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.

2022-12-18installer: final: Delete SQLite WAL and shm files upon completion....Previously, db.sqlite-{wal,shm} could be left behind after stopping guix-daemon. When resuming installation, SQLite could end up behaving as if transactions visible in the WAL file had been committed, in spite of having restored SAVED-DATABASE. Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59784>. Reported by pelzflorian (Florian Pelz) <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Before restarting guix-daemon, delete db.sqlite-{wal,shm}. Ludovic Courtès

Pass 'concat as the last argument. (%display-line-hook): Remove. (run-command): Use 'display' instead of '%display-line-hook'. (%syslog-line-hook): Add "\n" when LINE doesn't end in \n.

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)

2022-09-24installer: Fix configuration edition during testing....When the configuration is edited, it looks like there are some leftover fragments from the input configuration: Example content of config.scm after edition: #:imported-modules '((gnu services herd) (guix build utils) (guix combinators))) unted". The unique ;; file system identifiers there ("UUIDs") can be obtained ;; by running 'blkid' in a terminal. ... This is strange because call-with-output-file uses the O_TRUNC flag which resets the file size to zero. Remove the configuration file before writing it as a work-around. * gnu/installer/tests.scm (edit-configuration-file): Remove the configuration file before re-writing it. Mathieu Othacehe

2022-08-05installer: parted: Call set-system before set-flags....Parted 3.5 introduces the following regression: - partition-set-flag sets the BIOS_GRUB flag. The partition type is set to PARTITION_BIOS_GRUB_GUID. - partition-set-system resets the partition type to PARTITION_LINUX_DATA_GUID undoing what's done by partition-set-flag.
