Firewall's fetch_status() discarded stderr/exit code on failure, so a
failed pkexec call (e.g. no polkit agent in the session) left the page
silently stuck on "Status not loaded" with no indication anything went
wrong. Now surfaces the actual failure reason, and attaches the
previously-invisible per-action log buffer to a visible TextView
(matching the Packages page's existing pattern).
Snapshots' "No snapshots yet" empty state was shown identically whether
snapper was genuinely unconfigured or the user just lacked permissions
(a "No permissions." stderr) -- now distinguishes the two.
Continues reducing terminal-reliance for graphical system control. Five
new panels, plus three GUI apps shipped for things better served by an
existing dedicated tool than reimplemented in bos-settings
(gnome-disk-utility, gufw, mission-center).
- Power: battery status/health, brightness, charge-limit thresholds where
the hardware exposes them, TLP profile shown read-only by design (no
Balanced/Performance switcher — TLP auto-selects by power source, and
power-profiles-daemon isn't installed because it conflicts with tlp).
- Firewall: ufw enable/disable, add/remove rules, view active rules.
ufw's own status check requires root (confirmed against the installed
script — not just changes, reads too), so unlike every other panel this
one does NOT query state in build(): every view is constructed eagerly
at app launch, and an unconditional privileged read here would mean a
polkit prompt on every single bos-settings open. Starts blank with a
"Status not loaded" placeholder; state loads only on an explicit Refresh
click, with a guard so refresh's own set_active() doesn't loop back into
triggering ufw enable/disable.
- Users: add/remove accounts, change passwords. All through pkexec on a
background thread. Can't remove the account you're currently running as.
- AUR: search via yay. Installing deliberately opens a terminal instead of
a silent --noconfirm install — yay's interactive PKGBUILD diff review and
sudo prompt are the actual safety mechanism against a malicious AUR
package, not a formality worth automating away.
- Firmware: fwupd device list + updates, same stream-output-then-refresh
pattern as Packages.
packages.x86_64: gnome-disk-utility, gufw, mission-center for disk/firewall/
task-manager GUIs that don't need reinventing inside bos-settings.
New panels: About, Network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet via nmcli), Sound (PipeWire
volume/device via pactl), Date & Time (timedatectl), and Clipboard
(breadclip previously had no bos-settings presence at all despite running
its own daemon).
Layout: every panel now shares one scaffold (6 views were hand-rolling their
own, inconsistently) with a centered, width-capped content column instead of
rows stretching edge-to-edge on a wide window with the control stranded far
from its label. Rows render as individual cards. Sidebar got human labels +
icons + task-based grouping (System/Personalization/Maintenance/About)
instead of raw binary names under "Apps"/"System".
New capability: a shared service_control() widget gives every bread app
backed by a systemd --user daemon (breadd, breadbox-sync, breadcrumbs,
breadmill, breadclipd) live status plus Start/Stop/Restart/View logs —
previously these panels only ever edited a TOML file and hoped the running
process picked it up. breadbar (no systemd unit) gets an equivalent: Save
now actually sends the SIGHUP its own reload mechanism needs, instead of
just claiming to in the hint text.
Fixed two real bugs surfaced while building About: CPU model string kept a
stray leading tab+colon (trim_start_matches was missing '\t'), and GPU
showed "unknown" on hardware whose lspci entry says "Display controller"
instead of "VGA compatible controller".
Local CSS patches (bos-settings/src/theme.rs) for two upstream bread-theme
gaps: suggested/destructive buttons and scale widgets don't clear Adwaita's
default background-image, so flat colour overrides were invisible; and
destructive-action red must not be pywal-derived (it can land on gold
depending on the wallpaper, indistinguishable from a primary action).
Pulls the fix for panels turning brown/off-hue when pywal extracts a light
or muddy background from the wallpaper — background/surface now stay BOS's
fixed dark constants regardless of what the wallpaper looks like.
- breadbox panel edited [[contexts]] but breadbox reads [[context]]
(serde rename mismatch) — panel was always empty and Save appended
a dead array.
- Packages panel parsed installed.json as a flat map instead of
unwrapping {"packages": {...}} — always showed one bogus row.
- load_doc silently produced an empty document on any parse error,
so the next Save could clobber a config file with a syntax typo;
now backs it up first.
