In order to use qt5ct (Qt5 Configuration Tool) to configure Qt5
settings (theme, font, icons, etc.) under DE/WM without Qt
integration, the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME should be
set to "qt5ct".
It can be done automatically by this module, or by setting the
variable explicitly in the user or in the system configuration.
In the absence of XCURSOR_PATH, the function XcursorLibraryPath
in libXcursor will return a hardcoded value unsuitable for NixOS.
Some desktops as well as display managers in NixOS currently do
set XCURSOR_PATH, but there are combinations where neither does
(e.g. SDDM+XFCE), resulting in no cursor themes being available.
The new definition if XCURSOR_PATH is effectively the same as what
KDE's startkde currently does.
Fixes issue #21442.
To be able to use Wireshark as an ordinary user, the 'dumpcap' program
must be installed setuid root. This module module simplifies such a
configuration to simply:
programs.wireshark.enable = true;
The setuid wrapper is available for users in the 'wireshark' group.
Changes v1 -> v2:
- add "defaultText" to the programs.wireshark.package option (AFAIK,
that prevents the manual from being needlessly rebuilt when the
package changes)
The content of programs.zsh.interactiveShellInit was
inserted too soon in the generated zshrc
This caused some settings related to autocompletion to be ignored
The configuration { services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.forwardX11 = false; } caused
programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation to be set to false, which was not the
intent. The intent is that programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation should be
automatically enabled if needed or if xauth is already available.
Every interactive zsh sources /etc/zshrc (see STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES in zshautll(1))
Therefor every interactive zsh process will respect the content of these variables.
Using `export` will also lead to child processes inheriting this value.
This leads to problems, if other interactive shells are spawned such as bash,
because they use an incomptabible history format (without timestamps).
There seems to be also cases, where the local HISTSIZE in ~/.zshrc is
not sourced but /etc/zshrc, which leads to history truncation in other shells.

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

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").

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.
- Now `pkg.outputUnspecified = true` but this attribute is missing in
every output, so we can recognize whether the user chose or not.
If (s)he didn't choose, we put `pkg.bin or pkg.out or pkg` into
`systemPackages`.
- `outputsToLink` is replaced by `extraOutputsToLink`.
We add extra outputs *regardless* of whether the user chose anything.
It's mainly meant for outputs with docs and debug symbols.
- Note that as a result, some libraries will disappear from system path.
If we limit SSH_ASKPASS to interactive shells, users are unable to trigger
the ssh-passphrase dialog from their desktop environment autostart scripts.
Usecase: I call ssh-add during my desktop environment autostart and want to have
the passphrase dialog immediately after startup.
For this to work, SSH_ASKPASS needs to be propagated properly on
non-interactive shells.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions

The idea that the interactive bash prompt isn't set in case of TERM=dumb
is intended to fix problems when other machines log remotely into a
NixOS installation via Tramp. A side-effect that change was, however,
that Emacs' shell-mode no longer had a correct prompt. I suppose the
presence of
INSIDE_EMACS=24.5.2,comint
is a sufficiently unique indication that the current interactive shell
is running inside of an Emacs and that the prompt can thus be configured
safely.
This reverts commit a8eb2a6a81. OpenSSH
7.0 is causing too many interoperability problems so soon before the
15.08 release.
For instance, it causes NixOps EC2 initial deployments to fail with
"REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED". This is because the client
knows the server's ssh-dss host key, but this key is no longer
accepted by default. Setting "HostKeyAlgorithms" to "+ssh-dss" does
not work because it causes ssh-dss to be ordered after
"ecdsa-sha2-nistp521", which the server also offers. (Normally, ssh
prioritizes host key algorithms for which the client has a known host
key, but not if you set HostKeyAlgorithms.)
`man 1 info` says:
The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to
start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH.
If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the
result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu
items relative to the initial node visited.
Which means that this does what previous programs/info did and #8519
(on-the-fly infodir generation for Emacs) wanted to do, but for both
programs.
In 14f09e0, I've introduced the module under modules/programs, because
the legacy virtualbox.nix was also under that path. But because we
already have modules/virtualisation/virtualbox-guest.nix, it really
makes sense to put this module alongside of it as well.
This module thus has no change in functionality and I've tested
evaluation against nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix and the manual.

My original reason to put it at the beginning of NIX_PATH was to allow
shipping a particular version <nixpkgs> with a channel. But in order to
do that, we can still let the channel expression ship with a custom
version of nixpkgs by something like <channel/nixpkgs> and the builder
of the channel could also rewrite self-references.
So the inconvenience is now shifted towards the maintainer of the
channel rather than the user (which isn't nice, but better err on the
side of the developer rather than on the user), because as @edolstra
pointed out: Having the channels of root at the beginning of NIX_PATH
could have unintended side-effects if there a channel called nixpkgs.

