Relates to Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso#14 (online install had no KDE
session; SDDM showed nothing).
Root cause: we run TWO packagechooser instances (DE chooser + DM chooser),
both with method: netinstall-add. Upstream Calamares tags all netinstall
data with the same hardcoded "packageChooser" source string, so when the
second instance (packagechooser@dm) wrote its groups it pruned EVERYTHING
tagged packageChooser from global storage - including the DE's groups.
KDE never reached packageOperations, so Plasma was never installed.
Fix: tag each instance's netinstall data with its own instance id
(packagechooser@de / packagechooser@dm, via m_defaultId) and prune using
that same id. Each chooser now only removes its own stale data and the
other instance's groups survive the merge.
Version: CALAMARES_VERSION 3.4.2 -> 3.4.2-w0k3 (BREATHTAKING).
Shows in About dialog, --version and libcalamares. pkgrel 8 -> 9,
local makepkg build of 3.4.2-9 verified clean.
Also add ntp-dinit to Init Services group in netinstall.yaml, so the
service exists on the installed system (relates to Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso#13).
- bump calamares-branding-antergos-next to 2.0-1: major slideshow redesign
(Manjaro space animation rework), DM packagechooser switched to netinstall-add
with inline groups, default netinstall group gains network/audio/falkon so
every install works regardless of DE, fix pkgdesc (offline installer buried)
- remove dead calamares-branding-antergos-next-minimal package (unused
everywhere); drop from packages.yaml and README
- bump antergos-i3/sway/hyprland-config to 1.0-2: nerd fonts and icons back in
depends so the rice actually renders, sources flattened for makepkg
- calamares: insert cosmic-greeter-start branch into DMgreetd.set_autologin
(anchored on the ddlm elif) so COSMIC+greetd installs launch the correct
greeter instead of falling back to agreety. pkgrel 7 -> 8.
- branding netinstall: add vulkan-nouveau so newer NVIDIA GPUs work via the
open NVK stack without nvidia-open. pkgrel bump not needed (netinstall only).
Fixes issue #1: two PKGBUILD files had wrong repo URL after repo rename.
packages/antergos-next-desktop-settings/PKGBUILD line 8
packages/antergos-next-mirrorlist/PKGBUILD line 8
Codeberg's HTTP/2 endpoint is flaky and resets connections on
calamares-3.4.2.tar.gz. Forcing --http1.1 with --retry 5 avoids
the 'HTTP/2 stream 7 reset by server' error.
DLAGENTS in PKGBUILD is supported — Arch BBS and makepkg source
confirm it's read from the shell environment after sourcing.
The em dash (U+2014) in pkgdesc and optdepends strings was replaced
with a regular ASCII dash to avoid potential parser issues in the CI
container's bash version.
Two sed patches (same pattern as existing GRUB patches):
- Comment out remove_calamares_launcher in antergos-live script
so our branded calamares.desktop survives boot and shows
in the app menu with locale translations.
- Uncomment calamares section in desktop-items so it copies
calamares.desktop to the localized Desktop path (e.g.
~/Pulpit/ for Polish) instead of only the NoExtract'd
calamares-config-switcher.desktop.
ships Retro Sun WPE.mp4 (credit: James White design, E-Cube anim) as
default desktop wallpaper via Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn plasmoid.
muted by default so your ears dont get synthwaved at 6am.
mpv bumped from optdepends to depends bc we ship a video now.
also the layan theme now comes with a built-in rave, you're welcome.
- Remove explicit width/height from fastfetch logo config so kitty auto-sizes without stretching
- Remove stray keyWidth:20 from first section footer that shifted bottom border right
- Add 4 dashes to first footer to match header width (71 chars each)
- Update slideshow COSMIC text and welcome app copy
- Fetch description/URL/license/depends from AUR API for packages
without local PKGBUILD (AUR-only packages like kwin-zones, etc.)
- Add keyword/description-based category fallback so unknown packages
aren't all 'other' — maps keywords like 'kwin' → desktop,
'aur/helper/pacman' → tool, 'icon-theme' → branding, etc.
- Keep explicit category rules for known packages
customButtonImage=distributor-logo-archlinux falls back to generic
with Tela-circle. Replace with start-here-kde-antergos SVG shipped
to hicolor/scalable/places, point kicker at it.
Also bump pkgrel 1->2.
remember when i thought an offline installer was a good idea?
a pre-built squashfs that still needed internet to install DEs?
