agreed upon and merged, I am
reverting this.
The changes can be applied again, when it is ensured that they do not
break custom keymaps in initrd.
Prior to this change, ffmpeg couldn't be built for an
environment.noXlibs system, because it would fail in:
ffmpeg → SDL2 → libdecor
ffmpeg certainly does not need support for SDL2 windowing on a noXlibs
system.
This fix is important because the minidlna NixOS test, which uses the
minimal profile (and therefore environment.noXlibs) and ffmpeg, can't
currently build.
The primary difference between the standard and minimal variants of
this package is that all the X libraries are removed from the minimal
variant.
I had to switch the order of the definitions in all-packages.nix to
avoid an infinite recursion after the overlay was applied.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
mostly no rendering changes. some lists (like simplelist) don't have an
exact translation to markdown, so we use a comma-separated list of
literals instead.
this renders the same in the manpage and a little more clearly in the
html manual. in the manpage there continues to be no distinction from
regular text, the html manual gets code-type markup (which was probably
the intention for most of these uses anyway).
According to pulseaudio(1), a system wide pulseaudio instance
can only be accessed by members of the `pulse-access` group.
This name seems to be hardcoded in
pulseaudio -- I didn't find any switch to change it.
We need to define the group so users can connect to the deamon.
This commit also fixes the systemwide pulseaudio vm test:
Previously, the test user `alice`
was just a member of the `audio` group.
This blocked access to the daemon and failed the test.
The commit changes the group assignment and fixes the vm test.
now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
make (almost) all links appear on only a single line, with no
unnecessary whitespace, using double quotes for attributes. this lets us
automatically convert them to markdown easily.
the few remaining links are extremely long link in a gnome module, we'll
come back to those at a later date.
we can't embed syntactic annotations of this kind in markdown code
blocks without yet another extension. replaceable is rare enough to make
this not much worth it, so we'll go with «thing» instead. the module
system already uses this format for its placeholder names in attrsOf
paths.
markdown can't represent the difference without another extension and
both the html manual and the manpage render them the same, so keeping the
distinction is not very useful on its own. with the distinction removed
we can automatically convert many options that use <code> tags to markdown.
the manpage remains unchanged, html manual does not render
differently (but class names on code tags do change from "code" to "literal").
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
The suspend-then-hibernate functionality is implemented by systemd in
the suspend-then-hibernate.target, separately from suspend.target and
hibernate.target. Thus post-resume would not run after resuming from
suspend-then-hibernate.
Fix this by explicitly making post-resume run after
suspend-then-hibernate.
It was never meant to be used for anything other than testing
and setting it globally can cause weird loops in GTK-based portals,
where the portal will end up waiting for itself until it times out.

Or it can mess up fonts:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/155291#issuecomment-1166199585
Having the option in NixOS makes it look like it is okay or even
desirable to enable, when in fact it is a hack that can subtly break apps.
Some apps allow opting into using portal-based APIs, e.g. for Firefox,
you can set `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker` to `1` in about:config.
Otherwise, you can set the `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable to 1
for individual apps.
People who really want it and aware of the downsides can just set
`environment.sessionVariables.GTK_USE_PORTAL = "1";` NixOS option
directly to set the environment variable globally.
More nixpkgs code such as `boot.initrd.systemd.emergencyAccess` defines
options that takes hashed passwords, so move the type definition from
modules/ into lib/.
The type definition itself stays unchanged.
`console.{font,keyMap}` may be a path or a string to a store path,
which should be added to initrd for `systemd-vconsole-setup` before
the prompt for the LUKS password.
For systems without internet connections, it doesn't make sense to
require the existence of an /etc/resolv.conf file to disable
resolvconf, so let's expose networking.resolveconf.enable as a public
option that can be set to false.
Previously we allocated subuids automatically for all normal users.
Make this explicitly configurable, so that one can use this for system
users too (or explicitly disable for normal users). Also don't allocate
automatically by default if a user already has ranges specified statically.
Just setting the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT should be enough, so we don't need to
rebuild the xserver, xkbcomp and other packages anymore.
However, the variable has to be passed explicitely to scripts running at
build time: in particular to xkbvalidate and xkb-console-keymap.
Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.
Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.
Most desktop environments manage the cursor using the Xcursor library
by default; this comes with scalable or multiple-sized cursor themes.
However, when running just a simple WM (twm, bspwm, ...) the cursor
handling is left to the X server, which uses a very simple fixed bitmap
font (this is called a "core" cursor). The font is uncomfortably small
on a high DPI display and must be replaced with a saner default.
Up until recently[1] it used to be possible to change the font on the
xserver command line, however the font name is now hardcoded. It's still
possible to change it, though: here I override the `fontcursormisc`
package and set an alias that points to a vector variant of the original
cursor font. The font size is set to match the standard cursor
dimensions on a 96dpi display. It's not perfect but it's a very simple
and effective solution.

This change makes it so that accessing config.users.groups.*.members isn't
empty by default, but instead contains all the users whose `extraGroups`
includes that group, allowing fancy things like
{ config, ... }: {
users.groups.libvirt.members = config.users.groups.wheel.members;
}
to add all users in the wheel group to the libvirt group
- The order of NSS (host) modules has been brought in line with upstream
recommendations:
- The `myhostname` module is placed before the `resolve` (optional) and `dns`
entries, but after `file` (to allow overriding via `/etc/hosts` /
`networking.extraHosts`, and prevent ISPs with catchall-DNS resolvers from
hijacking `.localhost` domains)
- The `mymachines` module, which provides hostname resolution for local
containers (registered with `systemd-machined`) is placed to the front, to
make sure its mappings are preferred over other resolvers.
- If systemd-networkd is enabled, the `resolve` module is placed before
`files` and `myhostname`, as it provides the same logic internally, with
caching.
- The `mdns(_minimal)` module has been updated to the new priorities.
If you use your own NSS host modules, make sure to update your priorities
according to these rules:
- NSS modules which should be queried before `resolved` DNS resolution should
use mkBefore.
- NSS modules which should be queried after `resolved`, `files` and
`myhostname`, but before `dns` should use the default priority
- NSS modules which should come after `dns` should use mkAfter.
