- 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
- post-install: ensure the `microcode` initramfs hook (after autodetect) so
installed systems carry CPU ucode — the live ISO embeds it, so nothing is
staged onto the target otherwise. Rebuild all presets with `mkinitcpio -P`.
- post-install: drop the nonexistent `sd-plymouth` hook branch; only the udev
`plymouth` hook exists. Set the theme then rebuild once.
- packages: add zathura + zathura-pdf-mupdf (BOS had no PDF viewer) and
libva-utils (`vainfo`); the Mesa VA-API backend now ships in `mesa` itself.
- bos-welcome: on first run, if NetworkManager isn't fully online, open nmtui
so the user connects before the first bos-update/pacman (avoids confusing DNS
errors on a fresh install). Float the bos-netsetup window like bos-welcome.
BOS shipped zsh + a p10k skel .zshrc and Calamares' userShell was already
/bin/zsh, but two paths still defaulted to bash:
- /etc/default/useradd had SHELL=/usr/bin/bash, so any plain `useradd` (and
anything not going through Calamares) created bash users.
- bos-live-setup created the live ISO user with -s /bin/bash, so the live
session ran bash instead of the BOS zsh setup.
Ship /etc/default/useradd with SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh and create liveuser with zsh
so the whole distro — live and installed — defaults to zsh.
bos-update: one command that updates both BOS channels — pacman -Syu (snap-pac
snapshotted) and bakery update --all — best-effort so one failing doesn't abort
the other. Baked into the live env and skel.
Shell: match the dev laptop's zsh. Ship Powerlevel10k + zsh-autosuggestions,
zsh-history-substring-search and zsh-syntax-highlighting, sourced from the distro
packages (no oh-my-zsh framework) in the correct order, plus the dev .p10k.zsh.
Powerlevel10k is AUR-only, so it's republished to [breadway] via
packaging/powerlevel10k + a CI workflow (builds libgit2 + gitstatus from source),
same pattern as bibata / zen-browser-bin. skel/.zshrc keeps the BOS QoL aliases
and pywal palette import, with `update` aliased to bos-update.
New users get a one-time welcome window on first boot (self-gating marker,
skipped for the live/installer user) and a keybind cheatsheet on SUPER+/.
Also bind BOS Settings to SUPER+, (it had no launcher bind). Both popups
are floated/centred via window rules. Addresses the onboarding/
discoverability gap from external review.
The boot splash still used the old bread-brown background (#230b00)
after the rest of the theme moved to a black base (#0c0c0c). Switch
bos.script's background to black so the boot splash is consistent with
the wallpaper/pywal palette and breadbar.
- breadd.toml: the shipped skel used a stale [adapters] schema
(keyboard/mouse/touchpad/gamepad booleans); breadd 0.6.4 expects
hyprland/udev/power/network/bluetooth structs. `bluetooth = true` collided
with the real AdapterToggle field and aborted the daemon at startup.
- Drop the temporary bos-live-diag serial diagnostic now that the live-session
failures are diagnosed.
- packages.x86_64: add bread, breadbar, breadbox, breadcrumbs, breadpad,
bos-settings so they ship in the squashfs and reach the target via unpackfs
(no network needed; install works fully offline)
- shellprocess.conf: set timeout 1800 — Calamares' 10s default was killing
post-install.sh partway (the real cause of the empty /boot + ESP); the "-"
prefix had been masking the kill as success
- bos-live-setup: live user now boots the real BOS desktop from /etc/skel
(breadd + breadbar + breadbox) with the installer layered on top
(auto-launch + Super+I), instead of an installer-only kiosk
- post-install.sh: drop the now-redundant networked `bakery install`
archiso keeps vmlinuz/initramfs in the ISO boot dir, not the squashfs, so
unpackfs lays down an empty /boot. The chroot's mkinitcpio/grub-mkconfig had
nothing to work with and the ESP ended up empty (firmware found no bootloader).
- shellprocess@kernel (dontChroot) copies the live kernel into the target
/boot before the bootloader step
- post-install.sh now runs grub-install itself, including a --removable pass
so firmware with no NVRAM entry still boots via EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
liveuser can't write /var/log, so the .bash_profile redirect
(Hyprland &>/var/log/hyprland-live.log) failed and bash aborted the line
without ever launching the compositor. Log to /tmp/hyprland-live.log,
which the live user can write.
The live medium autologged root on tty1 and exec'd Hyprland, but Hyprland
refuses to start with superuser privileges ("launched with superuser
privileges, but the privileges check is not omitted") and exited before
even creating a log — leaving tty1 at a blank blinking cursor. (Boot,
switch-root, firstboot suppression and the bos login on other ttys were
all already working.)
Adopt the standard live-ISO pattern:
- bos-live-setup.service (oneshot, gated on the archisobasedir cmdline so
it only runs on the live medium) creates an unprivileged `liveuser`,
adds it to the usual hardware groups, clears its password, and drops in
a minimal live Hyprland config that auto-launches the installer.
- tty1 autologin now targets liveuser instead of root.
- Calamares needs root, so bos-launch-calamares runs it via passwordless
sudo (/etc/sudoers.d/99-bos-live) with the Wayland env preserved, so the
root installer renders on the live user's compositor.
