the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Running `nixos/tests/keepassxc.nix` shows:
```
machine # [ 18.705390] xsession[985]: /nix/store/2g2jx5c6x3p152wbiijr0rmky7byqivc-xsession: line 13: nn: command not found
```
This garbled bash script runs without `set -o errexit` and thus skips
"\n\n" as invalid command:
```
$ cat -n /nix/store/2g2jx5c6x3p152wbiijr0rmky7byqivc-xsession
...
\n\n
if [ -e $HOME/.background-image ]; then
/nix/store/wq1d1ph8wj4alpx78akvpbd0a0m9qkd1-feh-3.8/bin/feh --bg-scale $HOME/.background-image
fi
...
```
KeePassXC uses it through
`nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/default.nix`:
```
...
# Script responsible for starting the window manager and the desktop manager.
xsession = dm: wm: pkgs.writeScript "xsession" ''
#! ${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash
# Legacy session script used to construct .desktop files from
# `services.xserver.displayManager.session` entries. Called from
# `sessionWrapper`.
# Start the window manager.
${wm.start}
# Start the desktop manager.
${dm.start}
...
'';
...
```
The bogus line was introduced in PR #160752:

desktop manager script: start properly
Adds a missing line feed when X is enabled to the start script name
and the appended if check. Resolves#160735
```
I have not tried to reproduce the original issue and thus don't know
why "\n\n" apparently gets interpreted fine in one place but remains
literal the `xsession` case.
However, using a literal newline must be valid for all cases and
certainly fixes the warning seen in KeePassXC tests.
Furthermore, starting the nix string (`''`) with a newline as usual also
fixes its overall indentation.
- Add a module for the thunar file manager, which depends on the xfconf dbus service, and also has a dbus service and a systemd unit.
- Renames the option services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins to programs.thunar.plugins.
It is already installed by xdg.icons.enable.
Let’s also enable that option explicitly to prevent users from accidentally
disabling it since GNOME will be severely broken without it.

switchboard-plug-power is providing support for this since 2.7.0.
Note that we don't handle the conflict with tlp because we have
no way of knowing which way a user wants to resolve the conflict.
Recent `wrapGAppsHook` change stops `adwaita-icon-theme` from being added to `XDG_DATA_DIRS`:
b1e73fa2e0
Since `display-manager.service` does not have `/run/current-system/sw/share` in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`, it does not pick up the globally installed icon theme either, preventing icons from showing.
Let’s make Adwaita available to fix that for now.
Fixes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/171692
network-manager-applet uses differrent naming scheme from the VPN plug-ins.
Let’s revert to the previous state, for now, to fix eval. We can do the rename later.
This reverts commit cecb014d5d.
There is no need to install them when they will not be picked up
by the Appearance panel of GNOME Control Center without
a XML metadata file anyway.
They will be pulled into the closure via overrides
so that is not a concern either.
This reverts commit 7f3bc5b8fa.
This reverts commit fa607bc939.
`fcitx5` and `service.earlyoom` rely on use XDG autostart files to start.
But for X session with only window manager and no desktop manager
(`none` is used), no one can start them.
This options is added to run these autostart files for sessions without
desktop manager to make other services just work.
GNOME 42 needs two wallpaper pictures – for the default (light)
colour scheme and for the dark one. Because we are clearing out
the paths in `gsettings-desktop-schemas` to prevent closure
from bloating, we need to set them in the NixOS module.
Since the wallpaper for the default colour scheme is dark,
will relegate it to the dark colour scheme and switch
to a light blue variant for the default colour scheme.
That one has inverted roundel for the NixOS logo but
it is the only light-ish background that has the logo
of the same size and placing as the dark wallpaper.
Commit 7addb1c0ec disabled this as a
side effect of switching gnome-terminal to gnome-console, but it’s
still useful for gnome-console.

GNOME Shell 42 switched an icon for the accessibility menu in the top panel
to one from gnome-control-center instead of a legacy one from adwaita-icon-theme:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2155
Let’s add that dependency to the systemd unit since installing it
through `environment.systemPackages` is not enough due to environment isolation.
Sendto device selection is removed in gnome-bluetooth 42.
I decide it is not worth to maintain a legacy gnome-bluetooth
package for the contract.
This should also be broken in elementary OS 7.
For now at least. I expect someone will find a working type later.
It's incorrect and was causing bad issues. Example test case:
nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.xfce.x86_64-linux --dry-run
This is a partial revert of commit b2d803c from PR #162271.
