services/misc/nixos-manual.nix: Remove
Running the manual on a TTY is useless in the graphical ISOs and not
particularly useful in non-graphical ISOs (since you can also run
'nixos-help').

Fixes #83157.

worldofpeace 397c7d26fc installer: Don't run as root
There's many reason why it is and is going to
continue to be difficult to do this:

1. All display-managers (excluding slim) default PAM rules
   disallow root auto login.

2. We can't use wayland

3. We have to use system-wide pulseaudio

4. It could break applications in the session.
   This happened to dolphin in plasma5
   in the past.

This is a growing technical debt, let's just use
passwordless sudo.

Jörg Thalheim b488c60cdb network-manager: rename systemd service back to match upstream
Compatibility with other distributions/software and expectation
of users coming from other systems should have higher priority over consistency.
In particular this fixes #51375, where the NetworkManager-wait-online.service
broke as a result of this.

Matthew Bauer 1ff9a93e1c nixos/doc: bs=1000000 for dd args (#54280)
Not all dd implementations take ‘bs=1m’. Better to just list it out
fully to reduce potential for problems.

Fixes #54181.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 467bec34bb nixos/doc: Actually fix partitioning instructions.
The previous tentative to the fix got the order mixed up a bit. This
new fix has been re-verified to get them in the good order as per the
instructions in the following chapters.
2018-10-08 12:35:04 -04:00
Samuel Dionne-Riel 6cfbf403ca doc: Reviews partitioning instructions to use parted.
The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are
bound to be better tested than `fdisk`.

This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the
`fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected.

 * #39354
 * #46309
 * #39942
 * #45478

Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes.

In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been
made, allowing better deep linking.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 8467dc857b doc: installing-usb: removes notes about unetbootin.
They are known to cause more issues than solving issues; futhermore
using `dd` should work everywhere without fail.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 8192fcd0fd doc: installing-usb make macOS note a note.
While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the
default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the
section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the
text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for
macOS.

Venkateswara Rao Mandela cb1ca42009 nixos/doc: add instructions for installation behind a proxy (#45854)
The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While
one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install
rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy
settings for the nix-daemon are not configured.

This commit updates the documentation with

1. steps to install behind a proxy

2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access
internet.

3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy
settings on different networks.

Christian Kauhaus bca80d67a0 Clarify installation steps w.r.t. disk partitions
- mkfs.fat needs `-n` to set a partition label, not `-L`.
- create /mnt/boot before mounting
- leave out detailed LVM example as advanced users already how to create
  LVs while it is detracting for novices.
