Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for calamares fixes the following issues :

- Launch with 'pkexec calamares' in openSUSE Tumbleweed, but launch with 'xdg-su -c calamares' in openSUSE Leap 15.

Update to Calamares 3.2.15 :

- 'displaymanager' module now treats 'sysconfig' as a regular entry in the 'displaymanagers' list, and the 'sysconfigSetup' key is used as a shorthand to force only that entry in the list.

- 'machineid' module has been re-written in C++ and extended with a new configuration key to generate urandom pool data.

- 'unpackfs' now supports a special 'sourcefs' value of file for copying single files (optionally with renaming) or directory trees to the target system.

- 'unpackfs' now support an 'exclude' and 'excludeFile' setting for excluding particular files or patters from unpacking.

Update to Calamares 3.2.14 :

- 'locale' module no longer recognizes the legacy GeoIP configuration. This has been deprecated since Calamares 3.2.8 and is now removed.

- 'packagechooser' module can now be custom-labeled in the overall progress (left-hand column).

- 'displaymanager' module now recognizes KDE Plasma 5.17.

- 'displaymanager' module now can handle Wayland sessions and can detect sessions from their .desktop files.

- 'unpackfs' now has special handling for sourcefs setting “file”.

Update to Calamares 3.2.13.
