Pop!_OS ISO production

Pop!_OS ISO production

This repository contains the tools necessary for building Pop!_OS ISOs.

Requirements

First you need to import the Pop!_OS ISO signing key:

gpg --recv-keys 204DD8AEC33A7AFF

Then you need to generate your own GPG key and upload it to a keyserver:

gpg --full-gen-key
gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com ${YOUR_KEY_ID_HERE}

While you are waiting for your key to be uploaded, install the dependencies:

./deps.sh

Building

The build is controlled by the Makefile. The following commands can be used:

• make - Build an ISO at build/17.10/pop-os.iso
• make qemu_bios - Run the ISO in BIOS mode
• make qemu_uefi - Run the ISO in UEFI mode
• make clean - Remove the build files, keeping the debootstrap
• make distclean - Remove the debootstrap and other build files

The configuration can be changed in mk/config.mk.

To rebuild the ISO when you have made changes, you can use make clean && make

iso's Issues

Possible Bug: /etc/os-release may make configuration tools fail to function properly

The file /etc/os-release has been edited to read "Pop_OS". While I certainly understand why you did this, you should also keep in mind this will most likely break configuration tools such as Ansible/Puppet/Chef, as they are not configured to recognize Pop_OS.

For reference, other spins of Ubuntu (Xubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, etc) do NOT edit this file. This file should only be edited if you are making your own distribution completely (not using Ubuntu's base, and being completely separate similar to Solus).

It's my strong recommendation to not configure this file, as it will only cause challenges to your developer customers that rely on configuring their machines with DevOps tools.

How can i install it

How can i install it to my existing ubuntu gnome installation?

Feature Request: Pop! Desktop

Menu in Totem, Even Visible in Fullscreen

See below:

This is Fullscreen:

Apologies for the lack of content on screen, using Wayland.

Install a restore partition by default

With Steam OS if something breaks there's an option at boot to boot a different partition which will fix the operating system without having to do a complete reinstall, and keeps your data intact.

Package Request: Ship Node.js LTS

It's a little ridiculous that Ubuntu/Debian aren't shipping the Node.js LTS. Which means if you install the "nodejs" package from the repo, you are not going to be compatible with a variety of modern Node libraries.

I propose that we make the Node.js LTS available in Pop!_OS

Feature request: Plotinus

Pop aims to be a developer-focused distro. Developers love doing stuff with their keyboard. Plotinus is a modern approach to keyboard interaction that brings a searchable command palette to every GTK+ 3 application. It supports all GNOME core apps, as well as many others such as LibreOffice and the upcoming GTK3 builds of Inkscape and GIMP. It does not require any modifications to these apps in order to work.

In my (highly biased) opinion, Plotinus offers a keyboard interface that is in many ways superior to classic keyboard shortcuts. It is unobtrusive and only appears when needed, and it would be a nice differentiation factor for a Linux desktop to have.

I therefore propose to ship and enable Plotinus by default in Pop!_OS. This was actually suggested by @ryanleesipes himself in a recent interview with LifeOnLinux (thanks Ryan!). Since then, Plotinus has gained per-application configurability and a powerful D-Bus API for integration with other software. I now consider Plotinus to be feature complete and am not aware of any major remaining bugs. In other words, I believe it is quite ready to become a default component of Pop.

Feature Request: Install and activate Synapse by default

Feature request: Install Synapse by default and have it automatically come up at boot. This allows you to launch applications and open files quickly, by pressing CTRL+Space, you can bring up a menu to search content faster than the GNOME shell.

Feature Request: Find my 76!(iCloud like Find My Device Feature)

I was thinking what I have on my MBP that I would be giving up if I got rid of MacOS. Only thing that came to mind was Find my iPhone, iPad, Mac.

I would appreciate if there was feature like this to locate a laptop that was lost or stolen. Option to remotely erase the data.

Issue/Bug Description

I'm currently unable to add a web calendar to GNOME Calendar if said calendar url starts with webcal://.

