2020-12-15Revert "gnu: grub: Fix unicode font loading when booting over TFTP."...This reverts commit 03fb57ff77b57de510b59485845ed7cb4e0a77a7, which breaks most system tests. Specifically, grub.cfg.drv fails to build: ERROR: In procedure canonicalize-path: In procedure canonicalize-path: No such file or directory Ludovic Courtès
2020-12-14gnu: grub: Fix unicode font loading when booting over TFTP....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (eye-candy)(font-file): Fix unicode font loading when booting over TFTP. Signed-off-by: Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org> Stefan
2020-11-17bootloader: grub: Skip install-grub-efi when producing a disk image....Fixes <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/44353>. Every bootloader should try their best to install themselves using only the MOUNT-POINT and otherwise do nothing. This requirement comes from the necessity to call INSTALL-GRUB when installing the (non-EFI) GRUB bootloader, which needs to populate the root file system with extra modules that cannot be fit in the core.img file, limited in size to 491520 bytes (by the i386-pc format required for legacy BIOS compatibility). As introducing bootloader knowledge at the level of the image code is undesirable, every bootloader should be adapted to support this fall-back for their installation procedure (TODO). * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi)[efi-dir]: Skip when the EFI-DIR argument is set to #f. Maxim Cournoyer
2020-11-01system: Generate grub locale directory for grub.cfg....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-locale-directory): New function. (grub-configuration-file)[locale-config]: Use grub-locale-directory and avoid the extra search when eye-candy have performed it. Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas
2020-10-30system: Fix dependency for grub.cfg generation....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (eye-candy)[font-file]: Use the bootloader package provided with the configuration. Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas

2020-10-18system: Use locale information in grub.cfg....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (define-module): Add new dependency. (grub-configuration-file): Add locale keyword. (grub-configuration-file)[locale-config]: New variable with generated locale configuration when locale parameter has been provided. [builder]: Add locale-config. Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas

2020-06-09bootloader: grub: Fix cross-compilation....This is a follow-up of 536c53d347291dcc75e1073af6e6c5c614e0fff4, that do not use the native version of "font-file", breaking cross-compilation. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (eye-candy): Use the native version of "font-file". Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-09gnu: grub: Support graphical gfxterm on all systems....* gnu/bootloaders/grub.scm (eye-candy): Use gfxterm depending only on (bootloader-configuration (terminal-outputs …)), which defaults to '(gfxterm). This makes the system argument obsolete. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org> Stefan
2020-06-08bootloader: grub: Add support for multiboot....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-configuration-file): Add support for multiboot. Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen
2020-05-29bootloader: grub: Rename the btrfs-subvolume-file-name parameter....Following discussion in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/37305>, it seems more appropriate to give the parameter a more generic name that better describes what it does. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (normalize-file): Rename the BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME parameter to STORE-DIRECTORY-PREFIX, and always assume this argument to be a string. (eye-candy): Likewise. Default STORE-DIRECTORY-PREFIX to "". (grub-configuration-file): Likewise. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-bootcfg): Adapt. Maxim Cournoyer
2020-05-29bootloader: grub: Use inheritance to define grub-minimal-bootloader....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-minimal-bootloader): Inherit from grub-bootloader to avoid field redefinition. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-05-29bootloader: grub: Do not run grub-install when creating a disk-image....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub): When creating a disk-image, grub-install will fail because it lacks root permissions. In that case, do not run grub-install and only copy Grub modules to the /boot directory. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-05-29bootloader: Add 'disk-image-installer'....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader>)[disk-image-installer]: New field, (bootloader-disk-image-installer): export it. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-disk-image): New procedure ... (grub-bootloader): ... used as "disk-image-installer" here. (grub-efi-bootloader): set "disk-image-installer" to #f. * gnu/system/image.scm (root-partition?, find-root-partition): Move to "Helpers" section. (root-partition-index): New procedure. (system-disk-image): Honor disk-image-installer, and use it to install the bootloader directly on the disk-image, if supported. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-05-20bootloader: grub: Allow booting from a Btrfs subvolume....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (strip-mount-point): Remove procedure. (normalize-file): Add procedure. (grub-configuration-file): New BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME parameter. When defined, prepend its value to the kernel and initrd file names, using the NORMALIZE-FILE procedure. Adjust the call to EYE-CANDY to pass the BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME argument. Normalize the KEYMAP file as well. (eye-candy): Add a BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME parameter, and use it, along with the NORMALIZE-FILE procedure, to normalize the FONT-FILE and IMAGE nested variables. Adjust doc. * gnu/bootloader/depthcharge.scm (depthcharge-configuration-file): Adapt. * gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (extlinux-configuration-file): Likewise. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (btrfs-subvolume?) (btrfs-store-subvolume-file-name): New procedures. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-bootcfg): Specify the Btrfs subvolume file name the store resides on to the `operating-system-bootcfg' procedure, using the new BTRFS-SUBVOLUME-FILE-NAME argument. * doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Add a Btrfs subsection to document the use of subvolumes. * gnu/tests/install.scm (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os) (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os-source) (%btrfs-root-on-subvolume-installation-script) (%test-btrfs-root-on-subvolume-os): New variables. Maxim Cournoyer
2020-05-19gnu: grub: Allow a PNG image and replace "aspect-ratio" with "resolution"....* gnu/bootloaders/grub.scm (<grub-image>): Remove this record and replace it by ... (<grub-theme>)[image]: ... this field with the default from %background-image, (<grub-theme>)[resolution]: ... this field with the defaults from 'width' and 'height' of 'grub-background-image'. (<grub-theme>)[images]: Remove this field. (svg->png): Rename to ... (image->png): ... and use 'copy-file' instead of 'svg->png', if the suffix of the image file is not ".svg". (grub-background-image): Remove the arguments 'width' and 'height'. (grub-theme-image): Add function. (grub-theme-resolution): Add function. (grub-theme-gfxmode): Add function. (grub-image): Remove function. (grub-image?): Remove function. (grub-image-aspect-ratio): Remove function. (grub-image-file): Remove function. (grub-theme-images): Remove function. (%default-theme): Remove variable. (%background-image): Remove variable. Using image formats different to SVG was not possible. For a <grub-image> to be chosen, the 'aspect-ratio' of it had to be 4/3, as the resolution of any image was defaulting to 1024 x 768. There was no code to determine the proper boot-resolution to make any use of a list of images with different aspect-ratios. It seems to be a better solution to only define a single image with any format, and use a given resolution only for the conversion from a SVG file. This also makes the use of a special <grub-image> record unnecessary. Moving the default values from '%background-image' and '%default-theme' into <grub-theme> makes a customisation easier without (inherit) and allows to remove the undocumented variables %background-image' and '%default-theme'.

