Konrad Förstner 7ec38adfdc nixos/doc/manual: Fix parted's set subcommand for esp partition
With 'set 3 boot on' the error 'file system "/boot" is not a FAT EFI
system partition (ESP) file system' occurs when running
"nixos-install" during the basic installation (tested in in a
VirtualBox VM).

Pascal Bach 6c2d12f1fa nixos/manual: recommend VMSVGA as graphics adapter
Virtualbox recommends VMSVGA for Linux guests.

It is also currently the only one supporting 3D acceleration
and it works out of the box with NixOS and auto screen resizing.

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.

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

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.
