1.9.6 / 1.9.7 - Chaotic-AUR, Hastebin paste of installer log, select DNS resolver, GNOME autologin enable or disable

[a0xz]

Chaotic-AUR

• New ARCH_OS_CHAOTIC_AUR_ENABLED and Feature Setup prompt.
• After multilib: import signing key 3056513887B78AEB, install chaotic-keyring and chaotic-mirrorlist from cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx, append [chaotic-aur] to pacman.conf, sync. Core preset disables it.

Hastebin (installation logs)

• ARCH_OS_LOG_HASTEBIN_ENABLED: POST combined installer.log + installer.conf to Hastebin-compatible API (default base URL https://hastebin.com).
• ARCH_OS_LOG_CLEANUP_AFTER_HASTEBIN_ENABLED: remove local installer.conf / installer.log / installer.log.old and copies under /mnt/home/$USER after a successful upload only. Optional ARCH_OS_HASTEBIN_BASE_URL override.

DNS

• ARCH_OS_DNS_PROFILE: default (DHCP), cloudflare, google, quad9, adguard, opendns, mullvad. Configures NetworkManager (dns=systemd-resolved), enables systemd-resolved, stub resolv.conf, optional resolved.conf.d drop-in with IPv4/IPv6 where applicable. Core preset: default; desktop: cloudflare.

GNOME

• ARCH_OS_GNOME_AUTOLOGIN_ENABLED: GDM custom.conf writes AutomaticLogin only when true; otherwise AutomaticLoginEnable=False. Desktop preset keeps autologin enabled; core disables. Unset in installer.conf defaults to true for backward compatibility.

Version: 1.9.6

installer: internationalization (en, pt, ru, es, zh, ar) — v1.9.7
Add a dedicated lang/ directory and bash-based UI translation layer:

• lang/i18n.sh: INSTALLER_LANG_DIR, i18n_load(), t() / tf() for static and
  printf-style strings, i18n_apply_lang_from_env_or_conf() to read
  ARCH_OS_INSTALLER_LANG from the environment or installer.conf before the
  first TUI screen.
• lang/en.sh: full English string catalog (default + fallback).
• lang/pt.sh, ru.sh, es.sh, zh.sh (Simplified Chinese), ar.sh (Arabic):
  complete parallel catalogs for all UI keys.

User-facing flow:

• On startup, if ARCH_OS_INSTALLER_LANG is unset, load en temporarily and
  prompt once with gum_choose for installer language (native labels per
  language).
• Persist ARCH_OS_INSTALLER_LANG in installer.conf via properties_generate;
  properties_source reapplies i18n_load after sourcing so reloading a saved
  config restores the UI language.
• Export ARCH_OS_INSTALLER_LANG=en|pt|ru|es|zh|ar to skip the language menu
  (e.g. automation).

installer.sh changes:

• Define SCRIPT_DIR and source lang/i18n.sh.
• Replace gum titles, confirms, properties, presets, DNS options, Hastebin
  prompts, process step names, init failure messages, trap/exit strings,
  gum download errors, print_header welcome line, gum_filter placeholder,
  and related text with t() / tf() lookups.
• gum_init: when downloading gum, call i18n_load so early messages use the
  selected or default language.
• Fix preset path when installer.conf does not exist: call properties_generate
  after preset selection instead of properties_source (file was missing).

@murkl, you can review this?

@a0xz Thanks for your contribution and for opening the merge request. I really appreciate your effort and the time you’ve put into this.

Unfortunately, I’m currently tied up with other priorities and won’t be able to review your MR in the near future. I’ll make sure to get back to it as soon as I can, but I can’t give you a specific timeline right now.

Hello, thank you! I appreciate that, I will soon send a new PR to include the installation of the kernel that the user wants.
