- install_pacstrap: fall back to the live system's pacman -Q when the
medium's pkglist is gone (copytoram unmounts bootmnt), and die on an
empty list instead of pacstrapping only the essentials.
- screen_disk: find the live medium via archisosearchuuid when bootmnt
is unmounted, and hide whole-disk sources (empty PKNAME).
- install_cachyos_repo: put [cachyos] ahead of [core] like the ISO build
and add [chaotic-aur], so chaotic packages keep updating.
- install_user: create the user with fish; the 'none' login manager now
autostarts Hyprland via ~/.config/fish/conf.d/alvin-hyprland.fish.

- alvin-install: new sshd screen (default on) + install step. openssh is
guaranteed into the pacstrap list when requested, and the final banner
reports whether the enable actually succeeded (SSHD_APPLIED) instead of
what was selected. The prompt warns that password login uses the same
password as LUKS, and only mentions the GitHub key import when a
username was given.
- alvin-install: replay the `gsettings set` commands end-4 logged during
its setup run with a clean env and a throwaway session bus as the target
user, then read each key back in a second session to confirm it persisted
(gvariant_unescape normalizes both '...' and "..." GVariant output). The
venv check now walks the uv bin/python symlink chain, re-rooting
absolute hops under $TARGET, since that link dangles on the live medium.
- build: append the build stamp to the live /etc/motd (keeps the installed
system's motd untouched) and drop alvin-install's install_motd step.
- docs: installer sections in README/AGENTS.md, sshd notes, corrected line
counts.
screen_git now prompts GitHub username before git name/email, and the
screen description plus installation summary list SSH before git to
match the new prompt order. Behavior unchanged - prompts are
independent and all assignment sites are read after the screen returns.
- profiledef.sh stages airootfs/root/.iso-build-stamp (git/CI gated, falls
back to 'commit unknown'); customize_airootfs.sh installs it as
/etc/alvin-build-stamp; install_motd appends it to the target /etc/motd
- alvin-install: skippable git/GitHub screens with ssh-import-id import
(yay build + python-distro, curl .keys fallback), LUKS Mode A (systemd
sd-encrypt + rd.luks.name) vs Mode B (unl0kr + cryptdevice), TPM2
enrollment via $PASSWORD with rd.luks.options activation, unl0kr
build/verify with Mode-A fallback, login manager none/greetd/sddm/gdm
(enable DM before disabling getty@tty1), autologin per DM (forced off
when TPM enrolled), build-stamp motd; includes the existing
GRUB_DISABLE_BOOTNEXT grub tweak
- review fixes: greetd autologin TOML quoting, .ssh chowned before
ssh-import-id, builtin-aware initramfs module verification across all
installed kernels, curl exit-code split (fetch failure vs no keys),
plain Hyprland on every login path
- add curl to packages.x86_64; document stamp flow and installer in
AGENTS.md/README.md
Two low-severity review findings on 8501a60:
- owner="$(id -u):$(id -g)" as two substitutions only propagates the
last status, so a lone id -u failure would build ':1000' and abort at
the chown with "invalid owner" under the wrong line. Run both ids in
a single arch-chroot sh -c chained with && and join with paste -sd:;
pipefail makes any failure abort at the owner= line. Verified both
paths: existing user yields 1000:1000, missing user trips the ERR
trap before owner is used.
- the ydotool symlink mkdir/ln wrote stderr to the terminal while the
failure warn pointed at $LOG, which never recorded it; redirect both
into the log, matching the bluetooth block.
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.
- 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
