New in this release
- Nwipe can now be configured to launch with whatever parameters you choose. This configuration is saved between reboots. You can choose to launch with whatever method, verification or rounds you require. You can even launch as a autonuke device (dangerous unless you know what you are doing). See How to change the default nwipe options so the change persists between reboots for a description of how to configure grub.cfg in /boot/grub/ and /EFI/BOOT/ on your USB stick.
- If you are using a non U.S. keyboard you can now use loadkeys to set whatever country keyboard code you require. As with the nwipe configuration this can also be saved between reboots. So no more pressing keys and not getting the character you were expecting ! See How to make a persistent change to keyboard maps to understand how to configure grub.cfg to remember you keyboard mapping. Also see How to set the keyboard map using the loadkeys command to read more about where to find the valid codes to use for your keyboard.
- The following additions were made to ShredOS.
- Updated hexedit from 1.4.2 to 1.5
- Enabled hexedit for installation, missing from previous release.
- Added man pages package, and man page for hexedit but it doesn't work in hexedit as nroff is missing.
- Modified /board/shredos/doimg.sh so that output .img file is now named in the following format example: Shredos-2020.05.006_x86_64-0.30.001_YYmmdd.img, ie Shredos-[buildroot version].[Shredos minor version]_[architecture]-[nwipe version]_release date.img. Further work needs to be done here at a later date to automate this naming.
Known issues
- If you run hexedit in the second or third virtual terminals (ALT-F2, ALT-F3) and you press the F1 key for help you won't get any help displayed. This is because of a missing program
nroff. To be corrected in the next release. For help on hexedit see man hexedit - Some vendors USB keyboards don't work due to missing drivers. Currently working on that issue and hope to release a revised version within a week.
