Installing Debian or Trisquel GNU/Linux with full disk encryption (including /boot)

- The libreboot project recommends Debian, because it is more stable and up to date, - while still being entirely free software by default. Leah Rowe, libreboot's - lead maintainer, also uses Debian. See: - ../distros/ -

- Libreboot on x86 uses the GRUB payload - by default, which means that the GRUB configuration file - (where your GRUB menu comes from) is stored directly alongside libreboot - and its GRUB payload executable, inside - the flash chip. In context, this means that installing distributions and managing them - is handled slightly differently compared to traditional BIOS systems. -

- -

- On most systems, the /boot partition has to be left unencrypted while the others are encrypted. - This is so that GRUB, and therefore the kernel, can be loaded and executed since the firmware - can't open a LUKS volume. Not so with libreboot! Since GRUB is already included directly as a - payload, even /boot can be encrypted. This protects /boot from tampering by someone with physical - access to the system. -

- This guide is written for Debian. - This also works in Trisquel 7 (probably Trisquel 8), and probably Trisquel 6. Boot the 'net installer' (Install Trisquel in Text Mode). - How to boot a GNU/Linux installer. -

- This guide is *only* for the GRUB payload. If you use the depthcharge payload, ignore this section entirely. -

- - -

- Note: on some thinkpads, a faulty DVD drive can cause the cryptomount -a step during boot to fail. If this happens to you, try removing the drive. -

Back to previous index

- -

- Set a strong user password (lots of lowercase/uppercase, numbers and symbols). -

- -

- Use of the diceware method is recommended, for generating secure passphrases (instead of passwords). -

- -

- when the installer asks you to set up - encryption (ecryptfs) for your home directory, select 'Yes' if you want to: LUKS is already secure and performs well. Having ecryptfs on top of it - will add noticeable performance penalty, for little security gain in most use cases. This is therefore optional, and not recommended. - Choose 'no'. -

- -

- - Your user password should be different from the LUKS password which you will set later on. - Your LUKS password should, like the user password, be secure. - -

- -

Partitioning

- -

Choose 'Manual' partitioning:

Select drive and create new partition table
- Single large partition. The following are mostly defaults: -
- Use as: physical volume for encryption
- Encryption: aes
- key size: whatever default is given to you
- IV algorithm: whatever default is given to you
- Encryption key: passphrase
- erase data: Yes (only choose 'No' if it's a new drive that doesn't contain your private data)
-
- Select 'configure encrypted volumes' -
- Create encrypted volumes
- Select your partition
- Finish
- Really erase: Yes
- (erase will take a long time. be patient)
- (if your old system was encrypted, just let this run for about a minute to - make sure that the LUKS header is wiped out)
-
- Select encrypted space: -
- use as: physical volume for LVM
- Choose 'done setting up the partition'
-
- Configure the logical volume manager: -
- Keep settings: Yes
-
- Create volume group: -
- Name: matrix (use this exact name)
- Select crypto partition
-
- Create logical volume -
- select matrix (use this exact name)
- name: root (use this exact name)
- size: default, minus 2048 MB
-
- Create logical volume -
- select matrix (use this exact name)
- name: swap (user this exact name)
- size: press enter
-

- -

Further partitioning

- -

- Now you are back at the main partitioning screen. You will simply set mountpoints and filesystems to use. -

- LVM LV root -
- use as: btrfs
- mount point: /
- done setting up partition
-
- LVM LV swap -
- use as: swap area
- done setting up partition
-
Now you select 'Finished partitioning and write changes to disk'.

- -

Kernel

- -

- Installation will ask what kernel you want to use. linux-generic is fine. -

- -

Tasksel (Debian or Trisquel)

- -

- Choose "Trisquel Desktop Environment" if you want GNOME, - "Trisquel-mini Desktop Environment" if you - want LXDE or "Triskel Desktop Environment" if you want KDE. - If you want to have no desktop (just a basic shell) - when you boot or if you want to create your own custom setup, then choose nothing here (don't select anything). - You might also want to choose some of the other package groups; it's up to you. -

- For Debian, use the MATE option, or one of the others if you want. -

- On Debian or Trisquel, you may also want to select the option for a printer server, - so that you can print. -

- If you want debian-testing, then you should only select barebones options here - and change the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list after install to point to the new distro, - and then run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade - as root, then reboot and run tasksel as root. This is to avoid downloading large - packages twice. -

