Pacstrap Calamares error #14

Closed Boria138 closed 1 year ago

Boria138 commented 1 year ago

I am using your script pacstrap_calamares (thank you for it) to install my distribution as a module but I have a question if I can install packages in pacstrap using a script instead of a module ? Let me explain I have a script which finds out what kind of processor a person has and uses this to install the package ucode I have to do the following command sh pacstrap_calamares -c ${ROOT} intel-ucode but the script complains that intel ucode is not the directory, is it possible to fix this ?

You don't need to pacstrap intel-ucode. You can use a script to install it in a subsequent step using the shellprocess module.

pacstrap allows you to install the minimal packages needed to get a working environment. After that, you can use the working environment to install packages or perform other actions.

So I have to run the script through a shell process and install packages through pacman -S and then the packages will be installed in the main system and not in the live iso ?

If you are using a script to determine which ucode package to install then yes, a shellprocess is the way to go.

In the shellprocess.conf there is a setting named dontChroot. If you set it to false then the script will be run in the target system.

Getting used to using shellprocess modules will be generally useful for you. It will allow you to customize the install.
