[BUG]: rpi-imager keeps ignoring some of my custom settings before flashing

Open Toni500github opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

What happened?

Whenever I try to flash the Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit Image into my microSD card, before doing that I edit the settings, to put no telemetry and enable SSH password auth. But everytime I flash the image, it still says Telemetry done. cURL status code = 0 info sent = ... in the terminal output. Also keeps always switching the SSH setting from allowing passAuth to public-key auth only

if [ -f /usr/lib/raspberrypi-sys-mods/imager_custom ]; then\n   /usr/lib/raspberrypi-sys-mods/imager_custom enable_ssh -k 'ssh-rsa ...'

Even after removing ~/.config/Rasbperry Pi/ it still keeps ignoring my custom settings

Same Problem

looks like it was reported since #1177 and the only solution might be to downgrade rpi-imager. Why has nobody still merged the PRs to fix it? or address it?

It's fixed in Version 2 (release candidate) https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/releases
