# mibook: choose terminal-only vs desktop at boot
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Goal
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Let mibook boot to a text console by default, with KDE fully installed and
|
|
||||||
launchable on demand. The user decides after boot whether they need the
|
|
||||||
graphical desktop, without rebuilding the system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Behavior
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- mibook boots to a text console (`multi-user.target`). SDDM and Plasma do
|
|
||||||
**not** start automatically.
|
|
||||||
- KDE (SDDM + Plasma 6) remains fully installed.
|
|
||||||
- Running `desktop` in the terminal starts the SDDM display manager, which
|
|
||||||
presents the graphical login screen; logging in there enters a Plasma 6
|
|
||||||
session.
|
|
||||||
- No reverse command. To return to a text console, stop the display manager
|
|
||||||
(`sudo systemctl stop display-manager`) or reboot.
|
|
||||||
- Other machines that enable the `kde-desktop` profile are unaffected; their
|
|
||||||
desktop still starts on boot.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Implementation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### `modules/environments/kde-desktop/default.nix`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Add an opt-out option to the existing profile:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- New option `my.profiles.kde-desktop.startOnBoot`, a boolean defaulting to
|
|
||||||
`true`. The default preserves the current behavior for every consumer.
|
|
||||||
- The existing `config` block (SDDM, Plasma 6, user packages) stays enabled
|
|
||||||
whenever the profile is enabled, regardless of `startOnBoot`.
|
|
||||||
- When `startOnBoot = false`, additionally apply:
|
|
||||||
- `systemd.services.display-manager.wantedBy = lib.mkForce [ ];` so SDDM is
|
|
||||||
defined but not pulled in by any boot target.
|
|
||||||
- `systemd.defaultUnit = "multi-user.target";` so the boot target is the
|
|
||||||
text console.
|
|
||||||
- A `desktop` command provided via
|
|
||||||
`pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "desktop" "exec sudo systemctl start display-manager.service"`,
|
|
||||||
added to `environment.systemPackages`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### `machines/mibook/environments.nix`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Set `kde-desktop.startOnBoot = false;` alongside the existing
|
|
||||||
`kde-desktop.enable = true;`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Testing / verification
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `nix build '.#nixosConfigurations.mibook.config.system.build.toplevel'`
|
|
||||||
builds without error.
|
|
||||||
- After `nixos-rebuild switch` on mibook: system boots to a TTY, no SDDM;
|
|
||||||
running `desktop` brings up the SDDM login and a working Plasma session.
|
|
||||||
- Confirm jupiter (or any non-mibook consumer) is unchanged: its evaluated
|
|
||||||
`systemd.defaultUnit` / display-manager wantedBy are not altered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Trade-offs
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `desktop` relies on `sudo`; the user has sudo access, so no extra
|
|
||||||
configuration is required.
|
|
||||||
- Chose "boot to terminal, launch on demand" over a GRUB boot-menu entry
|
|
||||||
because it is more robust across NixOS generations and needs no fragile
|
|
||||||
static kernel entries.
