switch from authconfig to authselect

[pbrezina]

Authconfig compatibility tool (from authselect-compat) will be removed from Fedora 35:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveAuthselectCompatPackage

---

Mageia does not seem to have authselect. Are those kickstarts used by the tool
any way?

[Conan-Kudo]

authselect will likely get imported in Mageia for when the next version of livecd-tools is released into there.

[pbrezina]

Ok, I updated Mageia files as well.

Please note that I did not test this patch (I don't really know how) and I have no idea how the class AuthConfig was used. This is just my best guess. Please, tell me if something else is required.

@Conan-Kudo can you please find some time to review this PR? Thank you.

You can test this fairly easily by doing the following:

livecd-creator --config livecd-fedora-minimal.ks --fslabel fedora-minimal-livecd --title=Fedora-Minimal-LiveCD --product=Fedora-Minimal-LiveCD --releasever=35

It'll produce you an ISO image that you can test.

Hi, I run make install but can't make it work:

@pbrezina We don't support Python 2 anymore. You need to configure with Python 3.

[pbrezina]

Thanks. Now I get:

[Conan-Kudo]

@pbrezina What are you running this on? Caret versions are supposed to be supported from RHEL 8.3 and higher.

[pbrezina]

I'm currently on old Fedora 29 due to issues with my regular workstation.

[Conan-Kudo]

Then you'll probably want to adjust the testcase kickstart to target a Fedora stable release, like Fedora 34.

I used rawhide virtual machine in the end to workaround it. The ISO was created, authselect was called correctly. The only error I see is:

Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/shimx64.efi)
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/gcdx64.efi)
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/fonts/unicode.pf2)
Failed to copy EFI files, no EFI Support will be included.
Missing initial EFI bootloader, skipping efiboot.img creation.
usage: mkefiboot [-h] [--debug] [-d] [-a] [-l LABEL] [-i ICONFILE] [-n DISKNAME] [-p PRODUCT] EFIBOOTDIR OUTPUTFILE
mkefiboot: error: /var/tmp/imgcreate-qfl7m_y0/iso-w8y3d1xr/EFI/BOOT is not a directory

When trying to boot from the image, I see this (no start to live cd option):

[pbrezina]

Is there anything else that is required from my side?

我最终使用了rawhide虚拟机来解决这个问题。ISO已创建，authselect已正确调用。我看到的唯一错误是：

Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/shimx64.efi)
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/gcdx64.efi)
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/fonts/unicode.pf2)
Failed to copy EFI files, no EFI Support will be included.
Missing initial EFI bootloader, skipping efiboot.img creation.

mkefiboot: error: /var/tmp/imgcreate-qfl7m_y0/iso-w8y3d1xr/EFI/BOOT is not a directory

当尝试从映像启动时，我看到以下内容（没有启动实时 CD 选项）：

Hello, may I ask if the issue with your interface has been resolved? I also encountered the same problem, but I added an additional option for start centers live8. However, after selecting that option, I still managed to re-enter this interface and cannot enter the main interface normally
