Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
Do I need to create FS on BIOS boot partition?
Re: [Trisquel-users] what happened to http://packages.trisquel.info?
Try HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Re: [Trisquel-users] what happened to http://packages.trisquel.info?
It appears that for some reason your Abrowser is set to force https. I have httpseverywhere here but browser behaves normally, that is, being that http://packages.trisquel.info/ has no https it stays it stays on the page, and if I **manually** add the "s" to the http in the url, only then I get redirected to https://devel.trisquel.info/groups/trisquel cheers

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
And what partition is bootable?
[Trisquel-users] Re : How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
There is no filesystem (hence no file) on a BIOS boot partition. That concept is unknown to the BIOS. Your BIOS boot partition only has GRUB's stage 1.5 code, which includes drivers to read all the popular filesystems. In this way stage 2 can be in regular files in /boot/grub, kernel images can be loaded by their paths, etc. 'grub-install' has not had a --root-directory option since GRUB 1.99. It still has a --boot-directory option though. It specifies, well, the boot directory, i.e., /boot by default. It is useful when installing from a live system (otherwise 'grub-install' will consider the /boot of the live system).
[Trisquel-users] Re : How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
If by that you mean "which partition must have the boot flag", the answer is none. The BIOS boot partition must have the bios_grub flag though.
[Trisquel-users] Re : How simple/complex is your installation process?
I managed to get the swap encrypted and functional: $ swapon -s FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 partition 8388604 384 -1 However, I am not quite sure how! Something I did was to *only* have that line in /etc/crypttab: cryptswap1 /dev/sda1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 /etc/crypttab was containing several lines (probably one per attempt to run 'sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap'), where the swap partition was specified by UUID... with a different UUID on each line. As you can see above, I specified the device (/dev/sda1; to change if 'lsblk' indicates another device) rather than its UUID. I then rebooted. But I guess there is a way to enable the encrypted swap without rebooting.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
Oh no. I marked LVM as bootable. Can GRUB_BIOS be in (encrypted) LVM?

> However, I am not quite sure how! Something I did was to only have that line in /etc/crypttab: cryptswap1 /dev/sda1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 Yeah, the line is here too.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need to Uninstall Trisquel
I looked for Xfce in synaptic, what I saw was Xfce 4, and one mention of Xfce keyboard. There were many Xfce4's in the list, I have to find which one to get. As much as I like Trisquel, I'm still uncertain about keeping it. One feature I really like about Trisquel is the screenshot, to me it's a very important tool. I noticed Mini doesn't have it, there's a program that can be had separately though. I saw a post about that someplace.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need to Uninstall Trisquel
I read some of your prefs, noticed some mention of windows and NT. That says to me it's referring to your computer and OS, am I correct? Oh, and speaking of javascript, you know Diaspora uses it, I'm sure. Also, about add-ons for Tor- I read it's not recommended to put more than what they put in. Some years ago someone said not to use addblock, because it reveals info- whatever we use, the sites know we're using it. Would the random browser spoofer fool sites into seeing something other than Tor? Would that compromise Tor's purpose? Maybe I'll ask this stuff on D, too, and go to Tor's IRC channel. I'd have to get my messenger back, when I got scared about the DDos, I deleted it. I haven't added anything new to Tor yet. On IceCat I have HTTPS Everywhere, UblockOrigin, Cookie Monster, SpyBlock, Random Browser Spoofer (hope I'm remembering the name of that right), NoScript, and I think that's it but that's enough. SilverWolf told me too many add-ons could mess things up. He helped me get Trisquel.

[Trisquel-users] Re : How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
With GRUB in the MBR, the boot flag is not used. grub_bios is the BIOS boot partition: https://trisquel.info/forum/how-install-gpt-bios-full-disk-encryption-boot#comment-104804
[Trisquel-users] Re : Need to Uninstall Trisquel
If you want the whole Xfce4 environment, then install "xfce4". It is a meta-package that depends on the whole Xfce4 environment. There is a package "xfce4-screenshooter" and you may like it. Otherwise, nothing prevents you from using "gnome-screenshot" (the name of the command and of the package) on Xfce or any other desktop environment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
Ok. The last questions: 1. Can bootable BIOS partition be in LVM 2. Can bootable BIOS partition be in encrypted LVM 3. If I will check "Yes" for /home encryption and then create big LVM with /boot, /home, / and swap — can I use Hibernate on my laptop after this?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Need to Uninstall Trisquel
Website can detect many things about the Web browser configuration. It can indeed know that an ad blocker is used. It can know as well that Tor is used (its exit nodes are not secret). The more tweaking, the higher the risk that the fingerprint of the browser is (close to) unique and that websites can track you. That is why the Tor Browser is configured in a very generic way. It even sends wrong information to the websites because that information is more common. The developers recommend not to install add-ons or plugins because that makes the fingerprint more unique. All that said, another possibility is to randomize the information, in particular the user agent information that gives what browser in what version is used. The add-on named "Random Agent Spoofer" does that. But the developer of the Tor browser argue that uniformity is safer than randomization: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#fingerprinting-linkability
[Trisquel-users] Re : How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
I have already told you: unless we are talking about hardware-based encryption (we are not), the BIOS boot partition cannot be encrypted. And I see no reason to manage it with LVM (it is 1 MB large) or to encrypt it (it only contains GRUB's stage 1.5). I have never used LVM but I doubt you can have logical volume inside logical volumes. There are ways to encrypt the swap and still be able to hibernate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap

Thank you for the info, I was reading some info at Tor earlier and I'll go to the link you gave me.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to do full disk encryption.
I don't have a swap partition. Is there anything else I should encrypt?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install GPT on BIOS & full disk encryption (with boot)?
I'm pretty sure MagicBanana was helping you... by telling you what you want is not currently possible. It's obviously not what you want to hear but there's nothing we (or you) can do about it, unless you add designing an entirely new way for computers to function as we know it to your growing list of projects that is.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to do full disk encryption.
hmm... with full disk encryption there is small partition of around 200MB-hmm300MB(?) of size. which is where the boot loader/kernel is stored. other wise whats left to load the OS? some software has to be loaded else how to decrypt and load the system ;) what can be done is to have the boot partition -as its called- on another drive, like a usb flash drive. that way only encrypted data is on the drive in the computer and you can keep the all important non-encrypted boot partition on a usb drive/sick which you can keep on your person at all times but for when your using/have the laptop booted. so its harder for an attacker to physical get hold of it and add a backdoor. i think this is helpful, when getting though air port "security". so it depends on your threat level or convenience level

Those are fake values to override the user agent. On panopticlick, with no js, I get 6 bits of identifying information, heh ^^

[Trisquel-users] Re : How to do full disk encryption.
You have encrypted the most sensitive data. However things written in /tmp (and maybe in /var) can reveal personal information. If you decide that you need fukll-disk encryption, then it is easier to install Trisquel again: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/full-disk-encryption-install
