Although double '/' in paths is not a problem for GRUB supplied with nixpkgs, sometimes NixOS's grub.conf read by external GRUB and there are versions of GRUB which fail
The switch from slim to lightdm in #30890 broke some nixos tests
because lightdm by default doesn't permit auto-login for root.
Override /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin to allow it.
The option was added in 1251b34b5b
with type `types.path` but default `null`, so eval failed with
the default setting. This broke the acme and certmgr tests.

This is the semantics as understood by `xdg-open`. Using these semantics
on a non-colon-separated variable works because it acts as if it was a
one element long list.
This fixes an issue where it would try to exec
`google-chrome-beta:google-chrome:chromium:firefox` on a system
configured with these semantics in mind.
The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While
one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install
rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy
settings for the nix-daemon are not configured.
This commit updates the documentation with
1. steps to install behind a proxy
2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access
internet.
3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy
settings on different networks.
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.
Based on #12516
The recommended TLS configuration comes with `ssl_stapling on` and
`ssl_stapling_verify on`. However, this last directive also requires
the use of `ssl_trusted_certificate` to verify the received answer.
When using `enableACME` or similar, we can help the user by providing
the correct value for the directive.
The result can be tested with:
openssl s_client -connect web.example.com:443 -status 2> /dev/null

A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
This allows one to add rules which change a packet's routing table:
iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING 1 -m set --match-set myset src -j MARK --set-mark 2
ip rule add fwmark 2 table 1 priority 1000
ip route add default dev wg0 table 1
to the beginning of raw table PREROUTING chain, and still have rpfilter.
DefaultTimeoutStartSec is normally set to 90 seconds and works fine. But
when running NixOS tests on a very slow machine (like a VM without
nested virtualisation support) this default is to low and causes
systemd units to fail spuriously. One symptom of this issue are tests
at times failing with "timed out waiting for the VM to connect".
Since the VM connect timeout is 300 seconds I also set
DefaultTimeoutStartSec to this which is ridiculously high.
The background color option is self-explanatory.
The mode is either `normal` or `stretch`, they are as defined by GRUB,
where normal will put the image in the top-left corner of the menu, and
stretch is the default, where it stretches the image without
consideration for the aspect ratio.

The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub
usage. This is to be fixed with new options in grub.
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB)
- coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools
- NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full
- *Support parameter defaults are moved inside
(it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`)
Closure considerations:
+ typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB
- typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB,
due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to
re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression
would get much more complex.
I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default
`coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many
trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild
impact of openssl from growing significantly.
The additions are:
- image/svg+xml for SVG images
- application/atom+xml for Atom feeds
These types are also present in mime.types. For better readability,
the list is sorted and formatted with one type per line.
This prevents issues when gitea adds new locales etc. And if they
change locale values in future versions. Or if you rollback to a
previous version of gitea it might be a good idea to use the previous
locale files.
This is a 277K (as of right now) addition that can greatly help in some
last recourse scenarios. The specific rEFInd setup will not be able to
boot the installer image, but this is not why it has been added. It has
been added to make use of its volumes scanning capabilities to boot
existing EFI images on the target computer, which is sometimes necessary
with buggy EFI. While is isn't NixOS's job to fix buggy EFI, shipping
this small bit with the installer will help the unlucky few.
Example scenario: two wildly different EFI implementation I have
encountered have fatal flaws in which they sometimes will lose all the
settings, this includes boot configuration. This is compounded by the
fact that the two specific and distinct implementation do not allow
manually adding ESP paths from their interface. The only recourse is to
let the EFI boot the default paths, EFI/boot/boot{platform}.efi, which
is not a default location used by the NixOS bootloaders. rEFInd is able
to scan the volumes and detect the existing efi bootloaders, and boot
them successfully.
Following up https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/23665
Bootable USB-drives are not limited to ISO-images, there can be "normal" MBR/GPT-partitioned disk connected via USB-rack.
