Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel development questions
.-*| In support of the community |*-. Dear Trisquel, You know that they don't let me hack with you at work anymore. They even pushed me to use M$ and Ma¢ crap. You also know that I am using another distro at home, because I just needed more recent software. But girl! I have found more love for you: having to build every single package for this new distro made me realise how much work is needed to keep a free GNU/Linux like you. So, I want you to know that in the little free time that I may have I will try to find the way to contribute to your development. If anyone ever overhears our conversation, I hope that they will have the time to outline a first of couple (or more) steps to follow. For the uninformed: where do I start? Thanks.

Fellows, I only found this: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trixquel-trisquel-con-xfce which is in Spanish and is blocked. I want to share how I manged to do this, and I don't know if I should make a new manual for it. So, I will show it in the next post, just in case that I have to change something. Let me know if this is the right way to post this info, or I should create the manual.

Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
turns out that if you run update-initramfs -d -k «version» (in my case "a"), it deletes it completely. Then, I just removed every other file. Thanks again!
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
I don't know why or how, but I go a strange initrd.img-a in /boot/. I tried removing it as root, but every time I run update-initramfs -u -k all it comes back from the dead. Any ideas? Should I open a new discussion about this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
Lessons to be learnt: 1) initramfs is in charge of loading modules, scripts and hooks into the initrd.img files. These are files containing the kernel. 2) if you get to busybox because your kernel was not loaded, don't panic, you just probably only need the appropriate modules, scripts and hooks (check How to solve boot problems with Ubuntu after kernel upgrade: www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-initrd-bug.html). 3) you need to do a chroot environment with the required modules and decrypting your dm-crypt or LUKS partition (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/grub-cryptsetup-not-booting-after-kernel-update#comment-40597) 4) just to make sure, purge cryptsetup (aptitude purge cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin libcryptsetup4) and reinstall (aptitude install cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin+M libcryptsetup4+M) 5) just to make sure, try installing another kernel or purge and reinstall the one you have now (I'm not giving instructions for this in case you are a newbie, and want to take it easy, but if you really dare use aptitude search '~ilinux' --disable-columns -F '%p' | grep `image\|headers' to see which ones are installed) 6) use the name for the current unencrypted partition (I used "root" in step 3: cryptsetup luksOpen "$encpart" root) and modify your /etc/crypttab so that it says something like (le'ts say I used root): root UUID= none luks (to get the UUID you can type blkid). You are free to check the man-pages of crypttab: man crypttab 7) make sure that you have an according entry in /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/root0 1 ,

Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
The part_msdos and changing set root='(hd0,msdos1)' to set root='(hd0,msdos5)' didn't work. I guess that the root partition has to be the boot partition for the menuentry for some reason. I installed the busybox package from repo and uninstalled busybox-static. It didn't help. Then, I uninstalled busybox again and put back busybox-static, and the error message was gone in the busybox shell, but I was still dropped into it. I am pretty sure that this has something to do with initramfs, but I can't get what it is. Any ideas on how to get the manual procedure from above (comment #15: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/grub-cryptsetup-not-booting-after-kernel-update#comment-40635) automatically run at boot?
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
Nice! Thanks! Now I will take over your computer lulz! Guess what? in busybox: (initramfs) cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 root_disk (initramfs) lvm lvm> vgchange -a y Lap lvm> CTRL+D (initramfs) CTRL+D ...and I'm writing to you now! (I don't remember if I mounted something). Anyhow, I can work now, and I will continue to fix this a little bit later. May be it's the part_msdos and the set root='(hd0,msdos5)' that I'm missing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update

