(For the innocent bystanders, we've decided to use fedora-desktop list for development communication around https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cha nges/WorkstationOstree , so you'll see some more or less mundane stuff go by here - if you're not interested, just ignore it. Better than chasing things via private mail or yet-another-list, I believe). Here's a first status update of sorts for the atomic workstation effort (I'm afraid this name will stick if we don't come up with something else soon, I'm already used to it). David got an initial repo set up at http://209.132.179.147/repo After some fixups, we've gotten it to boot, show gdm and log in in boxes. Here is what I did to get to the login screen: 1) Install fedora-atomic in a vm (following the instructions on www.pro jectatomic.io). 2) Add a remote with ostree remote add workstation http://209.132.179.147/repo ; 3) Turn off selinux with setenforce 0 3) Switch out the atomic host image with the workstation image with rpm-ostree rebase workstation:fedora-atomic- workstation/rawhide/x86_64/foo-host 4) Reboot, edit /etc/pam.d/gdm-lauch-environment to replace pam_unix.so with pam_permit.so 5) Start gdm with systemctl isolate graphical.target So thats a good first milestone to reach. Or almost reach - we still need to put the gdm pam fixes into the repo (or rather, in upstream gdm), and make the system boot to graphical.target by default. The next steps I see are: - Figure out how we can work on the repository together. David, can you make your scripts and tooling for the repository building available somewhere ? github or pagure would be the obvious candidates, I guess. - Figure out how to work on other bits that we need in this scenario. Mainly, this will be Richard making gnome-software talk to rpm- ostreed. We should probably explore the option to locally compose a tree with custom bits in it. Or just work inside a vm ? Owen is looking at using vagrant for this, I think. - Get a friendlier installation story than transmutating a fedora atomic image. rpm-ostree has support for generating some form of install image, we should look into that. I think this is on Davids todo list. - Talk to rel-eng about steps to move this from our prototyping into their real. I have an initial meeting next week to start this. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
