Ttulip it seems to work fine on my system (guh nome)

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:29 PM

nah this is a different app

madomado•4/4/25, 2:30 PM

tdn doens't crash immediately so that's an improvement

madomado•4/4/25, 2:30 PM

madomado•4/4/25, 2:32 PM

do we just get rid of OOBE in bootcs

tulipOP•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

yup

madomado•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

@ultramarine dev how do our current images work

madomado•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

bootc

madomado•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

anaconda?

madomado•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

or something something

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:33 PM

anaconda

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

we use anaconda

madomado•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

also no initial-setup?

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

no we do use it

madomado•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

hah…?

tulipOP•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

is there any way i can statically link to libhelium cuz i dont think i can install libhelium on c10s :clueless:

madomado•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

terra for c10

Mmadomado also no initial-setup?

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:34 PM

we use it on iso installs

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

oem images being switched to taidan in my pr only

j0rge•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

Yo thread this

madomado•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

didn't test but

j0rge•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

We gotta do other things in here

madomado•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

I see

Noel•4/4/25, 2:35 PM

Yup, move to Live ISO thread please.

Jj0rge We gotta do other things in here

tulipOP•4/4/25, 2:36 PM

heh the huge emoji

Cappy Ishihara•4/4/25, 2:36 PM

me when noto emoji

madomado•4/4/25, 2:36 PM

sorry for being a karen in your restaurant /hj

AfterStory•4/4/25, 3:49 PM

@j0rge I am following correctly? Current Universal Blue Initiatives Summary:

Immediate priorities center on bolstering infrastructure security through comprehensive SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation, image signing, and automated repository scanning. Concurrently, intensive Fedora 42 (F42) testing is underway to address stability.

Strategically, Universal Blue is being positioned as a manufacturing process rather than a monolithic product, empowering customized image creation. Reflecting this, the Bluefin image will adopt a pure image mode for F42, moving away from local package layering, and will utilize the Anaconda installer for official ISOs. Enhanced upstream collaboration with Fedora teams is formalized through regular meetings, focusing on atomic desktop advancements and tracking initiatives like the proposed F43 removal of Fedora Flatpaks.

Key technical developments involve evaluating uupd as a potential default update mechanism, standardizing on Titanoboa for liveCD builds, and prototyping Dragonfly for peer-to-peer (p2p) LAN updates. Ensuring rebase helper integrity between CentOS and Fedora streams is also crucial. Access to dedicated ARM hardware aims to accelerate GDX development.

Overall efforts focus on refining tooling, improving security posture, ensuring a stable F42 release, and strengthening upstream alignment.

what llm did you use lol

AfterStory•4/4/25, 3:50 PM

testing the new gemini

AfterStory•4/4/25, 3:51 PM

but damm that is a lot of things you guys are planning to do

j0rge•4/4/25, 3:51 PM

dragonfly isn't f42 material

j0rge•4/4/25, 3:52 PM

mostly we just gotta clamper down and fix bugs

j0rge•4/4/25, 3:53 PM

if there's some f42 test week or something we could remind people to use the beta channel, etc.

is there any way to "customize" the partition layout or FS or is it all automatic?

Zeglius•4/4/25, 6:55 PM

You have to make it yourself. to-disk is not meant to be a fully fleshed installer

Gerblesh•4/4/25, 6:56 PM

I see, so the partitioning is done before hand?

Zeglius•4/4/25, 6:56 PM

Yep

Gerblesh•4/4/25, 6:56 PM

nice

Gerblesh•4/4/25, 6:56 PM

so readymade is perfect then

M2•4/4/25, 8:38 PM

It's a demo according to the documentation. It recommends to-filesystem with a bring your own partitioning

cablespaghetti•4/4/25, 9:59 PM

A question for you knowledgable folks; I’m working on figuring out how to get a couple of proprietary system level pieces of software to work nicely on Bluefin. Currently I’m building rpms and layering them for testing with view to build a custom image. In the new bootc world this approach won’t be possible, so what is the best way of tinkering before I commit to a long GitHub actions run?

Robert•4/4/25, 10:01 PM

If the components you are adding can be validated in a terminal, you can use podman-bootc to run the image from your local containers storage
https://github.com/containers/podman-bootc

I also tend to run a local OCI registry, push a new image there and bootc switch to it in a VM.

cablespaghetti•4/4/25, 10:03 PM

Ok that’s a very cool approach. I’ll be playing with this stuff tomorrow! Thanks!

Zoid•4/4/25, 11:06 PM

@Robert how is the SBOM stuff with syft/grype going? It seems you've gone back and forth a couple times on it in the repos

Robert•4/4/25, 11:12 PM

It's working well in Bluefin LTS - we just need to switch it back on.
Generating the SBOM fails in Bluefin for some reason. I've not had a chance to investigate yet. I think M2 said we need to create a large swap file for it to succeed.
Once Bluefin is fixed, we can copy and paste the code over to main, Aurora and uCore

Zoid•4/4/25, 11:15 PM

That's interesting but exciting news! I'm looking at doing the same in my repos. I can take a look as well. You think there's any benefit in putting this in the image template as well? So everyone can get them as artifacts?

Robert•4/4/25, 11:16 PM

Once the issues are ironed out, it's definitely something we should put in the template!

M2•4/5/25, 12:09 AM

If we're going to use packages repo... we need to actually keep it up to date