Steps to reproduce (if you know)

1. Open GNOME Calendar
2. On the top right corner press manage your calendars
3. Press Calendar settings
4. On the Calendars section, press Add -> From Web...
5. Insert a webcal:// url and press enter (For a webcal example go to Facebook -> Events and there should be 2 links on the right bottom column for future events and anniversaries)
6. After pressing Enter a loading bar starts to spin and never ends. No erros, the Add option remains disabled, nothings happens afterwards.

Expected behaviour

After step 5 previously described the loading bar should disappear and the Add button should be enabled for the user to click, therefore allowing the addition of the calendar.

Other Notes

I found a work around by installing Evolution and adding the calendar there, it would appear in GNOME Calendar.

Make Pop a Truly Free (as in free speech) Distro

Will Pop OS be a freedom-respecting OS recommended by the FSF (fsf.org)? Will there be an option to offer freedom-respecting versions of the OS?

I say that there should be a version of the OS that is like Trisquel (trisquel.info). Trisquel is a GNU/Linux distro based off of Ubuntu that removes all non-free drivers and software from it. The FSF endorses it and its a truly freedom respecting platform.

In fact, Trisquel is even on Github. Maybe use it to make Pop: https://github.com/trisquelgnulinux/trisquel-packages

"Powerwash" -> Erase Everything, get Fresh Install

Feature Request

ChromeOS has a feature called "Powerwash" that erases all user information on the machine and gives you what is essentially a fresh install. I'm hoping with the Initial User Setup we could do something like this that involves just erasing existing users and boom, you're back at setup. As far as what to do with existing data, I'm not sure. But we could call it NIFS (Nuke it from Space). ;)

Theme GDM

GDM Doesn't currently support loading any GNOME shell extensions, which prevents loading the Pop GNOME Shell theme on the login screen. It should allow for loading User Themes, which will allow the login screen to be themed.

Feature request: Use Tilix as default terminal

Feature request/recommendation:

If this distribution intends on differentiating itself from Ubuntu GNOME, you may want to consider the Tilix terminal emulator. It has features beyond GNOME terminal, and is a much more modern experience.

Issue/Bug Description

After not using my pc for a bit and it showing the lock screen, when I try logging in to my account it sometimes breaks the Shell.

In this case breaking means that the extensions are not loaded or I'm placed back at the login screen and logout of my account.

Steps to reproduce (if you know)

1. Let the computer lock
2. Login
3. Sometimes it shows up with no extensions loaded.

Expected behaviour

At step 3 it should always load correctly. (I know this not very helpful)

Other Notes

I think there is a bug report on this for Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.

List of active extensions:

• Alternatetab
• Appfolders management extension
• Better Volume indicator
• Dash to dock
• Freon
• Native window placement
• Places status indicator

• Sound input & output device chooser
• Suspend button
• Topicons plus
• User Themes
• Cpufreq

Bug: Installation doesn't ask to set host name

It's important to be able to set a host name for the machine during installation, or at least during the first run wizard that comes up. Unfortunately, this is never prompted for.

Include nvidia driver in the iso

I downloaded the Pop iso from the System76 website and installed it on an 8GB USB 2.0 drive. I then attempted to boot to it from my UEFI on my non-System76 desktop. Everything worked fine until I got to the try or install screen.

After I pressed enter, the screen went black for a couple of seconds, and instead of loading, I got the following error:

nouveau 0000:03:00.0: bus: MMIO write of 800000e6 FAULT at 10eb14 [ IBUS ]

The next time I booted, I added the option modprobe.blacklist=nouveau to exclude the nouveau driver, and the boot worked fine.

On a probably separate note, I then installed on a 500GB HDD (freshly formatted) and when I try to boot to the 500GB drive, I only get a black screen with a blinking cursor (doesn't even load GRUB).

System Information:
Intel Core i7 4820K @ 3.7 GHz
nVidia GTX 970 (EVGA SC)
16 GB DDR3 memory
500GB Western Digital Blue

Edit: I was able to boot to a Linux Mint 18 livecd on the same flash drive. Install also worked, but nouveau was disabled on both the livecd and the installation (defaulted to software rendering). Proprietary driver works fine.

