bba5cd63e81a491c28eddc14e4087ba179794a3c gui: installer: convey registering on a signing device isn't always required (Antoine Poinsot) Pull request description: As discussed in #545, in some cases we nudge the user to register the descriptor on their signing device although they might not have one. Those cases only ever arise when importing a descriptor (either when recovering from backup or participating in the creation of a descriptor on another laptop), since when the descriptor is created beforehand we can simply detect whether a signing device was used and thereby needs to be registered (implemented since https://github.com/wizardsardine/liana/pull/470). Therefore, detect when the registration step arises as part of an import process and if so adjust the language to convey registration on a signing device may not be necessary. Result:  Fixes #545.

Liana GUI
The Liana graphical interface.
Dependencies
You will need a few dependencies in order to run correctly this software. For Linux systems, those are:
fontconfigfor access to fonts (On Debian/Ubuntuapt install libfontconfig1-dev)libudev-devto communicate with devices through USB (On Debian/Ubuntuapt install libudev-dev)
In addition, if you want to build the project from source, you will need:
pkg-config(On Debian/Ubuntuapt install pkg-config)
Usage
For a quick guide to try out the software see ../doc/TRY.md.
liana-gui --datadir <datadir> --<network>
The default datadir is the same as for lianad (~/.liana for Linux). The default network is
Bitcoin mainnet, but testnet signet and regtest are supported.
If the software is started with no parameter and no data directory is detected, a Liana installer will be spawned that will guide you in the processing of configuring Liana.
If the software is started and a reachable lianad is running, it will plug to it via lianad's
JSONRPC interface.
Troubleshooting
- If you encounter layout issue on
X11, try to start the GUI withWINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTORmanually set to 1
