[REQUEST] Please update this unique tool!

Thank you for offering help in the development! I understand there are a couple things to change in the script, but I hardly remember how my script works haha. I only used Google searches to complete it. Anyway, While still being an experienced noob, I plan to rework it with the following features:

• use ncurses Dialog for a friendlier experience. Archfi and Void Linux both uses ncurses Dialog and I like how it looks, so I will be implementing them here. Learning will take some time...
• Make the script more organized. This will help in readability and maintainability. I'll probably split the installation stages and the list of packages to install into different scripts.
• Make Pantheon actually work. The current version doesn't work well at all even in a virtual machine. TeArch managed to do it...
• Rework README.md. Will show an about section and an installation section only. Other information will be stated in the script before proceeding.

That's all I can think of right now. What you need to know right now is that they are working on making Pantheon distro-agnostic and they seem to be halfway there! That means they will make it easier for people on other distros to install Pantheon. I don't know if this script will still be necessary when they complete it. I'll still work on HADRIAN as a fun project.

* **use [ncurses Dialog](https://www.filebuzz.com/software_screenshot/full/mybashburn-448351.jpeg) for a friendlier experience.** Archfi and Void Linux both uses ncurses Dialog and I like how it looks, so I will be implementing them here. Learning will take some time...

* **Option for an automatic installation.** This option will install Pantheon without any customization.

* **Make the script more organized.** This will help in readability and maintainability. I'll probably split the installation stages and the list of packages to install into different scripts.

* **Make Pantheon actually work.** The current version doesn't work well at all even in a virtual machine. _TeArch_ managed to do it...

* **Rework README.md.** Will show an about section and an installation section only. Other information will be stated in the script before proceeding.

Yes. They do a great job but i like vanilla arch. Without bloat! But i can live with this!

Haha thanks! The next branch seem to be working well (apart from a few issues out of my reach) and can be merged with main. This issue is also good and done. Enjoy!

Hello! I wasn't expecting someone to open an issue here. I will likely rework HADRIAN this week, but I haven't touched any Arch-based distros or made a bash script in quite a while so it might take some time. The current version was only tested on a virtual machine and I don't have any idea what issues will come up when it is used on real hardware.

It's working fine and pantheon look perfect synced

What do you mean by this? Did you test it out on a VM or a real installation, and did it work perfectly?

On the TeArch distro pantheon works fine. Including the selection of wallpapers. I like but there's a lot of unnecessary stuff. Like intel ucode (i'm using amd)... I know how to uninstall but i like the vanilla arch build... and with your script it can be perfect for me!

In your script you have to update some things (I'm super newbie, not that I know how to do it!) But plank was changed to io.elementary.dock, and some things that I think should be adjusted more!

I hope to see something of yours soon !! I love arch, but I also like pantheon! If you need to test something on real hardware. Here I am!

[shnflrsc]

The new version in the next branch is now ready for testing! The only problems I have no idea how to fix for now is that Wingpanel crashes in the login screen and the background color is black. I would like to know if that problem also occurs in real hardware, so you can open another issue for any problems you encounter.

Also, making an automatic installation script will be trickier than I thought. I'm combining all these scripts and all that could go wrong into one single script, so I may cancel that part.

[linuxmobile]

ombining all these scri

Ok. i will try in few hours! i'm working now!!! but let me check later!!!

Maybe it can help you. They rewritten some packages https://github.com/tearch-linux/pantheon_repo

Hi. This was fixed installing pantheon-notifications. Everything is working fine! I need to check all stuff. But looks fine. I already try with Virtualbox. But now I will try in real hardware

[shnflrsc]

That's great! How was the experience in real hardware?

it's working fine. Lightdm start weird.. but with some tweaks you can change the theme and looks nice...

• mouse and trackpad settings don't work.
• sometimes when i want to change desktop wallpaper it freeze and i can do anything. I need to reboot (i don't take any log about that)
• Then.. everything is working fine!! only 650 packages. 500mb ram at boot! This is really cool!

You need to add pantheon-notifications and switchboard-plug-pantheon-tweaks to the script!

[shnflrsc]

mouse and trackpad settings don't work.

Do you mean multi-touch gestures? They worked with the developer of Touchégg to integrate it into Vala. I can't test if Touchégg will work on its own on Arch Linux with Pantheon because I don't have a laptop..

That's pretty weird. I thought it only happens in the virtual machine, I will have to look into it. (but It may be a problem with switchboard itself, we'll see.)

You need to add pantheon-notifications and switchboard-plug-pantheon-tweaks to the script!

I added pantheon-notifications to Pantheon Base and a new Pantheon Tweaks option in the latest commit, thanks for suggesting that!

No. I mean I can't setup my mouse or any trackpad. The options seems to be broken! When I click under settings/mouse/ settings app crash and close!

[shnflrsc]

This seems to be happening because the org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse schema is deprecated which Switchboard uses. The package gsettings-desktop-schemas provides it in previous versions but right now it is incompatible. Well, TeArch Linux has a package for that, but I'm afraid of stealing work 😬

Yeah. Dont worry it's a little bug into the good work you do! People can live with it! Kang is bad haha