2020-01-06Adjust module autoloads....In Guile < 2.9.7, autoloading a module would give you access to all its bindings. In future versions, autoloading a module gives access only to the listed bindings, as per #:select (see <https://bugs.gnu.org/38895>). This commit adjusts autoloads to the new semantics, allowing Guix to be built with Guile 2.9.7/2.9.8. * guix/build/download.scm <top level>: Remove call to 'module-autoload!'.

2018-05-28file-systems: Remove 'title' field and add <file-system-label>....The 'title' field was easily overlooked and was an endless source of confusion. Now, the value of the 'device' field is self-contained. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>): Change constructor name to '%file-system'. [title]: Remove. (<file-system-label>): New record type with printer. (report-deprecation, device-expression) (process-file-system-declaration, file-system): New macros. (file-system-title): New procedure.

2017-09-11system: Introduce a disjoint UUID type....Conceptually a UUID is just a bytevector. However, there's software out there such as GRUB that relies on the string representation of different UUID types (e.g., the string representation of DCE UUIDs differs from that of ISO-9660 UUIDs, even if they are actually bytevectors of the same length). This new <uuid> record type allows us to preserve information about the type of UUID so we can eventually convert it to a string using the right representation. * gnu/system/uuid.scm (<uuid>): New record type. (bytevector->uuid): New procedure. (uuid): Return calls to 'make-uuid'. (uuid->string): Rewrite using 'match-lambda*' to accept a single 'uuid?' argument. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. * gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Check whether ROOT-DEVICE is 'uuid?'. (read-boot-parameters): Use 'bytevector->uuid' when the store device is a bytevector. (read-boot-parameters-file): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. (device->sexp): New procedure. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Use it for 'root-device' and 'store'. (operating-system-bootcfg): Remove conditional in definition of 'root-device'. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): Check for 'uuid?' on DEVICE and take its bytevector. * gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (open-luks-device): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Call 'uuid-bytevector' for the #:volume-uuid argument. Ludovic Courtès
2017-08-20gnu: grub-efi-bootloader: Specialize grub-install invocation....* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi): Fix grub-install invocation for EFI systems. * gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Use the newer "bootloader-configuration" syntax. * gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration sytax. Also, use the same label for the LUKS-mapped device and the root partition. Remove unneeded "title" field for the file-system based on LUKS; as noted in the manual, the "title" field is ignored for mapped devices. * gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration, and use grub-efi-bootloader.