Font too large when entering encryption key

Reporter info
TheMonologueGuy

 * Distribution - Pop OS 17.04
 * Related Application and/or Package Version - LUKS encryption

Actual issue
The encryption works fine, however the font is a bit too large when entering the key.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)
enable encryption of hard drive during setup.
When the computer boots, you'll be prompted with the key. You'll notice the hidden font is a bit big.

Need a Default Email Client

Reporter info
TheMonologueGuy

 * Distribution - Pop OS 17.04
 * Related Application and/or Package Version - email client

Actual issue
There appears to be no preloaded email client for Pop. It might be beneficial to include one that can easily integrate with the Online Accounts step during initial setup.

Other Note (feature-request, question, etc...)
I typically use Thunderbird, however Geary's looking quite nice in Pop.

TOR as VPN Option

Feature Request

I think to offer TOR as an OOTB VPN option in the networking/privacy settings would be really powerful and a great differentiator. With a focus on encryption already with the distribution, this would allow us to set Pop apart as a leader in privacy and security. I know that some people have set up transparent proxies in the past to accomplish this, I'm not really certain as to what the best way to accomplish this now is.

System Menu > Bluetooth and Location disappear from the menu when disabled

They should remain in the menu with the option to enable.

For Bluetooth "Turn On" and for Location "Enable" to match the corresponding disable language.

Currently, you must go to Settings > Privacy or Settings > Bluetooth to re-enable them.

Feature Request: Geany as default text editor

Gedit is nice, but Geany is a great text editor that should be considered as the default. It has a lot of great developer tools (such as running/compling code by simply pressing F5) and the interface can be configured to make it cleaner by default (for example, hiding the status pane on the bottom by default, as well as the side panel if you wish to make it take less screen real estate). I think the added features will benefit developers quite a bit.

Bug/Feature Request: disk encryption has no UI

Reporter info

 * Ubuntu 17.04 zesty

Actual issue

Disk encryption has no UI, forcing it into a blank terminal to enter the key, followed by more GRUB and Kernel decryption jabber that beginners may not like.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)

Enable disk encryption on install.

Expected behaviour

NO IDEA.

Other Note (feature-request, question, etc...)

Up to you how it is. Just don't make me crazy like the Ubuntu one.

Keep it simple.

No way to go back when you click to set up an enterprise account.

Reporter info

 * Distribution - Ubuntu 17.04
 * Related Application and/or Package Version - apt policy $PACKAGE NAME

Actual issue
When you are setting up your account, there is an button to set up an enterprise account. (or something like that) Clicking the button takes you to the page, but you can't go back to setting up a regular account without rebooting.

I'm not sure if that makes sense?

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)
Click that button.

Expected behaviour
When I click the back button it should take me to the regular accounts page instead of the slide before your chose to set it up.

Actual issue

The battery icon takes a very long time to change its look to indicate how much battery is left. It took between 30 minutes and 45 minutes before the battery icon indicated it was down to around halfway.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)
Unplug laptop (System76 Gazp9) and allow battery to drain. The icon does not seem to keep up with the draining (reproduced multiple times, but not consistent)

Expected behaviour
This icon should "drain" with the battery percentage to indicate to the user how much is left at a quick glance.

Actual issue
Bluetooth can be disabled easily, however it doesn't retain the setting when the system is restarted.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)
Disable Bluetooth
Restart or power cycle device

Expected behaviour
I was expecting Bluetooth to remain disabled, especially since I installed tlp-drw along with tlp. With these packages, the function works on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Other Note (feature-request, question, etc...)

Bug: Ubiquity: Time zone/location requested twice

During installation, the installer asks you to select your location for the time zone. This is prompted for again after installation, during the first launch utility that comes up. This seems redundant and I'm assuming this wasn't intended.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)
Install newest version of wine(2.11). Open winecfg and under staging you enable GTK theming. Now install 1Password. When it opens up, the file menu is all white. If you hover over the options the text is black like it should be.

Expected behaviour
The text in the file menu should be black since the background is white

Other Note (feature-request, question, etc...)
In the chrome Linux version, the 1password dropdown from the extension does the same thing. Maybe this is all on 1Password?

