Before commit 54fa0cfe4e, the `redshift`
service was run with the environment variable `DISPLAY` set to `:0`.
Commit 54fa0cfe4e changed this to
instead use the value of the `services.xserver.display` configuration
option in the value of the `DISPLAY` variable. In so doing, no default
value was provided for the case where `services.xserver.display` is
`null`.
While the default value of `services.xserver.display` is `0`, use of
which by the `redshift` module would result in `DISPLAY` again being
set to `:0`, `services.xserver.display` may also be `null`, to which
value it is set by, e.g., the `lightdm` module.
In the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`, with the change
made in commit 54fa0cfe4e, the `DISPLAY`
variable in the environment of the `redshift` service would be set to
`:` (a single colon), which, according to my personal experience,
would result in —
- the `redshift` service failing to start; and
- systemd repeatedly attempting to restart the `redshift` service,
looping indefinitely, while the hapless `redshift` spews error
messages into the journal.
It can be observed that the malformed value of `DISPLAY` is likely at
fault for this issue by executing the following commands in an
ordinary shell, with a suitable `redshift` executable, and the X11
display not already tinted:
- `redshift -O 2500` — This command should reduce the color
temperature of the display (making it more reddish).
- `DISPLAY=':' redshift -O 6500` — This command should raise the
color temperature back up, were it not for the `DISPLAY`
environment variable being set to `:` for it, which should cause
it to, instead, fail with several error messages.
This commit attempts to fix this issue by having the `DISPLAY`
environment variable for the `redshift` service default to its old
value of `:0` in the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`.
I have tested this solution on NixOS, albeit without the benefit of a
system with multiple displays.
Instead of one package `extra-cmake-modules`, there is now `ecm` and
`ecmNoHooks`. The latter is used when one does not want to incur a Qt 5
dependency; it is also available as a top-level package
`extra-cmake-modules`.
KDM and LightDM (at least with autologin) call the xsession-script with
two arguments: the first is the path of the xsession script itself,
while the second one are the actual arguments. The line to re-exec the
script under systemd-cat only forwarded a single argument, therefore
breaking LightDM and KDM login. This commit fixes the issue by always
forwarding all the arguments.
We need to pass certain environment variables through the wrapper, but I
don't know how to do that yet. The setuid-root feature serves only to
hide kdeinit from the OOM killer, so this is not critical.

startGnuPGAgent: further notes on replacement
... rather than ~/.xsession-errors. It might make sense to make this
the default, in order to eliminate ad hoc, uncentralised, poorly
discoverable log files.
This ensures that "journalctl -u display-manager" does what you would
expect in 2016. However, the main reason is to ensure that our VM
tests show the output of the X server.
A slight problem is that with KDE user switching, messages from the
various X servers end up in the same place. However, that's an
improvement over the previous situation, where the second X server
would overwrite the /var/log/X.0.log of the first. (This was caused by
the fact that we were passing a hard-coded value for -logfile.)
`dbus-launch` is executed early in the script, before desktop managers
had a chance to setup the environment. If DBus activation is used,
applications launched by this may therefore lack necessary environment
variables. This patch sends the complete environment to DBus after
launching the desktop manager.
Commit 98d9bba introduced this option as a nullOr type and it actually
checks whether null has been set and only appends -dpi if that's the
case. So let's actually set the default to null instead of 0.

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.
Add ability to do a more traditional bspwm startup (using the bspwm-session
script provided by nixpkgs.bspwm) as an alternative to directly starting

Also added the ability to specify a custom startup script, instead of

add '-f 100' as an argument to sxhkd to keep it from flooding bspwm
add SXHKD_SHELL=/bin/sh to help default to a faster shell than what may
be set in $SHELL (example: with zsh)
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.

Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
Before the error if the wrong default desktop was chosen would be:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager ($(defaultDM)) not found.
which has the string interpolation done incorreclty. Now that is fixed
and it is more user-friendly as:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager (gnome) not found.
Probably you want to change
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome";
to one of
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome3";
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "none";
- added numlock on boot switch
- simply add :

The three KDE package sets now have circular dependencies between them,
so they can only be built if they are merged into a single package set
during evaluation.
- if xserver.tty and/or display are set to null, then don't specify
them, or the -logfile argument in the xserverArgs
- For lightdm, we set default tty and display to null and we determine
those at runtime based on arguments passed. This is necessary because
we run multiple X servers so they can't all be on the same display
These options allow setting the start and stop scripts for the display
manager. Making these configurable is necessary to allow some hardware
configurations. Upstream ships empty scripts by default, anyway.
Now the default way to define NixOS window manager modules is to use
mkEnableOption to describe the module itself.
In this commit, all files on nixos/modules/services/x11/window-managers
are changed.
Add the possibility to specify plugin set to
be used as overridable `thunar` derivation argument.
New nixos config attribute:

