# To do (Steam Machine edition)
|
|
|
|
## Open
|
|
|
|
1. **Steamify installer page** (in progress 2026-09-28; next ISO build after 13:00).
|
|
Done in the tree, not yet tried in Calamares:
|
|
- `packagechooserq@steamifypage` right after the packages page, titled
|
|
"Steamify"; the old skip/boot pages are gone.
|
|
- `usr/local/share/steamify-installer/SteamifyPage.qml`: CachyOS installer
|
|
look (palette, turquoise #00CED1, standard Switch/RadioButton), rows left,
|
|
explanation right, Boot into under the conversion. Stores the on-ids
|
|
(+ `boot` for desktop, `none`) as `packagechooser_steamifypage`;
|
|
`steamify-install` turns that into `--options`/`--boot`.
|
|
- Rows from `steamify.sh --defaults --list` (Steamify 2.8.0,
|
|
`feature/defaults-list`): `Items.qml` in `usr/local/share/steamify/qml`
|
|
(fallback: steamify-installer/Items.qml, copied by steamify-prepare.sh).
|
|
- **Next:** copy `Theme.qml` too (Texts.qml needs it); fix the RowLayout
|
|
"recursive rearrange" warning; `calamares-online.sh` downloads the newest
|
|
steamify.sh + Texts/Theme before Calamares (fallback: the ISO's) and writes
|
|
Items.qml from `--defaults --list`. Build with `steamify-prepare.sh <2.8.0
|
|
checkout>` (`vmisobuild.sh --steamify /mnt`), test in the ISO VM
|
|
(`vmisoboot.sh --fresh --fremont`), check `/var/log/steamify-install.log`.
|
|
- Quick page test without a build: `qml6` in the test VM with a stub
|
|
`config` and stub io.calamares modules (QT_FORCE_STDERR_LOGGING=1).
|
|
2. **Check the live name** (the build tree has it right:
|
|
`build/x86_64/airootfs/etc/os-release`) after the next build: Hello's subtitle should say
|
|
"Steamify CachyOS, based on CachyOS rolling" (`steamify-customize.sh`,
|
|
run by mkarchiso after the packages; the airootfs copy of os-release is
|
|
overwritten by a package).
|
|
3. **Steamify PR** for `feat/defaults-options` (2.7.0, `c4ec755`:
|
|
`--options`, `--boot`; also `steamify.sh --boot` on its own and the
|
|
HDMI-CEC volume fix): pushed and regression-tested in the VM (`--fremont`),
|
|
no PR yet; the user merges (never commit to main).
|
|
2.6.0 is released. Until 2.7.0 is, build the ISO with
|
|
`steamify-prepare.sh ~/projects/steamify-cachyos` (the branch).
|
|
4. **Build in the test VM** instead of on the Steam Machine
|
|
(steam-machine-iso skill), and install the result unattended with
|
|
`scripts/vminstall.sh --iso` (vm-install skill; the Calamares Steamify
|
|
step then needs `steamify-install` run from the live script).
|
|
5. **Test on the real Steam Machine** from a USB stick (gamescope, LEDs, CEC,
|
|
power-off) before calling the ISO usable.
|
|
|
|
## Done
|
|
|
|
- **Steamify 2.6.0** released (`--defaults`, install-time mode).
|
|
- **Live session** (VM, `--fremont`): Vapor look and layout (Steam Deck
|
|
wallpaper) at the live login; the power-off module is built for both ISO
|
|
kernels and loaded at boot, in the VM it returns "No such device" (no
|
|
AMDI0030 GPIO controller), as designed. Whether it keeps the real Steam
|
|
Machine off is part of the hardware test.
|
|
- **Regression test 2.6.0 on an existing desktop install** (test VM from
|
|
ssh-ready, `--fremont`): full first run, re-apply, notifications/CEC/theme
|
|
off and on again. No errors; user units enabled and running, theme applied
|
|
and restored live, no first-login autostart with a session.
|
|
- **ISO name**: `steamify-cachyos-<date>-x86_64.iso` (`iso_name` in
|
|
`archiso/profiledef.sh`); the volume label stays `COS_<yyyymm>`.
|
|
- **VM install from the ISO (2026-09-27, `f42859a`):** a VM install from the ISO (Hello's
|
|
Install, no manual fixes) ran Steamify's step: every component OK,
|
|
`exit: 0`, SDDM autologin into gamescope. First desktop login (session switched to plasma in the VM) passed too:
|
|
Vapor layout, the app opened with everything on. The first-login script
|
|
runs the newest *release*, so it only works once 2.6.0 is released (in the
|
|
test it was pointed at the bundle).
|
|
The VM's text
|
|
console doesn't show (virgl): read the installed disk with
|
|
`qemu-nbd -r` + `mount -o ro,rescue=nologreplay,subvol=@` (logs in `@log`).
|
|
|
|
## Later
|
|
|
|
- **Branding**: the live session's os-release says "Steamify, based on
|
|
CachyOS" (Hello's subtitle); Hello's window title and the boot menu still
|
|
say CachyOS. Check with the CachyOS team.
|
|
- **Release**: a CI job that builds the ISO (privileged container, flags from
|
|
the steam-machine-iso skill) and hosts it (>2 GB, not a GitHub release asset).
|
|
- **Drop the Boost 1.91 workaround** in `steamify-prepare.sh` once
|
|
`cachyos-calamares-next` is rebuilt against the repos' Boost.
