[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

Since ubiquity does not run ecryptfs-setup-swap as chroot, there is also
another problem: unencrypted swapfile entry in /etc/fstab is not
commented out as it should, so you get

/swapfile noneswapsw
  0   0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

instead of

#/swapfile noneswapsw   
   0   0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

This is because Ubiquity has not been patched yet.
I had already pointed out the problem in this thread:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1670336/comments/12

But I do not know ubiquity well enough to patch it, it is better that
the maintainer does it

Problem still exists in17.10/Artful:

/etc/crypttab contains:

cryptswap1 /Target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-

when it should be only:

The latest Artful daily (3108) also suffers from slow boot times after
installation with an encrypted home folder. Please, if I can provide
developers with any debug info about this, I'm happy to help - just tell
me what to provide.

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Tyler Hicks]

I've been looking at this issue. The linked merge proposal for ecryptfs-
utils almost gets us there. I've got a cleaned up version that I've been
testing with. Unfortunately, I run into an issue in the systemd
generated swap unit for the swapfile. It does something a little
different for swap files than it does for swap partitions and my testing
VM sometimes hangs (infinitely) during boot waiting on the swap unit to
start. I still need to do more investigation to understand the problem
and come up with the correct solution there.

[Lesik]

I can confirm this bug on a fresh install of Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu.
The workaround of changing the crypttab to point to /target/swapfile fixes the 
problem.

I think this bug is quite severe, as new users may set the checkbox,
then experience heavily delayed boot times.

/etc/crypttab fixes the problem (system no longer hangs on boot).
Confirmed on Kubuntu and Ubuntu 17.04 on systems that had their home

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

Dimitri,

I have just found time to do another test: Ubiquity does need to be
patched too.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
- boot an ubuntu gnome 17.04 beta 1 live cd
- before launching ubiquity, manually modify /usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-swap like 
in the pacth I posted here
- launch ubiquity and select the encrytpted home folder option
- after installation, at boot the system hangs a couple of minutes because it 
cannot manage to activate swap
- log in, open a terminal and type "cat /etc/crypttab", you get:
cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

I guess that Ubiquity does not run ecryptfs-setup-swap as chroot as it should.
When dealing with swap partitions/UUIDs probably this is not a problem, but 
when using swap files it is.

[Alberto Pianon]

It seems that they are two different things.

This bug affects encrypting a swap *file* via ecryptfs (so affecting
also ubiquity when using ecrypfs to encrypt home and swapfile), and the
patch I made is for an ecryptfs-utils script (even if also ubiquity may
need to be patched, too, see above my comment #6)

bug #1668535 instead concerns encryption of a swap *partition*, and the
patch you find there is for systemd

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

I have run again the Ubuntu 17.04 installer on a virtual machine, with the 
"encrypted home folder" option.
I confirm that in such case even the unencrypted swap is not activated after 
boot.
In particular:

- at boot, the system hangs a couple of minutes telling that "a start
job is running for dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device"

- when I finally manage to login, I see that no swap is activated:

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

Maybe also Ubiquity needs to be patched, I am not sure since I did not
have time to test it yet.

I did the following test to isolate the problems.


1) Fresh ubuntu 17.04 installation with no encrypted home (and no encrypted 
swap). /etc/crypttab is empty, and in /etc/fstab I have the following line:

/swapfile noneswapsw  0   0


2) After successfully running ecryptfs-migrate-home, I run ecryptfs-setup-swap 
(the "original" version, not the one with the above patch) and I get:

INFO: Setting up swap: [/swapfile]
device node not found
WARNING: Commented out your unencrypted swap from /etc/fstab
swapon: cannot open /dev/mapper/cryptswap1:  No such file or directory

Now in /etc/fstab I have:

#/swapfile noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

and in /etc/crypttab I have:
cryptswap1 UUID=98a3bb25-2c4d-4897-974c-d5dfcc16be8f /dev/urandom 
swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

