- Don't insert a space before the output of a process
- To do this, suppress space and quoting on the output, and to do
that move the labeling-output for warnings and errors into
the constructor (so that an idiomatic .nospace() does the right thing).
- Settings is just a settings class, no UI involved, so
move to libcalamares where it can be used also from
system helpers.
- YAML utilities are useful at a lower level of the stack, too.
- Put the (constant) 'Calamares will now quit' on its own debug line.
- Tell the user what the search paths are if a module is not found
(prompted by a mis-configuration in a Neon live image).
- Make the BCP47 value explicitly lower-case.
- Add some constness and encapsulation.
- Fix up documentation in the packages module explaining the
format of the ${LOCALE} replacement (now forced to lower-case,
but it is also only the language part, not e.g. en-UK).
FIXES#922
- Count only the packages that will be changed, given the current
locale settings.
- Preserve global storage unchanged (don't remove any locale-packages).
- Use DebugRow for one-row-at-a-time output with continuations.
- Use DebugList for one-item-per-line with continuations.
- Use DebugMap for one-row-at-a-time output of a QVariantMap.
- This enables working in three modes:
- No themes listed; all are shown without screenshots,
- Themes listed, showAll false; only those are shown,
- Themes listed, showAll true; the installed-but-not-listed
themes are shown after the listed ones, and have limited info.
- Although it's not necessarily accurate for an extensively-modified
Plasma configuration, we can read the Look-and-Feel from the
configuration files. Allows auto-detection.
- For OEM modes where there is already a theme, add a preselect:
key to pick a specific theme and have that one come up as already-
selected in the list.
- Don't re-run the lnftool if an already-selected theme is clicked
again. Use toggled() instead of clicked().
- Don't bother with the address of the main thread
- Do put a marker on restart into the log file
- Do put the Calamares version into the log file (previously, the version
was printed through cDebug() before the log file was opened, so it was
lost to the on-disk log).
Documentation lives both in Calamares and in the calamares-branding
repo. Whether a slideshow has navigation arrows or not is up to the
slideshow / branding component author, but Calamares now ships some
support QML to make that easy.
FIXES#841FIXES#904
It is the distro's responsibility to produce screenshots that look
good; previously I chose to preserve the aspect ratio on the grounds
that this would keep the look of the screenshot even if the distro
had done one in a weird size. This makes the screenshot part
of the LNF selection look weird, though, since then you get
blank parts.
Switch to ignoring the aspect ration; distro's should produce
screenshots in a 12x8 (i.e. 3:2) aspect ratio, preferrably at
least 120x80 pixels -- but keep in mind hiDPI and the default
font sizes of the distro, which may make other sizes look better.
(this follows discussion with BlueStar Linux)
- Auto-advance the default presentation
- Add more example slides to the fancy presentation
- Expand README.md explaining what the default classes can do
Removed these features that make sense in a presentation slideshow
(e.g. during a talk) but that are potentially confusing during
a passive slideshow like Calamares has:
- Using 'c' blanks the slideshow.
- Entering a slide number + enter changes slides.
- Add a NavButton, which shows a directional arrow, and fades in on hover.
It can be used left- or right- by setting an image source
and click handler.
- Specialize NavButton to Forward and BackButton.
- Add a SlideCounter navigation aid.
the original code does not distinguish the document comments inside the locale.gen file from the real locale list. The language was then enabled from the header comments of the file instead of the correct value in the list.
The new code verify tha the complete locale string is just after the first character of the string, enablig only the correct value of the locale list.
An example:
# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 --> document header, should not be enabled
#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 --> correct section to enable
Related to this request:

The install-bits branch commit 83639b182b
dropped .so-versioning for libcalamares and the creation of the Python-
support symlink. This broke KDE Neon dev-unstable because the embedded
Python can no longer find libcalamares.
Installing unversioned .so's straight to LIBDIR is also not a good thing
(according to Debian), so revert to the original scheme with versioned
.so and a Python-support symlink.
Medium-term fix is to install unversioned straight into LIBDIR/calamares
and fix up the RPATH for the executable.
- Applies to libcalamares and libcalamaresui.so, install with no
version, just the bare .so. Since Calamares doesn't do versioning
anyway, and its plugins should be re-compiled for any change,
putting them in lib as unversioned .so's should make Calamares
happy and silence lintian.
- The Python testmodule script can end up calling in to System
methods (via System::instance()). This is unusual, and the
System instance has not been created at that point.
Now, create an instance and warn about it.
- ValueCheck shouldn't own the pointer, since it's just a QPair
and there are temporary copies made (e.g. in
ContextualProcessBinding::append() ) and we get double-deletes.
- Do deletion by hand; going full unique_ptr would be a bit overkill.
- Re-build the structures for doing value-checks, is now more tree-like.
- Document pointer ownership.
- Introduce wildcard matches ("*")
- Don't drop empty command-lists, since they can be used to avoid
wildcard matches. (E.g. "in this case, do nothing, but don't
fall through to wildcard").
