This config is for [Librem 13v3](https://puri.sm/products/librem-13/) and [15v3](https://puri.sm/products/librem-15/) Laptops from Purism. Librem comes with Coreboot + SeaBIOS payload. That means EFI boot is not possible. Use `fdisk` to partition hard drive, and GRUB as a bootloader: ```nix { boot.loader.grub = { enable = true; device = "/dev/sda"; version = 2; }; } ``` ## Adding a PureOS partition to the GRUB menu I first assume that `boot.loader.grub.useOSProber = true;` should be sufficient. However GRUB was not able to identify the disks correctly and it took me several reinstallation till setting `boot.loader.grub.fsIdentifier= "provided";` and using boot.loader.grub.extraEntries allowed me to dual boot NixOS and PureOS. Be aware that each time the PureOS updates the /boot/grub/grub.cfg you will be unable to boot into NixOS unless you patch grub.cfg manually again. Therefore: If you want to be able to boot into your old PureOS distribution add the following lines, assuming that you have a separate boot partition Adapt linux version and the UUID to your disk!! ```nix { boot.loader.grub.useOSProber = false; boot.loader.grub.fsIdentifier= "provided"; boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '' menuentry "PureOS with linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 on /dev/sdb2 " { insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 ef7a4dcf-8cc4-4870-b860-3ed64906f9b9 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ef7a4dcf-8cc4-4870-b860-3ed64906f9b9 fi linux /vmlinuz-4.19.0-5-amd64 root=UUID=43899f26-04f2-4ccb-b52a-c9441f1a1a6d ro quiet splash resume=UUID=923317f8-d8bb-4e1f-bca3-f36a556de609 # $vt_handoff initrd /initrd.img-4.19.0-5-amd64 }; } ``` ## Automatically lock the desktop when removing the librem key The [instructions](https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_Key/Getting_Started/User_Manual.html#automatically-lock-the-desktop-when-removing-the-librem-key) to lock the screen after unplugging the [Librem Key](https://puri.sm/products/librem-key/#overview) don't work under NixOS. This snippet works on my Librem 15v3 laptop running KDE without wayland and is using the xlock from the package xlockmore. ```nix { pkgs, services , systemd, ... }: let libremScreenSaver = pkgs.writeScriptBin "libremScreenSaver" '' #!${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash user=`ps aux | egrep "start_kdeinit|gdm-(wayland|x)-session"| head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}'` if [ -n "$user" ]; then sudo -u $user DISPLAY=:0 xlock 2>&1 | logger lockScreen for user $user else logger libremScreenSaver failed to find a user. Not running KDE? fi ''; in { services.udev.path = [ pkgs.procps pkgs.logger pkgs.gawk pkgs.xlockmore ]; services.udev.extraRules = '' ACTION=="remove", ENV{PRODUCT}=="316d/4c4b/101" RUN+="${pkgs.systemd}/bin/systemctl --no-block start lockScreen@%k.service" ''; systemd.services."lockScreen@" = { bindsTo = [ "dev-%i.device"] ; path = [ pkgs.procps pkgs.logger pkgs.sudo pkgs.xlockmore pkgs.gawk ] ; serviceConfig = { Type = "oneshot"; # was simple ExecStart = "${libremScreenSaver}/bin/libremScreenSaver %I"; }; }; } ```
