Non-critical packages (Desktop/Plasma group, Utilities) went through try_install which installed them one-at-a-time (45 individual pacman calls). Override operation_try_install in PMPacman to batch all plain-string packages into a single call, matching the behavior of operation_install.
Also:
- Remove antergos-plasma-theme from rootfs (profile.yaml) and both netinstall Plasma groups
- Add allowFileSystemTypeSelection: true to both antergos and minimal partition.conf
- Both main.py files (profile + minimal) get the batching fix
so github told me my repo has NO community standards apparently
CODE_OF_CONDUCT? nonexistent. ISSUE_TEMPLATES? nada.
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE? the void stared back.
and github profiles has a little checklist like im some
kind of degenerate who doesnt know how to run a project.
well NOW i have standards. and they are ROCK SOLID STABLE.
you want systemd? fork from before-systemd-change and figure
it out yourself, i gave you a numbered tutorial right in the
CoC. the AI moderator will read it and then politely but
firmly tell you to go fork yourself (the repo, not literally,
read the CoC).
also threw in the pixie SDDM switch that i apparently never
committed to the netinstall yamls either (kill me), the batch
install main.py cleanup, and fixed the README lying about
why artix.
DEUS VULT and please file your issues in the YAML forms
provided or the AI will judge you
why the FUCK did i think making an init selector was a good idea
artix themselves dont even ship services in their online installer
they just give you a bare system and say "figure it out" and
it WORKS because people can just install their init of choice
afterwards. but nooooo i had to be clever and build a whole
netinstall-add monstrosity with openrc/runit/s6 service groups
that broke constantly because basestrap --overwrite is a lie
and init packages conflict with each other and sddm-openrc +
lightdm-openrc both Provide: init-displaymanager and pacman
just goes 🖕 during install.
so anyway. dinit only now. you want something else? read
changing-init.md, i literally copied the artix wiki tutorial.
i am not maintaining four init service groups in netinstall.yaml
for the rest of my life. this is my villain origin story.
actual changes:
- ripped out offline calamares mode (was never truly offline)
- ripped out packagechooser.conf (good fucking riddance)
- added packagechooser_dm.conf so you can at least pick your DM
- added BYODE offline installer (bare system + btrfs + snapper,
no DE, you pacman -Sy plasma-meta yourself)
- added yay + snapper + btrfs-progs to rootfs
- shoved Init Services + DM groups into netinstall.yaml (dinit
only, obviously)
- updated every markdown file that mentioned another init like
they were cursed (they were)
- wrote changing-init.md so i can just paste the link next time
someone asks
- X-KDE-IsAdminApplication=true so KDE stops acting like
calamares is a virus (its not, its just desperate)
The packagechooser_dm.conf has greetd as a DM option with
method: netinstall-select, but no matching 'greetd' group existed
in /etc/calamares/modules/netinstall.yaml (which is what Calamares
loads in online mode via modules-search: [local] resolution).
Without the group, selecting greetd silently fails and the
displaymanager module falls back to SDDM instead.
Add greetd + greetd-dinit group alongside the existing SDDM,
LightDM, LXDM, LY groups.
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.
- 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
antergos-release was missing from packages.yaml so the CI never
built it, causing error code 1 when the packages module tried to
install it. Now re-added to both CI config and Default netinstall
group.
antergos-release PKGBUILD exists but the package was never built
and deployed to the GitHub Pages repo. The packages module tried to
install it and pacman returned error code 1 (package not found).
Remove it until the CI builds and deploys it.
Also remove try_remove: artix-release from basestrap since it's not
needed without antergos-release in the Default group.
- Add antergos-release, antergos-next-keyring, antergos-wallpapers to
Default netinstall group (both global and online) so installed system
keeps Antergos branding instead of appearing as plain Artix
- Populate services-artix.conf (both online + offline) with service names
so SDDM, NetworkManager, dbus, etc. are enabled after install (fixes
boot-to-TTY issue)
- Create grubcfg.conf for online mode with GRUB_THEME default so
antergos-grub-theme is actually applied by grub-mkconfig
- buildiso: copy Antergos GRUB theme to ISO boot directory
- profile.yaml: add antergos-grub-theme to rootfs packages
- netinstall: move antergos-grub-theme from optional Style to mandatory Default group
- main.xml: set Antergos wallpaper as KDE system default
- set-antergos-wallpaper.sh: add QDbus fallback, wait for plasmashell
- .gitignore: ignore linux-next/ and winver/