Desktop icon as a first class citizen feature

The new GNOME philosophy doesn't contemplate the desktop view (desktop icons) as a desirable feature, presenting a clean desktop by default, however, over time they have neglected this feature that provides by nautilus, creating a separate process for this and not considering new improvements, manifesting their disinterests in gnome bugzilla.

However, for many users desktop view is an important element of their workflow, being a very sought after and maintained feature in operating systems such as macOS, Windows or desktop environments such as KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, MATE and Unity. At the moment only has been discussed separate this feature of Nautilus and to create an extension. Considering the previous thing, it would be very good that in the custom desktop of Pop! _OS this feature would be included by default offering functions of a modern OS.

Feature Request: Provide dash to dock extension

Many users expect a computer to work with the ever same principle, with an application menu and a taskbar or some kind of dock.
This is why I think it's important to include the Dash to Dock extension, which can then be enabled through the GNOME Tweaks tool.
It basically allows one to let the sidebar in the activities menu behave like a dock.

Side note:
For easy installation of shell addons from https://extensions.gnome.org/, it's also important to provide the GNOME Shell integration browser extension in firefox.

Provide issue template

If we're expecting people to file wide-ranging reports to this repo, it might be useful to provide an issue template to steer them in the right direction.

Clarify the scope of the project

Pop!_OS is being reported on Reddit and Phoronix as a "distro". And the name of the project here on GitHub is "pop-distro". But the README refers to it as a spin.

It would be helpful to clarify the scope and aim of the project, as well as how much interoperability should be expected with mainline Ubuntu, and whether (and/or how much) Pop!_OS will be supported on non-System76 hardware.

Thank you.

Issue/Bug Description

When installing Unreal Engine, their script runs into a problem when trying to run source /etc/os-release, which doesn't happen on Ubuntu 16.10.

The error returned is ubuntu: command not found.

Steps to reproduce (if you know)

Running the following gives you an error.

$ source /etc/os-release
ubuntu: command not found

Expected behaviour

While in the script the command would populate variables like ID and ID_LIKE that are needed for Unreal Engine.

Memory Use is Too High

Pop!_OS 17.04

Issue/Bug Description
Memory usage is high compared to other GNOME based distros. Appears related to theming.

Steps to reproduce (if you know)
From internal testing at System76 - Pop!_OS does legitimately use 1.4G where Ubuntu uses 1.0G of memory at idle. Switching back to the Adwaita lowers the memory.

Expected behaviour
Use equivalent or lower memory than other GNOME based distributions.

Actual issue
I am using zsh in the terminal and I am using a zsh plugin called zsh-autosuggestions. When typing a previous command again, it will show you a possible match to your history. This text color is a lighter color. In the below screenshots you will see what it looks like. Then if I highlight the area, you see there is more text.

But there is more text that is not visible

Maybe this has to do with the plugin itself but not sure.

Steps to reproduce (if you knew)

• Install ZSH
• Install plugin zsh-autosuggestions
• reload the terminal
• Start typing something that is in your zsh history and see the possible command it should be

Expected behaviour

I should be able to see the text

Ship GNOME MPV as default Video Player

I would like to point out that I went ahead and tried MPV 3.24 and we should take it under consideration for shipping by default. It is really great and respects all the GNOME-isms we've grown so fond of. ;)

Also works with Wayland properly for screenshots ^

Add theme to integrate QT applications

This is something that already does GNOME with adwaita-qt and the idea is that the QT applications used in Pop! _OS look the same as the GTK + applications using pop-gtk- theme.

Feature request: Software Boutique

I think that the Software Boutique would be a wonderful addition to this distribution. Although Software Boutique is currently specific to Ubuntu MATE, it's being redesigned to not have any requirements on Ubuntu MATE and to instead be completely independent. It's also going to be given features to install any Debian package normally in the repositories, even if it's not featured in the Software Boutique. Once this conversion is finished, you should only need to install the Software Boutique.

This new version of Software Boutique is targeting 17.10, which is also what Pop is targeting. I think this should come up by default during the first run wizard. A welcome screen would be a great asset.
