Add Name[locale] for 14 European languages so the menu entry
shows a translated name in non-English locales instead of
vanishing. Keeps Name[en] and unqualified Name as fallback.
the antergos iso build might happen today maybe idk but we're ready(er)
- grub now tries 1920x1080 before 1024x768 (your monitor from 2005 says hi)
- installed users get zsh because bash is for the great pyramid
- spice-vdagent so VMs stop feeling like a divorce
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
live-overlay had an 11-line appletsrc (no panels) that overwrote
the 665-line version from antergos-layan-theme during ISO build.
This caused Plasma to run the look-and-feel layout script instead
of using the full 2-panel config.
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.
- Add COSMIC desktop subgroup to online netinstall (galaxy repo)
- Add greetd as display manager option in packagechooser_dm.conf
(required by COSMIC's cosmic-greeter)
- Replace non-transparent 900x650 logo with transparent removebg version
at 128x92 (128x128) and 256x185 (256x256) in root-overlay icon theme paths
- Update docs to reflect COSMIC availability and greetd option
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
