- Resolved Firefox installation conflict: the "both" selection no longer triggers duplicate dialogs or cancellation; the installer now passes the resolved choice to both Mozilla and ESR installers, preserving co-installation without redundant prompts.
- Fixed bugs across Debian 11/12/13 scripts:
- Migrated `migrate.sh` to write classic `.sources` format for Debian 11 and skip the security stanza for SID.
- Corrected non-free token matching in `firmware.sh` to avoid false positives on non-free-firmware-only systems.
- Added `sudo` to `broadcom-combo.conf` creation and fixed `/etc/modprobe.d` directory handling.
- Fixed write propagation in `repos.sh` to prevent silent failures on user rejection.
- Corrected PipeWire state detection for Debian 11 and added SID security stanza exclusion.
- Added LXDE desktop environment option to `debianito.sh`:
- New "LXDE (Full)" and "LXDE Core" options in the Desktop Environment menu.
- Both options install `lightdm` in a single `apt-get install` call and enable the service via `systemctl enable`.
- Includes debconf preseed for LightDM default display manager selection.
- No extra packages, no Openbox/LXDE configuration changes.
- Added `_radiolist()` helper to `utils.sh` for safe radio-list cancellation under `set -e`.
- Added `lxde_menu()` to `desktop_display.sh` with exact 2-option radio list, single-shot dispatch, and clean `return 0` on cancel.
- Added `_install_lxde_full()` and `_install_lxde_core()` with `debconf-set-selections`, single `apt` call, and `systemctl enable lightdm` post-install.
- Enhanced repository detection logic in `modules/repos/repo_detect.sh`. Implemented `has_active_deb_sources()` for content-aware scanning across `sources.list`, `*.list`, and `*.sources` files. Empty or comment-only files are now correctly identified as "none" to trigger bootstrapping.
- Enforced Debian 13 (Trixie) specific logic in `detect_repo_format()`. Deb822 format is only applied when `debian.sources` is active; Bookworm and Bullseye systems default strictly to classic sources.list regardless of file presence.
- Added state guard against mixed configuration formats (deb822 + classic active simultaneously) with a warning prompt before writing, preventing duplicate entries in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.
- Rewrote `_repos_enable_components()` in `modules/repos.sh` to remove early returns when components are already enabled. The script now verifies and ensures security and updates sections exist/were written correctly if missing or different.
- Created new `bootstrap_repositories()` function for systems with no active sources. Includes user dialogue for format selection (Trixie) or auto-classic (older versions), backup/restore safety, and cleanup of empty sources.list files post-bootstrap.
- Fixed false success reporting in `modules/firmware.sh` and `gaming.sh`. Added pre-checks to ensure APT sources exist before attempting `sed -i` modifications; if sources are missing, the script now triggers a full repository bootstrap instead of silently failing.
- Implemented post-write verification in firmware/gaming modules to confirm components were actually added before reporting success to the user.
- Generalized backports detection in `modules/utils.sh` (`is_backports_enabled()`) to scan all `*.list` and `*.sources` files rather than relying on fixed canonical filenames.
- Corrected test harness variable expansion order and trimmed whitespace from component parsing logic during development verification.
- Normalized PCI ID case sensitivity in `_helpers.sh`. The `detect_nvidia_arch()` function now converts input to uppercase (`${1^^}`) to match legacy architecture map keys, resolving "unknown" detection for all NVIDIA GPUs.
- Removed silent fallback to standard drivers in `gpu.sh` Bookworm logic. Kepler and other architectures now invoke specific installation functions directly without defaulting to unsupported driver versions (e.g., 535).
- Corrected NVIDIA legacy package name in `nvidia.sh`. Updated `_install_nvidia_bookworm_kepler()` to use `nvidia-tesla-470-driver` instead of deprecated Bullseye naming conventions for Debian 12.
- Replaced specific kernel header references (`linux-headers-$(uname -r)`) with meta-package `linux-headers-amd64` in `firmware.sh`. Fixes DKMS installation failures for Broadcom/WiFi drivers across multiple Debian versions.
- LightDM Overhaul: Rewrote `install_lightdm()` logic to verify both lightdm and lightdm-gtk-gtk-greeter-settings. Now installs the trio in a single command if missing, skipping only when fully present. Added "Enable autologin" option modifying `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` with robust `sed` patterns for `SUDO_USER`. Fixed missing `debconf-set-selections` to ensure LightDM is set as default during installation.