- Hyprland panel opened hyprland.conf/keybinds.conf (BOS ships
hyprland.lua) via $EDITOR with no terminal (dead click for any TUI
editor) and defaulted to foot (BOS ships kitty). Now opens
hyprland.lua and a keybinds cheat sheet via kitty -e $EDITOR.
- New breadsearch view: power (enabled/run-on-battery), compute
backend (cpu/npu/rocm), index/search settings.
- Move assets to assets/ directory (bread_white.svg, icons 256/512/1024px)
- Update Calamares branding + Plymouth theme logos
- Bake breadpaper (wallpaper manager + pywal) into /etc/skel alongside the
rest of the bread ecosystem — previously missing from the ISO build
- Bump bos-settings to 0.4.0
Pick up the directory-watch fix so bos-settings hot-reloads the shared stylesheet
on `bread-theme reload` like the rest of the desktop (its v0.2.6 build had the
broken file-watch). No code change — only the dependency + version bump.
Replace the hardcoded Nord palette (which ignored pywal and the rest of the
ecosystem entirely) with bread_theme::gtk::apply_shared() — bos-settings now
loads the same generated stylesheet as breadbar/breadbox/breadpad and keeps
only its own layout rules (.view-content padding). It recolours live with the
desktop. Bump gtk4 0.9 -> 0.11 / glib -> 0.22 to match the ecosystem.
Note: bread-theme dep pins tag v0.2.6 (cut at release); Cargo.lock to be
regenerated then.
The bread/breadpad/breadcrumbs/breadbox views wrote invented schemas
(e.g. top-level log_level, [[profile]] name/ssids) that did not match the
apps' real TOML, so they showed empty and — worse — clobbered the real
config on Save, since the old config::save serialized only the keys it
modelled.
Rework the config layer onto toml_edit: parse each file into a
DocumentMut, mutate only the specific keys a view exposes, and write it
back preserving comments and any unmodelled keys (calendar password,
saved-network passwords, model paths). Unit-tested.
Add ui/widgets.rs (switch/entry/password/dropdown/spin/float/csv rows +
view scaffold + save button) bound to the shared document, then rewrite
the four views against the real schemas with far more coverage:
- bread: [daemon], [lua], [modules], all five [adapters.*] with their
sub-options, [events], [notifications]
- breadpad: [settings], [model] + [model.ollama], [reminders], [calendar]
- breadcrumbs: [settings] (7 keys), [[networks]] editor, [profiles.*] editor
- breadbox: fixed to real [[contexts]] name/priority array editor
Goal: configure everything from the GUI rather than hand-editing TOML.
ISO structural:
- Move post-install.sh → airootfs/etc/calamares/ (it was never in the squashfs)
- Create airootfs/etc/skel/.config/ with all dotfiles (deploy path now works)
- Add iso/pacman.conf with [breadway] custom repo stub for calamares + bakery
- Add Calamares branding component (bos/branding.desc + show.qml)
- Add missing unpackfs.conf and mount.conf modules
- Add live-session autostart: getty autologin → bash_profile → Hyprland → calamares
- Add polkit rule for wheel-group snapper rollback (pkexec path)
- Remove wlroots from packages (bundled with Hyprland); add bakery to package list
- Fix modules-search path in settings.conf
Dotfiles:
- Rename dotfiles/hyprland/ → dotfiles/hypr/ (Hyprland reads ~/.config/hypr/)
- Fix deprecated shadow options: drop_shadow/shadow_range → shadow { } block
bos-settings Rust:
- Replace glib::MainContext::channel (removed in glib 0.19) with async_channel
- Stream bakery update output line-by-line instead of buffering all at once
- Fix zombie processes: per-package update buttons now wait() in a thread
- Fix sidebar/stack mismatch at startup: select snapshots row to match default view
- Replace deprecated MessageDialog with AlertDialog (GTK 4.10+) throughout
- Use pkexec for snapper rollback so polkit handles privilege escalation
- Add confirmation dialog before delete snapshot (was missing, rollback had one)
- Add refresh button + repopulate after delete in snapshots view
- Add "Saved" / "Error: …" status label to every config view save button
- Add "Remove" buttons to breadbox contexts and breadcrumbs profiles
- Remove hardcoded model string from breadpad defaults
- Drop unused state mod; fix config_dir HOME fallback; fix zombie in editor launches
