Place pipewire.desktop in root-overlay /etc/skel/.config/autostart/
so PipeWire starts via XDG autostart on login via the patched
artix-pipewire-launcher (now supports dinit in our pipewire fork).
Configure SDDM [Wayland] section with kwin_wayland compositor
command for a Wayland-native greeter display.
Includes:
- buildiso: antergos theme symlinked as artix for prepare_grub
- profile.yaml: dinit-user-spawn -> userspawn-dinit, added
dbus-dinit-user, pipewire-pulse-dinit, userspawn-dinit to livefs,
antergos-lsb-release
- services-artix.conf: dinit-user-spawn -> userspawn
- basestrap.conf: xlibre-xserver for online install
- pacman.conf: IgnorePkg xorg-server to avoid conflict with xlibre
- sddm.conf: Wayland compositor command
- common.yaml: cleanup (dedup lsb-release, vi->ex-vi-compat,
remove artix-grub-theme, jack2, noto-fonts-emoji)
- iso-x86_64.conf: IgnorePkg xorg-server for ISO build
xlibre-xserver is the modern Artix unified X server that provides
both x11win-server (required by SDDM) and xorg-server (required by
all DEs). Setting use-xlibre: false caused the old split packages
(x11win-server from system repo vs xorg-server from world repo) to
conflict during online installs when users selected SDDM + any DE
that pulls xorg-server/xlibre-xserver.
Switched both full and minimal profiles to use-xlibre: true.
SDDM pulls x11win-server (system repo) which conflicts with
xlibre-xserver (world repo) pulled by Cinnamon/MATE/LXQt.
Added warning descriptions to all DM choices suggesting
LightDM for incompatible combos.
- YAML document separator '---' was glued to 'qmlSearch' key, causing
the notesqml module to fall back to default example release notes
- Copied the config to calamares-online/modules/ and
calamares-offline/modules/ so both modes can find it
Introduces iso-profiles/antergos-minimal/, a new Xfce-based profile for
building a lightweight Antergos NeXT ISO under the 2 GB GitHub Releases
limit (the full Plasma profile produces ~2.15 GB).
Profile structure:
- profile.yaml: Xfce4 desktop, dinit-only init packages, Falkon browser,
minimal app selection, antergos-xfce-theme included in rootfs
- root-overlay/: SDDM configured for xfce.desktop, GRUB theme pointed to
antergos, xfconf settings for Antergos-NeXT GTK/xfwm4 theme
- live-overlay/: Calamares offline + online configs, netinstall with
multiple DE options (Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3, Sway,
Hyprland), notesqml@minimal-info step explaining the edition rationale,
basestrap operations for antergos-release/grub-theme/keyring, display
manager selection (SDDM/LightDM/LXDM/LY), audio services (pipewire),
and antergos-xfce-theme in the Xfce subgroup
Default Xfce theme is set to Antergos-NeXT (Numix-derived, blue accent)
via xfconf XML in both live-overlay and root-overlay skel directories.
Restores original callback (hardcoded False), pretty_status_message refactor,
umask pattern, known_inits name, unguarded operations access, and inline
subst_locale — all of which were changed in earlier CodeQL fix commits.
Keeps only harmless changes: unused import removal (sys, re), PEP8 comma
space, and _change_mode zero-division guard.
Adds large ASCII warning header: DO NOT EDIT without full ISO test.

basestrap module (from calamares-extensions) reads netinstallAdd only
for the init provider name (e.g. 'dinit') to add elogind-dinit. It
does NOT install the subgroup packages from the user's packagechooser
selection (networkmanager-dinit, pipewire-dinit, etc.). So these were
selected in the GUI but never present in the target system.
Since the netinstall view's packageOperations -> packages module flow
works correctly, move all required *-dinit service packages into the
netinstall.yaml Default group (online) and profile.yaml rootfs (offline).
Also revert settings.conf back to services-artix + postcfg — these
modules DO exist (from calamares-extensions) and work correctly when
the service packages are installed. Remove the unnecessary shellprocess
files that were added as a mistaken workaround.
services-artix and postcfg Calamares modules don't exist in upstream
Calamares (they're Garuda/Artix fork patches). Our custom Calamares
builds from pure upstream, so these steps get silently skipped during
installation, leaving NO services enabled in the installed system.
Replace them with shellprocess@enable-services, which uses the
built-in shellprocess module to run a post-install script that:
- Detects the init system (dinit/openrc/runit/s6)
- Enables all system services via boot.d symlinks or equivalent
- Sets up user services (pipewire, wireplumber) for the created user
Affects both online and offline installer settings.
add_svc_dinit() in services.sh creates boot.d symlinks for each service
listed in live-session: services: — but only if the service file exists
at /etc/dinit.d/<name>. Without the -dinit packages installed in the
livefs, all services were silently skipped and the display manager
never started.
Add acpid-dinit, bluez-dinit, cronie-dinit, cups-dinit,
networkmanager-dinit, power-profiles-daemon-dinit, sddm-dinit,
syslog-ng-dinit, dbus-dinit, pipewire-dinit, wireplumber-dinit
- Plasma group in netinstall.yaml now includes antergos-plasma-theme,
antergos-next-desktop-settings, and full KDE app list from branding
- Default group adds networkmanager, pipewire, pipewire-pulse,
wireplumber, firefox, mesa for working network/audio out of the box
- Init chooser packagechooser.conf adds pipewire-dinit and
wireplumber-dinit services to all four init sections (dinit, openrc,
s6, runit) for audio service enablement
finished.conf was only in calamares-online/modules/ and
calamares-offline/modules/, not in calamares/modules/. When
settings.conf gets copied at runtime, Calamares looks for
modules at /etc/calamares/modules/finished.conf which didn't
exist, silently falling back to defaults with systemctl reboot
(broken on Artix).
OpenRC conflicts with dinit-rc over virtual init-rc. Runit and S6
use different virtuals so they're fine. OpenRC stays listed but
with a visible warning until a fix is found.
All approaches to keep OpenRC as default failed:
- --ignore: pacman ignores it during fresh install provider resolution
- --assume-installed=init-logind: ALPM doesn't check assume-installed for virtual providers
- --ask=12: infinite loop (pacman re-adds elogind-dinit after each removal)
- dummy package in custom repo: init-rc conflict hits via different path
Dinit works because pacman --noconfirm naturally picks elogind-dinit
(alphabetically before elogind-openrc), pulling dinit-rc which has no
conflict. All inits (OpenRC, Runit, S6) remain selectable in the
online installer.
Changes:
- buildiso: INITSYS='dinit', remove --assume-installed/--ask hacks
- basestrap/main.py, packages/main.py: remove same hacks
- profile.yaml: antergos-live-dinit for dinit, move openrc pkg to init-specific
- packagechooser.conf (x2): default=Dinit, Dinit first in item list
- packagechooser_dm.conf: *-dinit instead of *-openrc
- README.md, README.pl.md, docs/*: update all OpenRC-first references
- AGENTS.md: document dinit as default
--ignore doesn't reliably prevent pacman from considering elogind-dinit
during fresh provider resolution on all pacman versions. --assume-installed
creates a dummy installed package for init-logind, satisfying the
dependency from base without needing any provider at all. The explicitly
listed elogind-openrc then gets installed normally and provides
init-logind for real.
Dropped --ignore entirely in favor of --assume-installed + --ask=4
(conflict resolution safety net). --assume-installed only added for
non-dinit providers (openrc, runit, s6).
