[blfs-support] locale question

[blfs-support] initramfs
Out of interest I've just read the above page in the book. I *don't* use an initramfs, but I do have a rootfs mounted on a btrfs subvolume (similar in some ways to LVM). I have a GPT boot partition formatted with ext2 on a USB flash drive, and I'm using syslinux as a boot loader. In case others are looking to boot a rootfs on a btrfs subvolume I just thought that I should report here that it is possible to do this *without* an initramfs.

Re: [blfs-support] iptables again
I've now got both ipv4 and ipv6 firewalls working satisfactorily, however, I'm having difficulty filtering icmpv6 packets, and wasted a lot of time yesterday in the attempt. As ipv6 is far more dependant upon icmp than ipv4 ever was, I'm finding it complicated to filter said packets in a secure manner and still have a functioning firewall. If anybody has any tips on filtering icmpv6 packets to aid security I'd be very grateful to hear them.

[blfs-support] iptables again
OK, I've had another look at iptables. The reason the counters weren't working in iptables when mail was sent was because, for whatever reason, msmtp decided to use an ipv6 address intead of ipv4. Running msmtp --debug proved this. I knew that building a dual stack was going to cause issues. I've locked ip6tables to force msmtp to use an ipv4 address for testing purposes, and it seems that there's some weird stuff going on, but I'm no iptables expert. The only way I could get mail through the firewall was to use the multiport module and open the smtp port (25) *and* the submission port (587) in the output chain. Using either one on its own didn't work, but I only seem to need port 587 open on the input chain. Then I noticed that the counters were working on the input chain but not on the output chain, even though mail was being sent. Looking at /etc/services I saw that there was a udp submission port 587; I don't know what its function is. I opened this port as well on the output chain and the counters started to record in both directions, but not on the udp port 587 rule itself. As I say, this seems really weird to me; it appears that I needed the udp port open to get the *other* counters recording, even though it doesn't record any traffic itself. If anybody has any comments I'd be grateful. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to investigate further as the bottom line is that mail is now being sent and recorded. I haven't set up logging yet but I will do when I have more time, and I'll be working on ip6tables, when I have a moment to spare,over the next couple of days. I should say that this is a very locked-down firewall with only the essential ports open on *both* input and output chains, with the standard policies of drop everything.

A minor point I know, but all my other traffic (ntp, http, dns, ssh) is recorded by iptables in those two columns. Are you wanting to show incoming or outgoing traffic, or both, or what? (OK, I guess from 'sent' that you mean outgoing traffic ... ). Does your firewall log the traffic for the relevant port numbers and for the relevant table (~== traffic-flow direction)? ( s|table|table/chain| ). Depending on what table you're wanting to see stats for, you might need to use the '-t' flag for iptables to show the stats for the relevant table. You might also find the '--line-numbers' flag useful - e.g. for debugging. (And fwiw, I'd normally use the '-x' flag too). (Long-shot: do try the '-x' - just on the outside chance that omitting it is somehow rounding-down small-values to 0 ). If the above don't resolve it, then probably good idea to post your firewall file, plus the literal stats command line (if different from the 'iptables -nvL' posted above). Maybe worth also doing: -- * log the stats immediately pre- test-message; * send test email; perhaps also use/send known-size attachment; * log the stats immediately post- test-message; * diff the pre-/post- stats. -- Account for the differences pre-/post-: what caused which traffic; so ideally do the test when non-test network traffic is low/nil; and NB of course that often firewalls are set to only log a subset of traffic (e.g. don't log stuff beyond the first n instances in present connection) - so the byte-amounts logged might be less than the amount sent in your test-email.

Regards,

You have to decide whether to use grub2 or syslinux; either will work. My
advice is to keep it simple. I prefer syslinux to grub2 because I think
that grub2 has become too bloated, and if you are using the ext series of
file systems (including btrfs) then I see no reason to use grub2. And,
yes, you can use syslinux with gpt and no initrd. If you want to use grub2
then Bruce has already told you how to do it.
One point I would make is to ensure that you are using the correct GPT
GUID; it's the second one that appears in the table displayed by querying
with i, the one that's labelled unique.
BTW your rootdelay of 20 seems far too long; I've managed to reduce mine
to 1 as you can see from my extlinux.conf file.

I've got kernel panic - VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0). Some forums suggests initramfs. I think you could skip initramfs only if you're using SATA disks. I've added initramfs in syslinux config, but it was unable to find a device containing root fs and dropped to a shell... I wonder, since you have a working setup could you try to boot your box with root FS on USB stick? Regards, Alexey Yes, I had the same problem; you have to have the kernel image on the same flash drive. That could be seen as a security issue but as we are dealing with very small computers somebody could just as easily walk off with the complete box as they could with the USB flash drive. Anyway, I have my USB flash drive locked under the front cover of the case; it's not on display. Of course, removing the flash drive renders the computer un-bootable; a security feature in itself. I use an 8GB flash drive (that seems to be the optimum capacity now, price-wise) and partition it into a 100MB boot partition with the remaining space as swap. With 8GB of RAM I don't need to swap to it but I'm hoping to be able to use it for hibernation. My systems are battery powered so I see it as a safety feature. I've had no luck yet getting it to work (more BIOS problems I think) but I'm working on it. So, the boot partition holds the extlinux directory and the kernel image and nothing else. If you do that it should boot OK without initramfs. I've also been able to boot to another USB flash drive so the target drive is immaterial. Let me know how you get on.

