Actually, we don’t use this file anymore in our current Calamares install sequence (module users is skipped), thus I guess no need to change it.
Currently when booting 15.0.0.9.5 Whonix-Host iso (and all previous recent successful builds), user user has full sudo rights (although not in sudo group). This behavior is then reproduced in the Whonix-Host installed version. I gather this not the expected behavior as per current “restricted root” policy? What should be the default expected behavior regarding sudo/root/admin rights in Kicksecure/Whonix GW-WS?
Regarding last merged pull requests (branding), everything seems to work as intended (see screenshots below).
Still needs fixing/considering
- Whonix VM disk images are still not set in ro mode
- We should have auto-login enabled for user
user(unpractical to log in when booting an ISO file) - We need to replace Kicksecure references by Whonix-Host everywhere (I am thinking /etc/motd, grub, anything else?).
- Test on real hardware (both EFI/BIOS)…
- Get rid of the default XFCE4 desktop image (replace with simple color?), add some Desktop icons (cosmetic changes, not urgent)
Some screenshots:

Clicking on Install Whonix-Host icon launches Calamares. It needs sudo rights to proceed.
