Final Fixes

  • Fixes post-install reboot falling back into ISO GRUB by adding installed-system auto handoff when /etc/ming-release is found.
  • Adds ming-finish-install-reboot to prefer the installed Ming OS UEFI entry, eject live media, and reboot cleanly.
  • Keeps Calamares on the simplified install flow without visible locale/keyboard/users pages and without users or displaymanager execution modules.
  • Keeps the phone-style desktop as a true desktop layer with watchdog readiness before xfdesktop is stopped.
  • Keeps 11 core desktop entries only, with Chinese labels and launch fallbacks.
  • Restores bottom Ming Dock watchdog startup and validates phone desktop/Dock autostart entries from the final ISO.
  • Pins NetworkManager to wpa_supplicant for older Wi-Fi compatibility and ships wmctrl for desktop layer state control.

Validation

  • Built ISO: output/ming-os-26.3.1-home-amd64.iso.
  • git diff --check, bash -n build_onion_os.sh resume_build.sh modules/*.sh, and Python compilation passed.
  • Final ISO extracted and checked from filesystem.squashfs.
  • Calamares settings confirmed: show only welcome/partition/summary/finished; no users/displaymanager/bootloader execution modules.
  • ISO GRUB confirmed: BIOS + UEFI El Torito images, installed-system handoff, direct /vmlinuz and /initrd.img boot path.
  • Desktop launcher count confirmed: 11.
  • ming-phone-desktop, ming-phone-desktop-watchdog, ming-dock, ming-update, wmctrl, wpa_supplicant, and ming-release confirmed inside the final squashfs.

Note: the official download and OTA server now return this exact size and checksum. The recommended complete ISO URL uses the .download compatibility path to avoid stale CDN cache on the bare .iso path.
