Bug#434027: partman-crypto: loop-aes fails with not supported by kernel
tags 434027 + pending thanks I've hit one snag implementing a fix for this. As losetup is not available, we cannot see what precisely is loop-mounted on a certain loop device, so we cannot loop over all loop-mounted devices and unmount/remount them. I've solved this by just assuming that we only use loop-mounting for the CD image in hd-media installs. If a CD image is mounted, the image will be unmounted, loop replaced by loop-aes, and finally the image will be remounted. I've included some sanity checks, so if something else is using loop, partman should now fail in a controlled manner and with proper indication in the syslog why it's failing.

[RFC] Add support for LUKS encrypted root in rescue mode
Hi!
Attached is a patch that will allow encrypted (using LUKS) root
partitions to be used in rescue mode.
The patch is fairly simple, and ask a passphrase for every LUKS
partitions found before the root partition is choosen.
This only affects rescue-mode.postinst, add a template and a dependency
on crypto-modules and cryptsetup-udeb.
In the long term, it is not probably the best solution as it does
neither support loop-aes partitions, nor plain dm-crypt. It would
probably better to support re-use of already encrypted partitions in
partman and use these facilities in rescue-mode instead of custom code.
Anyway, it works nicely with the guided partitioning for crypto root,
and that actually covers quite a lot of our users, so it might still be
a worthy addition.
Cheers,
--

After invoking a shell and doing a 'chroot /target' and 'apt-key update' (which required me to install the 'debian-archive-keyring' package) all worked as expected. What needs to happen is that the debianinstaller (d-i) should really include 'apt-key update' as part of its normal install procedure to make sure that installations will always work irrespective of when GPG keys change. BTW: someone should add 'd-i' as a package so that we can 'reportbug' straight to the d-i developers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bug#247484: thoughts on date setting
Now I'm considering moving a lot of stuff around. CCing boot since this is expanding beyond just one package. Rather than have two or three clock-related things on the menu, I propose we have one clock-setup menu item, that runs after netcfg. This would include both calling tzsetup, as well as using rdate. tzsetup would stop being a menu item, and would be called from clock-setup's postinst (or merged into clock-setup, whatever works best). That leaves the stuff that's in clock-setup now -- the clock-setup/utc question. This has to come after partitioning, and if it's not a menu item, where to run it? I propose moving the question to the finish-install hook that actually modifies the config files for non-UTC systems. Most of the time users won't see the question at all, and putting it here, users with dual-boot systems will have just dealt with that in bootloader configuration, so it's natural that another question about multi-OS stuff comes here. Looking at the menu layout, that leaves user-setup as the only normally interactive thing between partman formatting the disks and apt-setup running at the end of base-installer. user-setup has no dependencies, so it can be moved out of that location. I suggest moving it to run just before apt-setup.

This would include both calling tzsetup, as well as using rdate. tzsetup would stop being a menu item, and would be called from clock-setup's postinst (or merged into clock-setup, whatever works best). I agree about merging clock-setup and tzsetup. The logic is getting intertwined now. Please be careful about not breaking s/390 and nslu2 installs where localechooser is only loaded with anna and thus country selection (needed for timezone selection) is not available until after that. netcfg runs earlier. I see that in the proposed menu items you actually do have clock-setup after anna, so that should be OK. And it's good as well in the sense that there should be no need to include rdate in initrds. That leaves the stuff that's in clock-setup now -- the clock-setup/utc question. This has to come after partitioning, and if it's not a menu item, where to run it? The reason it has to run after partitioning being the need to run os-prober to get info about which other OSes are present. I propose moving the question to the finish-install hook that actually modifies the config files for non-UTC systems. Most of the time users won't see the question at all, and putting it here, users with dual-boot systems will have just dealt with that in bootloader configuration, so it's natural that another question about multi-OS stuff comes here. Let me see if I understand: - early in install: - run rdate without changing the system clock - compare rdate output and current system clock to - check sanity of hardware clock - determine if hardware clock is on UTC or not - use country and previous to - check if clock is sane (if country has single timezone; for countries with more TZs it should still fit in the range) - determine default timezone (countres with more TZs) - set system time (using UTC) - late in the install: - using os-prober info, determine if system should be on UTC or local - ask user if unsure - set hardware clock if needed (ask user if unsure) The only question may be: how does having installed using UTC and possible switching to localtime affect the reboot. This is different from what we do now as we now basically use the system clock for the install, and thus create files using local time if that is what the clock is set to. I think this could create problems for users who are in a negative TZ (or maybe positive, not sure and too lazy to think it out ATM). Maybe the late in the install bits should instead be done immediately after partitioning to solve this? Looking at the menu layout, that leaves user-setup as the only normally interactive thing between partman formatting the disks and apt-setup running at the end of base-installer. user-setup has no dependencies, so it can be moved out of that location. I suggest moving it to run just before apt-setup. Seems OK. I wonder if we should then just commit the user settings in the postinst instead of during finish-install. pgpEGRCQA7tPx.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#434304: further information
This is location I got the floppy images from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/floppy/ I had an earlier version of the boot disk initially, from some 7 or so days ago, so the problem is not very recent. I have completed debian installs in the past.
