The end-4 step's chowns ran on the live medium, whose /etc/passwd has
no $USERNAME (the user exists only inside /mnt), so 'chown -R
alvin:alvin' failed with "invalid user" and the ERR trap aborted the
install at line 543. Resolve uid/gid once via arch-chroot id and chown
by number; the three remaining name-based chowns (fork/fish/hypr
restores) would have hit the same wall later.
Replace those three mid-function chowns with one catch-all over the
target home after the last root-side write: sed -i on the presets
rewrites through a temp file, which leaves them root-owned with no
chown after it.
systemctl --user enable ydotool.service could never work inside the
chroot (no /run/user/UID/bus exists before boot; it only ever warned
with "Failed to connect to user scope bus", so ydotool never
autostarted). Write the symlink enable would write:
~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/ydotool.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/user/ydotool.service.
end-4's ./setup sudo keepalive orphans a `sleep 60` child as ii-builder;
userdel then exits 8 and aborts the ISO build (CI exit 8).
Sweep uid-matching processes inside the build chroot before userdel,
mirroring shadow's user_busy_processes() checks (real/effective/saved
uid + root device/inode). Because arch-chroot mounts proc before
`unshare --fork --pid`, /proc entry numbers are outer-namespace pids:
signal the last NSpid field instead, require matching NSpid depth, and
surface kill errors instead of swallowing them. userdel keeps its stderr
and, on final failure, dumps the leftover process list before aborting.
- customize_airootfs.sh stages dots-hyprland at /opt, runs ./setup
install-deps as a throwaway builder, harvests the built packages into
/opt/localrepo so pacstrap resolves them offline
- image ships its own [local-aur] (file:///opt/localrepo); CI and
localrepo/update.sh keep that copy in sync; .gitignore covers work/,
out/ and airootfs/opt/localrepo/
- alvin-install runs ./setup install --skip-alldeps on the target
- clone pctrade/end4-pC into /etc/skel/.config/quickshell, patch qsConfig
ii -> end4-pC in the staged variables.lua (guarded + idempotent), and
restore the fork after setup rsync --delete's ~/.config/quickshell
- ship user presets in skel, point fish `q` alias at end4-pC
- AGENTS.md: document the fourth package source and new gotchas
pacstrap failed at line 382 because pkglist lines from pacman -Q are
'name version' and were passed whole as pacman targets (~400 'target
not found'). Parse only the first field, pre-filter against pacman -Slq
so packages missing from the live repos (local-aur) are skipped with a
warning, and fall back to an unfiltered list if pacman -Syy fails.
Keymap screen now offers a US-layout confirm before the gum filter.
- New gum-based installer script (alvin-install) with LUKS encryption,
nmtui networking, disk selector, user/git config, and CachyOS repo setup
- Replace NetworkManager full unit file with symlink for consistency
- Add alvin-install reference to MOTD
- Add file_permissions entry in profiledef.sh
- Fix localrepo path case in pacman.conf
These files exist in the airootfs overlay but are owned by packages
in packages.x86_64, causing 'exists in filesystem' errors during
mkarchiso pacman install:
- usr/lib/os-release (filesystem)
- usr/share/pacman/keyrings/cachyos-* (cachyos-keyring)
- etc/clamav/certs/clamav.crt (clamav)
- etc/skel/.zshrc (grml-zsh-config)
