https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AutoFirstBootServices This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Add {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} to desktop variants to run a predetermined set of tasks on first boot after post installation, notably installing codecs and cleaning up installer packages from the installed system. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Ngompa| Neal Gompa]] * Email: ngompa13@xxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} is a collection of scripts that invoke on firstboot of a freshly installed system to run a set of predetermined tasks. It also provides a framework for third-parties to introduce their own firstboot tasks to run through this framework. The initial services included are to install OpenH264 and remove Anaconda. == Benefit to Fedora == The main benefit is to smooth out the new user experience for new Fedora Linux installations. In particular, we can deal with a long-standing sticking point that Anaconda remains installed on the user's machine when it is not useful to do so. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Add {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} to the desktop kickstarts ** Add a preset to {{package|fedora-release}} for <code>fedora-autofirstboot.service</code> * Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11148 #11148] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == This will have no impact on upgraded systems, since the firstboot condition is not true in that case. == How To Test == # Install Fedora Workstation, KDE, etc. # Reboot into installed environment # Check to see <code>openh264</code> is installed and <code>anaconda-core</code> is not. == User Experience == The first boot will be slightly slower because of these tasks running, though they should happily run in the background as other services start up, so it should not be noticeable. == Dependencies == The main dependency is {{package|fedora-release}}, though we will need to ensure all {{package|udisks2}} plugins get pulled in as dependencies for {{package|gnome-disks}} and {{package|blivet-gui}} so they don't get uninstalled when Anaconda is. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Remove {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} from the kickstarts * Contingency deadline: Final freeze * Blocks release? No == Documentation == There is not currently much documentation in [https://pagure.io/fedora-autofirstboot the upstream project], though contributions are welcome. == Release Notes == Fedora Linux now ships with a framework for setting up first-boot services and uses this to install multimedia software and remove the installer software from the system after installation. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
