[systemd-devel] Systemd-cryptsetup triggers a black screen after upgrading to 6.4.1

2023-07-06 Thread Felix Rubio
Using arch linux, I have had my kernel upgraded from 6.3.9 to 6.4.1. After regenerating the UKI, that works, I get just a black screen when systemd-cryptsetup should be either using the TPM to unlock the drive or to ask me the rescue password. Luckily I have an old UKI with 6.3.9 (also the

I apologize for my discovery journey. In 2015 Lennart was quoted[1] saying that "Initially we wrote it for testing purposes, but *nowadays we consider it ready for many production uses*. In fact CoreOS' rkt container tool makes use of it as the lower level container backend."[2] [1]

Watching Lennart's presentation on youtube (the famous one in 2013), Lennart explains that systemd-nspawn is not conceived to be used on production and server environments (as OpenVZ is, at least for us), but only for testing, development, debugging, etc. Does this limitation of scope still

Obs: when I mentioned the open source manager, what I meant was about my startup doing the development, in case the systemd community is interested. On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 5:04 PM Paulo Coghi - Coghi IT wrote: > Hello Systemd Devel team, > > I've been using OpenVZ for 11 years in production

[systemd-devel] Security and technical differences between systemd-nspawn and OpenVZ / LXC

2023-07-06 Thread Paulo Coghi - Coghi IT
Hello Systemd Devel team, I've been using OpenVZ for 11 years in production without the security problems I faced with LXC. But as a non-official mainstream library of Linux kernel, there is always a gap. Virtuozzo is working on OpenVZ 9 with kernel 5.14 now, but it is still not released.

Re: [systemd-devel] Enrolling PCR11 does not work as expected

2023-07-06 Thread Felix Rubio
In order to achieve the check of a number of PCRs, what do you guys think of this approach? 1. When running ukify, add the "measure" flag so that the expected value of the PCR11 is printed. 2. Then, script the reset of an unused PCR (in my case, 23), and the extend it with the current value
