Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55360>
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-external-command-with-handler/tty): New
procedure.
(run-external-command-with-line-hooks, run-command): Add a TTY? argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Call run-command with TTY?
argument set to #true.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Remove dependency on the guix
package for the PATH.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Set PATH inside container
to /run/current-system/profile/bin/.
Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>
* gnu/installer/user.scm (<secret>, secret?, make-secret,
secret-content): Add opaque <secret> record that boxes its contents,
with a custom printer that doesn't display anything.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page, run-user-page): Box
it.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Unbox it.

* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Remove command logging to

Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52831>.
Make sure to install the en_US.utf8 fallback locale if the selected locale is
not supported.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-locale): New procedure.
(install-system): Call it.
Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,
causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the
cow-store umount.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): New procedure,
(install-system): use it instead of call-with-container, to make sure that the
container is not jailed.
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.
When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read
"guix system init" command output.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Dump installation command output
to the console when running the installation tests.
This fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39712>.
The guix-daemon was preventing the cow-store umount, so restart it. Some
udevd workers, using cow-store files might also still be around, so have some
umount retries.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): New procedure,
(umount-cow-store): restart guix-daemon and kill all processes started from
within the cow-store before trying to umount the store overlay. Also try 5
times to umount the overlay in case it is still busy.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Rename to...
(run-command): Remove call to 'call-with-temporary-output-file' and hop
through Bash. Expect COMMAND to be a list of strings rather than a
string.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Turn INSTALL-COMMAND into a
list of strings and pass it to 'run-command'.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (edit-file): Likewise.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/39217>.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/38447>.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): New procedure ...,
(install-system): ... used here, to remove the store overlay so that the
target device is not seen as busy during further umount calls.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add #:real-name. Add
a label and entry for the real name and initialize the 'real-name' field
of the <user> record.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set the 'comment'
field of the <user-account> record.
This allows the installer to distinguish success from failure, and also
ensures the shell that runs 'guix system init' exits upon completion.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command)[pause]: New procedure.
Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle
'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Remove 'false-if-exception'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-root-password-page): New procedure.
* gnu/installer/user.scm (users->configuration): Filter out the "root"
account.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set 'uid' field in
'user-account' form.
Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>.
* gnu/installer/user.scm (<user>)[password]: New field.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (%seed): New variable.
(integer->alphanumeric-char, random-string)
(create-user-database): New procedures.
(install-system): Call 'create-user-database'.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Add #:users and pass
it to 'install-system'.
(run-final-page): Pass #:users to 'run-install-shell'.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add password entry.
Pass its result as the 'password' field of <user>.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Add #:locale and honor it.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Add 'locale'
parameter; pass it to 'install-system'.
(run-final-page): Obtain locale from RESULT; pass it to 'run-install-shell'.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Add 'locale' parameter; pass
it to 'run-shell-command'.
