IPFS uses the environment variable IPFS_PATH to determine where to look for it's data, which wasn't set previously therefore ignoring the dataDir attribute
to /etc/dd-agent/conf.d by default, and make sure
/etc/dd-agent/conf.d is used.
Before NixOS 17.03, we were using dd-agent 5.5.X which
used configuration from /etc/dd-agent/conf.d
In NixOS 17.03 the default conf.d location is first used relative,
meaning that $out/agent/conf.d was used without NixOS overrides.
This change implements similar functionality as PR #25288, without
breaking backwards compatibility.
(cherry picked from commit 77c85b0ecbc1070d7adff31b339bede92e4193fa)
Provide the option forwardDns in virtualisation.xen.bridge, which
enables forwarding of DNS queries to the default resolver, allowing
outside internet access for the xen guests.
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.
However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.
This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:
* XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
* SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
* XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
taskbar on the primary monitor
These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.
The changes are also backwards-compatible.
This test exercises the linux_hardened kernel along with the various
hardening features (enabled via the hardened profile).
Move hidepid test from misc, so that misc can go back to testing a vanilla
configuration.
Adds an option `security.lockKernelModules` that, when enabled, disables
kernel module loading once the system reaches its normal operating state.
The rationale for this over simply setting the sysctl knob is to allow
some legitmate kernel module loading to occur; the naive solution breaks
too much to be useful.
The benefit to the user is to help ensure the integrity of the kernel
runtime: only code loaded as part of normal system initialization will be
available in the kernel for the duration of the boot session. This helps
prevent injection of malicious code or unexpected loading of legitimate
but normally unused modules that have exploitable bugs (e.g., DCCP use
after free CVE-2017-6074, n_hldc CVE-2017-2636, XFRM framework
CVE-2017-7184, L2TPv3 CVE-2016-10200).
From an aestethic point of view, enabling this option helps make the
configuration more "declarative".

Use a solid black background when no background image (via
~/.background-image) is provided. In my case this fixes the really
strange behaviour when i3 without a desktop manager starts with the SDDM
login screen as background image.
This eliminates a theoretical risk of ASLR bypass due to the fixed address
mapping used by the legacy vsyscall mechanism. Modern glibc use vdso(7)
instead so there is no loss of functionality, but some programs may fail
to run in this configuration. Programs that fail to run because vsyscall
has been disabled will be logged to dmesg.

The xsession script was called with inconsistent (depending on the
display managers) and wrong parameters. The main reason for this where
the spaces the parameter syntax. In order to fix this the old syntax:
$1 = '<desktop-manager> + <window-manager>'
Will be replaced with a new syntax:
$1 = "<desktop-manager>+<window-manager>"
This assumes that neither "<desktop-manager>" nor "<window-manager>"
contain the "+" character but this shouldn't be a problem.
This patch also fixes the quoting by using double quotes (") instead of
single quotes (') [0].
Last but not least this'll add some comments for the better
understanding of the script.

Upstream has decided to make -testing patches private, effectively ceasing
free support for grsecurity/PaX [1]. Consequently, we can no longer
responsibly support grsecurity on NixOS.
This patch turns the kernel and patch expressions into build errors and
adds a warning to the manual, but retains most of the infrastructure, in
an effort to make the transition smoother. For 17.09 all of it should
probably be pruned.

QEMU can allow guests to access more than one host core at a time.
Previously, this had to be done via ad-hoc arguments:
virtualisation.qemu.options = ["-smp 12"];
Now you can simply specify:
virtualisation.cores = 12;
It was asked by @CMCDragonkai to elaborate on that, so let's just do
this by actually providing a code comment.

The xrandrHeads option has been there since a long time, so there is no
need to advertise it as a new feature.
Instead, let's focus on just what has changed, which is that we now
assign one head to be primary.

Using invalid module options in the submodule isn't very nice, because
it doesn't give very useful errors in case of type mismatch, also we
don't get descriptions of these options as they're effecively
nonexistent to the module system. Another downside of this is that
merging of these options isn't done correctly as well (eg. for
types.lines).
So we now have proper submodules for each xrandrHead and we also use
corcedTo in the type of xrandrHeads so that we can populate the
submodule's "output" option in case a plain string is defined for a list
item.
Instead of silently skipping multiple primary heads, we now have an
assertion, which displays a message and aborts configuration evaluation
appropriately.

This changes much of the make-disk-image.nix logic (and thus most NixOS
image building) to use LKL to set up the target directory structure rather
than a Linux VM. The only work we still do in a VM is less IO-heavy stuff
that while still time-consuming, is less of the overall load. The goal is
to kill more of that stuff, but that will require deeper changes to NixOS
activation scripts and switch-to-configuration.pl, and I don't want to
bite off too much at once.

This is currently our default display manager, so I'm adding this to the
"tested" job as well to ensure we don't ship broken revisions where X is

The test uses a custom SLiM theme that's specifically tailored for good

The main change here is a patch of SLiM to tread a log file of
/dev/stderr specially in that it now uses std::cerr instead of a file
for logging.
This allows us to set the logfile to stderr in NixOS for the generated
SLiM configuration file and we now get logging to the systemd journal.

