Is there a significant difference between the atomic desktops and the mutable variants using the corresponding package group other than the immutability?

Timothee would be a good one to ask on that. He is in Matrix in the Atomic desktops channel.

hah yeah this is what we're supposed to be doing, we got some repos we cloned as main-bootc, hwe-bootc, etc but I don't think we're using them

j0rge•8/15/24, 5:24 PM

I'm not sure if we need to have a ton of new repos, we could just opportunanistically snag swap the common ones like gnome/kde, as those come online.

It'd be simple to switch the base image and remove a dnf groupinstalldnf groupinstall once upstream Fedora produces them

Noel•8/15/24, 5:28 PM

it's a DNF command. There are groups of packages you can install and allows you to install all the ones you need. An example would be like the Gnome DE or KDE DE.

antheas•8/15/24, 5:29 PM

if you do that you will get an invalid selinux policy and invalid permissions on your directory tree

antheas•8/15/24, 5:29 PM

and it will not boot

imbev•8/15/24, 5:29 PM

I haven't encountered that with bootc, but that might be relevant to rpm-ostree -> bootc migration

antheas•8/15/24, 5:30 PM

the reason you ahvent is because youre using an image that has the DE in the commit

antheas•8/15/24, 5:30 PM

so it has correct SELinux and correct directory permissions

antheas•8/15/24, 5:30 PM

if you make the base commit smaller, such as using an image without a DE it doesn quite work

antheas•8/15/24, 5:30 PM

the guys here had this problem with cosmic too

antheas•8/15/24, 5:30 PM

they needed to use a workaround for selinux

imbev•8/15/24, 5:33 PM

I don't think that's the case, dnf list installed | grep -i gnomednf list installed | grep -i gnome has no output within the AlmaLinux bootc image

antheas•8/15/24, 5:34 PM

and does it boot?

imbev•8/15/24, 5:34 PM

I believe so, but I can confirm that rq

antheas•8/15/24, 5:34 PM

whats the link to almalinux

Aantheas whats the link to almalinux

imbev•8/15/24, 5:35 PM

That's the base image that I'm using, and that image does not contain a DE

can you link me?

imbev•8/15/24, 5:39 PM

Confirmed, it does boot

antheas•8/15/24, 5:41 PM

where is the policy for gnome?

antheas•8/15/24, 5:41 PM

selinux-policy-targeted?

Aantheas ok went through it, its essentially a variant of the fedora-bootc

imbev•8/15/24, 5:41 PM

Exactly, the AlmaLinux image uses the Fedora bootc config as a git submoduel

antheas•8/15/24, 5:41 PM

could be that, so it was only an issue with cosmic

antheas•8/15/24, 5:42 PM

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/selinux-policy/selinux-policy-targeted/fedora-40-updates.html seems so

selinux-policy-targeted-40.24-1.fc40 - Fedora Packages

What you have in https://github.com/ublue-os/main-bootc/tree/initial-bootc-desktop-builds is exactly what I had in mind

GitHub - ublue-os/main-bootc at initial-bootc-desktop-builds

OCI base images of Fedora bootc with batteries included - GitHub - ublue-os/main-bootc at initial-bootc-desktop-builds

RobertOP•8/15/24, 5:58 PM

Yeah, it's not as bad as I expected. rpm-ostree doesn't support those meta groups, so I thought we'd have the same issue here.

Iimbev Would a ublue EL10 image be CentOS Stream based?

j0rge•8/15/24, 6:06 PM

I would think so, just get it directly from there is what I'm thinking, and then people could swap out to alma/rocky/whatever and we don't have to choose the right or "wrong" one.

RobertOP•8/15/24, 6:12 PM

@j0rge Can I takeover the main-bootc repo? It's currently re-pushing the base fedora-bootc image, but I'd like to use it to start building bootc desktops

j0rge•8/15/24, 6:12 PM

100% don't even PR just go go go.

RobertOP•8/15/24, 6:13 PM

Could I have admin? I'd like to change a few repo settings

j0rge•8/15/24, 6:13 PM

like if we crib off of one of your images in order to get the rest of the stuff in place then that sounds smart to me.

j0rge•8/15/24, 6:13 PM
