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)

Mathieu Othacehe
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. Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
2021-09-23installer: Support XFS....* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add ‘xfs’ to the list box. * gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type) (partition-filesystem-user-type): Add ‘xfs’ mapping.

2020-09-02installer: 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.