that allows user to specify plugins in the context
of nixos.
Tests:
- With and without plugins.
- Using the nixos attributes.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is usually enabled by default under X, and is a
keyboard shortcut that forcefully kills the current X server. This can
lead to data loss by users if accidentally pressed. This commit
introduces a new option, services.xserver.enableCtrlAltBackspace, that
is *disabled* by default. If set to true, the previous behavior can be
restored.
A similar decision was made by the Ubuntu team, and is documented here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
The default synaptics functionality (without this file) is limited for
clickpads: the right soft button area in the bottom right isn't active by
default, so the entire pad generates left-clicks. There is no way to
right-drag.
This file defines soft button areas and provides some matching rules.
These settings don't conflict with the synaptics options that NixOS
provides.
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
As discussed on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/9642, the option
is not necessary because all desktop managers already stopped handling
it (and delegated to systemd).
Or else users may see this unfriendly message:
error: cannot coerce null to a string, at .../nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/gdm.nix:107:49
Changes the option and explicitely sets it for each desktopManager.
Reasoning: Currently,
services.xserver.displayManager.desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower is set
to true by default. This creates a problem for users without desktop
environments activated, since lid management simply doesn't work
(and they have to be lucky to find this option).
See issue #9671
This is needed by most window managers. Desktop environments
usually launch dbus-launch if a session hasn't been started yet
so this shouldn't hurt. The worst it can happen is that one
dbus session will be unused in case it's started twice.
The GDM change is backported from recent gdm.
With this patch, systemd-inhibit outputs a descriptive message when
desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower=true (the default).
Before the patch:
$ systemd-inhibit
Who: /nix/store/[...]-xsession [...] (UID 1000/cassou, PID 18561/systemd-inhibit)
What: handle-power-key:handle-lid-switch
Why: Unknown reason

After the patch:
$ systemd-inhibit
Who: /nix/store/[...]-xsession [...] (UID 1000/cassou, PID 18561/systemd-inhibit)
What: handle-power-key:handle-lid-switch
Why: See NixOS configuration option 'services.xserver.displayManager.desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower' for more information.

This was lost back in
ffedee6ed5. Getting this to work is
slightly tricky because ssh-agent runs as a user unit, and so doesn't
know the user's $DISPLAY.
Sawfish is a versatile, Lisp-based window manager
In that commit I include all Sawfish stack:
- librep, a lisp system;

The renaming of options define the original value for the new attribute
path. This works well if there is only *one* target, but if there are
more, we end up recursing into the attribute set of the option
definition itself.
We now check for that within the parent recursion node (we can't check
that from the subnode, because we lack that information about whether
it's defined multiple times) and if the subnode consist entirely of a
list of definitions, we use mkMerge on it.

The current options for the XServer produce a huge amount of log messages. The
server produces around 70-80 messages per minute. The most messages look like
this:
display-manager-start[1846]: GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 75200
display-manager-start[1846]: GetModeLine - hdsp: 1366 hbeg: 1414 hend: 1478 httl: 1582
display-manager-start[1846]: vdsp: 768 vbeg: 772 vend: 779 vttl: 792 flags: 9
Since theses messages aren't very useful, I propose to remove the `-logverbose`
and `-verbose` options from the XServer arguments.
Any reasonably new version of fontconfig does search that path by default,
and setting this globally causes problems, as 2.10 and 2.11 need
incompatible configs.
Tested: slim+xfce desktop, chrootenv-ed steam.
I have no idea why we were setting the global variable;
e.g., neither Fedora nor Ubuntu does that.
This commit updates the stumpwm to version 0.9.8. Futhermore, it
refactors the expression quite a lot:
* stumpwm has been moved from lisp modules to window-managers.
* stumpwm has been added to the window managers NixOS knows about, this
enables the user to add stumpwm as a default window manager in his
NixOS configuration like with Xmonad or i3.
* the package has been split into stumpwm and stumpwmContrib. This is
due to the fact that development of stumpwm and its extension modules
has been split into two repositories. As of today, the release is the
last one before this split. This split into two packages only reflect
those upcoming upstream changes already.
It is planned to make the addition of the extension modules voluntarily,
like with Xmonads option "enableContribAndExtras". Furthermore it might
be possible to add an option to compile stumpwm with clisp instead of
sbcl.
Option defaults should not refer to store paths, because they cause
the manual to be rebuilt gratuitously. It's especially bad to refer to
a highly variable path like a computed configuration file.
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting.

Two imports were added independently on the same line.
I split it as well, as it was very long now.
One reason for adding this is to make Chromium able to open files it has
downloaded.
Currently this happens:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/xdg-open: line 364: gnome-open: command not found
(And nothing happens in the GUI when clicking a downloaded file.)
Looking into xdg-open, one can see that it first tries to run gvfs-open
and then falls back to gnome-open. Adding 'gvfs' makes the first command
succeed.

Previously all card-specific stuff was scattered across xserver.nix
and opengl.nix, which is ugly. Now it can be kept together in a single
card-specific module. This required the addition of a few internal
options:
- services.xserver.drivers: A list of { name, driverName, modules,
libPath } sets.
- hardware.opengl.package: The OpenGL implementation. Note that there
can be only one OpenGL implementation at a time in a system
configuration (i.e. no dynamic detection).
- hardware.opengl.package32: The 32-bit OpenGL implementation.
Fixes#2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
This has some advantages:
* You get ssh-agent regardless of how you logged in. Previously it was
only started for X11 sessions.
* All sessions of a user share the same agent. So if you added a key
on tty1, it will also be available on tty2.
* Systemd will restart ssh-agent if it dies.
* $SSH_AUTH_SOCK now points to the /run/user/<uid> directory, which is
more secure than /tmp.
For bonus points, we should patch ssh-agent to support socket-based
activation...
