This reverts commit 1e543984bc.
This would have been nice if we had had it from the start, but now it
just breaks things for existing users. Maybe we can add it conditionally
when new postgres versions come out.

desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
The user should specify which major version to use
(e.g. "services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92"). We can't
really provide a sensible default, because such a default would have
to be updated from time to time, and there is no automated upgrade
procedure. So leave upgrading to the user.
As @edolstra pointed out, this behavior is not equivalent to what we had
before as the kernel command line parameter won't take effect until the
next boot. Probably it's not likely that someone will make this change
and then add a network card before rebooting, but might as well support
that since we can.

Using /etc/lighttpd.conf "hides" the config file from NixOS so that it
will not automatically restart the service when its config file changes.
So don't do that.
I think it's nice that it first asks the usual password, and then offers the
otpw one if enabled. That enables dovecot to show the last pam prompt.
I also add the dovecot option for that.
More specifically, this removes services.pulseaudio and adds the option
hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide which defaults to false but can be used to turn
on the system-wide PulseAudio server (previously defined in
services.pulseaudio). Since the two PulseAudio modes are mutually exclusive
anyway (maybe not strictly true, but I don't think is a good idea combining
them) its nicer to be able to reuse server and ALSA configuration between them.
Also the system-wide PulseAudio service has been adjusted to systemd, and a few
things has been fixed (there was no alsa.conf before, for example).
The bottomline is that people that was using hardware.pulseaudio before should
be able to keep doing it in exactly the same way, and people that used
services.pulseaudio must switch over to hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide instead.
The smartd used to expect a list of devices to monitor. After this patch, it
expects a list of attribute sets, which may have two attributes:
- device: path to the device (required)
- options: smartd options to apply to this particular device (optional)
A concrete example configuration would be:
services.smartd = {
enable = true;
devices = [ { device = "/dev/sda"; } { device = "/dev/sdb"; options = "-d sat"; } ];
};
Furthermore, the config option 'deviceOpts' can be used to configure options
that are applied to *every* device.
Enable it with
services.transmission.enable = true;
and optionally configure it
services.transmission.settings =
{
download-dir = "/srv/torrents/";
incomplete-dir = "/srv/torrents/.incomplete/";
incomplete-dir-enabled = true;
rpc-whitelist = "127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*";
# for users in group "transmission" to have access to torrents
umask = 2;
};
The above settings are written/merged into settings.json each time the
service is about to start.
Newer kernels (since torvalds/linux@abb139e75c) try to
read firmware directly from the filesystem before falling back to a
userspace helper (udev) if firmware cannot be found (in even newer
kernels, the fallback path can be disabled altogether). By default, only
certain paths in /lib/firmware* are searched, so this was initially not
helpful for NixOS.
Since torvalds/linux@2760284206 (which,
based on the commit message, was implemented just for NixOS, go us!),
though, an extra path can be dynamically prepended to the search path.
So do that, in three ways:
1. Pass a kernel command line option in case the module is built-in
2. Add a line to modprobe.conf in case the module isn't yet loaded by
activation-time
3. Add an activation script to set the option in /sys in case the module
is already loaded by activation-time.

Adds "vmware" to list of default options of
services.xerver.videoDrivers.
new default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" "vmware" ]
old default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" ]
