Single-script builder (nosignal.sh) that turns a stock Arch Linux ISO into a fully-offline installer for a themed Hyprland + caelestia (Quickshell) desktop: matching SDDM greeter, Btrfs/Limine bootable snapshots, chwd-style GPU detection, and a curated "os updates" layer (keybind cheatsheet, settings panels, system polish, on-box management skill).

# update-prompts-fix — nosignal-update no longer "gets stuck" at yay menus
|
|
|
|
`nosignal-update` could appear to hang at yay's interactive menus.
|
|
|
|
## Symptom
|
|
|
|
Mid-`nosignal-update`, after the package list, the run appears to hang at:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
==> Packages to exclude: (eg: "1 2 3", "1-3", "^4" or repo name)
|
|
-> Excluding packages may cause partial upgrades and break systems
|
|
==>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is yay's interactive **upgrade menu** waiting for input (Enter
|
|
continues), but a bare `==>` after a wall of output reads as a hang —
|
|
the user already answered the only prompt they expected
|
|
(`Update NoSignal now? [y/N]`). Yay shows further menus when AUR packages
|
|
build (clean-build, diff), each another apparent stall.
|
|
|
|
## Fix
|
|
|
|
`patch-nosignal-update.sh` (idempotent, marker `answerupgrade`, backup at
|
|
`*.pre-menus-fix`, self-reverts if the regex misses) edits
|
|
`update_packages()` in the layer's `nosignal-update/bin/nosignal-update`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
local menus=""
|
|
[ "$HELPER" = yay ] && menus="--answerupgrade None --answerclean None --answerdiff None --answeredit None"
|
|
"$HELPER" -Syu $menus $nc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All four yay menus (upgrade-exclude, clean-build, diff, edit-PKGBUILD)
|
|
are pre-answered with `None`. Untouched: pacman's own
|
|
`Proceed with installation? [Y/n]` confirm (one meaningful confirmation
|
|
stays), `-y/--noconfirm` behaviour, and paru (no such menus).
|
|
|
|
For the builder this is a one-hunk edit to the layer source of
|
|
`nosignal-update` — fold it in directly; the patch script exists so the
|
|
migration can fix already-installed boxes.
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
1. `nosignal-update`, answer `y` → snapshot → package list → goes straight
|
|
to pacman's `Proceed with installation? [Y/n]` (no `==>` exclude
|
|
menu).
|
|
2. With an AUR upgrade pending (e.g. shelly-bin): no clean-build/diff
|
|
menus during the build.
|
|
3. `nosignal-update -y` still fully non-interactive.
|
|
|
|
No new keybinds; nothing to add to `NoSignal-keybindings.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
The patch is idempotent and `bash -n` clean. Flags verified against yay v12.6.0
|
|
(`--answerupgrade` et al. present in `yay --help`).
