The fwupd daemon refuses to start when there is an uefi_capsule key without any
values in the config file, so I modified the module to only include this
key when there are actually values that go inside.
Was introduced in dde6a4f397532bbd01b346466ea751e7c3cd9d06
but it doesn't work on my machine:
fwupdmgr[439074]: Failed to connect to daemon: The connection is closed
Creating a persistent user does work however
This setting was renamed and moved to the main config file in fwupd 1.8.5:
5d38e0aeea
Without this patch, fwupd tries to migrate the config and crashes when it meets the immutable:
FuEngine migrating OverrideESPMountPoint=/boot to EspLocation
Failed to load daemon: failed to load engine: Failed to create file ?/etc/fwupd/daemon.conf.6HZBZ1?: Read-only file system
The setting was first introduced to the module in 08547ff642 to override the store paths set during build.5d38e0aeea
We are building fwupd daemon with polkit support which means
polkit daemon is required.
Previously polkit was enabled by default via udisks2 but that
stopped with f763710065
breaking the fwupd installed tests as a result.
Let’s add the polkit dependency to the fwupd module to ensure polkit is available.
In version 1.5.5 of fwupd the uefi plugin was renamed to
uefi-capsule. As part of those changes the configuration file was
renamed and changed.
This modules configuration mismatch was generally hidden because
when udisks2 is enabled fwupd will use that instead. Without
udisks2 the following warning is seen:
WARNING: UEFI ESP partition not detected or configured
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.
We need to keep the passthru.filesInstalledToEtc and passthru.defaultBlacklistedPlugins in sync with the package contents so let's add a test to enforce that.
invalid test was introduced in 297d1598ef
and it is disabled in the shipped daemon.conf.
I forgot to reflect that in the module, which caused the daemon to print the following on start-up:
FuEngine invalid has incorrect built version invalid
and the command to warn:
WARNING: The daemon has loaded 3rd party code and is no longer supported by the upstream developers!
To reduce the change of this happening in the future, I moved the list of default disabled plug-ins to the package expression.
I also set the value of the NixOS module option in the config section of the module instead of the default value used previously,
which will allow users to not care about these plug-ins.
Don't add the testing "webcam" device,
which is unexpected to see when querying
what devices fwupd believes exist :).
Won't change behavior for anyone defining
the blacklistPlugin option already,
but doesn't seem worth making more complicated.
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.
