News and feature lists of Linux and BSD distributions.

Today, the openSUSE project released version 25 of its Agama web-based installer for Tumbleweed, Slowroll, and MicroOS distributions with a web-based terminal, an option to exit the installer, and enhanced port selection.

Agama 25 web-based installer is out for Tumbleweed, Slowroll, and MicroOS with a web-based terminal, enhanced bond port selection, and more.

This repository is intended for installing Waydroid within the openSUSE distribution. It is located between the Tumbleweed and Slowroll versions and is now also included with Leap 16.0.

**Esta nueva versión del nuevo instalador de openSUSE/SUSE es la primera versión después de openSUSE Leap 16.1, iniciando el trabajo hacia Tumbleweed, Slowroll y Leap 16.2.** Agama 25, el nuevo instalador de openSUSE y SUSE ya está aquí, y aunque no incluye ninguna función destacada en particular, si incluye algunos cambios solicitados por los usuarios y una preparación para allanar el camino para próximos lanzamientos tanto Leap, como Tumbleweed, o Slowroll ## Una terminal integrada en el entorno web del instalador La interfaz web de Agama hasta ahora contaba con un terminal real, ees decir que si necesitabas una shell en el sistema que estabas instalando, tus opciones se limitaban a cambiar a otra consola virtual (por ejemplo, Ctrl+Alt+F8) si tenías acceso local, o conectarte por SSH. Desde esta nueva versión puedes abrir un terminal desde la comodidad de la interfaz web de Agama, sin salir del navegador, lo que facilita muchas tareas y puede resultar muy útil el poder acceder a una terminal de manera nativa desde el propio instalador. ## Poder abandonar el proceso antes de que sea demasiado tarde Algo que ha sido solicitado por varios usuarios, es que ahora Agama ofrece una opción de interrumpir el proceso. La encontrarás desde el principio del proceso, permitiéndote reiniciar o apagar la máquina si cambias de opinión. Es importante señalar que la opción solo está disponible antes de que comience la instalación: cancelar mientras Agama ya está aplicando cambios al sistema podría dejarlo en un estado impredecible y potencialmente no arrancable, por lo que la opción de abandonar el proceso desaparece tan pronto como la instalación ya está ha comenzado. ## Con la vista puesta en Tumbleweed Los desarrolladores siguen trabajando con los responsables de Tumbleweed para que Agama sea el instalador de la distribución. Aún no hay una fecha fijada, pero poco a poco se va trabajando con ese objetivo. Así que a término y en un tiempo que ahora no se puede definir, también Agama tomará el control a la hora de instalar Tumbleweed en tu equipo, y junto con Tumbleweed también Slowroll. ## Cortando poco a poco lazos con YaST Agama nació sobre la base de varios paquetes del instalador YaST, reutilizando lógica que ya existía en lugar de reescribirla desde cero. Pero poco a poco se está reduciendo esa dependencia, incorporando a la propia base de código de Agama solo las partes que realmente necesita en lugar de incorporar módulos completos de YaST. Hasta ahora este esfuerzo cubre el código relacionado con AutoYaST, y seguirán más áreas. El antiguo instalador YaST ya es un proyecto abandonado, ya que nadie ya se hace cargo de mejoras, a su código y se irán eliminado partes de código cuando este vaya bloqueando otros procesos que por su culpa no puedan evolucionar. El instalador YaST ha muerto, larga vida a Agama. ## Enlaces de interés * https://agama-project.github.io/blog/2026/10/21/agama-25

Agama 25 is here, and while it does not carry any single headline feature, it bundles a handful of changes requested by users and some groundwork for what is coming next. This is the first release after openSUSE Leap 16.1, starting the work toward Tumbleweed, Slowroll, and Leap 16.2. Let's see what's new. ## A web-based terminal​ Agama's web UI now features an actual terminal. Until now, if you needed a shell on the system you were installing, your options were limited to switching to a different virtual console (e.g. `Ctrl+Alt+F8`) if you had local access, or connecting through SSH. Now you can just open a terminal from the comfort of Agama's web UI, without leaving the browser. ## Leaving before it's too late​ As several users requested, Agama now offers an exit option. You will find it from the very beginning of the process, letting you reboot or shut down the machine if you change your mind. It is important to note that the option is only available before the installation starts: cancelling while Agama is already applying changes to the system could leave it in an unpredictable and potentially unbootable state, so the exit option disappears as soon as the installation is underway. ## Enhanced port selection​ Until now, the ports of a bond or a bridge had to be typed by hand in a free-text field, with only a line listing the existing device names as a hint. A typo was silently accepted, and the field did not scale well past a handful of NICs. In Agama 25, the ports selection uses a searchable multi-select field instead: the devices found in the system are offered in a list you can filter as you type, and a name can still be written out by hand for a device that is not present in the system yet. ## Towards Tumbleweed adoption​ Behind the scenes, we keep working with the Tumbleweed maintainers to make Agama the installer for the distribution. There is still no date for that to happen, but we are getting closer. Recent examples of that effort are adjusting the registration support and 32-bit media build and adding riscv64 support, the latter contributed by Andreas Schwab. ## Cutting ties with YaST packages​ Agama was born on top of several YaST packages, reusing logic that was already there instead of rewriting it from scratch. We are now reducing that reliance, bringing into Agama's own codebase just the parts it actually needs instead of pulling in whole YaST modules. So far this effort covers the AutoYaST-related code, and more areas will follow. ## Polishing and publishing our OpenAPI and JSON schemas​ Agama exposes its HTTP API through an OpenAPI specification and validates its configuration and profile files against JSON schemas. We have been polishing both and, more importantly, publishing them with stable URLs at Agama's documentation site. Having them published this way is useful well beyond Agama itself: it allows other tools to generate clients, validate requests, or simply let people browse the API without digging through the source code. The JSON schemas are useful on their own too. For instance, adding a `"$schema"` key pointing to the right schema at the top of your AutoYaST-like profile or configuration file is enough for many editors to offer autocompletion and inline validation as you type. ## Keep in touch​ On top of all that, we have also been busy with a bunch of smaller fixes and improvements that did not make it into this post, like reporting more details about network devices or setting `systemd-boot` as the default bootloader for MicroOS. As always, you can take a look at the project at GitHub or drop by the `#yast` channel at Libera.chat if you have questions, feedback or just want to say hello. Stay tuned!
