2026-02-11installer: run-wifi-page: Handle null ‘service-items’.Hilton Chain
Previously, the installer crashes after pressing enter on "No wifi detected". * gnu/installer/newt/wifi.scm (run-wifi-page): Scan wifi when connecting with null ‘service-items’. Change-Id: I04c57f2bdf0cc7f5928e154fce48e54d1ecb0cfa Merges: #6287
2026-01-16installer: Adjust vertical space in the recommended kernel choice.Florian Pelz
Proposed in #5555. * gnu/installer/newt/kernel.scm (run-kernel-page): Add a newline. Suggested-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Change-Id: I50e156e12539ba86cf9aa12ab6ef92ed145b5578 Signed-off-by: Rutherther <rutherther@ditigal.xyz>
2026-01-16installer: run-kernel-page: Ensure Linux Libre is first.Rutherther
The list box is automatically sorted, putting Hurd in front of Linux Libre. * gnu/installer/newt/kernel.scm (run-kernel-page): Do not sort. Change-Id: Id534560e93eee597e1180d766abb7422cd8e547a
2026-01-14installer: services: Disable desktop page on Hurd and 32-bit x86.Rutherther
To prevent confusion, remove possibility to choose the desktop services on both Hurd and 32-bit x86. As the info text suggests, desktop environments are not available on Hurd. As for x86, there some of the services do not build. While it is more idiomatic to fix those services, for the 1.5.0 release, use this workaround to disable the desktop page. This ensures users aren't left building something that will fail. * gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-desktop-environments-cbt-page): No longer show special info on Hurd. (run-desktop-environments-cbt-page/maybe): Call run-desktop-environments-cbt-page on architectures that support desktop environments well. (run-services-page): Call maybe variant of run-desktop-environments-cbt-page.

2026-01-14installer: partition: Force msdos on Hurd.Rutherther

2026-01-14installer: network: Check response code to assess substitute availability.Rutherther
This is to accomodate following situation: - The proxy is up - The substitute server is down When that happens, 5xx is returned from the proxy, typically either Bad Gateway or Gateway Timeout. This implies the substitute server is down. Still, for checking if the user is online, we do not check the response code. If there is a response, even 4xx, 5xx, it still means the user is online. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (url-alive?): Add optional argument to to check the response code. (common-urls-alive?): Add the same argument, passing it to url-alive? (check-substitute-availability): Assume offline when non-successful http code returned. Follow up of 9ea2174ba8f05445227c952e0faa17d9f65ddb8f.

2026-01-14installer: Add Hurd x86_64 as an option.Janneke Nieuwenhuizen
* gnu/installer/newt/kernel.scm (run-kernel-page): Rename "Hurd" to "Hurd 32-bit (experimental)". On 64-bit, also offer "Hurd 64-bit (highly experimental!)", and make these strings translatable. Make "Linux Libre" the first option. Add a line break after "When in doubt...". Upon re-entrry, use pre-selected kernel as the default. Make sure to always [re]set %current-target-system, as this page may be revisited and another kernel choice selected. * gnu/installer/kernel.scm (kernel->configuration): Update accordingly. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Also cater for the 64-bit Hurd by simply adding --target=(%current-target-system). Change-Id: I14cb2d2815265b8841c16cf9bcc3857b1024f507
2025-10-19installer: Respect /tmp/installer-assume-online in ↵Rutherther

2025-10-17installer: wait-service-online: Allow user to proceed if offline.Rutherther
The user may choose to proceed with installation even if they seem to be offline. This is mostly for cases where the user if actually online, but the gnu and guix infrastructure is down. On top of that, if the installer has all the necessary dependencies the user might not need internet at all. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-oservice-online): Add choice window for user to continue if offline.

2025-10-17installer: wait-service-online: Assume online for http errorful codes.Rutherther
The general idea of the step is to check if user is online.

2024-04-03Switch order of the default substitute servers.Christopher Baines
The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support. Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has. Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with substitute access. * config-daemon.ac: Switch substitute urls order. * doc/guix.texi: Ditto. * etc/guix-install.sh: Ditto. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Ditto. * guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Ditto.

2022-11-02installer: Skip the backtrace page on user abort.Mathieu Othacehe
When the user aborts the installation because a core dump is discovered or the installation command failed, displaying the abort backtrace doesn't make much sense.

2021-12-28installer: Offer the CUPS printing service on a dedicated page.Leo Famulari
Currently, the installer page RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE offers to the user all installer services that are not of the types 'desktop', 'network-management', or 'networking'. Concretely, this means that it offers the CUPS printing service, because that is the only service of a different type defined in the installer. In later commits, we will add some services of a new type, and we only want them to be offered when the user is installing a non-graphical system. At least one of these new services (NTP) is part of %DESKTOP-SERVICES. If it was also offered on RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE, and the user had configured a system using %DESKTOP-SERVICES, the user could accidentally add NTP to their services twice, which is an error and would break installation. So, this commit makes the RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE be more specific about what services to offer. This makes it easier to discriminate between desktop and non-desktop installations, in terms of when a given service is offered. * gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): Rename to ... (RUN-PRINTING-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): ... new variable, and select only 'document' services. (RUN-SERVICES-PAGE): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/installer/tests.scm (CHOOSE-SERVICES): Adjust accordingly.
2021-10-21installer: Reorder file system type listbox.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries, for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB. Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed bcachefs later ;-) Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end of the list. * gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the LISTBOX-ITEMS.
2021-09-23installer: Support XFS.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add ‘xfs’ to the list box. * gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type) (partition-filesystem-user-type): Add ‘xfs’ mapping. (create-xfs-file-system): New procedure. (format-user-partitions): Use it. * gnu/installer.scm (set-installer-path): Add xfsprogs.
2021-06-30installer: Offer the CUPS printing service.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add CUPS. * gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-other-services-cbt-page): New procedure. (run-services-page): Call it last.
