You'll need a VM with 2 disks to demonstrate:
- Configure Calamares to pick "none" as initial action on
the partition page (this is a safe choice),
- Enter partition page,
- No action is selected, and the next> button is greyed out.
- Click erase; notice next> is now available.
- Change devices, notice no action is selected, but next>
is still available. Clicking on it, though, does nothing.
When changing to "no action", update the next-button's
availability.
In particular, we need a separate Job class to set the label; this
is invoked after we formatted a partition, and when no other changes
to the partition have been requested in the Edit dialog.
When creating or editing a new formatted partition, allow
to set a filesystem label (16 chars maximum). Modify
the KPMHelpers to accept it as a new parameter. Partitions
created by default may get a meaningful label too.
- factor out the flags-we-want from the flags-we-already-have
- the use of ->activeFlags() meant that the state on *disk* was
being compared with the flags-we-want; if a partition was re-edited,
then you couldn't change the flags back to the state-on-disk
(eg. enable a flag, then change your mind and disable it).
- set the flags before refreshing the partition, because the
refresh checks for EFI bootability and that needs the new flags,
not the old ones.
- remove the m_defaultFSType from PartitionLayout, because it is
set on construction -- which is too early, before the configuration
has been read.
- make the default FS explicit in the init() calls which pass in
a configuration; this needs support in the intermediate
PartitionCoreModule.
The code doesn't match the comment: there are no by-ref captures
in the code, and the shadowing of parameters and local variables
is confusing. Remove one variable that is passed in as an argument
(and just pass the value as argument) and copy-capture the other
rather than doing weird argument passing.
- remove unused this captures from lambda
- rename variables that are short, cryptic, and shadowed
- remove documentation for parameters that don't exist
This commit adds the new configuration `swapPartitionName` to the file
partition.conf.
This option sets the partition name to the swap partition that is
created. If this option is unset, the partition is left unnamed.
- The logic of the method initLayout belongs to the object
PartitionLayout. Move logic to that object.
- Use a single method initLayout in object PartitionCoreModule.
- Member m_partLayout in object PartitionCoreModule is no longer
allocated.
- os-proper may return an extra file after the device:
/dev/sda1:Ubuntu 19.10 (19.10):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sdb1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi:Windows Boot Manager:Windows:efi
- point to main Calamares site in the 'part of' headers instead
of to github (this is the "this file is part of Calamares"
opening line for most files).
- remove boilerplate from all source files, CMake modules and completions,
this is the 3-paragraph summary of the GPL-3.0-or-later, which has
a meaning entirely covered by the SPDX tag.
The .ui files are all GPL-3.0-or-later style, but it's
slightly difficult to keep licensing information in them:
it's XML, so an XML comment might work, but there's no
guarantee that safe/load will preserve them.
Put the SPDX tags in the <author> tag, so that it's visible
in Qt Designer.
- The enum for install choice was copied into PartitionActions and
used in the Config object; its definition does not belong in the UI.
- Chase the renamings required.
The encryption widget (passphrase for disk encryption) should show
ok / warning / error whenever the state changes; this avoids
it showing up first with **no** icon (it should show a warning
when both passphrases are empty).
Both the KPMCore and the ChoicePage -- asynchronously -- were connected
to the nextStatusChanged() signal. So if the core said next was true,
that could end up communicated to the ViewManager, enabling the *next*
button in the UI.
Changing to the *erase* page generally triggers a KPMCore reload,
which later emits a `hasRootMountPointChanged()` signal, once the
layout is applied and the disk gets a root mount point. So we'd
get a `true` from KPMCore, which -- because it was connected directly
to the signal to the VM -- would override any other considerations.
Hook up both signals to an intermediate slot that just recalculates
whether the next button should be enabled, based on the state
both of the Choice page and whatever else.
With PR calamares/calamares#1357 the label of the "Manual partitioning" option
was changed, which introduced several downsides:
* The label is shown for UEFI and for BIOS installations.
* The mountpoint of the ESP is and should be distro specific.
* The label always mentioned GPT, which is irrelevant.
* The label should explain, what the option does, and not, what
problems can occur under certain circumstances.
This commit adds the new configuration `efiSystemPartitionName` to the
file partition.conf.
This option sets the partition name to the EFI System Partition that is
created. If this option is unset, the partition is left unnamed.
- isEfi only used meaningfully once
- if (isEfi) followed by if (!isEfi) can be simpler
- create bios-but-not-GPT strings in one go
- mark TODO that this should warn only if needed
- use weird * notation for branding-strings
- Use normal translation framework. The EncryptWidget was the one place
not using the "usual" translation framework, but rolled its own.
- Emphasize that the checkbox-state (checked-ness) is the parameter,
not a state of the EncryptWidget.
- All other instances of UI classes from Designer use a pointer-to-UI,
not multiple inheritance.
- Convenience method for setting the pixmap in response to
changes in the passphrase
- Tighten up types: enum -> enum class
- Reduce the scope for int-confusion by using an enum-class for
the encryption state of the widget
- Include UI implementation header only in .cpp
- Apply coding style
- Update copyright
- Let's just have one header definining export- and visibility-
macros for Calamares. They are still selected based on the
export flags (*_PRO), just defined in one header instead of two.
Introduces a "partitioning service" into libcalamares,
shuffles a bunch of things into it, tries to help out
with settling the system between partitioning actions.
- explicit use of user-visible names in EditExistingPartitionDialog
- consistent conversion of config-values to FS names (user-visible).
The GS value comes from the ViewStep, and should always match
something -- it's already converted to the canonical un-translated
so the type should be good.
