2023-08-15Fix broken support for Ventoy on UEFI computers Eric Hameleers3-2/+14
Changes in Slackware-current in March and May 2023 broke support for detection of Ventoy disk on UEFI computers. Liveslak's initrd needed to have efivarfs module added, so that /sys/firmware/efi/efivars can be mounted by the live init script. With kernel 6.x the content of what's found under efivars has changed - instead of being represented as a directory with the efi datastructures as files, liveslak now needs to deal with a single file instead and find the offset in there.
2023-08-08Make kdesu work again with sudo backend (using live password) Eric Hameleers1-0/+12
For kdesu to work with the sudo backend in KDE5 with newer versions of sudo (since 2022), we need to disable use_pty for kdesu. KDE5 fixed this in git on 04-aug-2023, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452532 but it does not hurt to implement the workaround in liveslak, as it helps to support older KDE releases. This is the KDE commit message, see https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kdesu/-/commit/732dd812d67c7fa62bd187c1171950ca85259b0b : Recent versions of sudo have use_pty enabled by default, which means that sudo creates a PTY for starting the user process inside after successful authentication. This PTY inherits the configuration of sudo's TTY, but later changes are not transferred. Make sure that echo is already disabled when sudo is started, as disabling it later has no effect on the nested PTY.

2023-06-04SLACKWARE: the fulll distro no longer fits on a DVD Eric Hameleers1-1/+3
Therefore, pruning starts for the SLACKWARE Live ISO. Too bad really. Removed are some packages that are relatively big and arbitrarily not used that much (quite a personal opinion of course).
2023-06-04Move some packages from Plasma5 support into no-X and X base modules Eric Hameleers3-3/+7
More and more, non-KDE software starts depending on packages that were introduced for KDE Plasma5.
2023-06-04XFCE: fix the XDM login screen Eric Hameleers1-0/+5
Input text for login and password was no longer visible.
2023-06-02DAW, LEAN, SLACKWARE: more detail in KDE Plasma System Info Eric Hameleers1-0/+6
Even when running -current, the KDE Info Center will show Slackware's stable version number. Therefore, add a line of text informing about the development status of Slackware -current when the ISO is based on it.