Re: [blfs-support] Failed to boot from USB stick
I can't boot BLFS 7.4 system (Intel Atom 32-bit) from USB stick on
some motherboards, but I can do it on the same motherboard type with
different (old) BIOS version.
Yes, the BIOS is one of the final bastions of proprietary
software/firmware, and many are crap with little opportunity to do anything
about it. Have you had a look at Coreboot to see if your motherboard is
supported; if it is you could replace the unpleasant, locked-down BIOS with
something more open. I've also had problems with SSD firmware which, on
one occasion, failed with many I/O errors. I was forced to flash to a
later version.
I boot all my 64-bit Atoms from USB flash drive now as it makes sense to me
to completely remove the boot sequence from the OS, particularly as the
boot partition does not even need to be mounted and becomes redundant after
the boot sequence has completed. I can then clone the flash drive with dd
and use it to boot a different box. I have had problems similar to your
own (all BIOS related) which can be difficult to track down, so I'm not
sure that I can be of any specific help with your particular problem. None
of my Atom boards is supported by Coreboot.
What worked for me in the end is the following: I don't use a initrd and I
partition the flash drive with GPT, format with ext2, and boot to an ext4
partition on an mSATA SSD. I use Syslinux rather than Grub2 as it's
lighter and it's much easier (IMO) to set up. If it's of any help here is
my extlinux.conf:-
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 50
DEFAULT xxx
LABEL xxx
LINUX /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.8-toi
APPEND root=PARTUUID=---- \
vga=792 acpi_osi=linux acpi_backlight=legacy
hest_disable \
iommu=soft rootfstype=ext4 rootdelay=1
I've read BIOS release notes and found nothing relevant to the problem
neither seen anything significantly different in BIOS menu.
grub.cfg is simple:
set default=0
set timeout=3
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
menuentry Default {
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.28
root=UUID=d768c1f0-79c9-45c4-b604-8d0735a71242 rootfstype=ext4 ro
rootdelay=6
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.10.28
}
On the failed system grub is capable to show boot menu, but while
selecting it, it fails with message:
error: failure reading sector 0x57f650 from 'hd0'.
if I drop to grub command prompt from boot menu (without initially
selecting entry), and do some commands:
grub ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos1)
grub insmod ext2
grub ls (hd0,1)/boot
error: failure reading sector 0x802 from 'hd0'
grub ls
# now ls output is empty line
grub date
error: no such partition.
grub
- If I connect the same USB stick to the motherboard with old BIOS, it
boots ok.
- I can boot from SATA HDD with exactly the same root fs as USB stick
(I've copied root partition with cpio and updated UUID value in grub
and fstab).
- I can boot from USB stick only if it has FAT32, for example MSDOS
boot disk or Ubuntu install disk made by Universal-USB-Installer.exe.
I wonder, what else do I need to check in order to get to the bottom
of this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [blfs-support] Complete Backup of {,B}LFS
'e2image' (part of e2fsprogs pkg) might be partly of some use there, in the wider-picture: but I'd say for the present task you really want dd or the find/cpio combination; either of them will do the job just fine. If you need 100% identical data - incl metadata, timestamps, c - then I'd say use dd. Whereas, working at the filesystem-level - as you normally would with find/cpio, cp, tar, cat, c - you run the 'risk' of at least some metadata (e.g. timestamps on dirs) being changed in source /or target. IME, for working at the filesystem-level, the find/cpio combination will get you 100% identical data-copy (I've never encountered find/cpio 'choking' on any filesys-objects), and near-100%-identical metadata-copy (e.g. via those '-a' '-m' cpio flags). It's probably worth mentioning explicitly that cloning also clones the UUID and the PARTUUID (if present) of a block device, which could cause problems later if using the cloned device within the same system. These IDs would need to be changed manually with blkid and gdisk.

Re: [blfs-support] problem using BS or DEL key
Good luck - I guess that compiling a kernel on an atom will be slow. ?en -- das eine Mal als Trag?die, dieses Mal als Farce The atom has come a long way since its inauguration; the latest Silverton range featuring the Avoton processors boast up to an eight core model with a 2.6 GHz clock speed per core and a 64 bit instruction set. The L3 cache is up to 4 MB. My own humble N2800 atom is 64bit dual core with a 1.86 GHz clock speed and a 1 MB cache. It completes a build of a fairly large static kernel image in ~ 45 mins. Not fast, I'm sure, compared with a powerful processor but acceptable nonetheless.