If I run free, I see that I have no swap:
  totalusedfree  shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:8084440 1421116 4575096  273228 2088228 6086972
Swap: 0   0   0


3) I reboot, and the system hangs a lot during boot. I see "a start job is 
running for dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device". After a couple of minutes, the boot 
process ends and I can login. If I run "systemctl status swapfile.swap" and 
"free" I see that (unencryted) swapfile has been activated anyway.
THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I GOT WHEN DOING A FRESH UBUNTU 17.04 INSTALL WITH 
THE "ENCRYPT HOME FOLDER" OPTION SELECTED.
In that case, I got the system hanging during boot, too, but when I finally 
managed to login I got no swap at all ("systemctl status swapfile.swap" 
returned "failed to activate swap /swapfile").
Looking at ubiquity scripts, I see that if encrypted home option is selected, 
it runs also ecryptfs-setup-swap (so ubiquity is actually affected by the bug 
described above); but the fact that system fails also to activate unencrypted 
swap seems to suggest that Ubiquity may need to be patched too.


4) 

** Description changed:

  Description:  Ubuntu Zesty Zapus (development branch)
  Release:  17.04
  ecryptfs-utils:
    Installato: 111-0ubuntu4
    Candidato:  111-0ubuntu4
    Tabella versione:
   *** 111-0ubuntu4 500
  500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/main amd64 Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
  Ubuntu 17.04 uses swapfiles by default.
  
  If you select the "encrypt home folder" option when creating the main
  user during Ubuntu 17.04 beta1 installation (which makes Ubiquity run
  also the ecryptfs-setup-swap command), after installation the system
  hangs a lot during boot, because it fails to activate swap (output of
  "systemctl status swapfile.swap" says "failed to activate swap
  /swapfile").
  
  If you install Ubuntu 17.04 beta1 without selecting "encrypt home
  folder", and only after installation you run the ecryptfs-migrate-home
  utility, everything works. But as soon as you try to manually setup
  encrypyted swap (by running ecryptfs-setup-swap), you get the same
  problem as above.
  
+ In particular, you get the following error when running ecryptfs-setup-
+ swap:
+ 
+ INFO: Setting up swap: [/swapfile]
+ device node not found
+ WARNING: Commented out your unencrypted swap from /etc/fstab
+ swapon: cannot open /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: No such file or directory
+ 
  This is due to an ecryptfs-utils bug.
  In particular, ecryptfs-setup-swap puts in /etc/crypttab a line like this:
  
  cryptswap1 UID= /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-
  plain64
  
  (like there were a swap partition with UID=) while with a
  swapfile it should put the following line:
  
  cryptswap1 /swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-
  plain64
  
  If you manually change that line and reboot, you get rid of the problem - 
before rebooting, check also that your /etc/fstab file ends with:
  #/swapfile noneswapsw  0   0
  /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
  
- This bug indirectly affects also Ubiquity, since choosing the "encrypt
- home folder" makes system hang a lot at boot (and when it finally starts
- it has no swap).

  I tried both with Ubuntu Budgie and with Ubuntu Gnome, the problem is
  the same.

Dimitri - Could you have a look at this? I believe you worked on the
encrypted swap changes.

[Bug 1670336] Re: Ubiquity problem with encrypted home option: system hangs because of ecryptfs-setup-swap not working with swapfiles

[Alberto Pianon]

I patched ecryptfs-setup-swap and now it works.
The first modification is to avoid to run udevadm on a file (you get a "device 
node not found" error, harmless but annoying)
The second modification is to put filename instead of UUID in /etc/crypttab if 
you have a swap file and not a swap partition.
The third modification is to actually restart cryptdisk, since 
"/etc/init.d/cryptdisks restart" does nothing (see 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/cryptsetup/vivid/view/head:/debian/cryptdisks.init
 ), the right command is "systemctl restart cryptsetup.target"
