The single option tries to do too much work, which just ends up confusing people.
So:
- don't force the console font, the kernel can figure this out as of #210205
- don't force the systemd-boot mode, it's an awkward mode that's not supported
on most things and will break flicker-free boot
- add a separate option for the xorg cursor scaling trick and move it under the xorg namespace
- add a general `fonts.optimizeForVeryHighDPI` option that explicitly says what it does
- alias the old option to that
- don't set any of those automatically in nixos-generate-config
Some environments do not load /etc/profile, so environment.variables do
not work. In particular, this is the case for Plasma Wayland.
Use environment.sessionVariables for setting that variable instead,
which is handled by PAM and hence more reliable.
GDM and LightDM are already using this approach. It also allows us to
enable Kwallet integration more globally without generating stray PAM
services.
The default configuration of login service includes both options sddm
was setting explicitly.
This removes two unused service configs from /etc/pam.d/ and, more
importantly, reduces confusion.
* kdm no longer exists in nixpkgs
* `pam.d/gdm` is not used by gdm
* `pam.d/lightdm` IS used by lightdm but hardcoded using .text rather
than attrset+template.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
productname, application, acronym, guilabel, and guibutton were so far
not rendered specially and can go away completely.
replaceable does render differently, but since it was only used twice
and in places where the intent should be clear without the extra markup
it can go as well.
markdown cannot represent those links. remove them all now instead of in
each chapter conversion to keep the diff for each chapter small and more
understandable.
mkAliasOptionModule should not default to mdDoc descriptions because
that can break out-of-tree users of documentation infrastructure. add an
explicitly-MD variant for now, to be removed some time after the MD
transition is complete.
Mostly all mint app looks for xapp-* icons, while some icon themes do provide them,
mint-y-* does not. We are just going the laziest way here to install xapp globally
to get those icons.
`xdg-desktop-portal-kde` expects PipeWire to be running, so we enable it by
default, but we don't replace PulseAudio. The user may disable it against our
default, if desired.
Hided home/trash/network desktop icons by default.
Also changed their default logo settings (cs_info and menu), so what we
should modify to cinnamon-symbolic is now linuxmint-logo-ring-symbolic.
We are lucky, linuxmint-logo-ring-symbolic only appears in a few other
places and non of them are useful, menu@cinnamon.org/settings-override.json
simply won't work because cinnamon-common doesn't know that file.
Also set default cursor theme, this package now directly provides those
cursor themes. And, we now default to the Mint-Y-Aqua theme.
This makes it possible to remove mint themes in an easy way, in this
case we will just use the default from slick-greeter module, i.e. the
Adwaita theme.
i based this on the neighboring lightdm-greeters/mini.nix module.
lightdm-mobile-greeter doesn't have a lot of configuration options.
it grabs the default user to login as from lightdm, along with which DE
it should launch. so no further configuration should be needed aside
from enabling `services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable` and
either setting `services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession` to the
appropriate session or explicitly defining a seat like:
```nix
services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.extraSeatDefaults = ''
user-session = phosh
'';
```
Commit
4832352d02
replaced the plasma5 session startup
script with its upstream version from the
`pkgs.libsForQt5.plasma5.plasma-workspace` package.
In the course of doing so, the old session startup script
wasn't removed, but got moved into the display manager
startup shell commands option `displayManager.setupCommands`.
This now causes those commands to be executed
whenever the configured display manager starts.
The old startup script performed some basic
initializations in the user's home directory.
With the new arrangement, the old startup script is run with
HOME=/, leading to a lot of clutter in the root filesystem
(entries like `/.config` or `/.gitrc-2.0`).
The commit at hand simply removes the
old session startup script completely,
and with it a lot of now unused code from the plasma5 module.
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/split-and-rename-of-chrome-gnome-shell/11075815ec9e1af...v42.0
- Renamed and split into a separate repo from the extensions.
- CMake build replaced with Meson (jq also not needed)
- requests Python module not needed since updates are now solely handled by GNOME Shell itself
Also
- Corrected license
- Cleaned up the module
- Replaced PYTHONPATH in a wrapper by Python environment
Changelog-Reviewed-By: Jan Tojnar <jtojnar@gmail.com>
This will clean up the module slightly and bring it more in line with Pantheon & Cinnamon.
While at it do some other refactoring inspired by those modules:
- Correct a typo in light background attribute name.
- Rename the attribute name.
- Quote arguments.
- Extract the overridden package list and override text into variables.
- Avoid having separate copy commands for overrides from packages.
- Avoid `with` statements.
- Use `concatMapStringsSep`.
most of these are hidden because they're either part of a submodule that
doesn't have its type rendered (eg because the submodule type is used in
an either type) or because they are explicitly hidden. some of them are
merely hidden from nix-doc-munge by how their option is put together.
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

