Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.
Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.
vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close#14139.
Most of the desktop environments will spawn pulseaudio, but we can instead simply run it as a systemd service instead.
This patch also makes the system wide service run in foreground as recommended by the systemd projects and allows it to use sd_notify to signal ready instead of reading a pid written to a file. It is now also restarted on failure.
The user version has been tested with KDE and works fine there.
The system-wide version runs, but I haven't actually used it and upstream does not recommend running in this mode.
This patch makes dbus launch with any user session instead of
leaving it up to the desktop environment launch script to run it.
It has been tested with KDE, which simply uses the running daemon
instead of launching its own.
This is upstream's recommended way to run dbus.
This reverts commit 45c218f893.
Busybox's modprobe causes numerous "Unknown symbol" errors in the
kernel log, even though the modules do appear to load correctly.
NixOps has infrequent releases, so it's not the best place for keeping
the list of current AMIs. Putting them in Nixpkgs means that AMI
updates will be delivered as part of the NixOS channels.
I had the basic version of this laying around for some while but didn't
continue on it. Originally it was for testing support for the Neo layout
introduced back then (8cd6d53).
We only test the first three Neo layers, because the last three layers
are largely comprised of special characters and in addition to that the
support for the VT keymap seems to be limited compared to the Xorg
keymap.
Yesterday @NicolasPetton on IRC had troubles with the Colemak layout
(IRC logs: http://nixos.org/irc/logs/log.20160330, starting at 16:08)
and I found that test again, so I went for improving and adding to
<nixpkgs>.
While the original problem seemed to be related to GDM, we can still add
another subtest that checks whether GDM correctly applies the keyboard
layout. However I don't have a clue how to properly configure the
keyboard layout on GDM, at least not within the NixOS configuration.
The main goal of this test is not to test a complete set of all key
mappings but to check whether the keymap is loaded and working at all.
It also serves as an example for NixOS keyboard configurations.
The list of keyboard layouts is by no means complete, so everybody is
free to add their own to the test or improve the existing ones.

We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.

These two steps seem to fail intermittently with exit code 1. It isn't clear to me why, or what the issue is. Adding the `--verbose` option, hoping to capture some debugging information which might aid stabilization. Also: I was unable to replicate the failure locally.
This basic module allows you to specify the tmux configuration.
As great as tmux is, some of the defaults are pretty awful, so having a
way to specify the config really helps.
Systemd 229 sets kernel.core_pattern to "|/bin/false" by default,
unless systemd-coredump is enabled. Revert back to the default of
writing "core" in the current directory.
This reverts commit e8e8164f34. I
misread the original commit as adding the "which" package, but it only
adds it to base.nix. So then the original motivation (making it work
in subshells) doesn't hold. Note that we already have some convenience
aliases that don't work in subshells either (such as "ll").
Previously, the cisco resolver was used on the theory that it would
provide the best user experience regardless of location. The downsides
of cisco are 1) logging; 2) missing supoprt for DNS security extensions.
The new upstream resolver is located in Holland, supports DNS security,
and *claims* to not log activity. For users outside of Europe, this will
mean reduced performance, but I believe it's a worthy tradeoff.
When iodined tries to start before any interface other than loopback has an ip, iodined fails.
Wait for ip-up.target
The above is because of the following:
in iodined's code: src/common.c line 157
the flag AI_ADDRCONFIG is passed as a flag to getaddrinfo.
Iodine uses the function
get_addr(char *host,
int port,
int addr_family,
int flags,
struct sockaddr_storage *out);
to get address information via getaddrinfo().
Within get_addr, the flag AI_ADDRCONFIG is forced.
What this flag does, is cause getaddrinfo to return
"Name or service not known" as an error explicitly if no ip
has been assigned to the computer.
see getaddrinfo(3)
Wait for an ip before starting iodined.
Fixes#12794 by reverting the source tree splitup (c92dbff) to use the
source tarball directly into the main Chromium derivation and making the
whole source/ subdirectory obsolete. The reasons for this are explained
in 4f981b4f84.
This also now renames the "sources.nix" file to "upstream-info.nix",
which is a more proper name for the file, because it not only contains
"source code" but also the Chrome binaries needed for the proprietary
plugins (of course "source" could also mean "where to get it", but I
wanted to avoid this ambiguity entirely).
I have successfully built and tested this using the VM tests.
All results can be found here:

Assigning the channelMap by the function attrset argument at the
top-level of the test expression file may reference a different
architecture than we need for the tests.
So if we get the pkgs attribute by auto-calling, this will lead to test
failure because we have a different architecture for the test than for
the browser.

This has been the case before e45c211, but it turns out that it's very
useful to override the channel packages so we can run tests with
different Chromium build options.

* the major change is to set TARGETDIR=${vardir}, and symlink from
${vardir} back to ${out} instead of the other way around. this
gives CP more liberty to write to more directories -- in particular
it seems to want to write some configuration files outside of conf?
* run.conf does not need 'export'
* minor tweaks to CrashPlanDesktop.patch
The docker service is socket activated by default; thus,
`waitForUnit("docker.service")` before any docker command causes the
unit test to time out.
Instead, do `waitForUnit("sockets.target")` to ensure that sockets are
setup before running docker commands.
GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent works, and that new approach no
longer requires (or even supports) the "start everything as a child of the
agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older versions.
To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the following code to
~/.xsession or some other appropriate place that's sourced at start-up:
gpg-connect-agent /bye
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, also add the settings
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh"
and make sure that
enable-ssh-support
is included in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.
The gpg-agent(1) man page has more details about this subject, i.e. in the
"EXAMPLES" section.
This patch fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12927.
It would be great to configure good rate-limiting defaults for this via
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ratelimit and /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp/ratelimit,
too, but I didn't since I don't know what a "good default" would be.
Some users may wish to improve their privacy by using per-query
key pairs, which makes it more difficult for upstream resolvers to
track users across IP addresses.
- fix `enable` option description
using `mkEnableOption longDescription` is incorrect; override
`description` instead
- additional details for proper usage of the service, including
an example of the recommended configuration
- clarify `localAddress` option description
- clarify `localPort` option description
- clarify `customResolver` option description
Probably not many people care about i686-linux any more, but building
all these images is fairly expensive (e.g. in the worst case, every
Nixpkgs commit would trigger a few gigabytes of uploads to S3).
Previously this was done in three derivations (one to build the raw
disk image, one to convert to OVA, one to add a hydra-build-products
file). Now it's done in one step to reduce the amount of copying
to/from S3. In particular, not uploading the raw disk image prevents
us from hitting hydra-queue-runner's size limit of 2 GiB.
