Fork

python-parted and python-pyparted compiled and required by the installer.


Important module for cnchi and not existing in the Arch Linux repository:

python-pyparted

For prevent module not found when "import parted", is compiled and present in RebornOS repo.



Gnome extensions used (are installed from the RebornOS repository):

gnome-shell-extension-appindicator  (KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support)
gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel

===========================================================================

2020.04.27

Previously, cnchi was downloaded from the Antergos (read-only) Gitlab repository.
Now, cnchi is downloaded from our repository.
Location: https://repo.rebornos.org/RebornOS/sources/cnchi/


===========================================================================

2020.04.29

Change load.conf (live efi boot) from:

timeout 3
default archiso-x86_64

to:

timeout 5
default archiso-x86_64.conf

Live image now starts correctly in EFI mode

Change the Wallpaper

Change to a new location/subgroup:

https://gitlab.com/reborn-os-team/rebornos-cnchi/cnchi-gnome-based


=========================================================================

2020.05.07

Installation options (file selection) exist in:

desktop_info.py
feature_info.py


Nixnote2 (abandoned maintenance, and malfunctioning) was changed to qownnotes


Fixed Uncomplicated Firewall (gufw) shortcut to display properly on different desktops


File /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist change:

chmod 644 /etc/pacman.d/reborn-mirrorlist


=========================================================================

2020.05.22

In file "desktop.py" change in line 65:

self.desktop_choice = 'deepin'

...to:

self.desktop_choice = 'base'

file 172:

        # Set Gnome as default
        self.select_default_row(desktop_info.NAMES["gnome"])
        
...changed to:

        # Set base as default
        self.select_default_row(desktop_info.NAMES["base"])

...so that the default selection of the desktop at the time of installation goes
from Deepin to base (base is chosen only because it is the first option
existing in the list).



In file "desktop_info.py" change the Deepin description from:

    'deepin': _("Deepin desktop is a lightweight, elegant desktop environment that "
                "has been commented as a mix between Windows and Macs by many of its' "
                "users. It was originally created for the Linux Deepin distribution. "
                "Now, DDE will support most Linux operating systems such as Arch "
                "Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE etc."),
                
...to:

   'deepin': _("IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that the Deepin desktop can often be unstable. "
                "This does not depend on us, but on the developers of Deepin who "
                "usually upload BETA versions of the desktop or some components in the "
                "stable repositories of Arch Linux."),


Added file "auto_partition.py" in Cnchi folder with changes to original one,
and modified build.sh to make this change when compiling.
Here we changed the references from AntergosRoot to RebornOSRoot, etc.
To return to the previous condition, remove the modification in build.sh.
To leave it as it was, it will be necessary to eliminate the overwriting
of this file in the build.


=========================================================================

2020.06.04

Changed sddm, sddm-theme-gracilis-git, and sddm-config-editor-git 
for lightdm and lightdm-webkit2-greeter in desktop access.

Changed sddm to lightdm on access to the following desktops:

Cinnamon
Pantheon
Windows
XFCE

Openbox
Enlightenment

The following greeter is used:

lightdm-webkit2-greeter


The following theme is used for this greeter (compiled and uploaded to the
RebornOS repository):

the above mentioned desktops:


<pkgname>lightdm</pkgname>
<pkgname>lightdm-webkit2-greeter</pkgname>
<pkgname>lightdm-webkit2-theme-material2</pkgname>


The webkit2-greeter configuration file is copied in the cnchi installation
(cnchi subdirectory, (sent to the final cnchi directory in /usr/share/cnchi
from the build) to replace it in postainstall:

lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
