Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the
regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries,
for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB.
Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed
bcachefs later ;-)
Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end
of the list.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the
LISTBOX-ITEMS.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add ‘xfs’ to the
list box.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type)
(partition-filesystem-user-type): Add ‘xfs’ mapping.
(create-xfs-file-system): New procedure.
(format-user-partitions): Use it.
* gnu/installer.scm (set-installer-path): Add xfsprogs.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50723>.
The keymap xml contains optional shortDescription and description fields. The
assoc-ref call on those fields can return false, handle it correctly.
* gnu/installer/keymap.scm (xkb-rules->models+layouts): Introduce a new
"maybe-empty" helper to deal with optional fields. Use it for shortDescription
and description fields.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (choose-services): Accept a new
choose-other-service? keyword argument, defaulting to false.
Expect an "Other services" checkbox-list. Update docstring.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add CUPS.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-other-services-cbt-page):
New procedure.
(run-services-page): Call it last.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49126>.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Fix the return value when
removing a free space partition.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47780>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (installation-device): New method.
(non-install-devices): Remove devices which are reported as read-only by
parted or which path is identical to the installation device path returned by
the above method.
The "fat" file-system mount type doesn't exist in Linux. Trying to mount a
FAT16 partition with "fat" file-system type returns -ENODEV.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48419>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type->mount-type): Use the "vfat"
file-system for FAT16 partitions.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (&cannot-read-uuid): New condition.
(cannot-read-uuid?, cannot-read-uuid-partition): New procedures.
(check-user-partitions): Check that all user-partitions have a valid UUID,
raide the above condition otherwise.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Run an error page if the
&cannot-read-uuid condition is raised.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (conclude-installation): Rename it into ...
(start-installation): ... this new procedure.
(complete-installation): New procedure.
(choose-partitioning): Add an uefi-support? argument.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (uefi-firmware): New procedure.
(run-install, qemu-command/writable-image, gui-test-program,
installation-target-os-for-gui-tests): Add an uefi-support? argument.
(%extra-packages): Add grub-efi, fatfsck/static and dosfstools.
(%test-gui-installed-os): New variable.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47889>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (esp-partition?): Remove the MSDOS check.
(auto-partition!): On MSDOS disks, check if an ESP partition is present. If
that's the case, do not remove it. Otherwise, if UEFI is supported, create
one.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45378>.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm (run-layout-page): Return false when
"Continue" button is pressed.
(run-keymap-page): Do not try to compute variants if layout is false. Also do
not try to format the result if layout is false.
* gnu/installer.scm (compute-keymap-step): Do not apply keymap if
"run-keymap-page" returns false.
This reverts commit aecd2a13cb for two
reasons:
1. The warning would fire every time (gnu services ssh) is loaded;
2. There's still no clear consensus on the approach to follow as
discussed in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44808>.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/44808>.
Reported by Christopher Lemmer Webber <cwebber@dustycloud.org>.
* gnu/services/ssh.scm (true-but-soon-false): New procedure.
(<openssh-configuration>)[password-authentication?]: Change default to
'true-but-soon-false'.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Explicitly set
'password-authentication?' to #f.
Reported by Florian Pelz:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00326.html.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (call-with-time): New procedure,
(let/time): new macro.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (with-delay-device-in-use?): Increase the retry
count to 16.
(non-install-devices): Remove the call to with-delay-device-in-use? as it
doesn't return the expected result, and would block much longer now.
(free-parted): Log the time required to sync each device.
* gnu/installer/newt/partitions.scm (define-module): Use (ice-9 format).
(draw-formatting-page): Add parameter partitions and provide the list of
formatted partitions to the user.
(run-partitioning-page): Provide user-partitions to draw-formatting-page.
Note: This change requires an updated 'guix' package that contains
Linux-swap support in (gnu build file-systems).
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-partitions->configuration): Use UUIDs
in the 'swap-devices' field.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-final-page)[wait-for-clients]: New
procedure. Use it.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (choose-partitioning): Wait for
'starting-final-step' message and move configuration file dialog
handling to...
(conclude-installation): ... here. Send over PORT the reply
corresponding to 'starting-final-step'.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (gui-test-program): When ENCRYPTED? is false,
invoke 'swaplabel' in the marionette.
(installation-target-os-for-gui-tests): When ENCRYPTED? is false, except
a fixed UUID.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): New procedure,
(install-system): use it instead of call-with-container, to make sure that the
container is not jailed.
When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.
To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID
argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that
guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using
fork+exec-command/container procedure.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it,
(install-system): run the installation from within a container.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
If a device contains an active logical volume, BLKRRPART will report that the
device is busy. This will cause this device to be filtered by
"non-install-devices" procedure, which is not desired.
Make sure to deactivate all logical volumes before device probing.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/42683>.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add lvm2-static to the inputs.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (remove-logical-devices): New procedure,
(init-parted): call it.
This adds support for creating and editing NTFS partitions. It is however not
possible yet to create root NTFS partitions, as overlaying on top of a fuse
partition does not seem supported.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add "ntfs-3g" to the inputs.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type,
partition-filesystem-user-type, create-ntfs-file-system,
format-user-partitions): Add NTFS support.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add NTFS support.
When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read
"guix system init" command output.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Dump installation command output
to the console when running the installation tests.
