A sporadic failure occured on Hydra because a request was sent
to the daemon after the systemd unit was started, but before the
daemon was actually listening. Fix by checking for open port first.
Some programs like eog seem to need dconf accessible on dbus.
Without this change I get

This adds a release notes entry to make users (and especially
developers) aware so they no longer need to use </para><para> in option
descriptions as this is now done automatically on every two consecutive
newlines.

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
Generated reverse path filtering rules for the macvlan interface
seem to be incorrect, causing the test to fail - sometimes or always,
depending on the dhcpcd version used.
- Disable reverse path checking temporarily to avoid blocking the channel
- Print more diagnostic information for debugging
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.
What annoyed me for a long time was the fact, that in order to break
into a new paragraph, you need to insert </para><para> in the
description attribute of an option.
Now we will automatically create <para/> elements for every block that
is separated by two consecutive newlines.
I first tried to do this within options-to-docbook.xsl, but it turns
out[1] that this isn't directly possible with XSLT 1.0, so I added
another XSLT file that postprocesses the option descriptions that are
now enclosed in <nixos:option-description/> by options-to-docbook.xsl.
The splitting itself is a bit more involved, because we can't simply
split on every \n\n because we'd also split text nodes of elements, for
example:
<screen><![CDATA[
one line
another one
]]></screen>
This would create one <para/> element for "one line" and another for
"another line", which we obviously don't want because <screen/> is used
to display verbatim contents of what a user is seeing on the screen.
So what we do instead is splitting *only* the top-level text nodes
within the outermost <para/> and leave all elements as-is. If there are
more than one <para/> elements at the top-level, we simply don't process
it at all, because the description then already contains </para><para>.

The switch to lightdm as default display manager in #30890
broke eval of the flatpak test. Since the test uses the
auto display manager (lightdm), gdm must now be explicitly disabled.
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.
Since 1b11fdd0df the test VM
depends on some extra packages to build the system to be installed.
This broke the installer test as it tried to download/build these
packages in a sandbox.
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.
The test sporadically failed on hydra when a request was made
before the service was actually listening on its port.
Explicitly wait for the port to open.
Since matrix-synapse 0.33.0 underscores in server names are rejected
by server name validation, causing the test to fail:
valueError: Server name 'server_sqlite' contains invalid characters

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.

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.
