@Kyle Gospo I wonder if the rpm-ostreed.conf is ignored because rpm-ostreed needs to be restarted?

RoyalOughtness•8/21/24, 12:45 AM

to pick up the change?

RoyalOughtness•8/21/24, 12:50 AM

nvm, no wonder it's ignored:

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

@Kyle Gospo @antheas thinking about this a bit more, @imbev made this project which might be useful for pre installing Flatpaks that we wouldn't want the user to remove potentially? Stuff gnome apps, KDE apps, etc.?

Noel•8/21/24, 2:19 AM

https://codeberg.org/HeliumOS/flatpak-readonlyroot/src/tag/v0.2

Codeberg.org

flatpak-readonlyroot

Manage installed Flatpaks via a read-only filesystem.

Noel•8/21/24, 2:20 AM

That way, at least if you rebase, you have a base set of software that is included in the image?

Noel•8/21/24, 2:20 AM

Not sure how this would interact with rechunk however.

Kyle Gospo•8/21/24, 2:37 AM

I think that would also mean the flatpaks update with the system

Kyle Gospo•8/21/24, 2:38 AM

For security reasons I definitely don't want to do that

Kyle Gospo•8/21/24, 2:38 AM

Either that, or they exist in the read only part and also in a readable part, meaning it takes up double the space that does now

Kyle Gospo•8/21/24, 2:38 AM

Rather just let them uninstall stuff

j0rge•8/21/24, 3:20 AM

@Noel if you have the capacity to ask around to see if owen taylor's plan for /etc/preinstall for flatpaks is still the plan that would be useful. There's an upstream issue in flatpak for it.

antheas•8/21/24, 9:20 AM

i mean rechunk just repackages the image as an ostree commit

antheas•8/21/24, 9:21 AM

flatpaks are something we can revisit now that rechunk can handle partitioning big applications

antheas•8/21/24, 9:21 AM

once i receive the ally x i plan to work on a dx bazzite image, at the beginning for personal use

antheas•8/21/24, 9:23 AM

certain flatpaks might make sense to package in the image, e.g., filelight and calculator

@j0rge @Kyle Gospo should we just go ahead with https://github.com/ublue-os/config/pull/316 ?

it at least helps with these cases https://github.com/ublue-os/main/issues/632#issuecomment-2302192396

Kyle Gospo•8/21/24, 5:45 PM

yes, I think it's good for the end-user

RoyalOughtness•8/21/24, 5:46 PM

cool, I just need one more approval then

I'll leave the issue open though since it's only partially resolved
