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.
This adds support for creating and editing NTFS partitions. It is however not
possible yet to create root NTFS partitions, as overlaying on top of a fuse
partition does not seem supported.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add "ntfs-3g" to the inputs.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type,
partition-filesystem-user-type, create-ntfs-file-system,
format-user-partitions): Add NTFS support.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add NTFS support.

to 'installer-keymap-page',
(installer-steps): set the help menu and pass the appropriate context to
compute-keymap-step calls,
(guile-newt): update to revision 2.
* 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.
This is useful for automated tests.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online)[online?]: New
procedure. Check for /tmp/installer-assume-online.
Use it instead of 'connman-online?'.
This will allow us to automate testing of the installer.

'run-form-with-clients'. Handle 'exit-fd-ready'.

* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-success-page)
(run-install-failed-page): When (current-clients) is non-empty, call
'send-to-clients' without displaying a choice window.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-failed-page): Propose between
installer resume or restart. Do actually resume the installation by raising an
&installer-step-abort condition if "Resume" button is pressed. Otherwise, keep
going as the installer will be restarted by login.

Reported by Brice Waegeneire <brice@waegenei.re>.
Previously, pressing F12 or shift-F2 in one of those forms would cause
it to exit, usually with the default value #t because the caller had not
provided a useful hotkey "callback".
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (run-input-page, run-confirmation-page)
(run-listbox-selection-page, run-checkbox-tree-page)
(run-file-textbox-page): Pass #:flags FLAG-NOF12 to 'make-form'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39199>.
Reported by Jonathan Brielmaier <jonathan.brielmaier@web.de>.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (run-file-textbox-page): Move 'loop' to
the beginning of the body. Do not call 'loop' from the 'dynamic-wind'
exit handler as we would not return the value of the second call to
'loop'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/36885>.
Reported by <lukasbf@tutanota.com>.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (edit-file): New procedure.
(run-file-textbox-page): Add #:edit-button? and #:editor-locale
parameters. Remove 'file-text' and add 'edit-button', and add it
to the horizontal stacked grid when EXIT-BUTTON? is true. Wrap
body in 'loop'. Handle case where ARGUMENT is EDIT-BUTTON by calling
'loop'.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-config-display-page): Add #:locale
parameter. Pass #:edit-button? and #:editor-locale to
'run-file-textbox-page'.

list box.

logical-partition?): Remove, as now provided by Guile-Parted.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Remove disk-destroy calls,

This fixes 55c43108 commit that renamed input-hide-checkbox? into
input-visibility-checkbox?.

* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (run-input-page): Likewise.
Rename INPUT-HIDE-CHECKBOX? argument to INPUT-VISIBILITY-CHECKBOX?.
This fixes https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35622.

This is a followup to 7d567af46b.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (auto-partition!): Append ESP-PARTITION, when
it is true, to the result of 'create-adjacent-partitions!'.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partioning-page): Remove
'initial-partitions' variable, and remove call to
'create-special-user-partitions'.
Co-authored-by: Mathieu Othacehe <m.othacehe@gmail.com>
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35731>.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partioning-page)[run-page]:
Introduce 'initial-partitions' variable. Previously we'd call
'disk-partitions' after 'auto-partition' had done its job of creating
new partitions, and thus its result would contain the just-created
partitions. Consequently, 'create-special-user-partitions' would return
the ESP partition we just created, and thus it would appear twice in the
list.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (run-input-page)[input-hide-checkbox?]: New
parameter adding a checkbox to toggle password hiding. By default, the
checkbox is active and the password is hence hided.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (prompt-luks-passwords): Enable the
previous parameter on both password input pages.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-root-password-page): Enable the previous
parameter,
(confirm-password): ditto,
(run-user-add-page): add a checkbox to toggle password hiding.
Previously, for a machine that only has wired networking, and only one
such network, we'd have to go through two selection boxes. Now we just
skip both.
* gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm (run-ethernet-page): When
'ethernet-services' returns one element, return it directly without
opening a listbox selection.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (run-technology-page): Likewise.
Previously, the "Everything is one partition" entry would come first in
English but it would be second in French. This change keeps it the
first choice regardless of the language.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-scheme-page): Pass
#:sort-listbox-items? to 'run-scheme-page'.
Previously, if we had a password mismatch, the 'password' field would
end up containing a <user> record instead of the actual password.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (confirm-password): Make TRY-AGAIN
optional and adjust docstring.
(run-user-add-page): Move 'confirm-password' call one level higher.
* 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.
Previously the "listbox" would be unnecessarily high, leaving too little
space for the German translation of the text above.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Increase
#:info-textbox-width and pass #:listbox-height.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (<system-service>)[recommended?]: New
field.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-desktop-environments-cbt-page):
Pass #:selection to 'run-checkbox-tree-page', computed from the
'recommended?' field of each service.
(run-networking-cbt-page): Likewise.