- Since the image size isn't known a priori (due to sizing based on fonts),
load the image and then resize in all code paths.
- Use the right resizing flags.
- .. and actually use the resulting scaled pixmap.
Thanks to Jeff Hodd.
- If the next step will be an install-step (e.g. hit the optional
confirmation step) then change the text on the 'next' button to
'install'.
- Do a little refactoring to make that more pleasant.
FIXES#905
- Move logging-levels to an enum
- (re-)Order logging-levels so that the normal debug statement is
not the most-important (lowest level).
- Drop using namespace std;
These additional pointers were introduced for translations,
and needed their own tricks to get lupdate to recognize the
strings. Using QCoreApplication::translate() removes the
need to a QObject to provide context. Drop the now-unneeded
parameters.
Instead of using tr and some macro hacks to get lupdate to
recognize the translation, instead use QCoreApplication::translate()
which takes its own context for translation.
- For both shellprocess and contextualprocess, add a top-level key
"timeout" that defaults to 10 seconds (which it already did).
- Allows setting "global" timeout for command-lists, while still
allowing individual timeouts per-command.
- Setting timeout per global variable in contextualprocess is not
supported; that would restrict the possible space of comparisions,
while not supporting a global setting timeout seems reasonable enough.
Use instances if you need wildly variable timeouts and don't want to
set them individually.
- Replace plain StringList with a list of <String, timeout> pairs,
and run that instead. All code paths still use the default 10sec
timeout and there's no way to change that.
- Copy stdout from timed-out process into the output variable,
instead of just dumping it into the log file. This will
improve the user experience, too, because they will get some
feedback / explanation of what the process has done.
- add license file from libpwquality for provenance
- translate pwquality_strerror() into the PWSettingsHolder convenience class
- use Qt translations, since we'd otherwise also have to wire up, and
wire in, libpwquality gettext translations.
- Use shared_ptr and a helper class to hide away raw pointer use
from libpwquality. Provide a convenience C++ API.
- Simplify configuration through helper class.
Use the samegame example from the Qt Quick demos as a branding "slideshow".
Instead of watching slides go by, you can play samegame! Click on
"new game" to start, and then click on groups of same-colored balls to make
them go away -- at least two same-colored balls must be touching.
Once the exec step is done, the game vanishes automatically.
This is an additional example for #841
- Remove some superfluous intermediate defines
- baseFactory was not used (always Calamares::PluginFactory)
- Move DECLARATION and DEFINITIONS apart
- CALAMARES_PLUGIN_FACTORY_DEFINITION was redefined (identically)
- CALAMARES_PLUGIN_FACTORY_DECLARATION was redefined (identically)
- __VA_ARGS__ was constant
- Issue asks to make the setting more visible, which seems sensible to
me. It **is** kind of hidden away for those distro's that make
the setting visible (not everyone does).
- While here, add a tooltip explaining what it does.
FIXES#893
Allow running one or more commands based on the value of
a global configuration variable. This could, of course,
be done in a Python module with some custom code,
but for simple cases this is more straightforward
to configure through module instances.
Uses the CommandList developed for the ShellProcess
module to do the actual work.
FIXES#874
- Move CommandList so it can be used from more modules than
just ShellProcess
- Allow a CommandList to run itself. This centralizes
code for executing one or more commands and simplifies
the ShellProcess module.
Various small cleanups:
- mention instance id in log message
- code formatting / style
- This turns off the space-available check in the welcome module;
without libparted, always fail that check.
- Allows running the welcome module on OS without libparted.
- Also allow a single string instead of a list
- Add count() method to CommandList
- Drop over-engineering, add more logging
- Expand tests with some more examples
This is basically dummyprocess, except with an expanded configuration
interface so you can run 1 or more shell commands in the live
or target system with a suitable configuration file and instance
of shellprocess in settings.conf.
It can replace downstream modules that implement their own
process modules with a command, by an instance of shellprocess.
Back targetEnvCommand() with a more general runCommand()
that takes an argument selecting the location to run
the command in. This allows us also to use the same
API for running processes in the host during install,
as we do for running them in the target system.
One reason for this change is wanting to run (user-specified)
commands and independently from the global dontChroot setting,
run those commands in the live system or the target.
This changes the ABI of the DLL, since targetEnvCommand()
is no longer exported. Plugins will need to be recompiled.
- refactor targetEnvCommand() into more general runCommand().
- While here, allow host system commands to run even if
there is no global storage.
- provide convenience accessors for ProcessResult members
- Move explanation of process errors out of ProcessJob
- Move from ProcessJob to ProcessResult, so it can be
reused outside of ProcessJob (e.g. from ShellProcessJob).
- Add some convenience functions, too.
Make a function out of explaining-skipped-modules, and call it
not only after collecting all the modules, but also after
the feature summary, so that it's quite clear which modules
are skipped.
