On the "Users" tab, the user can choose a username. It was possible to
use 'root' as username, which led to an installation error, because
'root' exists already.
Added a new check to the username validation.
Fixes#1462.
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.
set index in i18n.qml to -1, old settings were just for reading from the bogus model
current model uses strings, so index fails to read from it. This fixes cala crashing on loading i18n.qml
- Expand the documentation, emphasize octal-vs-decimal
- east-const consistently in this file (most of Calamares is west-const)
- shuffle the is-valid bool to the end of the data members,
so sorting by size.
- already had methods for various kinds of broken-up data, but
not one for plain "region/zone" strings; having this makes
it easier for QML to report a zone.
- use the region/zone method from QML, so that clicking on the
world map updates the actual TZ in Config.
- get network status from the global Network object; document that
- get the strings describing the language and LC settings from
the config-object instead of roll-our-own
- use the model of supported locales from Config to populate listboxes
- connect selection of language or LC to the Config object
- remove stray and useless TODOs
- remove unnecessary empty overrides
- clean up includes
- drop all the code that is now in Config
Since the business logic (setting locations, maintaining GS, ...)
is all in the Config object, the ViewStep is remarkably simple:
hook up a UI to the Config, which in the case of QML is done
automatically.
- since the Page hooked up a model and changed the region-selection
**after** connecting to signals, it would reset the location
to Africa/Abijan (alphabetically the first timezone) during
construction. Don't do that.
- this doesn't do the lookup **yet**
- while here, refactor setConfigurationMap so it reads like a story,
with chunks bitten out into a handful of static inline void methods.
- read the *region* and *zone* settings; this duplicates what
the ViewStep does and is currently unused, but ..
- add new support for using the system's TZ (rather than
the fixed values from *region* and *zone*). This complements
GeoIP lookup.
This is the actual feature that started the long rewrite of
the Config object (so that all the business logic would be in
one place, usable for both widgets and QML).
FIXES#1381
- writing *localeConf* settings to GS can be done always when the
formats are set, rather than special-cased. The code
that handles the "special case" of no widget existing for the ViewStep
overlooks the other crashes that happen then.
- Since Config knows what jobs to create, just ask it rather than
keeping a copy.
- allow finer-grained control over whether-or-not to adjust the
timezone in the live system.
- handle some special cases at the point of loading-configuration.
- document the setting in locale.conf
- correct some documentation bugs
- adjust the YAML schema for locale.conf so it's legal YAML syntax
**and** validates the current file.
- since all locale changes need to be entered into GS anyway, this
is something the Config object can do because it is the source
of truth for locale settings.
- drop all the GS settings from the Page.
- remove the weirdly-structured prettyStatus and similar:
the Config object has human-readable status strings (three,
for location, language, and LC-formats) which can be
normal properties with signals.
- Implement prettyStatus in the view step by querying the Config.
- the language and LC settings migrate from page to config
- add API for explicitly setting language (which is then preserved
when clicking new locations)