Also, "uas" implies "usb-storage", so there is no need to mention both.
thermald has two modes: zero-config and manual. Sometimes it is useful
to manually configure thermald to achieve better thermal results or to give
thermald a hand when detecting possible cooling options.
I broke it:
in job ‘nixos.iso_graphical.x86_64-linux’:
The option `services.udisks2.enable' has conflicting definitions, in `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/profiles/installation-device.nix' and `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/plasma5.nix'.
And don't need to source the uevent files anymore either since $MAJOR
or $MINOR aren't used elsewhere.
[dezgeg: The reason these are no longer needed is that 0d27df280f
switched /tmp to a devtmpfs which automatically creates such device
nodes]
When rebuilding you have to manually run `systemctl --user
daemon-reload`. It gathers all authenticated users using
`loginctl list-user` and runs `daemon-reload` for each of them.
This is a first step towards a `nixos-rebuild` which is able to reload
user units from systemd. The entire task is fairly hard, however I
consider this patch usable as it allows to restart units without running
`daemon-reload` for each authenticated user.
This fixes an issue where setting both
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.editor` to `false` and
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.consoleMode` to any value would concatenate
the two configuration lines in the output, resulting in an invalid
`loader.conf`.
This allows the user to add `wpa_supplicant` config options not yet supported by Nix without having to write the entire `wpa_supplicant.conf` file manually.
Introduces an option `services.datadog-agent.extraIntegrations` that
can be set to include additional Datadog agent integrations from the
integrations-core repository.
Documentation and an example is provided with the change.
Relates to NixOS/nixpkgs#40399
Refactors the datadog-agent (i.e. V6) module to let users configure
arbitrary checks, not just a limited set, without having to resort to
linking the files manually and updating the systemd unit.
Checks are now configured via a `services.datadog-agent.checks` option
which takes an attribute set in which the keys refer directly to
Datadog check names, and the values are attribute sets representing
Datadog's configuration structure.
With this mechanism users can configure arbitrary integrations, for
example for the `ntp`-check, simply by saying:
services.datadog-agent.checks.ntp = {
init_config = null;
# ... other check configuration options as per Datadog
# documentation
};
The previous check-specific configuration options for non-default
checks have been removed. Disk & network check configuration options
have been kept rather than making them a `default`-value of the
`checks`-option because they will be overridden by user-configurations
in that case.
Relates to NixOS/nixpkgs#40399.
From reading the source I'm pretty sure it doesn't support multiple Yubikeys, hence
those options are useless.
Also, I'm pretty sure nobody actually uses this feature, because enabling it causes
extra utils' checks to fail (even before applying any patches of this branch).
As I don't have the hardware to test this, I'm too lazy to fix the utils, but
I did test that with extra utils checks commented out and Yubikey
enabled the resulting script still passes the syntax check.
Also reuse common cryptsetup invocation subexpressions.
- Passphrase reading is done via the shell now, not by cryptsetup.
This way the same passphrase can be reused between cryptsetup
invocations, which this module now tries to do by default (can be
disabled).
- Number of retries is now infinity, it makes no sense to make users
reboot when they fail to type in their passphrase.
Some modules of cloud-init can cope with a network not immediately
available (notably, the EC2 module), but some others won't retry if
network is not available (notably, the Cloudstack module).
network.target doesn't give much guarantee about the network
availability. Applications not able to start without a fully
configured network should be ordered after network-online.target.
Also see #44573 and #44524.
We override the ESP mount point in the config file /etc/fwupd/uefi.conf
(available since version 1.0.6), as it is set to a path in the nix store
during build time.
Tests are disabled as it needs /etc/os-release, which is not available
when building with sandboxing enabled.
In the last year `programs.oh-my-zsh` gained more complexity and since
the introduction of features like `customPkgs` which builds a
`ZSH_CUSTOM` path from a sequence of derivation a documentation may be
fairly helpful to make the knowledge how to use the module and how to
package new ZSH plugins visible.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410770432
First change is to override the nm-dispatcher systemd service so that
it puts coreutils (wc/env/...) and iproute in PATH.
