The BGRT theme is probably a close as to "FlickerFree" we can
get without https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/74842.
It's more agnostic than the Breeze theme.
We also install all of themes provided by the packages, as it's possible
that one theme needs the ImageDir of another, and they're small files
anyways.
Lastly, how plymouth handles logo and header files is
a total mess, so hopefully when they have an actual release
we won't need to do all this symlinking.
This allows Plymouth to show the “NixOS 21.03” label under the logo at
startup like it already does at shutdown.
Fixes#59992.

Renaming an interface must be done in stage-1: otherwise udev will
report the interface as ready and network daemons (networkd, dhcpcd,
etc.) will bring it up. Once up the interface can't be changed and the
renaming will fail.
Note: link files are read directly by udev, so they can be used even
without networkd enabled.
It was introduced in c10fe14 but removed in c4f910f.
It remained such that people with older generations in their boot
entries could still boot those. Given that the parameter hasn't had any
use in quite some years, it seems safe to remove now.
Fixes#60184
`unitOption` is only used inside of `attrsOf` wich is perfectly capable of
handling the attrsets from `mkIf`, though the checkUnitConfig test
forbids it. This commit weakens that restriction to allow the usage of
`mkIf` inside of `systemd.services.<name>.serviceConfig.<something>`
etc.
networkd's [IPv6PrefixDelegation] section and IPv6PrefixDelegation=
options have been renamed as [IPv6SendRA] and IPv6SendRA= in systemd
247.
Throws if the deprecated option ipv6PrefixDelegationConfig is used.
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.
Declaring them as lists enables the concatenation, supporting
lib.mkBefore, lib.mkOrder, etc.
This is useful when you need to extend a service with a pre-start
script that needs to run as root.
Originally, changes to the kernel don't propagate to the other
derivation within the same package set. This commit allows for the
changes in the kernel to be propagated.
A distinct example is setting `boot.kernel.randstructSeed` to a non-zero
length string which would result in building 2 kernels, one with the
correct seed and the other with the zero length seed. Then, when using
an out-of-tree kernel driver, it would be built with the zero length
seed which differs from the non-zero length seed used to boot,
contradicting the purpose of the `boot.kernel.randstructSeed`.
For in NixOS it is beneficial if both plasma5 and pam use the same Qt5
version. Because the plasma5 desktop may use a different version as the
default Qt5 version, we introduce plasma5Packages.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/107497 broke booting on many systems that
use tmpOnTmpfs due to the lack of specifying the mount type.
This commit explicitly adds the mount type, which should fix booting
such systems.
The original change may want to be revisited however too.
@poettering decided we only need a limited number of inodes in our /tmp,
so why not limit that for every systemd user? That makes medium-sized nix
builds impossible so this commit restores the old behaviour which is the
kernel default of half the number of physical RAM pages which does not
seem too unreasonable to me.
See https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/fedora-31-control-group-v2 for
details on why this is desirable, and how it impacts containers.
Users that need to keep using the old cgroup hierarchy can re-enable it
by setting `systemd.unifiedCgroupHierarchy` to `false`.
Well-known candidates not supporting that hierarchy, like docker and
hidepid=… will disable it automatically.
Fixes#73800
This used to be done by udev, but that was removed in
systemd/systemd@6b2229c. The links are created by systemd at the end of
stage-2, but activation scripts might need them earlier.
These were broken since 2016:
f0367da7d1
since StartLimitIntervalSec got moved into [Unit] from [Service].
StartLimitBurst has also been moved accordingly, so let's fix that one
too.
NixOS systems have been producing logs such as:
/nix/store/wf98r55aszi1bkmln1lvdbp7znsfr70i-unit-caddy.service/caddy.service:31:
Unknown key name 'StartLimitIntervalSec' in section 'Service', ignoring.
I have also removed some unnecessary duplication in units disabling
rate limiting since setting either interval or burst to zero disables it
(ad16158c10/src/basic/ratelimit.c (L16))
When the stage-1 logs get imported in to the journal, they all get
loaded with the same timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify
what might be taking a long time in early boot.
It looks like the test sshd key can never be used, because of too open
permissions. My guess is that the current test script works fine once
the user defined ssh-key has been copied into initrd.
At "nixos-install" however, the user specified host key is not present
in initrd yet and validation fails.
fixes#91486
Otherwise, stage-2-init.sh will complain about not having access to
/dev/fd/62 as of systemd v246.
On IRC, flokli said:
15:14 <flokli> cole-h: hmmm... I could imagine some of the setup inside /dev has been moved into other parts of systemd
15:14 <flokli> And given we run systemd much later (outside initramfs only) it doesn't work properly here
15:17 <flokli> We probably don't invoke udev correctly
This is a temporary fix for #97433. A more proper fix has been
implemented upstream in systemd/systemd#17001, however until it gets
backported, we are stuck with ignoring the error.
After the backport lands, this commit should be reverted.
For UEFI setups, "device" will generally be the special value "nodev"
which represents not running grub-install at all. Using "nodev" for
boot mirrors should therefore be allowed.
The commit enforces buildPackages in the builder but neglects
the fact that the builder is intended to run on the target system.
Because of that, the builder will fail when remotely building a
configuration eg. with nixops or nix-copy-closure.
This reverts commit a6ac6d00f9.
The cyclic dependency of systemd → cryptsetup → lvm2 → udev=systemd
needs to be broken somewhere. The previous strategy of building
cryptsetup with an lvm2 built without udev (#66856) caused the
installer.luksroot test to fail. Instead, build lvm2 with a udev built
without cryptsetup.
Fixes#96479.

