Alsa-utils provides a udev rule to restore volume settings, so use
that instead of restoring them from a systemd service. The
"alsa-store" service saves the settings on shutdown.
It's not enough to say "after udev-settle.service" since
udev-settle.service is not wanted/required anywhere - we need to say
"wants udev-settle.service" as well.
This should fix problems with ALSA and X11 initialisation that people
have been seeing.
So instead of:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig =
''
StartLimitInterval=10
CPUShare=500
'';
you can say:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.StartLimitInterval = 10;
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.CPUShare = 500;
This way all unit options are available and users can set/override
options in configuration.nix.
This makes it easier for systemd to track it and avoids race conditions such as
this one:
systemd[1]: PID file /run/sshd.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
systemd[1]: Failed to start SSH Daemon.
systemd[1]: Unit sshd.service entered failed state.
systemd[1]: sshd.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
systemd[1]: Stopping SSH Daemon...
systemd[1]: Starting SSH Daemon...

sshd[2315]: Server listening on :: port 22.
sshd[2335]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.
sshd[2335]: error: Bind to port 22 on :: failed: Address already in use.
sshd[2335]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.
systemd[1]: Started SSH Daemon.
When spamd isn't running as 'root', it cannot access the usual ~/.spamassassin
path where user-specific files normally reside. Instead, we use the path
/var/lib/spamassassin-<user> to store those home directories.
* Add group 'networkmanager' and implement polkit configuration
that allows users in this group to make persistent, system-wide
changes to NetworkManager settings.
* Add support for ModemManager. 3G modems should work out of the
box now (it does for me...). This introduces a dependency on
pkgs.modemmanager.
* Write NetworkManger config file to Nix store, and let the
daemon use it from there.
It specifies what mingetty will be stopped, if a bad filesystem
triggers an emergency shell.
That should be ttyS0 on headless systems, and in that case,
nixos should stop the ttyS0 mingetty from getting in.
I had some problems with LDAP user lookups not working properly
at boot. I found that invalidating passwd and group on the
ip-up event (when nscd-invalidate starts) helped a bit.
