For reasons similar to those Connor gives, it might be better to rely
on some kind of dedicated "Linux rescue distro" instead. It's likely
that the utilities and documentation would be much more robust and
up-to-date. If we tried to do this in our own documentation, it would
probably quickly become out of date and end up not being very useful
in the long run (assuming we could even find anyone to contribute the
requested documentation in the first place).

[qubes-users] Recovery Disk & Suggest Live Linux CD to recovery system like WinPE

2016-09-04 Thread Connor Page 
I think nowadays many live installers that have capability to install on 
encrypted partitions give possibility use the tools in a terminal window. For 
instance, when I realised that somehow only a swap partition got encrypted in a 
fresh Qubes install I launched Manjaro live ISO, dd root partition to a temp 
location, created a new dm-crypt/LUKS partition, mounted that, dd root 
partition back, chroot'ed into that updated crypttab and grub config, rebooted 
and was happy.
I think it would be most appropriate to use a distro with a recent kernel not 
much older or newer than Qubes dom0 kernel.

Caution: you should trust the recovery system.

[qubes-users] Recovery Disk & Suggest Live Linux CD to recovery system like WinPE

2016-09-04 Thread Eva Star 

Are there some live recovery CDs as we have on windows (Windows PE)?

I notice that qubes have some recovery console, but it's hard to 
understand how to use it (maybe some examples at Documentation and 
"Recovery page" at documentation? Some basic examples...
How to add utilities to it? What utilities we already have on this 
console? How to use them? Please, add the page to docs about it...


Now, I'm searching the way to run some LiveLinuxCD to reencrypt my 
drive. So, this LiveCD must have 1) cryptsetup / cryptsetup-reencrypt tool.
