 K900 ⚡️ | It's draft until I can polish it | 15:06:11 |
| 7 Aug 2025 |
| K900 ⚡️ | OK I think I have fully calamared | 11:19:30 |
| K900 ⚡️ | @emily @ElvishJerricco pls review | 11:19:35 |
 emily | ok in a lil bit | 13:05:03 |
| emily | K900: going by the balance of reactions in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/negativity-around-the-graphical-installer/67646, you sure you don't want to try just dropping it? :p | 13:43:21 |
| K900 ⚡️ | I'd rather fix it | 13:45:34 |
| K900 ⚡️ | tbh | 13:45:35 |
| emily | I'm somewhat sceptical it can be fixed on a conceptual level (as a point-and-click no-code installer for a distro that immediately requires you to edit code in a text editor and run a CLI tool to do anything after) | 13:47:18 |
| emily | I'll review the PR though | 13:47:21 |
| emily | do your changes fix the 46% thing? | 13:47:56 |
| K900 ⚡️ | No | 13:49:52 |
| K900 ⚡️ | You need to parse Nix progress output for that | 13:50:04 |
| K900 ⚡️ | The only reason it's "stuck at 46%" is because our plugin isn't giving it progress updates | 13:50:40 |
| K900 ⚡️ | It's not actually a bug | 13:51:07 |
| K900 ⚡️ | * It's not actually a bug in Calamares | 13:51:13 |
| K900 ⚡️ | It's just our plugin being shit | 13:51:18 |
| emily | yes | 14:02:57 |
| emily | but have you seen how many people complain about it and get confused | 14:03:05 |
| emily | the people who are precisely the target market for a nice smooth graphical installer | 14:03:11 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Yes but it can be fixed | 14:05:17 |
| emily | nobody is gonna fix it but ok :P | 15:47:42 |
| emily | I left a review | 15:47:53 |
| K900 ⚡️ | The commit rewrite is intentinoal | 15:48:41 |
| emily | FWIW you may have to ping vlinkz on fediverse or similar | 15:48:41 |
| K900 ⚡️ | * The commit rewrite is intentonal | 15:48:43 |
| K900 ⚡️ | * The commit rewrite is intentional | 15:48:46 |
| emily | my experience is that he is around but bad at noticing pings | 15:49:00 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Doing it with git subtree doesn't rewrite the paths on the history | 15:49:01 |
| emily | er, yeah that's the point. the merge rewrites the paths | 15:49:14 |
| emily | you keep the trail of commit hashes | 15:49:28 |