- -

Postfix configuration

- -

- If asked, choose "No Configuration" here (or maybe you want to select something else. It's up to you.) -

- -

Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record

- -

- Choose 'Yes'. It will fail, but don't worry. Then at the main menu, choose 'Continue without a bootloader'. - You could also choose 'No'. Choice is irrelevant here. -

- -

- You do not need to install GRUB at all, since in libreboot you are using the GRUB payload (for libreboot) to boot your system directly. -

- -

Clock UTC

- -

- Just say 'Yes'. -

- -

- Booting your system -

- -

- At this point, you will have finished the installation. At your GRUB payload, press C to get to the command line. -

- -

- Do that:
- grub> cryptomount -a
- grub> set root='lvm/matrix-root'
- grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/matrix-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/matrix-root:root
- grub> initrd /initrd.img
- grub> boot -

- -

- ecryptfs -

- -

- If you didn't encrypt your home directory, then you can safely ignore this section. -

- -

- Immediately after logging in, do that:
- $ sudo ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase -

- -

- This will be needed in the future if you ever need to recover your home directory from another system, so write it down and keep the note - somewhere secret. Ideally, you should memorize it and then burn the note (or not even write it down, and memorize it still)> -

- -

- Modify grub.cfg (CBFS) -

- -

- Now you need to set it up so that the system will automatically boot, without having to type a bunch of commands. -

- -

- Modify your grub.cfg (in the firmware) using this tutorial; - just change the default menu entry 'Load Operating System' to say this inside: -

- -

- cryptomount -a
- set root='lvm/matrix-root'
- linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/matrix-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/matrix-root:root
- initrd /initrd.img -

- -

- Without specifying a device, the -a parameter tries to unlock all detected LUKS volumes. - You can also specify -u UUID or -a (device). -

- -

- Additionally, you should set a GRUB password. This is not your LUKS password, but it's a password that you have to enter to see - GRUB. This protects your system from an attacker simply booting a live USB and re-flashing your firmware. This should be different than your LUKS passphrase and user password. -

- Use of the diceware method is recommended, for generating secure passphrases (as opposed to passwords). -

- -

- The GRUB utility can be used like so:
- $ grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 -

- -

- Give it a password (remember, it has to be secure) and it'll output something like:
- grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.711F186347156BC105CD83A2ED7AF1EB971AA2B1EB2640172F34B0DEFFC97E654AF48E5F0C3B7622502B76458DA494270CC0EA6504411D676E6752FD1651E749.8DD11178EB8D1F633308FD8FCC64D0B243F949B9B99CCEADE2ECA11657A757D22025986B0FA116F1D5191E0A22677674C994EDBFADE62240E9D161688266A711 -

- Use of the diceware method is recommended, for generating secure passphrases (instead of passwords). -

- -

- Put that in the grub.cfg (the one for CBFS inside the ROM) before the 'Load Operating System' menu entry like so (example):
-

-set superusers="root"
-password_pbkdf2 root grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.711F186347156BC105CD83A2ED7AF1EB971AA2B1EB2640172F34B0DEFFC97E654AF48E5F0C3B7622502B76458DA494270CC0EA6504411D676E6752FD1651E749.8DD11178EB8D1F633308FD8FCC64D0B243F949B9B99CCEADE2ECA11657A757D22025986B0FA116F1D5191E0A22677674C994EDBFADE62240E9D161688266A711
-

- MAKE SURE TO DO THIS ON grubtest.cfg *BEFORE* DOING IT ON grub.cfg. - Then select the menu entry that says Switch to grubtest.cfg and test that it works. - Then copy that to grub.cfg once you're satisfied. - WHY? BECAUSE AN INCORRECTLY SET PASSWORD CONFIG MEANS YOU CAN'T AUTHENTICATE, WHICH MEANS 'BRICK'. -

- (emphasis added, because it's needed. This is a common roadblock for users) -

- -

- Obviously, replace it with the correct hash that you actually got for the password that you entered. Meaning, not the hash that you see above! -

- -

- After this, you will have a modified ROM with the menu entry for cryptomount, and the entry before that for the GRUB password. Flash the modified ROM - using this tutorial. -

- -

Troubleshooting

- -

- A user reported issues when booting with a docking station attached - on an X200, when decrypting the disk in GRUB. The error - AHCI transfer timed out was observed. The workaround - was to remove the docking station. -

- -

- Further investigation revealed that it was the DVD drive causing problems. - Removing that worked around the issue. -

- -
