Fixes a longstanding issue whereby, due to our long fstab that included
pseudo file systems like cgroup mounts, graphical file managers would
display all of these. Initially reported at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-11/msg00084.html>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-fstab-entries): New procedure.
(file-system-service-type): Use it to extend FSTAB-SERVICE-TYPE.
This makes the first boot slightly faster.
* gnu/services/base.scm (not-config?): New procedure.
(hydra-key-authorization): Rewrite to pre-compute the default ACL, and
pre-compute it using (guix pki) directly.
Until now we were allocating the UIDs of build users above 30000, which
is in "normal" user UID range. This static allocation was unnecessary,
so this change lets the system allocate UIDs in the system range (below
1000).
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-build-accounts): Remove #:first-uid, and
remove 'uid' field from 'user-account'.
kmscon does not require that virtual terminals run in UTF-8 mode.
* gnu/services/base.scm (kmscon-service-type): Remove virtual-terminal from
requirement list.
These procedures were already either undocumented (and de facto
deprecated) or documented as deprecated or redundant.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-service, guix-publish-service): Mark as
deprecated.
* gnu/services/mcron.scm (mcron-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (tor-service): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (Scheduled Job Execution): Remove 'mcron-service' and
adjust example.
(Networking Services): Remove 'tor-service'.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (%mcron-os): Use 'mcron-service-type' instead of
'mcron-service'.
* gnu/tests/networking.scm (%tor-os): Use 'tor-service-type' instead of
'tor-service'.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise.
Previously, the 'unless (file-exists? "/etc/guix/acl")' guard would mean
that only the first key in the list would get registered since were were
generating one registration snippet per key. This fixes that.
* gnu/services/base.scm (hydra-key-authorization): Change to be a
'for-each' loop iterating on #$KEYS.
Add an auto-login option that behaves as the one of mingetty-service.
* gnu/services/base.scm (kmscon-configuration)[auto-login]: New field.
(kmscon-service-type): Pass it to kmscon command.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document it.
Fixes a bug in containers whereby 'virtual-terminal' would always fail
to start because writing to /sys/…/default_utf8 would fail with EROFS.
* gnu/services/base.scm (virtual-terminal-service-type): Read from
"default_utf8" before attempting to write to it.
* gnu/services/base.scm (udev-shepherd-service)[start](find): Remove.
(udev): Hardwire the eudev file name.
Use 'fork+exec-command' instead of 'primitive-fork' and 'exec-command'.
The previous implementation of 'read-reference-graph' was good enough
for many use cases, but it discarded the graph structure, which is
useful information in some cases.
* guix/build/store-copy.scm (<store-info>): New record type.
(read-reference-graph): Rewrite to return a list of <store-info>.
(closure-size, populate-store): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/services/base.scm (references-file): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (squashfs-image, docker-image): Likewise.
* tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->derivation #:references-graphs"): Likewise.
Fixes a regression introduced in
a5acc17a3c.
Reported by Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system->fstab-entry): Pass LABEL, not
FILE-SYSTEM, to 'file-system-label->string'.
The 'title' field was easily overlooked and was an endless source of
confusion. Now, the value of the 'device' field is self-contained.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>): Change constructor name
to '%file-system'.
[title]: Remove.
(<file-system-label>): New record type with printer.
(report-deprecation, device-expression)
(process-file-system-declaration, file-system): New macros.
(file-system-title): New procedure.
(file-system->spec, spec->file-system): Adjust to handle
<file-system-label>.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Add case for
'file-system-label?'.
(read-boot-parameters): Likewise.
(mapped-device-user): Avoid 'file-system-title'.
(fs->boot-device): Remove.
(operating-system-boot-parameters): Use 'file-system-device' instead of
'fs->boot-device'.
(device->sexp): Add case for 'file-system-label?'.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Add case for
'file-system-label?'.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/beaglebone-black.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: Remove uses of 'title'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Remove uses of
'file-system-title'.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (check-file-system-availability): Likewise,
and adjust fix-it hint.
(check-initrd-modules)[file-system-/dev]: Likewise.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Remove 'title'
parameter.
[canonical-title]: Remove.
Match on SPEC's type rather than on CANONICAL-TITLE.
(mount-file-system): Adjust caller.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Interpret ROOT here.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system->fstab-entry): Remove use of
'file-system-title'.
* doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Remove documentation of the 'title'
field. Rewrite documentation of 'device' and document
'file-system-label'.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-gpm-options): New variable.
(<gpm-configuration>)[gpm, options]: Add default values.
(gpm-service-type)[default-value]: New field.
(gpm-service): Use %DEFAULT-GPM-OPTIONS and mark as deprecated.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document 'gpm-service-type' and
'gpm-configuration'. Remove 'gpm-service'.
Previously the KNOWN-FS value used in 'essential-services' would be
incomplete: it would lack all the file systems provided by services that
extend 'file-system-service-type' (/sys/fs/cgroup,
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc, etc.) Consequently, upon shutdown,
'user-processes' would unmount these file systems before their
corresponding service had been stopped; when their corresponding (e.g.,
'file-system-/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc') was stopped, its 'umount' call
would fail.
This was harmless in practice, but this patch makes sure things work as
intended and file systems are unmounted in the right order.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-shepherd-services): Instantiate
'user-file-systems' Shepherd service from here.
(user-unmount-service-type, user-unmount-service): Remove.
* gnu/system.scm (essential-services): Remove call to 'user-unmount-service'.
* gnu/system/install.scm (cow-store-service-type): Adjust comment.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<guix-configuration>)[chroot-directories]: New
field.
(guix-shepherd-service): Honor it.
(references-file): New procedure.
(guix-service-type)[compose, extend]: New fields.
* gnu/services/base.scm (urandom-seed-service-type)[default-value]: New
field.
(urandom-seed-service): Mark as deprecated.
(%base-services): Use URANDOM-SEED-SERVICE-TYPE directly.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%base-services):
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document 'urandom-seed-service-type'
instead of 'urandom-seed-service'.
This ensures that 'urandom-seed' is started before programs that rely on
sources of randomness.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/29773>.
Reported by Leo Famulari <leo@famulari.name>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (urandom-seed-shepherd-service): Change
'requirement' to (file-systems).
(urandom-seed-service-type): Extend USER-PROCESSES-SERVICE-TYPE.
* gnu/services/base.scm (user-processes-shepherd-service): New
procedure, taken from former 'user-processes-service-type'. Add
REQUIREMENTS argument; remove GRACE-DELAY argument.
(user-processes-service-type): Redefine in terms of 'service-type'.
(user-processes-service): Remove.
(file-system-service-type): Extend USER-PROCESSES-SERVICE-TYPE.
* gnu/system.scm (essential-services): Use USER-PROCESSES-SERVICE-TYPE
directly.
* gnu/services/base.scm (urandom-seed-shepherd-service): Try to read from
'/dev/hwrng' at boot, as a supplement to any saved random seed.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document the new feature.
This is more robust, faster, and incidentally gets rid of remaining
"error in the finalization thread: Bad file descriptor" messages.
* gnu/services/base.scm (unicode-start): Rewrite to use 'tcgetattr' and
'tcsetattr'.
(console-font-shepherd-services)[start]: Add 'loop' to check whether
DEVICE is ready. Tolerate EX_OSERR return from 'setfont'.
[modules]: New field.