- GDM3 Implementation: Created a new sub-menu in `modules/desktop_display.sh` allowing independent installation of GDM3, User List toggle (hide/show), Autologin configuration via `/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf`, and conditional "Force Enable Wayland on NVIDIA" for Debian 12/13 using udev symlinks.
- SDDM Integration: Added SDDM as option 3 in the Display Manager menu. Implemented automatic session detection (Wayland > X11) to populate `/etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf` without user input, defaulting to plasmawayland, lxqt-wayland, or generic fallbacks.
- greetd support: Added conditional support for Debian 12 and 13 only. Implemented sub-menu with base install, recommended `tuigreet` (with backports handling for Bookworm), and other manual setup options (`gtkgreet`, `nwg-hello`, `wlgreet`) exclusive to Trixie.
- ZRAM UX Improvements: Updated descriptions in `modules/zram.sh` to explicitly mention I/O reduction and responsiveness benefits for low-RAM systems (e.g., 4GB). Cleaned up compression algorithm labels (`lz4`, `zstd`) to remove redundancy in menu values.
- General Code Quality: Standardized all user-facing messages to English across modules. Ensured independent package installation checks prevent script abortion if one DM fails, while maintaining strict error handling for system configurations.
- update docs and readme
- Removed dead Broadcom hardware IDs (4357/4358/4360/4727) from `_is_broadcom_b43`, retaining only valid ID 4352 to eliminate false positives in the case statement.
- Added a guard in `_handle_wireless` Level 3 to verify `linux-headers` availability via `apt-cache policy`. Skips DKMS compilation if headers are missing, preventing transaction failures during installation.
- Implemented Broadcom combo card detection (WiFi + Bluetooth) by scanning `PCI_BT_DEVS`. Automatically writes `/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-combo.conf` with `softdep wl post: btusb` and warns users about potential reboot requirements.
- Enhanced Level 2 (`firmware-b43-installer`) with post-installation validation for `/lib/firmware/b43`. Provides clear recovery instructions via `sudo dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43-installer` if the directory is empty or missing after installation.
- Created a new helper `_msg_red()` in `utils.sh` to handle critical error messages with colored Whiptail output, replacing standard alerts for migration warnings and failures.
- Updated `repos/migrate.sh` to use `_msg_red()` for branch migration warnings and failure states, ensuring visibility of critical issues while keeping completion messages informative.
- Verified headless mode guards across 16 separate extras files (`office.sh`, `fetch.sh`, `cursors.sh`, etc.), preventing unnecessary package installations on servers without display environments.
- Completed syntax verification (`bash -n`) across all core and extra modules, ensuring no errors in the updated logic for firmware, gaming, swap, or repository management scripts.
- update readme.md
- Implemented global `_pause()` logic across all modules (`utils`, `gaming`, `firmware`, etc.), replacing hardcoded `read -p` calls to standardize exit pauses.
- Unified MangoHud installation into a single command (`apt install -y mangohud:i386`) for gaming and legacy branches.
- Refactored `_inst()` to return `*` instead of `(installed)`, moving the function globally to `utils.sh` and removing duplicates from helpers.
- Enhanced Broadcom WiFi detection with expanded grep patterns ('network controller', 'wireless', etc.) and ID fallback (`14e4`).
- Updated `_run_cmd` to integrate the new pause logic for consistent workflow interruptions during script execution.
- Bluetooth Package Cleanup: Replaced deprecated `bluez-utils` with `bluez-tools` in `modules/bluetooth.sh` and `modules/firmware.sh`. Ensures compatibility across all Debian versions.
- Maxwell GPU Detection: Added 4 ID blocks (`0x1340 – 0x17FF`, 480 IDs total). Captures missing cards: 980M/970M, Quadro M laptop, GTX 960/950, Quadro M2000, TITAN X, GTX 980 Ti, Quadro M6000, and Tesla M40.
- Pascal GPU Detection: Expanded 5 ID blocks (`0x15F0 – 0x1D7F`, 528 IDs total). Added support for TITAN Xp, GTX 1080 Ti, and Quadro P-series. Unified GP106/107 ranges and bounded end at `0x1D7F` to prevent Turing conflicts.
- Validation: Passed `bash -n` checks on all modified files. Confirmed zero ID collisions between Maxwell, Fermi, Kepler, and Pascal architectures.
- Created standalone modules/bluetooth.sh for `_install_bluetooth_stack()` with desktop-aware frontend selection (bluedevil/KDE, blueman/XFCE/other). Extracted from `firmware.sh`, reducing it from 438 to 369 lines.
- Added `detect_desktop_environment()` and `detect_audio_server()` functions in `utils.sh` with new globals `DESKTOP_ENV=""` and `AUDIO_SERVER=""`.
