 | 2026-10-01 | Steamify `feature/extended-controller-support` (7dae14c; on top of `feature/nvidia-gaming-fix` d0e4d8c, 2.9.7), plain CachyOS ISO 260809 (VM `~/vms/steamify-vm`, `vminstall.sh --iso`), dev `main` + the nvidia suite; on the PC (native CachyOS, KVM), headless | N1-N5 (new suite `nvidia`), C1-C3 (cli block 60), R1.1-R1.6/R1.10, H1-H5 and the CEC/CEC cache blocks, R2.1, toggles | **269 pass, 0 fail**: cli 65, nvidia 43, menu 37, hw 78, installer 4, toggles 42. Found on the way (test side, not Steamify): R1.1 and H3 pressed menu rows by number and the new Extended controller support row shifted them (now by name); the N4 check for the parameter in `/boot/limine.conf` must ignore snapper's snapshot entries, which keep the command line of their time. The kernel part (parameters, early-load file, hook, initramfs) behaves in a real Limine VM; the real driver and picture are only checked on the RTX 5080 PC |
 | 2026-10-14 | Steamify `release/2.12.0` (dc189dc), plain CachyOS VM `~/vms/steamify-vm` (new ssh key: the old throwaway one was gone, authorized in the `ssh-ready` snapshot), dev `main` + the new nvidia suite; on the laptop (Ubuntu, KVM), headless | cli, menu, hw, installer, toggles, nvidia (N1, G1, N2-N5 rewritten for 2.12.0); boot loaders and the plain-PC install check not run (need the Steamify ISO) | **292 pass, 0 fail** (cli 65, menu 37, hw 78, installer 4, toggles 42, nvidia 66). Before the rewrite the old nvidia suite failed 8 checks, all because "Gaming on NVIDIA" is gone in 2.12.0. Test side: gamescope's smoke test needs a Vulkan device, so the VM gets `vulkan-swrast`; after a reboot the same gamescope fails with `vkAllocateMemory failed (-2)` on lavapipe in this VM (before the reboot it passes), so the offline-reinstall check runs before the reboot. Not seen on real hardware yet (N6) |
 | 2026-10-14 | Steamify 2.12.0 on the ISO `steamify-cachyos-2.12.0-dev-261014-x86_64.iso` (sha256 `bd93fa6b…ed47c`, built from `release/2.12.0`), dev `main` (7dd1f37); on the laptop (Ubuntu, KVM), headless | B1-B5 for limine, systemd-boot and grub; the plain-PC install check (generic) for all three | boot loaders: **limine 43, systemd-boot 42, grub 42 pass, 0 fail**. Plain PC: 21-22 pass, **1 fail per loader: "cec is on, but this is not a Steam Machine"**. Cause: `steamify-install` falls back to "everything on" (`...,vram,cec,machine,poweroff`) when Calamares passes no selection (the headless test install), and `cec` is offered on every PC; `poweroff` stays off by itself (`machine_available`). The docs say HDMI-CEC is ticked by default only on a Steam Machine: either the ISO's fallback should only include `cec` on a Steam Machine, or this check should not expect it off. To decide; a real install through the chooser is not affected by the fallback. Test side: three parallel first installs corrupted the shared package cache (`could not rename ... .part`): install one VM first to fill `~/vms/pkg-cache`; a first retry also hit a transient "cachyos: signature ... is invalid" from a mirror. Laptop needs a `bsdtar` shim (pycdlib) and `VM_SSH_KEY` outside `~/.ssh` |
+| 2026-10-14 | Steamify 2.12.0 on the rebuilt ISO `steamify-cachyos-2.12.0-dev-261014-x86_64.iso` (the ISO repo's PR #26 merged: the install fallback only turns HDMI-CEC on for a Steam Machine), dev `main` (7e11b94); laptop, headless | B1-B5 for limine, systemd-boot, grub; the plain-PC install check for all three | **boot loaders: limine 43, systemd-boot 42, grub 42; plain PC: limine 23, systemd-boot 22, grub 22: all pass, 0 fail.** The earlier "cec is on, but this is not a Steam Machine" is fixed. (The limine boot line in the summary says "aborted" only because its VM already existed from the first run of the same ISO; its 43 passed.) Test side: six parallel installs of a newly released kernel corrupted the shared package cache (`linux-cachyos ... corrupted (PGP signature)`): delete the new files from `~/vms/pkg-cache/pkg`, install one VM first, then the rest |
