WORLDofPEACE 452f7e14d4 nixos/tools: generate an xserver config
The desktop configuration won't enable xserver.
If there's multiple desktops enabled they will now evaluate properly.

WORLDofPEACE 99d5111246 nixos/tools: add desktopConfiguration option
We now have a GNOME ISO so it would be nice to seed that one
with configuration on how to enable it.

Matthew Bauer c45295d47e nixos/nixos-generate-config.pl: use modulesPath instead of <nixpkgs>
For imports, it is better to use ‘modulesPath’ than rely on <nixpkgs>
being correctly set. Some users may not have <nixpkgs> set correctly.
In addition, when ‘pure-eval=true’, <nixpkgs> is unset.

nixos: default nix.maxJobs to auto
Instead of making the configuration less portable by hard coding the number of
jobs equal to the cores we can also let nix set the same number at runtime.

nixos-generate-config: add useDHCP per interface
This sets networking.useDHCP to false and for all interfaces found the
per-interface useDHCP to true. This replicates the current default
behaviour and prepares for the switch to networkd.

Bjørn Forsman 4213e48dd9 nixos-generate-config: add dm-snapshot module if LVM is detected
Without this, the system becomes unbootable if the user creates a LVM
snapshot and reboots.

Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/33646

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1287940)

Bjørn Forsman 9e45f6feac nixos-generate-config: don't generate swapDevices for *files*
Up until now, the output has been the same for swap devices and swap
files:

  { device = "/var/swapfile"; }

Whereas for swap *files* it's easier to manage them declaratively in
configuration.nix:

  { device = "/var/swapfile"; size = 8192; }

(NixOS will create the swapfile, and later resize it, if the size
attribute is changed.)

With the assumption that swap files are specified in configuration.nix,
it's silly to output them to hardware-configuration.nix.

Bjørn Forsman 4755811a12 nixos-generate-config: add support for bcache
Add "bcache" to boot.initrd.availableKernelModules if a bcache device is
detected.

This fixes a problem I've had one too many times: I install NixOS and
forget to add "bcache", resulting in an unbootable machine (until fixed
with Live CD). Now NixOS will do it for me.

nixos-generate-config: Don't suggest setting a uid
This hasn't been needed for a long time, even when `mutableUsers =
false`. Setting a uid manually is potentially risky since it could
collide with non-declarative user accounts. (We do check for
collisions between declarative accounts.)

devhell c3d22fdca1 nixos-generate-config: Include extraGroups "wheel"
I've been asked, on numerous occasions, by my students and others, how
to 'sudo' on NixOS.

Of course new users could read up in the manual on how to do that, or we
could make it more accessible for them by simply making it visible in
the default `configuration.nix` file.

Additionally, as raised in [1], replacing `guest` with something more
recognizable could be potentially beneficial to new users. I've
opted for `jane` for now.

Claudio Bley 352e06d3da installer/tools: Avoid duplicate LUKS device entries in hw config
There are situations where several filesystems reside on a single encrypted LUKS
device (e.g. when using BTRFS subvolumes).

Simply generating a `boot.init.luks.devices.NAME.device` entry for each mounted
filesystem will result in an error later when evaluating the nix expression in
`hardware-configuration.nix`.

nixos/cpufreq: Remove the alias to set the cpu frequency governor
This PR temporarily fixes the issue with PR 53041 as explained
here:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/53041#commitcomment-31825338

The alias `powerManagement.cpufreq.governor` to
`powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` has been removed.

cpufreq: add option for setting the cpu max and min frequencies
This adds a NixOS option for setting the CPU max and min frequencies
with `cpufreq`.  The two options that have been added are:

- `powerManagement.cpufreq.max`
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.min`

It also adds an alias to the `powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` option as
`powerManagement.cpufreq.governor`.  This updates the installer to use
the new option name.  It also updates the manual with a note about
the new name.

Revert "Merge pull request #48122 from zimbatm/pkg-nixos-rebuild"
This reverts commit 10addad603, reversing
changes made to 7786575c6c.

NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.

nixos-*: init as package
Move all the nixos-* scripts from the nixos distribution as real
packages in the pkgs/ package set.

This allows non-nixos users to run the script as well. For example,

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.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 96190535e5 Revert "nixos: rename system.{stateVersion,defaultChannel} -> system.nixos.\1"
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.

Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.

Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...

Bjørn Forsman 80b6513fbf nixos: enable bash command completion by default
Because it improves out-of-the-box user experience a lot (IMHO).
(zsh completion is already on by default.)

Remove "programs.bash.enableCompletion = true" from
nixos-generate-config.pl, which feels superflous now.

  services.tlp.enable = true;
```
But should it?

nixos: Fix detection of btrfs root volume
Regression introduced by 801c920e95.

Since then, the btrfsSimple subtest of the installer VM test fails with:

Btrfs did not return a path for the subvolume at /

The reason for this is that the output for "btrfs subvol show" has
changed between version 4.8.2 and 4.13.1.

For example the output of "btrfs subvol show /" in version 4.8.2 was:

/ is toplevel subvolume

In version 4.13.1, the output now is the following and thus the regular
expressions used in nixos-generate-config.pl and install-grub.pl now
match (which results in the error mentioned above):

/
        Name:                   <FS_TREE>
        UUID:                   -
        Parent UUID:            -
        Received UUID:          -
        Creation time:          -
        Subvolume ID:           5
        Generation:             287270
        Gen at creation:        0
        Parent ID:              0
        Top level ID:           0
        Flags:                  -
        Snapshot(s):

In order to fix this I've changed nixos-generate-config.pl and
install-grub.pl, because both use "btrfs subvol show" in a similar vein,
so the regex for parsing the output now doesn't match anymore whenever
the volume path is "/", which should result in the same behaviour as we
had with btrfs-progs version 4.8.2.

Tested against the btrfsSimple, btrfsSubvols and btrfsSubvolDefault
subtests of the installer VM test and they all succeed now.
