Spaced Linux 8.26.7 repairs the broken 8.26.6 installer and installed-system boot path.
Highlights:
- Fixes Calamares retry cleanup, bounded offline time synchronization, live-session screen locking, and passwordless live GParted authorization (#128-#131, #134).
- Restores the installed GRUB theme with self-contained artwork and the polished Spaced icon (#133).
- Uses the issue-provided round Spaced mark for the Brisk menu and the polished icon throughout Calamares (#107, #132).
- Scopes the Spaced APT source with an explicit keyring Signed-By option (#135).
- Adds Cards with Cats, Brutal Chess, and Spaced Update to Welcome and SpacedBazaar. Every CRHY Flatpak bundle is resolved from its latest stable GitHub release at install time (#136).
- Updates the website and every release identifier to 8.26.7.
Verification:
- Passed the full repository source gate and a clean Ceres ISO build.
- Passed SHA-256 verification and a final KVM live-session smoke test.
- Completed a real Calamares erase-disk install, detached-ISO GRUB boot, LightDM login, and MATE/Compiz/Welcome desktop acceptance test.
- Confirmed the time-sync helper exits successfully after its 12-second bound in an isolated network namespace.
SHA-256: f5bb646eeeb5c4941232f5cf9483aa5b532bb61b3e71e219dae87ba50d1d113f
