before:
- /var/run/memcached is a bad default for a socket path, since its
parent directory must be writeable by memcached.
- Socket directory was not created by the module itself -> this was
left as a burden to the user?
- Having a static uid with a dynamic user name is not very useful.
after:
- Replace services.memcached.socket by a boolean flag. This simplifies
our code, since we do not have to check if the user specifies a
path with a parent directory that should be owned by memcached
(/run/memcached/memcached.sock -> /run/memcached).
- Remove fixed uid/gid allocation. The only file ever owned by the
daemon is the socket that will be recreated on every start.
Therefore user and group ids do not need to be static.
- only create the memcached user, if the user has not specified a
different one. The major use case for changing option is to allow
existing services (such as php-fpm) opening the local unix socket.
If we would unconditionally create a user that option would be
useless.
apps.plugin requires capabilities for full process monitoring. with
1.9.0, netdata allows multiple directories to search for plugins and the
setuid directory can be specified here.
the module is backwards compatible with older configs. a test is
included that verifies data gathering for the elevated privileges. one
additional attribute is added to make configuration more generic than
including configuration in string form.
It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```
Instead of polluting the environment with environment variables which
are inherited by processes spawned from awesome, use the command line
argument "--search" to add things to the search path.

This enables znapzend users to specify its full configuration through
NixOS options, without ever needing to use the stateful `znapzendzetup`
command.
This works by running znapzendzetup with the specified config in
ExecPre, just before the znapzend daemon is started.
There is also the `pure` option which will clear all previous znapzend setups,
making it as stateless as can get, as only the setup declared in
configuration.nix will be persisted.
* bemenu: init at 2017-02-14
* velox: 2015-11-03 -> 2017-07-04
* orbment, velox: don't expose subprojects
the development of orbment and velox got stuck
their subprojects (bemenu, dmenu-wayland, st-wayland) don't work correctly outside of parent projects
so hide them to not confuse people
swc and wld libraries are unpopular and unlike wlc are not used by anything except velox
* pythonPackages.pydbus: init at 0.6.0
* way-cooler: 0.5.2 -> 0.6.2
* nixos/way-cooler: add module
* dconf module: use for wayland
non-invasive approach for #31293
see discussion at #32210
* sway: embed LD_LIBRARY_PATH for #32755
* way-cooler: switch from buildRustPackage to buildRustCrate #31150
This makes the commonHook option work also for (read-only) Nix store
paths. Currently it fails on the second activation, because the
destination is read-only.
Currently libvirt requires two qemu derivations: qemu and qemu_kvm which is just a truncated version of qemu (defined as qemu.override { hostCpuOnly = true; }).
This patch exposes an option virtualisation.libvirtd.qemuPackage which allows to choose which package to use:
* pkgs.qemu_kvm if all your guests have the same CPU as host, or
* pkgs.qemu which allows to emulate alien architectures (for example ARMV7L on X86_64), or
* a custom derivation
virtualisation.libvirtd.enableKVM option is vague and could be deprecate in favor of virtualisation.libvirtd.qemuPackage, anyway it does allow to enable/disable kvm.

feh is used to set background image for desktop managers that do not
support it directly, however there is no need to include it in PATH.
Fixes#17450.
Users were confused that the error message said config.networking.hostId, and indeed that did nothing to fix their problem.
Update the error message to specify the option they should actually set.
Now there are separate `xfce4.xfce4mixer_pulse` and `xfce4.xfcevolumed_pulse` attributes for PulseAudio versions of these packages, instead of relying on Nixpkgs option. Mind that xfce4-volumed and xfce4-volumed-pulse are actually two separate programs without much overlap.
Fakeroot seems to always give the owner write bit to any files touched
inside it (presumably to easily simulate the fact that root can still
modify such files). So do an explicit chmod to remove them.
This should finally solve #32242 after the EC2 images are regenerated
with this change.

Without this, when you've enabled networkmanager and start a
nixos-container the container will briefly have its specified IP
address but then networkmanager starts managing it causing the IP
address to be dropped.
* Add options:
- enable
- davUser (default: "davfs2")
- davGroup (default: "davfs2)
* Add davfs2 user or group if they are not specified in the
configuration
As described in detail here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/32533
bash will load completion scripts in $p/share/bash-completion/completions/ on
startup instead of letting bash-completion do it's lazy loading. Bash startup
will then slow down (very noticeable when bash-completion is installed in a
profile).
This commit leaves loading of scripts in the hands of bash-completion,
improving startup time for everyone using `enableCompletion`.
fixes#32533
In commit ec9dc73 restarting NetworkManager after resume from
suspend/hibernate was introduced.
When I initially switch to NixOS I started noticing a high delay between
wakeup and re-connecting to WiFi & wired networks. The delay increased
from a few seconds (on my previous distro, same software stack) to
almost half a minute with NixOS.
I (locally) applied the change in this commit a few weeks ago and tested
since then. The notebook/mobile device experience has improved a lot.
Reconnects are as before switching to NixOS.
Issue #24401 could be related to this. Since I am not using KDE/plasma5
I can only guess…
This allows one to specify "related packages" in NixOS that get rendered into
the configuration.nix(5) man page. The interface philosophy is pretty much
stolen from TeX bibliography.
This is required on the ThunderX CPUs on the Packet.net Type-2A
machines that have a GICv3. For some reason the default is to create a
GICv2 independent of the host hardware...
