A clean-snapshot run showed qemu/virt-manager installed without choosing
it: PR #4 had embedded the install in the niri module. Removed from there
(zero virt packages in a plain niri run, harness-verified) and moved into
install_category_pkgs Virtualisation: picking qemu/virt-manager there now
also enables libvirtd and adds the user to the libvirt group.
virt-manager on niri/Noctalia failed with 'authentication unavailable:
no polkit agent available to authenticate action org.libvirt.unix.manage'
- bare compositors ship no polkit agent, unlike GNOME/KDE.
Two fixes:
- install_session_prereqs installs polkit-gnome and wires its agent
.desktop into /etc/xdg/autostart (paths overridable for testing).
- niri module optionally installs the qemu/libvirt stack, enables
libvirtd, and adds the user to the libvirt group: members manage
qemu:///system with no polkit prompt at all (the real fix; applies
after re-login).
noctalia 5.3.0 is in the Fedora 44 updates repo (confirmed on
packages.fedoraproject.org and by a fresh-install dnf install noctalia).
The niri module no longer calls add_terra_repo; Terra stays in the base
section and in the mango module, which is the only consumer left
(mangowc). README + comments updated.
On F44, 'dnf copr enable solopasha/hyprland' fails with 'Chroot not found':
verified via the Copr API, solopasha is rawhide-only right now. lionheartp/
Hyprland (solopasha fork, also ships noctalia packages) and hermitfeather/
hyprland both have fedora-44 chroots.
The module now tries lionheartp, hermitfeather, then solopasha, and aborts
with an actionable message if none has a chroot for this release. README
updated to name the chain, not a single repo.
- Terra repo is added right after RPM Fusion in the base setup (it carries
noctalia + mangowc). Modules keep calling add_terra_repo so they still
work standalone; it is a no-op when terra-release is present.
- Hyprland was retired from the Fedora repos after F42 (dependency churn);
the module could never resolve 'hyprland' on F44. It now enables the
solopasha/hyprland COPR first — the de facto standard for F43/44 — and
treats the accessory packages (hyprpaper/hyprlock/waybar/mako/wofi/
xwayland-satellite) as optional so a name drift warns instead of aborting.
- README updated.
Splits setup.sh into lib/common.sh, lib/session.sh and seven modules
(3 DE, 4 TWM). Targets a bare Fedora 44+ install.
Fixes carried over from the first build:
- DEBUG_MODE was unbound under set -u, aborting the script at the version banner
- mangled 'echohttps://...' line left over from the starburst split
- set -e was missing entirely; --debug flag parsing restored
- unguarded 'clear' aborted the run without TERM
- $PRETTY_NAME unguarded under set -u
- modules were sourced, leaking shell options into the parent
- Flathub added twice (system-wide + per-user)
- no dnf5-plugins check before using 'dnf config-manager'
- no Fedora release gate
- /usr/share/xsessions assumed to exist when writing session entries