"offline" in name only. it was a lie. a beautiful, naive lie.
so i killed it. ripped out the mode picker, the connectivity check,
the whole AskMode() circus. calamares-next now just shows a notice
saying "yeah that wasnt actually offline" and launches directly
into online mode. no more pretending.
also fixed the QML nav button because having a greyed out "Next"
on the last page is terrible UX. now it says "Done" and quits.
youre welcome.
and since we nuked the offline mode, might as well make the
online mode look fucking spectacular. enter antergos-layan-theme:
- kvantum theme because your apps deserve better than qt dreck
- sddm theme (AntergosDark-Layan) for a sexy login screen
- every plasma plasmoid from the rice (panel colorizer, netspeed,
shutdown switch, applets, separators, music toolbar, the works)
- yakuake arc-dark skin
- antergos logos in /usr/share/logos and /usr/share/pixmaps
- konsole profile, desktop appletsrc, all that jazz
- kde_settings.conf now points to AntergosDark-Layan sddm theme
also replaced the old antergos-grub-theme with the Layan grub
theme because the old one was a git-sourced abomination. 75 distro
icons, terminal box, selection widgets, antergos wallpaper.
ships to /usr/share/grub/themes/antergos/ so calamares finds it.
oh and a dozen audit fixes:
- kscreenlockerrc wallpaper path fixed
- kdialogrc no longer says some other distro
- 7 stale knsregistry files deleted (dev machine was leaking)
- systemd-inhibit guarded with command -v (dinit doesnt have it)
- plasma restart uses killall not systemctl --user
- "XeroLinux Toolkit" -> "Antergos Toolkit" in appletsrc
- KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 -> =6 (its 2026)
- mirrorlist script says Artix not Arch
- SDDM Messages.sh removed from build artifacts
Online installs don't get root-overlay files, so the antergos-logo
at hicolor icon theme paths (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/{128,256}x{128,256}/apps/
and /usr/share/pixmaps/) was missing on online-installed systems.
Add transparent logo PNGs at proper sizes to the wallpapers package,
which is already included in the online netinstall group.
Bump pkgrel to 7.
Fork pipewire 1:1.6.7-1 from Artix world repo with a patched
artix-pipewire-launcher that sets SUPPORT='YES' for dinit.
Previously the launcher treated dinit as unsupported (alongside
openrc), which broke XDG autostart of pipewire.desktop on
dinit-based systems. Users were told to use dinitctl instead.
This patch enables direct XDG autostart on dinit by changing:
dinit|openrc) SUPPORT='' ;;
to:
openrc) SUPPORT='' ;;
dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES' ;;
Add pipewire to packages.yaml so CI picks it up.
The minimal-info.qml file existed in the package directory but was
never listed in the source array or copied in package(), so the
notesqml module couldn't find it and failed to load.
The gtk-color-scheme was using light variant colors (bg:#eeeeee,
base:#ffffff, fg:#555555) which bled into Qt apps via the gtk2
platform theme, causing Calamares to render with light backgrounds
despite the QSS stylesheet. Switched all colors to dark variant
(bg:#444444, base:#333333, fg:#dddddd, text:#eeeeee).
Previous QSS only styled QMainWindow, QPushButton, QComboBox, QLineEdit,
and QProgressBar. Unstyled widgets (QListView, QTreeView, QGroupBox,
QRadioButton, QCheckBox, QScrollBar, QTabWidget, QHeaderView, etc.)
rendered with white backgrounds from the default Qt theme, making text
invisible in the Xfce live environment (no Plasma/Breeze dark).
New QSS covers every widget Calamares uses, with dark backgrounds
(#20252B / #262C34 / #2C3138) and Antergos blue (#4A9EFF) accents.
Introduces a lightweight Xfce-based variant of Antergos NeXT to work
around the 2 GB GitHub Releases limit for the full Plasma ISO.
New packages in antergos-packages:
- calamares-branding-antergos-next-minimal: Calamares branding variant
that says "Minimal (Xfce)" with a notesqml page explaining why this
edition exists (Plasma ISO exceeded GitHub's 2 GB limit).
- antergos-xfce-theme: GTK 2.0/3.0/3.20 + xfwm4 theme based on Numix,
recolored to Antergos brand accent (#4A9EFF). Includes xfce-notify-4.0,
metacity-1, openbox-3, and unity support directories.
packages.yaml updated with both new packages in the build list.
The dinit service had command=/usr/bin/artix-live but the base
package renames the binary to /usr/bin/antergos-live. Now sed fixes
the path reference in the service file before the rename.
Adds package_antergos-live-dinit() so the dinit live environment uses
antergos-branded init scripts (with install_dinit make target, renaming
artix-live to antergos-live like the openrc variant does).
pkgrel bumped to 3.