Second change is to make sure userscripts have the execute bit.
This allows a developer to better identify in which snippet the
failure happened. Furthermore, users seeking help will have more
information available about the failure.
This reverts a change applied in PR #18491. When interfaces are
configured by DHCP (typical in a cloud environment), ordering after
network.target cause trouble to applications expecting some network to
be present on boot (for example, cloud-init is quite brittle when
network hasn't been configured for `cloud-init.service`) and on
shutdown (for example, collectd needs to flush metrics on shutdown).
When ordering after network.target, we ensure applications relying on
network.target won't have any network reachability on boot and
potentially on shutdown.
Therefore, I think ordering before network.target is better.
If multiple third-party modules shall be used for `oh-my-zsh` it has to
be possible to create another env which composes all the packages.
Now it can be done like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.zsh.enable = true;
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh = {
enable = true;
customPkgs = with pkgs; [
lambda-mod-zsh-theme
nix-zsh-completions
];
theme = "lambda-mod";
plugins = [ "nix" ];
};
}
```
Please keep in mind that this is not compatible with
`programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom`, only one of these options can be used
ATM.
Each package should store its outputs into
`$out/share/zsh/<output-name>`. Completions (and ZSH-only) extensions
should live in the `fpath` (`$out/share/zsh/site-functions`), plugins in
`.../plugins` and themes in `.../themes` (please refer to
fdb6bf6ed68c2f089ae6c729dfeaa3eddea2ce6a and 406d64aad162b3a4881747be4e24705fb5182573).
All scripts in `customPkgs` will be linked together using `linkFarm` to
provide a single directory for all scripts from all derivations in
`customPkgs` as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410396365.
The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
Broke evaluation of the nixos options.
The option `services.dysnomia' defined in `.../nixos/modules/rename.nix' does not exist.
This reverts commit 5c897b4eff.
Use nixos-fw chain instead of INPUT so that the rules don't keep
stacking everytime the firewall is reloaded.
This also adds a comment to each rule about the associated exporter.

`ocserv` is a VPN server which follows the openconnect protocol
(https://github.com/openconnect/protocol). The packaging is slightly
inspired by the AUR version
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocserv/).
This patch initializes the package written in C, the man pages and a
module for a simple systemd unit to run the VPN server. The package
supports the following authentication methods for the server:
* `plain` (mostly username/password)
* `pam`
The third method (`radius`) is currently not supported since `nixpkgs`
misses a packaged client.
The module can be used like this:
``` nix
{
services.ocserv = {
enable = true;
config = ''
...
'';
};
}
```
The option `services.ocserv.config` is required on purpose to
ensure that nobody just enables the service and experiences unexpected
side-effects on the system. For a full reference, please refer to the
man pages, the online docs or the example value.
The docs recommend to simply use `nobody` as user, so no extra user has
been added to the internal user list. Instead a configuration like
this can be used:
```
run-as-user = nobody
run-as-group = nogroup
```

Fixes#42594
The default session might be found in `extraSessionFilePackages`, but it's not
viable to detect at evaluation time, so emit a warning.
In LightDM instead of checking `defaultSessionName` against
`displayManager.session.names` we rely on the assertions in
`desktopManager` and `windowMananger` and just check that there's at least one
default set. The second assertion could never actually be triggered.
This makes it easier to support a wider variety of .desktop session files. In
particular this makes it possible to use both the «legacy» sessions and upstream
session files.
We separate `xsession` into two parts, `xsessionWrapper` and `xsession`.
`xsessionWrapper` sets up the correct environment and then lauches the session's
Exec command (from the .desktop file), falling back to launching the default
window/desktopManager through the `xsession` script (required by at least some
nixos tests).
`xsession` then _only_ handles launching desktop-managers/window-managers defined
through `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
Pass gnome-session to extraSessionFilePackages, remove unnecessary environment variables, move the rest out of old session option, and then drop the option.
