Next experiment, same but install 'Lubuntu minimal'. Xubuntu does provide the Guest login account. Īfter removing the old kernel, total 1k blocks used according to df is 2751788, or 77% of the 4 GB drive. The workaround is to just once manually restart lxd and reboot. The new kernel did successfully boot, so the necessary grub magic with LUKS and dm-crypt just worked.ĭuring and after full-upgrade, there is a persistent error on both shutdown and boot about rvice. Also did aptitude full-upgrade, installed a new kernel. Ran tasksel to install 'Xubuntu minimal'.

Hitting Enter after typing the password does not advance a visible cursor to the next line. The grub password prompt, in contrast to the kernel password prompt, does not display a text cursor, so one cannot obviously see if one's keyboard is working properly. grub then finds a keyfile on the unlocked disk and passes it to the kernel.

The amount of time it takes to verify a password differs greatly between them.Īside: describes how to only need to type the password once, into grub. Here are the autogenerated grub.cfg and fstab.īooting requires typing the disk unlock password twice, once for grub, then again for kernel filesystem mount. Use nano as the available editor in the install shell.Īfter grub, install completes successfully. We do 'y' and not '1' as the error message states, because which has not been fixed in this version of Ubuntu. Workaround for this involved getting a shell (ctrl-alt-f2), editing /target/etc/default/grub in the installed system to have GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y. Grub-install: error: attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk enabled. System rescue cd 4.7.3, with docache is nice.ĭuring Ubuntu install, Grub install failed. The next adventure was to repeat the same idea, but all of LVM inside an LUKS/dm-crypt encrypted container.Ĭreated the dm-crypt container with System Rescue CD, because I wanted to customize the number of rounds of password hashing. Here are the autogenerated grub.cfg and fstab. To know for sure what disk is being installed, get a shell (ctrl-alt-f2) and do pvdisplay.Īfter install, this much space was used: (1K blocks) Choosing any of the disks resulted in an error, e.g., 'unable to install grub in /dev/mapper'. Things went smoothly until the grub install step. Select noatime as a filesystem mount option because USB SSD has limited writes. Trying to start gnome-terminal from inside uxterm givesĮrror constructing proxy for :/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for : GDBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process exited with status 8 (Experience was, almost no application starts. Let's see if it works.Īll these experiments were done by installing Ubuntu onto a 4GB USB key, a somewhat unusual install target (and as mentioned above, from USB key as well).įrom experience, choose en_US.UTF-8 locale, not C, because desktop environments fail when there is only a C locale, e.g., terminal programs don't start.

I've been bitten too many times by a too small /boot partition filling up with too many old kernels, so we'd like to avoid a separate /boot partition. It used to be one needed /boot outside of LVM, but nowadays grub has an lvm module. On a Dell optiplex, the key to trigger boot options is F12.įirst interesting experiment was to try to install everything inside LVM, without /boot as a separate partition outside of LVM.

Used mkusb, which requires a ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa The underlying problem with the unetbootin route appears to be Debian/Ubuntu's fault the filenames have length longer than 64 characters in length, violating the Joliet file system standard. Workaround described at, i.e., type help and press enter. This results in 'gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image'. Retried creating using Ubuntu's official tool, usb-creator-gtk. The warning is probably due to or the Ubuntu equivalent. This resulted in ominous warning message on boot saying things might go wrong if one uses unetbootin. Created Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 server installer image on a USB stick with unetbootin.
