These have been deprecated since NixOS 20.03.

these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
Some settings which where before inside the xserver module, are generic
and also required for SDDM under wayland. To make them easily re-usable
lets extract them.
This is not correct and will in fact break things because they try to run before the target is reached.
Ideally we'd get rid of it entirely, but WM users rely on this behavior, so allowlist some desktops
to get the sane behavior, and fake the session for the rest until upstreams/NixOS modules catch up.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
This config is removed when removing[1] fonts.fontconfig.hinting.style
option.
However, when adding[2] that option back, this config is missing.

Other popular distros (OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch) read $HOME/.profile when starting X11 display managers.
When moving to nixOS, that is then broken leading to unpredictable behavior (probably programs not working).
This adds similar behavior to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession

the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
For now at least. I expect someone will find a working type later.
It's incorrect and was causing bad issues. Example test case:
nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.xfce.x86_64-linux --dry-run
This is a partial revert of commit b2d803c from PR #162271.
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.
Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.
This reverts commit 3cd2b59b8c.
It created infinite recursion when using LXQt, since lxqt module
uses `config.system.path` in `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
`config.system.path` is a `buildEnv` that depends on `environment.systemPackages`.
This removes the `services.dbus.socketActivated` and
`services.xserver.startDbusSession` options. Instead the user D-Bus
session is always socket activated.
xss-lock needs XDG_SESSION_ID to respond to loginctl lock-session(s)
(and possibly other session operations such as idle hint management).
This change adds XDG_SESSION_ID to the list of imported environment
variables when starting systemctl.
Inspired by home-manager, add importVariables configuration.
Set session to XDG_SESSION_ID when running xss-lock as a service.

This ensures a correct DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable
is set and imported into the systemd user environment.
Previously this would refer to a non-existing path preventing commands
interacting with the systemd manager from working.
Closes#87502
Some display managers (e.g. SDDM) set the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable accroding to this parameter.
If this variable is not defined, there will be some problems (e.g. MATE doesn't have icons on the desktop).
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/71427
We switched to unified default session option services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession
and included fallback path for the legacy options. Unfortunately when only
services.xserver.windowManager.default is set and not services.xserver.desktopManager.default,
it got incorrectly converted to the new option.
This should fix that.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76684
xsession gets passed `dm` `wm`, so the desktop manager would be launched
before the window manager resulting in a regular desktop manager
session.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76625
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
There's two ways of providing graphical sessions now:
- `displayManager.session` via. `desktopManager.session` and
`windowManager.session`
- `displayManager.sessionPackages`
`sessionPackages` doesn't make a distinction between desktop and window
managers. This makes selecting a session provided by a package using
`desktopManager.default` nonsensical.
We therefor introduce `displayManager.defaultSession` which can select a session
from either `displayManager.session` or `displayManager.sessionPackages`.
It will default to `desktopManager.default + windowManager.default` as before.
If the dm default is "none" it will select the first provided session from
`sessionPackages`.