This option is based on a recommendation from a page last updated in
2014 (see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/), and it
is not necessary anymore.
Also, it did the wrong thing: it forced DRI2, but Glamor should also
work with DRI3, that is a better option most of the time. So let's
remove this option, folks that still want to force this manually can do
so in other ways.
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).
Other popular distros (OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch) read $HOME/.profile when starting X11 display managers.
When moving to nixOS, that is then broken leading to unpredictable behavior (probably programs not working).
This adds similar behavior to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession
Related to #185979
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.
Upstream XMonad was using our xmonad patch file for their flake build to
support our nixos module. This would of course break the build upstream
if the version we patched and their master branch diverged. We
[discussed] that it'd make sense to upstream the environment var code.
In the process it seemed sensible to rename the NIX_GHC variable as
well, since it isn't really Nix-specific – it's just a way to set the
GHC binary to execute. This change has been [implemented] upstream in an
unreleased version of xmonad now – meaning we'll be able to drop the
xmonad patch soon!
This also clarifies the situation in nixpkgs a bit: NIX_GHC is easy to
confuse with the environment variable used in the ghcWithPackages
wrapper where it is used to set an alternative prefix for a GHC-wrapper
for applications trying to discover it via e.g. ghc-paths. It is an
implementation detail in this context, as it is in the case of the
xmonad module. Since they are different implementations doing different
things, different names also make sense.

our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
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.
Running `nixos/tests/keepassxc.nix` shows:
```

```
This garbled bash script runs without `set -o errexit` and thus skips
"\n\n" as invalid command:
```
$ cat -n /nix/store/2g2jx5c6x3p152wbiijr0rmky7byqivc-xsession

...
```
KeePassXC uses it through
`nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/default.nix`:
```

desktop manager script: start properly
Adds a missing line feed when X is enabled to the start script name

```
I have not tried to reproduce the original issue and thus don't know
why "\n\n" apparently gets interpreted fine in one place but remains
literal the `xsession` case.
However, using a literal newline must be valid for all cases and
certainly fixes the warning seen in KeePassXC tests.
Furthermore, starting the nix string (`''`) with a newline as usual also
fixes its overall indentation.
- Add a module for the thunar file manager, which depends on the xfconf dbus service, and also has a dbus service and a systemd unit.
- Renames the option services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins to programs.thunar.plugins.

Recent `wrapGAppsHook` change stops `adwaita-icon-theme` from being added to `XDG_DATA_DIRS`:
b1e73fa2e0
Since `display-manager.service` does not have `/run/current-system/sw/share` in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`, it does not pick up the globally installed icon theme either, preventing icons from showing.
Let’s make Adwaita available to fix that for now.

network-manager-applet uses differrent naming scheme from the VPN plug-ins.
Let’s revert to the previous state, for now, to fix eval. We can do the rename later.
This reverts commit cecb014d5d.
There is no need to install them when they will not be picked up
by the Appearance panel of GNOME Control Center without
a XML metadata file anyway.
They will be pulled into the closure via overrides
so that is not a concern either.
This reverts commit 7f3bc5b8fa.
This reverts commit fa607bc939.
`fcitx5` and `service.earlyoom` rely on use XDG autostart files to start.
But for X session with only window manager and no desktop manager
(`none` is used), no one can start them.
This options is added to run these autostart files for sessions without
desktop manager to make other services just work.
GNOME 42 needs two wallpaper pictures – for the default (light)
colour scheme and for the dark one. Because we are clearing out
the paths in `gsettings-desktop-schemas` to prevent closure
from bloating, we need to set them in the NixOS module.
Since the wallpaper for the default colour scheme is dark,
will relegate it to the dark colour scheme and switch
to a light blue variant for the default colour scheme.
That one has inverted roundel for the NixOS logo but
it is the only light-ish background that has the logo
of the same size and placing as the dark wallpaper.
Commit 7addb1c0ec disabled this as a
side effect of switching gnome-terminal to gnome-console, but it’s
still useful for gnome-console.

GNOME Shell 42 switched an icon for the accessibility menu in the top panel
to one from gnome-control-center instead of a legacy one from adwaita-icon-theme:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2155
Let’s add that dependency to the systemd unit since installing it
through `environment.systemPackages` is not enough due to environment isolation.
Sendto device selection is removed in gnome-bluetooth 42.
I decide it is not worth to maintain a legacy gnome-bluetooth
package for the contract.
This should also be broken in elementary OS 7.
