As it turns out, we were setting $BROWSER to `sudo -H -u lubuntu firefox' all the way up until Jammy: https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/calamares-settings-ubuntu/src/branch/ubuntu/jammy/lubuntu/lubuntu-calamares.desktop.in
As you can see in the upstream bug that's mentioned in the upstream bug linked to this report, we then switched to using pkexec, which kind of ruined everything: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1217 For Noble, we've kind of clobbered over that, too, so I put us back to setting $BROWSER, which should solve this: https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/calamares-settings-ubuntu/commit/27850a5f222287d65ace653cf24f3eaf9995dd07 There are some other unrelated changes that will get wrapped up with this and should be released as calamares-settings-ubuntu 1:24.04.21. We can't reasonably backport this to Mantic, but that's not too bad given it's only supported for a few more months. In the end, this is a bit of a workaround. There is talk upstream of either changing how Calamares internally handles URLs or making it so that Calamares doesn't have to run as root. ** Bug watch added: Calamares Issues #1217 https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1217 ** Also affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Lubuntu Developers (lubuntu-dev) ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-24.04 ** No longer affects: calamares (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to calamares in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1981473 Title: Calamares fails to open any links (such as "Donate" or links in the "About" dialog) Status in Calamares: New Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Calamares fails to open "donate" or "Lubuntu support" in the Welcome to Lubuntu installer (see attached screen shot - When selecting either option - nothing occurs - no error message and no web site opened Testing Lubuntu Kinectic daily ISO 12-07-2022 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: calamares 3.3.0-alpha1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-27.28-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-27-generic x86_64 .etc.calamares.modules.after_bootloader_context.conf: --- dontChroot: false timeout: 120 firmwareType: "*": "-rm ${ROOT}/home/${USER}/Desktop/lubuntu-calamares.desktop" .etc.calamares.modules.finished.conf: --- restartNowMode: user-checked restartNowCommand: "systemctl -i reboot" .etc.calamares.modules.fstab.conf: crypttabOptions: luks,keyscript=/bin/cat efiMountOptions: umask=0077 .etc.calamares.modules.shellprocess_logs.conf: --- dontChroot: true timeout: 30 script: - calamares-logs-helper ${ROOT} .etc.calamares.modules.unpackfs.conf: --- unpack: - source: "/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs" sourcefs: "squashfs" destination: "" ApportVersion: 2.22.0-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CasperVersion: 1.472 CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Tue Jul 12 18:04:03 2022 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 22.10 "Kinetic Kudu" - Alpha amd64 (20220712) RelatedPackageVersions: calamares-settings-ubuntu-common 1:22.10.9 calamares-settings-lubuntu 1:22.10.9 xfsprogs 5.16.0-1ubuntu1 btrfs-progs 5.18.1-1 SourcePackage: calamares UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calamares/+bug/1981473/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
