Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.
Based on #12516
The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub
usage. This is to be fixed with new options in grub.
Pass gnome-session to extraSessionFilePackages, remove unnecessary environment variables, move the rest out of old session option, and then drop the option.
Currently broken on NixOS due to hardcoded modprobe binary path (see
bug #30756 from Oct 2017), no activity on a proposed fix for months.
As the protocol is terribly broken anyways, let's better remove it
completely, and not talk about anymore ;-)
Closes#30756.
For some reason, the GNOME 3.26 update broke the overrides. It turns
out the overrides now need to come before the overridden schemas in the
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. This is not possible in general due to applications
prefixing the variable (e.g. in wrapGAppsHook).
To fix this, a new environment variable NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR
was introduced. It has greater priority than XDG_DATA_DIRS but lower
than GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. A separate variable was chosen in order not
to block the built-in one for users.
* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
Without this change there will be silent errors when enabling screen
sharing. The GUI thinks it enables the service when it in fact does not
(errors are seen in the system journal).
vino is already in the closure of gnome-control-center, so this is
basically free.
Configuration of screen sharing is done in GNOME control center.
* gnome3: default to 3.22
* zuki-themes: add src for gnome 3.22, remove 3.18
* gnome3_22.vte_290: copy from gnome3.20
* termite: use vte-select-text from gnome3_20
- init gnome-software for gnome3 at 3.18.3
- list gnome-software as an "optional package" for gnome3
- enable packagekit service when gnome3 is enabled
Fixes this (line wrapped):
$ gnome-control-center
[... click on the "Color" item ...]
(gnome-control-center:3977): color-cc-panel-WARNING **: \
The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files
With this patch applied, the above warnings are not printed and the GUI
shows some devices that can be managed (my printer and display). Without
this patch the GUI is empty (non-functional).
(cups will also complain in the journal with a similar message when
doing print jobs, without this patch.)
...by adding system-config-printer to services.dbus.packages (if
services.printing.enable is true).
Without this patch, trying to add a printer will result in a little dialog
saying "Failed to add new printer" and gnome-control-center will print this to
the terminal (line wrapped):
(gnome-control-center:3546): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: \
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: \
The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files
system-config-printer supplies the "org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing" dbus
service, thus fixing the problem.
