2024-04-03Switch order of the default substitute servers....The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support. Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has. Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with substitute access. * config-daemon.ac: Switch substitute urls order. * doc/guix.texi: Ditto. * etc/guix-install.sh: Ditto. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Ditto. * guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Ditto.

2022-11-02installer: Skip the backtrace page on user abort....When the user aborts the installation because a core dump is discovered or the installation command failed, displaying the abort backtrace doesn't make much sense.

2022-10-25installer: welcome: Warn when uvesafb gets used....There will be false positives: Because the Guix installer uses the kernel argument modprobe.blacklist=radeon,amdgpu and some AMD graphics actually work okay according to h-node, these users will get a false alarm. * gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (run-welcome-page): Warn before showing the welcome page. pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)

2021-12-28installer: Recommend 'ntp-service-type' for non-graphical systems....We had several bug reports with a root cause of "the clock was incorrect" from users who used the installer to install a non-graphical Guix System. * gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add the ntp-service-type. * gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-system-administration-cbt-page): New variable.

Leo Famulari
2021-12-28installer: Offer the CUPS printing service on a dedicated page....Currently, the installer page RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE offers to the user all installer services that are not of the types 'desktop', 'network-management', or 'networking'. Concretely, this means that it offers the CUPS printing service, because that is the only service of a different type defined in the installer. In later commits, we will add some services of a new type, and we only want them to be offered when the user is installing a non-graphical system. At least one of these new services (NTP) is part of %DESKTOP-SERVICES. If it was also offered on RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE, and the user had configured a system using %DESKTOP-SERVICES, the user could accidentally add NTP to their services twice, which is an error and would break installation. So, this commit makes the RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE be more specific about what services to offer. This makes it easier to discriminate between desktop and non-desktop installations, in terms of when a given service is offered. * gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): Rename to ... (RUN-PRINTING-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): ... new variable, and select only 'document' services. (RUN-SERVICES-PAGE): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/installer/tests.scm (CHOOSE-SERVICES): Adjust accordingly. Leo Famulari
2021-10-21installer: Reorder file system type listbox....Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries, for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB. Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed bcachefs later ;-) Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end of the list. * gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the LISTBOX-ITEMS.
