Nixpkgs has recently made a few major changes to its
xdg-desktop-portal package, which silently breaks our module here:
- The NIXOS_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_CONFIG_DIR variable patch has been
removed (in favor of putting portal configurations in /etc or
XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
- A new variable, NIX_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR, was introduced in a
patch to avoid setting XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR (which also affected
portal configuration reading, not only portal definitions)
I updated our module to match the changes, but this breakage also made
me revisit this module and look into some improvements.
Long story short, I think it's worth it to make it more similar to the
NixOS one, as it will make behavior more predictable and consistent.
The main change is relying on the upstream linked systemd
unit (instead of using systemd.user.services), and setting the
environment variables globally instead of scoping it to the unit, as
it's a very global thing anyway.
The release notes used to be an appendix in the manual. After
converting to markdown that appendix got lost. This commit
reintroduces the release notes into the manual.
The `nixos-render-docs` tool outputs XHTML formatted content. In
order to convince browsers like `firefox` to treat the data as XHTML
the extension must be `.xhtml` and not `.html`.
Using the XHTML-formatted content as HTML is mainly an issue with
self-closing `<a />` tags.
This will reduce the system closure size by about 200MB under NixOS by
sharing the glibcLocales package.
When home-manager is installed on Linux without the NixOS module, all
glibc locales are installed, as before.
Resolves: #2333
Previously, this module was all-or-nothing with its pre-defined user
dirs. This allows e.g. `xdg.userDirs.desktop = null;` to opt-out of
some configuration while still benefiting from the rest.
This module adds basic support for configuration specializations.
These allow the user to build multiple alternative configurations that
should be part of the same generation.
The conversion from `concatMapStrings` to `concatStringsSep` introduced in https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2481
creates an unintended behavior change where the formatted config does not end in a newline.[1]
This is problematic for manipulation at the Nix level. In particular, this cause a regression in
the generation of gtk2 settings due to concatenated of the formatted config and `gtk2.extraConfig`
without a newline in between.
This commit restores `concatMapStrings` to match the previous behavior and adds a newline to
the final string for the generated gtk2 config. The test case for gtk2-basic-config
was also updated to check behavior at concatenation boundaries.

Nix permits user level configurations through ~/.config/nix/nix.conf that allow
customization of system-wide settings and behavior. This is beneficial in chroot
environments and for per-user configurations. System level Nix configurations in the
form of /etc/nix/nix.conf can be specified declaratively via the NixOS nix module but as
of currently no counter part exists in home-manager.
This PR is a port of the RFC42 implementation for the NixOS nix module[1]
to home-manager. Non-applicable options have been excluded and the config generation
backends have been tweaked to the backends offered by home-manager. A notable change
from the NixOS module is a mandatory option to specify the Nix binary corresponding
to the version "nix.conf" should be generated against. This is necessary because
the validation phase is dependent on the `nix show-config` subcommand on the host platform.
While it is possible to avoid validation entirely, the lack of type checking was deemed too significant.
In NixOs, the version information can be retrieved from the `package` option itself which
declares the Nix binary system-wide. However in home-manager, there is no pure way to
detect the system Nix version and what state version the "nix.conf" should be generated
against. Thus an option is used to overcome this limitation by forcing the user to
specify the Nix package. Note this interaction can still be automated by forwarding
the system-wide Nix package to the home-manager module if needed.
Three unit tests were added to test the module behavior for the empty settings, the example
settings and the example registry configurations respectively.
[1] - NixOS/nixpkgs#139075
* gtk: add cursor theme configuration
- Added the `cursorTheme` under the gtk module.
- Added tests for the gtk3 settings file generation, and renamed
the gtk2 unit test expected file for clarity.
- Added guard against generating a blank `gtk.css` when `cfg.extraCss`
is empty.
- Replaced `concatMapStrings` calls with `concatStringsSep`. The library function
`concatMapStrings` generates an intemediate list which is then passed to
`concatStringsSep`, As we are not performing other transformation except
the addition of newlines, a direct call to `concatStringsSep` is sufficient.
- Updated description of examples to be more general "~/.config" -> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME".
- Update helper functions `toGtk3Ini` and `formatGtk2Option` to use the library
function `boolToString` and escape the separator in the key name.
* xcursor: delegate GTK cursor settings to gtk.cursorTheme
- Added deprecation warning for GTK settings in the `xsession.cursorTheme` module.
- Modified config section to use `gtk.cursorTheme` for GTK cursor settings.
Based on nixpkgs commit c4b3aa62608d592d8a983be685f7e82000f4de30
stringBool is not needed because makeDesktopItem handles converting boolean parameters to string,
and noDisplay and prefersNonDefaultGPU parameters have been added.
Write YubiKey token IDs in the format yubico_pam expects. See
https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-pam/ for details. Also refer to
the NixOS option security.pam.services.<name>.yubicoAuth.
Closes#2502
This option provides a more convenient way to overlay dummy packages.
It also adds a function `config.lib.test.mkStubPackage` that can,
e.g., be used for `package` options.
Currently, when a custom path is set for any of the XDG base
directories (i.e XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, ...), the path will
be coerced into a string when consumed by other options such as
xdg.configFile et al. This causes the the given path to be copied to
the nix store which in the case of xdg.configFile et al, translate to
the file being written there as it is a absolute path.
Interestingly, the default base directories all work as intended as
they are encoded as a string.
This commit converts the option to a string regardless of whether it
is a primitive path or a string encoded path. This allows downstream
consumers to use the base directories in arbitrary way without
accidentally copying the content of the directory to the store. It is
implemented in a similar manner as how home.homeDirectory undergoes
string conversion.
The existing file-attr-name test was modified to test also custom xdg
base directories, and the home.file generation test was removed as
there is a dedicated test for this case in the files module. The test
case was renamed to file-gen to better reflect the new scope.
* xdg-desktop-entries: add module
rebase
* xdg-desktop-entries: adapt to changes in makeDesktopItem
This package depends on the makeDesktopItem function in nixpkgs, which recently changed its syntax:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91790
This commit makes the module compatible with the new syntax.
It also exposes the fileValidation option in makeDesktopItem.

There is a need to manage XDG Base Directory system directory
environment variables in Home Manager modules. There is an existing
mechanism in `targets.genericLinux.extraXdgDataDirs', but this does not
apply to NixOS systems.
Furthermore, it is important that `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS' and `XDG_DATA_DIRS'
are set in both login shells (to support getty and SSH sessions) as well
as the systemd user manager (to propagate them to user services and
desktop environments).
The first need is addressed by adding the `xdg.systemDirs' module, which
configures lists of directory names for both `config' and `data'
directories. These are then set in
`$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/environment.d/10-home-manager.conf' and picked up by
the systemd user manager.
To make these, and other variables set in
`systemd.user.sessionVariables', available in login shells, an
additional step is added to `etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh' which
exports the result of
`user-environment-generators/30-systemd-environment-d-generator' which
is shipped with systemd. The effect of this generator is to print
variables set on the systemd user manager such that shells can import
these into their environment.
This allows you to set a theme for Qt applications. For example, if you
want to use `adwaita-qt` theme to have uniform look between Gtk and Qt
applications, you can use it like this:
```nix
{
qt = {
enable = true;
platformTheme = "gnome";
style = {
name = "adwaita";
package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
};
};
}
```
This test started failing as described in the code comment. May be
related to Nixpkgs updating Fontconfig from version 2.12 to 2.13. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/73795.
Before the XDG variables would be set from the user's environment, if
available. This would break some tests.
With this change the tests should be fully deterministic.
Fixes#1190
