Re: [Nix-dev] Systemd branch merged
I can report success using the 0.2/systemd version on Linode (xen), with one small issue: the now obsolete services.mingetty.ttys line should be removed from virtualisation/xen-domU.nix. Thanks Eelco (et. al.)! -Kevin On Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:01:23 -0700, Eelco Dolstra eelco.dols...@logicblox.com wrote: Hi all, As promised, I've finally merged NixOS' systemd branch. This changes NixOS' init system from Upstart to systemd. Once the NixOS channel has caught up, upgrading is done as usual (nix-channel --update; nixos-rebuild switch) except that you need to reboot to make the upgrade take effect. (If you're using Charon, you can use its --allow-reboot flag to do this automatically.) The two main things to know if you're a systemd newbie: - System services are managed using systemctl instead of initctl. See the systemctl(1) manpage for details. - Syslogd does not run by default anymore, since systemd's journald performs syslog logging. This means that /var/log/messages is no longer used. Instead, you should run journalctl to see log messages, or systemctl status service-name for service-specific messages. If you really need syslogd, you can enable it by setting services.syslogd.enable to true. The NixOS manual (run nixos-help to read it.) has more information. Definitive systemd info is in the systemd manpages (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/). If for whatever reason you don't want to switch to systemd at this time, you can use the upstart branches of NixOS and Nixpkgs. To use them, get a checkout of the NixOS/Nixpkgs trees (e.g. using nixos-checkout), then do git checkout upstart in both and use nixos-rebuild -I ... to point nixos-rebuild at those trees. I've bumped the NixOS version number from 0.1 to 0.2, so 0.1 = Upstart, = 0.2 = systemd. (And to immortalize the Upstart era, there is a final Upstart-based NixOS release at http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-0.1/.)

Not really similar, I had some minor problems with Wi-Fi due to different driver priority and different interface name. Another thing: it doesn't seem normal that my non-root ext4 partition wants to be checked on *every* start now? I thought it is usually done once a month or so (I switched off checking journalling FSs). Otherwise it works good for me, for two days so far.

Re: [Nix-dev] Systemd branch merged
Excellent stuff! I experienced no issues. I think, though I haven't actually measured it, the time to boot to X login is shorter.
