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.

This is a followup to 682639c107, which
added the uvesafb upfront, before welcome page had been displayed.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (check-hardware-support): New
procedure.
(run-welcome-page): Use it.
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. Hide it when the abort condition is &user-abort-error and skip directly
to the dump page.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (&user-abort-error): New variable.
(user-abort-error?): New procedure.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-failed-page): Raise a

* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Hide the backtrace page and directly
propose to dump the report when the a &user-abort-error is raised.
There will be false positives: Because the Guix installer uses the
kernel argument modprobe.blacklist=radeon,amdgpu and some AMD graphics
actually work okay according to h-node, these users will get a
false alarm.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (run-welcome-page): Warn before showing
the welcome page.
This is a follow-up of: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57232>

Checks the availability of the mirror bordeaux.guix.gnu.org in addition to
ci.guix.gnu.org. This allows to proceed the installation if the
ci.guix.gnu.org is unavailable.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Relax internet check
availability criteria.

Guix System.

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.
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.

Note: This change requires an updated 'guix' package that contains
Linux-swap support in (gnu build file-systems).
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-partitions->configuration): Use UUIDs
in the 'swap-devices' field.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-final-page)[wait-for-clients]: New
procedure. Use it.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (choose-partitioning): Wait for
'starting-final-step' message and move configuration file dialog
handling to...
(conclude-installation): ... here. Send over PORT the reply
corresponding to 'starting-final-step'.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (gui-test-program): When ENCRYPTED? is false,
invoke 'swaplabel' in the marionette.
(installation-target-os-for-gui-tests): When ENCRYPTED? is false, except
a fixed UUID.
When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.
To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID
argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that
guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using
fork+exec-command/container procedure.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it,
(install-system): run the installation from within a container.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