The root file system is on an mSATA SSD (currently /dev/sdb2) which is traditionally partitioned. If I use root=/dev/sdb2 plus kernel parameters on the syslinux flash drive than the system boots just fine. If I substitute /dev/sdb2 with root=UUID=whatever_blkid_of_/dev/sdb2_is plus kernel parameters then it doesn't boot and I get a kernel panic. There's also another SSD installed but not currently used. As I say, I'm going to change the setup by partitioning another mSATA device but *with* a GPT; moving the OS across to it, and then installing it in a different case with just the USB boot flash drive. What I'm trying to achieve is to completely remove the boot environment from the root file system. I think it simplifies things. It boots OK at present but with the issues that I listed. Maybe these will be resolved over the next few days when I rebuild the system. Any comments much appreciated.

If I scroll text garbage symbols scroll as well). Same happens if I use DEL key, but not every time. I also use loadkeys with no-latin1 (dunno if it might cause any trouble or not). Any hint, what might be wrong? Regards, Alexey This sounds very much like the problem that I had just under a year ago.

Re: [blfs-support] Time discrepency LFS 7.2 64bit/BLFS various
To be short, UTC is based on atomic clocks. Because the earth revolution speed varies (it always decreased till 1970), in UTC time the 0? meridian (solar time) tends to drift East. The leap seconds are added to UTC to keep the 0? meridian at Greenwich. In the regions where the legal time is UTC+x, for instance Central Europe Summer Time, CEST=UTC+2, the difference between local time and UTC time is obvious. In the regions where the legal time is based on GMT (like UK) the difference between local and UTC requires a correction of leap seconds. There is a debate to abolish the leap seconds seen as a nightmare in the digital world (next international conference in 2015). A majority of countries were in favor in 2012 but the main question was how to do it? Pierre Thanks Pierre, that's a really clear explanation. I always thought that GMT and UTC were much the same, and that it was a French plot to wrest control of time from us :-) Slightly off topic: can anybody say how much of the post title has to change before it's considered a different thread.

I don't appear to have either the posix directory or the right

As I was building a stripped-down system I must have followed the
suggestion to
omit them, and now, maybe, this has come back to bite me. I'm
assuming that I can install them now.
Yep, that's your problem. From my logs of tzdata-2013d I see:
for tz in etcetera southamerica northamerica europe africa antarctica \

systemv; do
zic -L /dev/null -d $ZONEINFO -y sh yearistype.sh ${tz}
zic -L /dev/null -d $ZONEINFO/posix -y sh yearistype.sh ${tz}
zic -L leapseconds -d $ZONEINFO/right -y sh yearistype.sh ${tz}
done
Note the last line in that for loop, which uses the leapseconds file to
generate the tz data in the 'right' directory. That's where your 26
second discrepancy is coming from. My advice would be to just upgrade
to tzdata-2013g from the latest SVN instructions.
Regards,
Matt.
Thanks Matt, that solved the issue. It was driving me crazy. I've been
using the system for a while and it was only a couple of Erlang packages
that I've been trying to install lately that picked up the problem.
Thanks too to Bruce, and particularly Pierre who flagged the leap second
issue right at the start.
Maybe it's worth removing the advice from Chapter 6.9 of the LFS book
regarding the posix and right directories. I know the advice comes
with a rider but it's clear to me that omitting those directories can cause
serious problems.

Also, it appeared to run OK with kernel 2.6.29 (although I seem to remember an AES encryption fail warning on boot). I did, however, spend hours on the kernel configuration running through the config file afresh from start to finish, but I really think that this is worth doing. Also, I always compile everything into the kernel rather than load modules.

Xorg 7.1 files
I'm building a simple groupware server using LFS and BLFS. The server itself doesn't need to run an X server, although the clients will, but I need X to compile certain packages. I've installed all the Xorg headers, utilities, and libraries. Will this be enough to compile packages such as TK, XPDF, etc. A few pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: No sound from speakers
Alessandro Alocci wrote: The command should be launched inside the /etc/udev/rules.d/15-alsa.rules script as described in the Alsa-utilities section of the BLFS book. Just control if you have installed the script properly. Thanks for the advice. I'm following the BLFS 6.1 book (the current stable version) where there is no mention of the 15-alsa.rules script. I have, however, found this script mentioned in the svn-20060910 version of the BLFS book, where it appears to have taken the place of the alsa.dev script that the BLFS 6.1 book says to install. This is very confusing. Am I right or am I missing something? Needless to say I do not currently have the 15-alsa.rules script installed, but I do have the alsa.dev script installed. I would really welcome some clarification. Thanks again.

Re: No sound from speakers
Thanks to everybody for the help. Just as I thought - it was a stupid error. The m/board I am using used to be in a case with front mounted audio jacks. To enable these jacks required the removal of two jumpers from the audio header on the m/board. I am now using the same m/board in a case with rear mounted jacks, so I should have replaced the jumpers in order to re-route the sound to the rear of the case. I forgot - so no sound. I still have one small problem however. The little alsa.dev script is not being read at boot time, which means I have to manually run alsactl restore every time I reboot. Does anybody have any ideas. I just cannot see why this is happening. Thanks in advance.