This allows the user to configure systemd tmpfiles.d via
`environment.etc."tmpfiles.d/X.conf".text = "..."`, which after #93073
causes permission denied (with new X.conf):
```
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/nix/store/...-etc/etc/tmpfiles.d/X.conf': Permission denied
builder for '/nix/store/...-etc.drv' failed with exit code 1
```
or collision between environment.etc and systemd-default-tmpfiles
packages (with existing X.conf, such as tmp.conf):
```
duplicate entry tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf -> /nix/store/...-etc-tmp.conf
mismatched duplicate entry /nix/store/...-systemd-246/example/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf <-> /nix/store/...-etc-tmp.conf
builder for '/nix/store/...-etc.drv' failed with exit code 1
```

declare -a is not sufficient to make the array variable actually
exist, which resulted in the script failing when the target object did
not have any DT_NEEDED entries. This in turn resulted in some
initramfs libraries not having their rpaths patched to point to
extra-utils, which in turn broke the extra-utils tests.
symlinkJoin can break (silently) when the passed paths contain symlinks
to directories. This should work now.
Down-side: when lib/tmpfiles.d doesn't exist for some passed package,
the error message is a little less explicit, because we never get
to the postBuild phase (and symlinkJoin doesn't provide a better way):
/nix/store/HASH-NAME/lib/tmpfiles.d: No such file or directory
Also, it seemed pointless to create symlinks for whole package trees
and using only a part of the result (usually very small part).
These are now only installed by systemd if HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT is true,
which only is the case if you set sysvinit-path and sysvrcnd-path (which
we explicitly unset in the systemd derivation for quite some time)
From the systemd release notes:
nss-mymachines lost support for resolution of users and groups, and now
only does resolution of hostnames. This functionality is now provided by
nss-systemd. Thus, the 'mymachines' entry should be removed from the
'passwd:' and 'group:' lines in /etc/nsswitch.conf (and 'systemd' added
if it is not already there).
Since systemd 246, these are only installed by systemd if
HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT is true, which only is the case if you set
sysvinit-path and sysvrcnd-path (which we explicitly unset in the
systemd derivation for quite some time)
There's a circular dependency to systemd via cryptsetup and lvm2
(systemd -> cryptsetup -> lvm2 -> udev=systemd).
However, cryptsetup only really needs the devmapper component shipped
with lvm2. So build `pkgs.cryptsetup` with a lvm2 that doesn't come with
udev.

works
- Give a more detailed description of how fileSystems.<name/>.encrypted.keyFile
works
This lets users do sneaky things before systemd starts, and
permanently affect the environment in which systemd runs. For example,
we could start systemd in a non-default network namespace by setting
the systemdExecutable to a wrapper script containing:
#!/bin/sh
ip netns add virtual
touch /var/run/netns/physical
mount -o bind /proc/self/ns/net /var/run/netns/physical
exec ip netns exec virtual systemd
_note: the above example does literally work, but there are unresolved
problems with udev and dhcp._
