In general the man pages do not care what OS and manual they are shipped
with, so they don't get to choose the names of them. We were tempted to
do so, as we had inconsistently chosen OS names for the mandoc and
man-db/groff implementations. Since this has been rectified since, we
can just drop this boilerplate from the man pages.
We’ve been having trouble figuring out which kind of token to use and
why our setup would break every few system updates.
This should clarify which options there are, and which ones lead to
better results.
Ideally there would be a manual section that has a step-by-step guide
on how to set up the github runner, with screenshots and everything.
This builds on top of nixpkgs mainline 00d8347180
with the following two PRs cherry-picked:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/192670
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/192668
using the following command:
```
nix build -f nixos -L \
-I nixos-config=nixos/modules/installer/sd-card/sd-image-powerpc64le.nix \
config.system.build.sdImage
```
I was able to successfully boot the image, although it boots to a login prompt
rather than a shell, and won't accept the empty password for `root`. I guess
I'll have to figure out why that is.
To boot the image: `zstd`-decompress the it, mount it, and use `kexec`:
```
cd boot/nixos
kexec -l \
*-vmlinux \
--initrd *-initrd \
--dt-no-old-root \
--command-line="$(grep APPEND ../extlinux/extlinux.conf | sed 's_^ *APPEND *__')"
```
The machine I used for testing has only one storage device which is completely
allocated to LVM. It appears that the NixOS ISO loader doesn't look for
partition tables within LVM volumes. To work aroundn this, I had to extract the
`ext4` image within the partition table within the `sd-card` image and put that
in its own LVM volume. This likely won't be an obstacle for users who write the
image to a USB stick or similar.
Upstream has officially abandoned the project as of 2021 [0], there's been
no release since 2016, it uses the EoL Qt 4, and alternatives like
KeePassXC exist.
Also move KeePassXC to its own directory -- it doesn't make sense to
have it in KeePassX's folder anymore.

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.
the old method of pasting parts of options.json into a markdown document
and hoping for the best no longer works now that options.json contains
more than just docbook. given the infrastructure we have now we can
actually render options.md properly, so we may as well do that.
Provide a module to configure Coqui TTS, available as `tts` in nixpkgs
for a few releases already.
The module supports multiple servers in parallel, so multiple languages
and testing scenarios can be covered, without affecting any production
usage.
The test was failing because it was timing out. Turns out it was waiting
for `foo.kdbx`, which couldn't be "seen" even if it actually existed
(probably some contrast issues with the theme and OCR couldn't find it).
Fixed it by delegating the check to the next screen, where the full path
to the file is displayed in a bigger size. The test seems to pass.
Injecting configuration specific dependencies into the
propagatedBuildInputs of the home-assistant package forces alot of
rebuilds while setting up home-assistant, which is annoying.
By passing optional dependencies into home-assistant via the systemd
units PYTHONPATH environment variable, only he concatenation of
library paths in the systemd unit requires a rebuild.
This also means users can rely heavily on the cached home-assistant
package and will rarely have to build from source, if ever.
Prepare the tests for a change in dependency handling, by not relying on
bespoke files dropped into the package output.
Instead we now check the journal log for whether a configured component
was setup, once for the initial specialisation another time for the one
introducing esphome configuration.
Also improve abstractions for getting journal data relative to a cursor
and generally make a few things more concise.