GPaste GNOME Shell extension uses GPaste library generated via introspection. Previously, we added the gpaste package to services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome3.sessionPath option, which
added its typelib directory to GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable globally, in order for GNOME Shell to be able to find it. This is not very Nix-y, though, so we have decided to patch the code to
append the path to the GI repository search path.
Additionally, the code relies on GPaste’s GSettings schemas, so we had to hard-code the paths to them as well. We ignored the GNOME Shell’s schemas, since they will already be available for the
extension inside GNOME Shell program.
Previously, the mkDesktops function produced a flat package containing
session files in the top level. As a preparation for introduction of
Wayland sessions, the files will now be placed to $out/share/xsessions.
It seems like Gitlab doesn't pick up GITLAB_UPLOADS_PATH. The internal uploads
folder is already symlinked to /run/gitlab/uploads by the gitlab package. Here
we symlink this further to ${statePath}/uploads, since /run is (usually) a tmpfs.
* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2.
* `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is
a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree
"Elastic License".
* Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged
under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`.
Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.
* The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS
version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using:
`NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
Having socket-activated epmd means that there always be only a single
instance managed centrally. Because Erlang also starts it
automatically if not available, and in worst case scenario 'epmd' can
be started by some Erlang application running under systemd. And then
restarting this application unit will cause complete loss of names in
'epmd' (if other Erlang system are also installed on this host).
E.g. see at which lengths RabbitMQ goes to recover from such
situations:
7741b37b1e/src/rabbit_epmd_monitor.erl (L36)
Having the only one socket-activated epmd completely solves this
problem.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.

Problem: Restarting (stopping) system.slice would not only stop X11 but
also most system units/services. We obviously don't want this happening
to users when they switch from 18.03 to 18.09 or nixos-unstable.
Reason: The following change in systemd:
d8e5a93382
The commit adds system.slice to the perpetual units, which means
removing the unit file and adding it to the source code. This is done so
that system.slice can't be stopped anymore but in our case it ironically
would cause this script to stop system.slice because the unit file was
removed (and an older systemd version is still running).

When running e.g. `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` I get an output
like this on the current unstable channel (18.09pre144959.be1461fc0ab):
```
$ nixos-option boot.kernelPackages
Value:
*exit 1*
```
This is fairly counter-intuitive as I have no clue what might went
wrong. `strace` delivers an output like this:
```
read(3, "error: Package \342\200\230cryptodev-linu"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "ux/cryptodev/default.nix:22 is m"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "lowBroken = true; }\nin configura"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "you can add\n { allowBroken = tr"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "n)\n", 128) = 3
read(3, "", 128) = 0
```
`nixos-option` evaluates the system config using `nix-instantiate` which
might break when the evaluation fails (e.g. due to broken or unfree
packages that are prohibited to evaluate by default). The script aborts
due to the shebang `@shell@ -e`.
In order to ensure that no unexpected
behavior occurs due to removing `-e` from the interpreter the easiest
way to work around this was to wrap `nix-instantiate` in `evalNix()`
with a `set +e`. The function checks the success of the evaluation with
`$?` in the end. Additionally `evalNix` shouldn't break, if one
evaluation (e.g. the values that contain a package set by default) to
return additional information like a description.
With the change `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` delivers the
following output for me:
```

* nixos/virtualbox: Adds more options to virtualbox-image.nix

This change adds the ability to change the amount of memory

This adds configuration options which automate the configuration of NVIDIA Optimus using PRIME. This allows using the NVIDIA proprietary driver on Optimus laptops, in order to render using the NVIDIA GPU while outputting to displays connected only to the integrated Intel GPU. It also adds an option for enabling kernel modesetting for the NVIDIA driver (via a kernel command line flag); this is particularly useful together with Optimus/PRIME because it fixes tearing on PRIME-connected screens.
The user still needs to enable the Optimus/PRIME feature and specify the bus IDs of the Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, but this is still much easier for users and more reliable. The implementation handles both the X configuration file as well as getting display managers to run certain necessary `xrandr` commands just after X has started.
