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.
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).
The branding's netinstall.yaml has a Base System group with 'base'
that gets added to packageOperations. The packages module then
reinstalls base without --ignore, triggering the same init-logind
resolution bug. Adding the same --ignore logic from the basestrap
module.
Using --ignore=elogind-dinit (and alphabetically-before providers for
other inits) prevents pacman --noconfirm from resolving init-logind
to the wrong provider. This is more robust than installing the
provider separately, which can fail if base's deps are missing.
dinit-rc and openrc both provide AND conflict with virtual init-rc and
cannot coexist. When base depends on init-logind (virtual), pacman with
--noconfirm picks the first alphabetically -- elogind-dinit over
elogind-openrc -- pulling in dinit -> dinit-rc, which conflicts with
openrc (pulled by elogind-openrc via dbus-openrc).
Fix: use operations.insert(0, ...) so elogind-{init} installs as a
separate pacman call BEFORE base, satisfying init-logind before base
needs it.
- Add antergos-next-keyring to basestrap install list so keyring files
are available in the target early (uses host keyring which already
trusts the Antergos key)
- Add antergos-next to keyrings list so pacman-key --populate imports
the Antergos key into the target's keychain
- try_remove artix-release so antergos-release doesn't conflict when
packages module runs later (replaces= PKGBUILD fix also pushed, but
this works regardless of rebuild)
- Fix remove() method in basestrap main.py: was missing --root <target>,
causing removals to operate on the HOST instead of the target
The basestrap module from calamares-extensions had a hardcoded check that
skipped installing 'base' if hasInternet wasn't True in global storage.
This silently left the target empty, causing the packages module to fail
with error 127 (pacman not found in chroot).
Changes:
- Make hasInternet check configurable via skip_if_no_internet (default false),
matching the packages module pattern
- Fix potential NameError when netinstallAdd isn't in global storage
- Copy basestrap.conf to global modules override so it's available to online
mode (the launcher only copies settings.conf, not module configs)
- antergos-wallpapers now installed into rootfs so the KDE wallpaper picker
shows the Antergos wallpaper automatically (package installs to
/usr/share/wallpapers/antergos-wallpaper/ with metadata.desktop).
- Restored calamares-config-switcher.desktop in live-overlay with
NoDisplay=true to hide 'Install Artix' from the app menu. Previous deletion
exposed the package version, making it visible again.
Strip out archiso (airootfs, efiboot, syslinux, mkarchiso, prepare.sh,
Dockerfile, mirrorlist, profiledef.sh, packages.x86_64, reset.sh,
run_before_squashfs.sh) and adopt artools buildiso with full antergos
iso-profiles. Bitch, you NEED therapy.
Are you threatening me?
- 154 files changed, 2804 insertions, 7352 deletions
- buildiso wrapper + iso-profiles/antergos/ (profile.yaml, root-overlay,
live-overlay) + iso-profiles/common/common.yaml
- pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf with antergos-pkgs repo first
...Are you THREATENING me in SKECHERS?!
- Calamares offline + online module dirs, antergos-next branding
- componentName must match dir or Branding.cpp goes full T-square
- calamares before calamares-branding-antergos-next so --overwrite='*'
wins correctly. YOU'RE ON YOUR FOURTH WIFE RIGHT NOW-
- calamares-next.desktop in live-overlay (/usr/share + /etc/skel/Desktop)
- netinstall.yaml bundled. No remote deps. Kill that bitch (Cnchi).
What fuckin' college would care if you drew some bullshit picture
about your feelings?
- CI: artixlinux/artixlinux:base container, install artools, buildiso -p
antergos, IA upload with collection=open_source_software. Class is in
session. Maybe I should grow 40 feet! Then you'd REALLY like me!
- IA: mediatype=software keeps us out of Community Texts jail. The
question is; what's this stick gonna do?
It's honestly super humbling, when the trashiest repo you know;
probably coked out of its mind... says the most thoughtful thing
you've done in years.
- README.md rewritten with Artix/OpenRC/KDE badges, build instructions,
migration notes. Nice SpongeBob impression. ...Nice SpongeBob impression.
- AGENTS.md updated (identity ritual, gotchas, commands, repo layout)
- Restore LICENSE, NOTICES, APOLOGY.txt, CHANGELOG.md from git history.
Some files you just don't let die. No matter what, you NEVER use that
N-word! (...should've said nothing.)
- .gitignore: work/ iso/ out/. Go work at Starbucks with your little apron.
So laugh all you want. Forget about me all you want. But at least
I'll be gorgeous forever. Mother, I'm in the SquashFS now.
