- The -s will run the slideshow with a bogus job-queue, allowing easier
testing of the slideshow. This is more convenient than having a Calamares
with an empty show and a bogus exec section.
- The -s option for running the slideshow / execution phase of
Calamares needs to create a bogus Module for the ExecutionViewStep.
- Previously, unless setDefaultFontSize() was called explicitly,
the default size would be 0, leading to unexpected and weird
displays (and a warning on stderr).
- If setDefaultFontSize() is not called, get a sensible size instead
(like defaultFontHeight() was already trying to do).
- When loading *view* modules, we always need a QApplication for GUI
bits, because the widget for a module is created is very early.
- If it's a view module, replace the application object with one
that supports GUIs; without the --ui flag, though, it will just
run the jobs.
- root_mount_point was used initially for logging c1a139995 (adding new
bootloader job options are to use grub for BIOS, gummiboot for efi set
extra mountpoint when efi is found)
- the trace was removed since 533031b3c ([bootloader] print() does not
log)
- The Python configuration tests sometimes need extra setup, so
do that through a CMakeTests.txt file in the test directory.
- Patch up existing tests:
- grubcfg needs /tmp/calamares/etc/default to exist
- rawfs won't work on FreeBSD because of differences in /proc
- drop the *discard* from filesystems-on-SSD in the standard example
configuration.
- keep the table **with** *discard* around for referece and explanation.
Remember that the example configurations are intended as **examples**,
to document available settings, and do not reflect a sensible
production configuration.
FIXES#1395
clean up obsolete lines in welcomeq.qml
add requirement section from welcome.conf to welcomeq.conf
data shows correctly in Recommended.qml, fails to show any in Requirements.qml if run without admin rights
This makes it possible to remove QML from Calamares, possibly yielding
a smaller, lighter installer; it takes with it the nice slideshow,
modern configurable navigation and the QML UIs built for various modules.
By default, WITH_QML is on and the "normal" feature set is retained.
- look for Qml modules only when WITH_QML is on (the default)
- look for Network, since that's pulled in only implicitly
- disable the QML Calamares models (modules/*q) if no QML is
enabled; longer-term plan is to merge the **pages** back to
the "upstream" modules, and have things be run-time switchable,
but that's not here yet. Also disable the notesqml module when
QML is off.
- reminder to make all the ABI-relevant WITH_* settings available as #defines
- move the compilation of KDSAG to the calamares executable, not the library
- when DBus activation is on, drop all of kdsingleapplicationguard
- It is the requirements model (checking) that reports progress, and now
the model is accessible (ask for it with requirementsModel(), make the
messages come from there.
- The architecture of letting someone build up a list of requirements
from data emitted by the ModuleManager is broken: if it gets loaded
later, it will miss data; passing around complicated objects is
no fun anyway. Get rid of it, on the way to "ModuleManager has
its own model of requirements".
- Give the ModuleManager a RequirementsModel -- that is the source
of truth about the module-requirements of the modules managed
by that particular ModuleManager.
- Let the RequirementsChecker operate on a given RequirementsModel.
- The requirements are collected by ModuleManager, checked
by an internal RequirementsChecker and changes to the
requirements state are all signalled from ModuleManager.
By connecting the requirements in the welcome modules' Config
only to their own configs -- and immediately checking them,
which is bad on its own -- we end up with a disconnect between
what the ModuleManager says about requirements, and what
the welcome modules report on.
Doesn't compile (but I need to get it off this machine)
- Prepare to implement a picture-based slideshow alongside QML
- Split QML loading into the slideshow component
This might be good prep-work for moving QML loading out of the QMLViewStep as well.
fully implemented:
* loading of a live map, ESRI based, zooming & dragging possible
* IP address is translated to map coordinates
* loading of the map centers to the obtained coordinates, with a marker set
* coordinates are translated to a timezone, label visible at bottom of the map
* mouse movement will show changing coordinates
* clicking on new location will center map there, marker moved too, timezone label adjusted
* hasInternet switch set to either load Map.qml or Offline.qml
not done:
* get hasInternet status
* fill the fine-tune 181n.qml with proper locale & language data
* connect the obtained timezone to globalstorage
comments are left in the various files for what needs attention/changes
Improve testing framework while adding tests to rawfs to double-
check that the conversion (for Python 3.3 compatibility) of
capture_output is correct.
- If a module has tests/#.global or tests/#.job, these are used
as arguments to a test-run of loadmodule (which reads them
and runs the module with that configuration).
- This makes the old python-loading test and test-runner entirely
obsolete, so remove them too.
- By default, try to use DBus service to keep Calamares unique
- The older implementation via KDSingleApplicationGuard is still
available, just not used by default.
- Calamares doesn't like to run multiple instances, since they would
interfere with each other (stealing disks from each other, for instance).
The single-application code tries to prevent that.
- For -d runs, for developers where presumably they know what they are
doing, the single-application restriction is annoying: especially if
you need two instances at once for some kind of visual comparison.
Drop the single-app requirement if -d is given.
- If the QML navigation panel sets a height, use that
- If it doesn't, use 48px (which *may* make sense, but like many
screen dimensions in Calamares doesn't take HiDPI into account)
- Give the demo QML an explicit height of 48
- This code has existed for a long time but never stored anything
to the Branding object, and the most literal slideshow (just some
images) was not implemented.
Region "Africa" zones # 52
14:25:19 [6]: .. Zone "Asmara" QPoint(445,183)
14:25:19 [6]: .. First zone found 2 "2.0"
14:25:19 [6]: .. Also in zone 3 "3.0"
- All failures were being reported as Timeout, which is confusing
when they are not. Introduce HttpError for the not-timeout
other kinds of errors.
- Add operator<< for RequestStatus for nicer error logging.
- The Config object can handle GeoIP loading on its own. Both
View steps that used this had a derpy view->setCountry() that
didn't really do anything with the view anymore.
- This forces the EFI firmware to boot the loader that was just
created, whatever the boot order set in the firmware setup (USB,
CD/DVD, HD...).
- It is safe to use the first Boot Entry listed in BootOrder as the
previous command creates the new entry and adds it to the first place
of the BootOrder.
- This is a good example of being overly clever in C++
- the whole API with an enum requesting a specific string is a bit weird,
although it makes sense from the 'might need more strings specified'
point of view.