Configuration of commands run after X startup is done using a new configuration option `services.xserver.displayManager.setupCommands`. Support for this option is implemented for LightDM, GDM and SDDM; all of these have been tested with this feature including logging into a Plasma session.
Note: support of `setupCommands` for GDM is implemented by making GDM run the session executable via a wrapper; the wrapper will run the `setupCommands` before execing. This seemed like the simplest and most reliable approach, and solves running these commands both for GDM's X server and user X servers (GDM starts separate X servers for itself and user sessions). An alternative approach would be with autostart files but that seems harder to set up and less reliable.
Note that some simple features for X configuration file generation (in `xserver.nix`) are added which are used in the implementation:
- `services.xserver.extraConfig`: Allows adding arbitrary new sections. This is used to add the Device section for the Intel GPU.
- `deviceSection` and `screenSection` within `services.xserver.drivers`. This allows the nvidia configuration module to add additional contents into the `Device` and `Screen` sections of the "nvidia" driver, and not into such sections for other drivers that may be enabled.
This allows non-privileged users to configure local DNS
entries by editing hosts files read by NetworkManager's dnsmasq
instance.

and:

systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device.
This removes the device dependency for `lo` and fixes this bug.
Closes#7227
The deep merge caused all the options to be unset when generating docs, unless quagga was enabled.
Using imports, instead, properly allows the documentation to be generated.
The `.service` file defining the `systemd` unit for `autorandr.service`
which is bundled with the package itself uses `--default default` in the
`ExecStart` section. This can be an issue when having multiple layouts
(e.g. `default` as workstation layout I mostly work on and `mobile` when
I go somewhere else).
When the service gets restarted and `--default` can't be applied,
however the current layout can't be detected (e.g. when working with an
unknown beamer) the service silently fails with a message like this:
```

As discussed in the IRC (see https://botbot.me/freenode/nixos/2018-07-05/?msg=101791455&page=6)
it's a bad long-term solution in terms of maintenance to manually patch
the service file bundled with the derivation, instead the service shall
be configured declaratively. Additionally this makes possible overrides
from the user-space way easier.
The `udev` rule (in `$out/etc/udev/rules.d`) won't' be affected, it
simply runs `systemctl start autorandr.service` when e.g. a new display
is added, so now `udev` communicates with the NixOS systemd unit.
To update the plasma start menu `kbuildsyscoca5` needs to be executed.
There are several people complaining about missing applications in their
plasma start menu.
This patch adds a activationScript for plasma, that runs
`kbuildsyscoca5` for each user that has `isNormalUser` == `true`.
In fff5923686 all occurences of
users.extraUsers and users.extraGroups have been changed tree-wide to
users.users and users.group. In the meantime the hadoop modules were
introduced via #41381 (060a98e9f4).
Unfortunately those modules still use users.extraUsers, which has been
renamed a long time ago (14321ae243, about
three years from now), so let's actually rename it accordingly as well.

The order of sudoers entries is significant. The man page for sudoers(5)
notes:
Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is not
necessarily the most specific match).
This module adds a rule for group "wheel" matching all commands. If you
wanted to add a more specific rule allowing members of the "wheel" group
to run command `foo` without a password, you'd need to use mkAfter to
ensure your rule comes after the more general rule.
extraRules = lib.mkAfter [
{
groups = [ "wheel" ];
commands = [
{
command = "${pkgs.foo}/bin/foo";
options = [ "NOPASSWD" "SETENV" ];
}
]
}
];
Otherwise, when configuration options are merged, if the general rule
ends up after the specific rule, it will dictate the behavior even when
running the `foo` command.
- Introduce new "server" output holding the server binaries
- Adapt tsmbac.patch to new build environment
- Adapt openafs nixos server module accordingly
- Update upstream CellServDB: 2017-03-14 -> 2018-05-14
- Introduce package attributes to refer to the openafs packages to use for
server, programs and kernel module
