Error installing in VirtualBox

Install fails in Virtualbox when it comes to installing VirtualBox-GuestAdditions.
It tries to install VirtualBox-GuestAdditions-7.0.10-6.5.9 whereas the version of my VirtualBox is 7.0.14 r161095
So 7.0.10 is not the expected version 7.0.14.
Here are the logs of the install :

Here are the log of another attempt : https://termbin.com/j3iv

Disk partition layout has unused space at the start and end

When automatic partitioning is used, there is 2.1MB of free space at the start and end of the disk.

User setting after first reboot?

Would it be possible to install without setting the user (name/password) at first and only ask for user settings after the first reboot? (maybe setting a default user at install if needed y the installation process and then after reboot, change name and password of this default user).
That would allow to make computers ready to be used in advance and make the (new) user have only one step to make : setting his own credential before using the computer.

Modify Firefox installation to ease Firefox's Gnome extension and FIrefox's GSconnect extension installation

Hello,

In order to install https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration and https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/gsconnect/ and make them working, we need to install firefox this way :

programs.firefox = {
   enable = true;
   package = pkgs.firefox;
   nativeMessagingHosts.packages = with pkgs; [
     browserpass
     gnomeExtensions.gsconnect
   ];
 };

instead of, as coded here, https://github.com/snowfallorg/icicle/blob/8e3776886fa391473d9c5421a7334d04638cb75f/src/utils/install.rs#L557-L560C7 :

    # List packages installed in system profile.
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    firefox
  ];

Of course, gnomeExtensions.gsconnect should not be added at installation time thanks to icicle but should be added by the gsconnect module as I explain in my researches here : snowfallorg/snowflakeos-modules#4

However, to make it easy for the gsconnect module to do so, it would be better if icicle was installing Firefox like that

programs.firefox = {
   enable = true;
   package = pkgs.firefox;
   nativeMessagingHosts.packages = with pkgs; [
     browserpass
   ];
 };

instead of how it is coded in https://github.com/snowfallorg/icicle/blob/8e3776886fa391473d9c5421a7334d04638cb75f/src/utils/install.rs#L557-L560C7

I'm pretty sure it is a good thing to enable nativeMessagingHosts.packages.browserpass at installation time because Gnome user would expect to be able to use https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration right after installation time.

I even wonder if this firefox extension should not be installed by default during installation time thanks to icicle. If I understand what is written here, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-with-extensions , it would require to download the last version from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/gnome-shell-integration/latest.xpi, rename it to [email protected] (the add-on ID found in here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-browser-extension/-/blob/master/extension/manifest.firefox.json) and place it into the <firefox installation folder>/distribution/extensions/ folder.

DIsk encryption

I couldn't find an easy way to encrypt the disk at install.
Is it plan?

Wrong translation license?

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/snowflakeos/icicle/#information is GPLv3-only,
but I don't see a purpose in specifying this limitation when the source repo doesn't.
Going GPLv3-or-later (GPLv3+) allows deciding whether any newer version of the license is better once released.
