| 2022-01-14 | installer: Install the locale before mounting the cow-store....Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52831>.
Make sure to install the en_US.utf8 fallback locale if the selected locale is
not supported.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-locale): New procedure.
(install-system): Call it.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2022-01-14 | installer: Do not set the locale in run-command....Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,
causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the
cow-store umount.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2022-01-14 | installer: Remove an unused procedure....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Remove it.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-09-10 | installer: final: Introduce call-with-mnt-container....* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): New procedure,
(install-system): use it instead of call-with-container, to make sure that the
container is not jailed.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-09-02 | installer: Run the installation inside a container....When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.
To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID
argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that
guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using
fork+exec-command/container procedure.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it,
(install-system): run the installation from within a container.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-06-16 | installer: final: Remove restart-service procedure....* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove "restart-service" that is
now provided by (gnu services herd).
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-06-13 | install: final: Add some logging....* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Add some logging.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-06-09 | installer: final: Dump "guix system init" command output when testing....When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read
"guix system init" command output.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Dump installation command output
to the console when running the installation tests.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-06-09 | installer: final: Remove left-over pk call....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Remove pk call.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-06-05 | installer: final: Add some extra logging....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Log the killed process name,
(umount-cow-store): inform that we are umounting the cow-store.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-03-23 | installer: Fix cow-store umount issue....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Ignore exception that could be
raised if a process disappears between reading its pid and its maps file.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-03-05 | installer: Fix cow-store umount....This fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39712>.
The guix-daemon was preventing the cow-store umount, so restart it. Some
udevd workers, using cow-store files might also still be around, so have some
umount retries.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): New procedure,
(umount-cow-store): restart guix-daemon and kill all processes started from
within the cow-store before trying to umount the store overlay. Also try 5
times to umount the overlay in case it is still busy.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2020-03-05 | installer: Honor /tmp/installer-system-init-options....* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Honor
"/tmp/installer-system-init-options".
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2020-03-05 | installer: Run commands without hopping through the shell....* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Rename to...
(run-command): Remove call to 'call-with-temporary-output-file' and hop
through Bash. Expect COMMAND to be a list of strings rather than a
string.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Turn INSTALL-COMMAND into a
list of strings and pass it to 'run-command'.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (edit-file): Likewise.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2020-02-12 | installer: Remove the cow-store overlay after system installation....Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/39217>.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/38447>.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): New procedure ...,
(install-system): ... used here, to remove the store overlay so that the
target device is not seen as busy during further umount calls.
| Mathieu Othacehe |

of the <user> record.

field of the <user-account> record.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2019-04-26 | installer: Take 'guix system init' exit code into account....This allows the installer to distinguish success from failure, and also
ensures the shell that runs 'guix system init' exits upon completion.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command)[pause]: New procedure.
Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle
'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion.
