# To do (Steam Machine edition)
|
|
|
|
## Open
|
|
|
|
1. **Test the Steamify installer pages** (after the next build, needs
|
|
Steamify 2.7.0 with `--skip`/`--boot`; the ISO has the branch's bundle
|
|
until it's released): a "Steam Machine" page (leave out: multi-select,
|
|
nothing selected = full setup) and a "Start in" page (gaming mode or
|
|
desktop) after the Desktop page; check `/var/log/steamify-install.log`
|
|
for the skipped items and the boot choice. If Calamares doesn't expand
|
|
`${gs[...]}` in shellprocess, the log shows "Unknown item: ${gs[...".
|
|
2. **Check the live name** 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**: `feat/defaults-mode` (2.6.0, `b948c20`) in
|
|
steamify-cachyos, pushed, no PR yet (checked 2026-09-27: not on main,
|
|
newest release v2.5.2). Ready: open it; the user
|
|
merges (never commit to main). The ISO's first-login step needs 2.6.0
|
|
released.
|
|
4. **Test on the real Steam Machine** from a USB stick (gamescope, LEDs, CEC,
|
|
power-off) before calling the ISO usable.
|
|
|
|
## Done
|
|
|
|
- **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
|
|
|
|
- **Checkboxes instead of the leave-out list**: Calamares has no ready
|
|
checkbox page whose ticks come out as plain ids (netinstall's are package
|
|
installs); it would take a QML page (packagechooserq) or a small C++
|
|
module. Steamify's side (`--skip`, `--boot`) stays the same.
|
|
- **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.
|