The idea is to provide a convenient way to enable most vanilla hardening
features in one go. The hardened profile, then, will serve as a place for
features that enhance security but cannot be enabled for all deployments
because they interfere with legitimate use cases (e.g., using ptrace to
debug problems in an already running process).

This has surfaced since d990aa7163.
The "simpleUefiGummiboot" installer test fails since this commit,
because that commit introduced a small check to verify whether the store
was altered.
While installing NixOS for the first time, the store is usually in
/mnt/nix/store and without the read-only bind mount that's preventing
programs from altering the store.
So after nixos-install is done creating the system closure and setting
it as the active system profile, the bootloader is written from the
closure inside the chroot. The systemd-boot-builder is invoked during
this step, which adds .pyc files for various Python modules of the
Python 3 store path, which in turn invalidates the hash of the Python 3
store path itself.
At the time the system is booted up again, the nix-store is verified and
fails with something like this:
path /nix/store/zvm545rqc4d97caqq9h7344bnd06jhzb-python3-3.5.3 was

The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.

This change fixes two major issues:
1. If you don't use SIGQUIT to stop Plex it will corrupt its own
database :(
2. Newer versions of Plex keep metadata in the
`com.plexapp.plugins.library.db` database. This is the file that
we copy into `/var/lib/plex/.skeleton`. If we copy the empty
database on top of this one the user will lose their entire
library metadata. This change skips the copy if the file
already exists.

This allows gitweb to expand '~' in /etc/gitconfig. Without a $HOME
variable, it fails to list any projects and instead show the text
"No such projects found" in the UI.
Setting $HOME to the gitweb project root seems like a sensible value.
This reverts commit 0a6a06346a.
The commit replaced the text to search for from ALICE to BOB, because
our OCR detection only caught "BOB FOOBAR" but missed "ALICE FOOBAR"
completely.
With the improvements to our OCR system this no longer is the case and
the test passes successfully with this reverted.

First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so
that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting
image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version
with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit
blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a
scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default.
As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which
further improves the quality of text recognition.
I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing
variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one
that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to
avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before.
In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate
file, solely using pipes.
I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot
* nixos/tests/lightdm.nix
* nixos/tests/plasma5.nix
* nixos/tests/sddm.nix
All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition
results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than
before this commit.

I've removed that attribute in 68bc260ca2,
because the language files no longer were distributed as seperate files,
but if we for example only want to use the English training data, the
closure size of Tesseract gets quite large (around 1.2 GB), which is a
bit much just to be able to run NixOS VM tests.
For this reason I've also switched the VM tests back to using only the
English language.
Tested using the following VM tests (the ones that have OCR enabled) on
x86_64-linux:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.5.
Mostly a bugfix release, no major backwards-incompatible changes.
Remove deprecated `UsePrivilegeSeparation` option,
which is now mandatory.
gyre-fonts provides high-quality TrueType substitutes for standard PostScript
fonts. Unlike most other distributions, NixOS does not install Ghostscript and
its Type 1 fonts by default, so we must get the standard fonts elsewhere.
For whatever reason, the OCR code is not detecting ALICE but is BOB.

The LUKS header can be on another device (e.g. a USB stick). In my case
it can take up to two seconds until the partition on my USB stick is
available (i.e. the decryption fails without this patch). This will also
remove some redundancy by providing the shell function `wait_target` and
slightly improve the output (one "." per second and a success/failure
indication after 10 seconds instead of always printing "ok").
Restarting them is useless since the filesystem is already
checked. Worse, restarting them causes the filesystem to be unmounted.
Also remove an override for systemd-rkill@.service which no longer
exists.
This reduces the time window during which IP addresses are gone during
switch-to-configuration. A complication is that with stopIfChanged =
true, preStop would try to delete the *new* IP addresses rather than
the old one (since the preStop script now runs after the switch to the
new configuration). So we now record the actually configured addresses
in /run/nixos/network/addresses/<interface>. This is more robust in
any case.

Unfortunately, somewhere between 16.09 and 17.03, paravirtualized

I don't have any real ideas on what could cause the problem but there is
at least one theoretical one: the system starts hibernating before the
listener process manages to open the TCP port for listening, and it can't
open it after resuming because not enough pages from the netcat binary
have been paged in (and as the 9p filesystem holding it is now toast,
they can't be loaded anymore).
Commit 75f131da02 added
`chown 'nginx:nginx' '/var/lib/acme'` to the pre-start script,
but since it doesn't use `chown -R`, it is possible that there
are older existing subdirs (like `acme-challenge`)
that are owned to `root` from before that commit went it.
AFAICT, this issue only occurs when sshd is socket-activated. It turns
out that the preStart script's stdout and stderr are connected to the
socket, not just the main command's. So explicitly connect stderr to
the journal and redirect stdout to stderr.