This is very useful if you want to distribute channels (and thus
expressions as well) in a similar fashion to Debians APT sources (or
PPAs or whatnot).
So, for example if you have a channel with some additional functions
or packages, you simply add that channel with:
sudo nix-channel --add https://example.com/my-nifty-channel foo
And you can access that channel using <foo>, for example in your
configuration.nix:
{
imports = [ <foo/modules/shiny-little-module> ];
environment.systemPackages = with import <foo/pkgs> {}; [ bar blah ];
services.udev.extraRules = import <foo/lib/udev/mkrule.nix> {
kernel = "eth*";
attr.address = "00:1D:60:B9:6D:4F";
name = "my_fast_network_card";
};
}
Within nixpkgs, we shouldn't have <nixos> used anywhere anymore, so we
shouldn't get into conflicts.

By making askPassword an option, desktop environment modules can
override the default x11_ssh_askpassword with their own equivalent for
better integration. For example, KDE 5 uses plasma5.ksshaskpass instead.
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.

We need to solve the problem with `environment.profileRelativeEnvVars`.

IMHO, having a short timeout (1h) defeats the point of using
ssh-agent, which is not to have to retype passphrases all the time. Of
course, users who want timeouts can set programs.ssh.agentTimeout.
This restores the 14.04 behaviour.
Because we have to rely on setuid wrappers on NixOS, we can't easily
hardcode the executable paths and set it 4755. So for all calls, we need
to change the runtime path executable directory to /var/setuid-wrappers/
and for verification we need to retain the executable directory.
Also note, that usually VBoxNetAdpCtl, VBoxNetDHCP, VBoxNetNAT, VBoxSDL
and VBoxVolInfo don't reside in directories that are commonly in PATH,
but in /usr/lib/virtualbox in most mainstream distros. But because the
names of these executables are distinctive enough to not cause
collisions with other setuid programs, I'll leave it like that and not
patch up setuid-wrappers.

We only need to have setuid-root wrappers for VBox{Headless,SDL} and

Fixes#5283.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
The current nixos module for VirtualBox unconditionally configures a vboxnet0
network interface at boot. This may be undesired, especially when the user wants
to manage network interfaces in a centralized manner.
VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.

We will simply rename the previous module and add a warning whenever the
module is included directly, pointing the user to the right option and
also enable it as well (in case somebody has missed the option and is
wondering why VirtualBox doesn't work anymore).

NixOS has a pervasive dependency on bash. For instance, the X11
session script sources /etc/profile to get a reasonable
environment. Thus we should not provide an option to disable bash.
Also, enabling zsh no longer sets ‘users.defaultUserShell’ to zsh, to
prevent a collision with bash's definition of the same
option. (Changing the default shell is also something that should be
left to the user.)
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...
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
This is a rather large commit that switches user/group creation from using
useradd/groupadd on activation to just generating the contents of /etc/passwd
and /etc/group, and then on activation merging the generated files with the
files that exist in the system. This makes the user activation process much
cleaner, in my opinion.
The users.extraUsers.<user>.uid and users.extraGroups.<group>.gid must all be
properly defined (if <user>.createUser is true, which it is by default). My
pull request adds a lot of uids/gids to config.ids to solve this problem for
existing nixos services, but there might be configurations that break because
this change. However, this will be discovered during the build.
Option changes introduced by this commit:
* Remove the options <user>.isSystemUser and <user>.isAlias since
they don't make sense when generating /etc/passwd statically.
* Add <group>.members as a complement to <user>.extraGroups.
* Add <user>.passwordFile for setting a user's password from an encrypted
(shadow-style) file.
* Add users.mutableUsers which is true by default. This means you can keep
managing your users as previously, by using useradd/groupadd manually. This is
accomplished by merging the generated passwd/group file with the existing files
in /etc on system activation. The merging of the files is simplistic. It just
looks at the user/group names. If a user/group exists both on the system and
in the generated files, the system entry will be kept un-changed and the
generated entries will be ignored. The merging itself is performed with the
help of vipw/vigr to properly lock the account files during edit.
If mutableUsers is set to false, the generated passwd and group files will not
be merged with the system files on activation. Instead they will simply replace
the system files, and overwrite any changes done on the running system. The
same logic holds for user password, if the <user>.password or
<user>.passwordFile options are used. If mutableUsers is false, password will
simply be replaced on activation. If true, the initial user passwords will be
set according to the configuration, but existing passwords will not be touched.
I have tested this on a couple of different systems and it seems to work fine
so far. If you think this is a good idea, please test it. This way of adding
local users has been discussed in issue #103 (and this commit solves that
issue).
(systemd service descriptions that is, not service descriptions in "man
configuration.nix".)
Capitalizing each word in the description seems to be the accepted
standard.
Also shorten these descriptions:
* "Munin node, the agent process" => "Munin Node"
* "Planet Venus, an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader" => "Planet Venus Feed Reader"
That is, you can say
security.pam.services.sshd = { options... };
instead of
security.pam.services = [ { name = "sshd"; options... } ];
making it easier to override PAM settings from other modules.
