Wrapping text to 80 characters works but due to font size and padding
the maximum 80 character lines start to get truncated. Extending the
window to 90 characters will resolve this.
While the whiptail program wraps text appropriately based on column
size, the fbwhiptail program doesn't, leading to text that scrolls off
the window where it can no longer be read. This change wraps the longer
text output so it all fits.
Since fbwhiptail allows us to customize the background colors, we should
colorize warnings and error messages to provide a user with an
additional subtle cue that there might be a problem. I have added two
additional configuration options:
CONFIG_WARNING_BG_COLOR
CONFIG_ERROR_BG_COLOR
and in the librem13v2.config file you can see an example for how to set
them to be yellow and red gradients, respectively. I've also updated the
main two scripts that use whiptail to include those background colors.
If you decide to use regular whiptail, just don't set these config
options and it should behave as expected.
When a user gets confirmation of their boot menu choice, that's largely
to give them the option of making their boot choice the default. In the
case of "force mode" there's no reason for the user to be presented with
that dialog so this change skips right ahead to the boot once they have
In the event a user does pick the insecure "force" boot option that
bypasses checksum and signing checks in Heads, it would be nice to
provide a clear visual warning during the boot process that they are in
this state. This change will add a kernel argument that changes the boot
console background to be red and removes any boot splash that might
obscure it, in the event the user picks the insecure boot mode.
Since a user should only boot into this mode during emergencies, having
it be apparent that it's an unsafe mode helps ensure the user doesn't
pick this boot option needlessly.
Currently when the boot entries change, kexec-select-boot dies. Given
the normal loop is set up to catch this event and display a regular boot
menu at the next iteration of the loop, instead of dying it would be
better to just warn and then return from that function back into the
main loop. In addition to that I added a GUI menu for the same warning
when in GUI mode.