- New `found_active_wifi` flag detects Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 PCI chips without loaded firmware, displaying `(no driver — install firmware)` instead of silently disappearing. Auto-installs `firmware-atheros + firmware-linux-nonfree` after Firmware & Wireless Setup.
- New `is_nvidia_blackwell()` detects GPUs in ranges `0x2900–0x29BF` and `0x2B80–0x31FF`. Added `_enable_cuda_repo()` helper for extrepo-based CUDA installation with APT pinning. DKMS verification blocks added to all `_install_nvidia_*` functions.
- Standardized repository enablement across 7 modules using `_enable_*_repo()` helpers:
- `internet.sh`: Firefox/Floorp/LibreWolf, Pale Moon, Tailscale, Mullvad VPN/Browser, ProtonVPN
- `jellyfin.sh`, `programming.sh` (VSCodium), `java.sh` (Temurin)
- New `extras/office/office.sh`: OnlyOffice + LibreOffice with language detection
- The main script was reduced from 233 to 137 lines. Created new `modules/sysinfo.sh` (97 lines) for `_show_sysinfo()`. Source chain: `utils.sh → sysinfo.sh → sudo_config.sh → repos → firmware.sh → bluetooth.sh → gpu.sh → kernel.sh → gaming.sh → extras.sh → zram.sh → java.sh`.
- Renamed menu to `"Firmware, Wireless & Bluetooth"`. Translated NTP dialog (English), basic programs install message, and NVIDIA 32-bit legacy messages.
- Rewrote `modules/firmware.sh` with unified detection and installation flow, reducing user interactions from multiple prompts to single confirmation across all hardware types.
- Enhanced `_detect_all_network_devices()` to scan full PCI device lists without truncation (`head -n1` removed) and filter USB devices by keyword patterns (`wireless`, `wifi`, `802.11`, `bluetooth`, `wlan`) to eliminate false positives from card readers/Realtek audio devices.
- Implemented Broadcom 3-tier firmware strategy: Tier 1 (`brcmsmac`, 8 device IDs) auto-installs without extra confirmation; Tier 2 (`b43`/`b43legacy`, ranges 0x4301–0x4331) requires contrib package warnings; Tier 3 (`broadcom-sta-dkms`) needs DKMS compilation approval with explicit precedence handling for overlapping device ID ranges.
- Streamlined `modules/gpu.sh` flow from 169 to 154 lines, cutting user clicks from 4 (intro → proceed → plan → install) to 2 (plan → install), removing redundant intro message before plan display while preserving Intel/AMD firmware auto-installation and Mesa prompting logic.
- Added Bullseye compatibility hook in `modules/bullseye/extras.sh` (`type _handle_wireless &>/dev/null && _handle_wireless`) to ensure Broadcom wireless handling works correctly in Debian 11 environment with lazy detection fallback for empty PCI network devices.
- Fixed whiptail UI spacing issues in message paragraphs for improved readability and standardized dialog geometry across firmware/graphics dialogs.
- Replaced the fragile upstream script installer with native Deb822 repository injection and automated GPG keyring management in `jellyfin.sh`. Eliminated external dependencies, checksums, and interactive flags for guaranteed non-interactive support across Bullseye/Bookworm/Trixie.
- Upgraded the NVMe module (`modules/extras/system/system.sh`) to perform multi-drive scanning with dynamic `lsblk` parsing. Replaced single-disk detection logic with a `while read` loop to capture all devices, displaying formatted SMART health diagnostics (Critical Warning, Temperature, Percentage Used).
- Overhauled the 'System Information' TUI into a multi-device dashboard featuring standalone GPU/Driver hierarchies and dynamic storage mapping. Added new globals (`DISPLAY_SERVER`, `STORAGE_SUMMARY`) and comprehensive arrays for Network/Wi-Fi interface indexing in `modules/utils.sh`.
- Redesigned the graphics stack layout to fix multi-GPU text clipping and unified Mesa version prompting logic. Integrated post-install package telemetry to display live versions in the completion screen, separating planning visualization from installation decision points in `modules/gpu.sh`.
- Fixed non-free-firmware conceptual documentation bugs and expanded Backports descriptions with hardware-focused educational text. Added non-free repository safeguards for Trixie/Bullseye compatibility under "Firmware & Wireless Drivers".
- Refactored repository logic in modules/repos.sh to eliminate dead code (redundant default_text variables) and strict-hardcoded layout behaviors, standardizing dialog geometry to a clean matrix.
