2020-09-02installer: Run the installation inside a container.Mathieu Othacehe
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.
2020-07-26installer: Add NTFS support.Mathieu Othacehe
This adds support for creating and editing NTFS partitions. It is however not possible yet to create root NTFS partitions, as overlaying on top of a fuse partition does not seem supported. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add "ntfs-3g" to the inputs. * gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type, partition-filesystem-user-type, create-ntfs-file-system, format-user-partitions): Add NTFS support. * gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add NTFS support.

2020-04-09installer: Allow Alt+Shift toggle from non-Latin keyboard layouts.Florian Pelz

2020-01-20installer: Disable F12 hot key.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/38562>. Reported by Brice Waegeneire <brice@waegenei.re>.

2019-05-15installer: Mount ESP once only.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35731>. * gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partioning-page)[run-page]: Introduce 'initial-partitions' variable. Previously we'd call 'disk-partitions' after 'auto-partition' had done its job of creating new partitions, and thus its result would contain the just-created partitions. Consequently, 'create-special-user-partitions' would return the ESP partition we just created, and thus it would appear twice in the list.

2019-05-06installer: Skip network selection dialogs when there is no choice.Ludovic Courtès
Previously, for a machine that only has wired networking, and only one such network, we'd have to go through two selection boxes. Now we just skip both. * gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm (run-ethernet-page): When 'ethernet-services' returns one element, return it directly without opening a listbox selection. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (run-technology-page): Likewise.

* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partioning-page): Pass #:sort-listbox-items? #f so that methods always appear in the same order.
2019-05-06installer: Widen user dialog.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page)[pad-label]: Increase 2nd argument to 25. [entry-width]: Increase to 35.

2019-05-03installer: Do not sort the guided partition schemes in the selection page.Ludovic Courtès

2019-04-29installer: Fix typo in docstring.Meiyo Peng

2019-04-28installer: Fix handling of user password mismatches.Ludovic Courtès

2019-04-28installer: User accounts can now have a "real name."Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add #:real-name. Add a label and entry for the real name and initialize the 'real-name' field of the <user> record. * gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set the 'comment' field of the <user-account> record.
2019-04-28installer: Improve layout of the partitioning page.Ludovic Courtès