I tried by adding the modules into the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (man initramfs.conf) echo -e "crypto\nxts\n\ndm-crypt\naes" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and by modifying the /etc/default/grub file a little ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Root_encryption https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt_with_LUKS#Kernel_parameter_configuration_of_the_bootloader ) like this: [... snip ...] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sda5:cryptoroot" [... snip ...] so that I get /boot/grub/grub.cfg [... snip ...] linux /vmlinuz-3.5.0-36-generic cryptdevice=/dev/sda5:cryptoroot root=/dev/mapper/Lap-root ro splash quiet $vt_handoff [... snip ...] I also added echo "insmod lvm" to /etc/grub.d/00_linux , just in case.
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
Well, I restarted, did the cat /proc/modules again in busybox, and dm_crypt is not there. It is in my initrd.img file (zcat /boot/initrd.img | cpio -t)

Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
I just wanted the latest developments. I began this journey reading ArchWiki dm-crypt webpage (dm-crypt with LUKS - ArchWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt_with_LUKS ), and it said something about version 1.6. I saw that the version in the repos was 1.4, so I compiled it myself. Which was also a pain in the ass at the beginning. That is also why I decided to use checkinstall. I think that I got confused about the available options, like xts. I still don't know if the version in the repos has it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
Well, it seems that I shot myself in the foot. I compiled cryptsetup 1.6.1 from a tar-ball in the official repo. I built it with checkinstall. What I never suspected is that my nice little thing does not provide the appropriate hooks for initramfs-tools, which you can find in: (credits to: Initramfs - Ubuntu Wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Initramfs ) /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ I haven't tested the solution, but I uninstalled my own cryptsetup package (which I donate under the advice of not using it very much) and re-installed the version in the repos. It automatically created the executables in the mentioned directory above. Also, I managed to load the dm-crypt, aes and xts modules into my image by modifying /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (inspiration from Custom kernel, encrypt hook not working... help. [SOLVED] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157246:) echo -e "crypto\nxts\ndm-crypt\naes" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Which I think is not really needed after installing the official cryptsetup, but I think it would be useful for someone trying to debug ther initrd.img Now, I will restart my computer, and see if it works! Wish me luck. If someone would be so kind in telling me how to add the required things to my deb package or modify the current package to update it to version 1.6, I would appreciate it.
[Trisquel-users] grub + cryptsetup not booting after kernel update
ello, my boot is broken. I installed the new kernel (3.0.36?) last night with aptitude, but I run torsocks with it. It was late and I cancelled the thing (WRONG!). Before shutting down the computer with 'shutdown now' (and then pressing the power button), I did 'dpkg --configure -a' '/usr/bin/aptitude install linux-image-' and had to come back from bed, because the laptop was not off. I pushed the power button, and went to sleep. This morning, grub is telling me that it can't find my root partition which is encrypted with dm-crypt (cryptsetup). For what I have read, this might have to do with initrd.img not loading the dm-crypt modules, but I don't know. I end up being in a busybox shell that tells me that root is not found (that is /dev/mapper/Lap-root). I tried doing a chroot by first mounting the encrypted drive: (credits go to http://stephentanner.com/index.php/2011/05/restoring-grub-for-an-encrypted-lvm/ blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=1348 ) modprobe dm-crypt; cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 hd; vgscan; vgchange -a y system; lvscan; mount /dev/system/root /mnt && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot && sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc ; sudo mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys; chroot /mnt; grub-install /dev/sda; update-grub the blkid from liveCD shows: /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/sda1: UUID="5a07711e-189b-441f-a84c-774924575bb4" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda5: UUID="23020fcc-61ae-47f0-9215-a77a446b78c1" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" /dev/sr0: LABEL="trisquel-mini 6.0 amd64" TYPE="iso9660" the grub.cfg shows ... search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 5a07711e-189b-441f-a84c-774924575bb4 linux /vmlinuz-3.5.0-36-generic root=/dev/mapper/Lap-root ro splash quiet $vt_handoff ... zcat /mnt/grub/ | cpio -t | grep crypt lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/drivers/block/cryptoloop.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx/async_memcpy.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx/async_pq.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx/async_xor.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx/async_tx.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/async_tx/async_raid6_recov.ko lib/modules/3.5.0-36-generic/kernel/crypto/xor.ko So... can someone help me?