Scenario is this: you have no suitable installation devices on
your system (everything is mounted, or HDD has died), click through
to partition page, where you have all the buttons available, but no
devices in the list. The following actions then cause a crash:
- clicking "back"
- clicking any button
Prevent that:
- you can click "back", but if there is no device selected
nothing happens to the device state (no nullptr deref,
and no crash)
- button code is now more resilient to this scenario
- buttons are hidden until a device is available, so you
can't even click on them to trigger the code.
- remove hide-close-button hack
- refactor code in viewmanager for confirming quit
- hook up confirm-and-quit to WM close button
- also works for alt-F4 and other quit methods
- while here, update copyright year
FIXES#870
Modules may be skipped for different reasons: SKIP_MODULES
is the traditional approach to suppress some, but other modules
may have unmet build requirements (e.g. Plasma Look-and-Feel,
or the Partitioning module) and should be able to opt-out
of being built. For all those skipped, log it explicitly after
all the modules have been examined.
Only CMake-based (e.g. C++) modules support opting-out in this way.
This is meant to run one or more jobs based on specific global
configuration values; if could also be done by a Python
module with just some if's, but this one can be used with
just the config file and covers a bunch of use-cases.
- calculate a hash of the filename, and use that
- makes it possible to distinguish different screenshots
even when the image file is missing / badly configured
- most colors will be dreadful
Patch by Gabriel C. (@abucodonosor).
- use libcalamares functions
- no need to copy /etc/adjtime over we can run hwclock in chroot
since we have /proc , /sys , /dev , /run/* already bind mounted.
- added RTC and ISA probing methode ( see issue #873)
- we probe default from /dev/rtc* ,
- fall back to ISA
- still doesn't work we just print a BIOS/Kernel BUG message and continue
- NOTE: issue #873 is about broken ArchLinux kernel config but there
are HP boxes with real RTC problems no matter what kernel config
is used so let us be nice and don't error out..
FIXES#873
- Implement various ways of getting the LNF; the process-based one
uses a recent CLI-tool from the Plasma developers.
- Fill the UI with (meaningless) LNF package IDs.
Do a better job determining what the arguments could mean; this supports
lazy devlopers who don't want to pass in full paths to all kinds of things.
Simple invocation can now be:
testmodule.py <modulename> - +
to read <modulename>.conf from src/modules/<modulename>/
This, kids, is why you don't switch writing C++ and Python too often.
The C++ code isn't a syntax error in Python, although this would fail
at runtime.
Update documentation, add a new key *skip_if_no_internet* to support
systems that **recommend** having an internet connection (but don't
require it), and which also use the packages module. This prevents
a long delay while the package manager tries to access the internet
and times out (repeatedly).
Existing configurations are unchanged.
Use dict methods, in particular d.get(k, v), to retrieve
the pretty_name() function (or None if it isn't there).
Using getattr() on a dict will not return values in the
dict.
For called processes, replace the not-very-useful type message
with the command-explanation, and replace the value (previously
command-explanation) by the stderr of the failed command.
FIXES#865
This is why the whole refactoring started: to get the process output
and exit code in one spot so we can attach the process output
to the (Python exception) CalledProcessError in all the code
paths, not just those that are explicitly looking for output.
- Add a more general targetEnvCommand() that returns both
error code and process output.
- Change existing targetEnvCall() and targetEnvOutput()
to use general form while discarding some data.
- Refactor, internal _handle_check_target_env_call_error doesn't need
to be in header or visible.
- Add optional output (of the command) to the Python exception.
Root is always selected, can't be unselected, and has its own explicit
constructor and name. This resolves issue reported where unchecking
all *visible* groups caused the root to be unchecked, after which
hidden-but-still-selected subgroups were not installed.
Reported by crazy@
Adds a "tracking" module which allows configuring phone-home,
machine and user tracking. Additional machine-tracking types
could be defined depending on distro needs.
This is not the final version -- there is still polishing to
do on the icons, perhaps layout.
Tested in KDE Neon devunstable by keeping an existing partition
which had an older Neon running. New machine-id is generated
and sed'ded into place.
FIXES#783
Following KDE Pholio M116, switch to using a radio button; instead
of 4 individually toggle-able settings, use a "level" indicator
to select none, install, machine, user .. each of which implies
the previous levels. Each level is individually enable-able from
the distro side.
If a subgroup is hidden, then it should be considered
selected if its parent is selected or partially-selected.
If the parent group is totally unselected, then the hidden
subgroup shouldn't be installed either. This allows putting
required-packages into a group, without cluttering the
interface.
FIXES#864
While walking up the tree, only switch the selectedness states
of parents with children. This avoids the case where a parent
has a first subgroup that is hidden -- in which case the
parent ends up with no children, and is unselected even though
it is marked as selected in the config file.
FIXES#864
Relying on auto-qobject deletion on shutdown generates a warning message
17:23:44 [0]: QBasicTimer::start: QBasicTimer can only be used
with threads started with QThread
which is annoying. Since we're in shutdown, just skip deletion
entirely, and leave the model unparented.
