- the (n/m) lines are output of specific steps, not actual package-
installation. So look for "<action> <packagename> ..." lines instead.
This means we keep some state around, and need extra machinery to
report those lines rather than the generic progress reporting
that reports on groups.
- during install and remove, check for (n/m) output lines which
report progress of the pacman actions and turn those into progress
reports for the *packages* module.
- remove from GS
- remove duplication across Config and ChoicePage
- improve translations (presumably "msdos or gpt" is the most
complicated it will get)
FIXES#1735
- the partition module makes a nice descriptive widget,
which includes the text it **also** has for the summary;
(the text is intended for the QML summary).
- In general, if a module has a widget for the summary, assume
that that is the **whole** summary and use it instead of text.
This resolves duplicate summaries -- showing the text of the
partitioning-step, followed by its widget -- introduced in July.
- make the installation work,
- special case because rsync can return error 23 (which throws, from
inside the Python API) which still means "it was ok".
SEE #1740
By processing each line in turn (and just counting is) rather
than collecting all of the lines of output from the tools,
we end up with lower memory usage.
- document a bit more of the methods
- provide convenience method enableOutputProcessing() alongside
an explicit setter; adjust tests to the changed API.
- add an executable() information method.
- this was an internal class for logging commands, let's lift
it up to the Logger framework where it might be more generally
useful (or not .. everything needs special-casing for actual
redaction).
This is an experiment in Python API that will allow a callback
function in the Python module to be called for each output line.
It builds on the run-a-process extensions that are being built
simultaneously.
The background idea is that, while CalamaresUtils::System::runCommand()
is a useful general API, it is
- still missing flexibility
- lacking a way to process output from the command "as it happens"
Waiting until the process ends, and then reading all stdout, is
inconvenient for processes that produce a **lot** of output,
and also makes it impossible to report progress. One module
in calamares-extensions has its own run-a-process implementation
for reading output, and this branch aims to introduce something
similar into Calamares core.
- when (manually) using an existing LV, it shouldn't be closed
prior to formatting, since that kills the volume and then the
path (/dev/myvg/mylv) no longer exists. Then creating the
filesysytem on that device path fails.
- Strings were being used as logical values, and then logged
(which should be in English) and also used in the UI (which
should be localized). Replace with a MessageAndPath class,
used only locally, that defers the translation until called-
upon explicitly.
- Replace some VG stuff with similar calls to apply().
Returning partition full-paths instead of only the block-device-name
simplifies later code -- which would prepend /dev/ to the block-
device-name and umount that.
- the tryX() functions weirdly return a string that is used for
debug-logging. Document that. The untranslated string is
later used for user-facing messages. Mark that as FIXME.
- factor out the loop-over-names-and-append to news, because that
makes the overall story of what is happening hard to read.
- all calls to tryCryptoClose() called tryUnmount() first, so
put that call inside tryCryptoClose(), so the interface is simpler.
- improve descriptive-strings in logging ("set?" is not very
meaningful)
- log only the unsatisfied entries, since the preceding
log-message suggests that that is what is happening.
QLabel allows scaling of the Pixmap by itself, and we have a
FixedAspectRatioLabel that scales a pixmap nicely. Use that.
(The new label type needed to be introduced to designer)
The screenshot should expand more agressively, so that it
does not get margins -- that just leave space around the
name and description -- when the window expands. Adjust some
of the stretching and layout in the UI file.
It is easier to put screenshots somewhere where
they can be searched-for, rather than requiring either
absolute paths (inconvenient to try out someone's
settings) or relative paths (because who knows where
Calamares will be run during testing).
The summary page can rely on the Config object to create
lists of relevant steps; this code was declared but not
defined / implemented for Config (but also not called, so
it was ok). This is basically shuffling bits around in
preparation for using the model directly, rather than
re-implementing the widget-creation code.
While here, split off the page-resizing into a free function
so that the code reads nicer.
- the page doesn't need to remember what step it belongs to,
if the step tells it when creating widgets.
- detach naming from the viewstep API that calls it.
The `partition.conf` file contains an EFI-size. The default is 300MiB,
but distributions might like to use a bigger (or smaller) value.
Apply the configuration consistently everywhere where we need
"the size of the EFI partition". Extend the internal method
to look at the configured size.
