Hi, I am having a number of problems regarding installing Trisquel encrypted.
Firstly, I attempted to install Trisquel using the net installation CD. It
all went fine (allowing me to install everything except /boot encrypted using
the useful 'guided partitioning with encrypted LVM' option) unt
Thanks for your reply. I am comfortable with partitioning and installing,
what I am really trying to say is that the Trisquel net installer
automatically treats itself as the drive /dev/sda, rather than the first
disk, which is clearly an example of misbehaviour. If you have no other OS

Using the install as you've been doing and taking Magic Banana's suggestion
to target the GRUB install to /dev/sdc is probably the easiest way to fix
your problem. I've personally not run into this issue but if you feel that it
isn't installing properly because your target disk isn't /dev/sda
I got it mixed up with the update-grub command, but I definitely used
grub-install in the shell, and it said that it didn't exist in /bin/bash. It
is confusing the inconsistency of the naming of these commands, but I know I
tried the right command.
Has anyone else had this problem? In fact, installing GRUB from the net
install fails whether I'm using encrypted partitions or not. Does anyone
actually use the net installer?
I've had my share of issues with the netinstall, but after a few attempts, it
worked. Never had any issue with Grub though. My drive is encrypted and I
have Libreboot.
Also md5 isn't as reliable as gpg, from what I've read.

The download page provides an md5sum and an ASCII-armoured GPG signature.
MD5 is fine for verifying that the download did not corrupt along the way.
MD5 is vulnerable to certain attacks that makes it unsuitable for storing
passwords.

While attempting to install GRUB, it seemed to have corrupted the original
installation, meaning I was not able to boot my computer into anything other
than the net installer. There is a shell included but 'install-grub' does not
exist as a command, so I can't run it after installation or boo
Thanks for your reply. I repeated the steps with the netinstall CD, verifying
the cryptographic signatures and md5 sums of the disk image, and attempted to
install. I get the same GRUB error, so I install without the bootloader. This
is clearly a bug: it expects /dev/sda to be target disk.
I have the same issue. The solution is brutally removing the USB stick so
that the device configuration is reviewed and the hard disk will be treated
as /dev/sda, not the USB.

Thanks!
Another option: When the installer gets to the point where it asks to install
GRUB, say no. It then asks for where to install it. Tell it /dev/sdb. GRUB is
then installed to the correct device and it boots just fine.
