Debian Configuration :: OpenSSL Hardware Crypto Acceleration On Marvell ARM (armel)?
May 2, 2011
I recently bought two DreamPlugs and replaced the preinstalled aged Ubuntu 9.04 with Debian Squeeze on them.I built a Marvell Orion 2.6.35 kernel from git. OpenSSL performes lousy on this hardware (my VIA Nano with PadLock support gives me ~690 000k on 8192 size blocks):
I've got this weird problem: when I reboot my Debian 8.3 server, I have to run through the crypto unlocking processes for my encrypted volumes a few times before I actually get to a login screen. The operation times out 85% of the time, leaving me to reboot and try over and over until the system is happy.
Here's my partitioning setup (manually partitioned at install): /boot: 500 MB, EXT2, nodev, nosuid, noexec /tmp: 2 GB, EXT2, AES-256/xts-plain64 with RANDOM KEY swap: 2.5 GB, AES-256/xts-plain 64 with RANDOM KEY /: 35 GB, EXT4, AES-256/xts-plain 64 with PASSPHRASE /var: 35 GB, EXT4, AES-256/xts-plain 64 with PASSPHRASE /home: 45 GB, EXT4, AES-256/xts-plain 64 with PASSPHRASE
Here's the output from journalctl -b -p 3: Code: Select allDate and time | server name | systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-sda5.device Date and time | server name | systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Cryptography Setup for sda5_crypt Date and time | server name | systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Encrypted Volumes Date and time | server name | systemd[1]: Dependency failed for dev-mapper-sda5_crypt.device Date and time | server name | systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /tmp
[Code] ....
I had the same problem in previous builds where I chose Twofish instead of AES, and I was hoping that the timeouts would be fixed by switching to AES as my CPU has the AES instruction set. Obviously that didn't make a damn bit of difference.
What am I doing wrong, or what should I change in my setup? The encryption is a requirement. Could the problem be caused by something as stupid as using a RANDOM KEY instead of a PASSPHRASE on /tmp and swap?
I've been trying to get an ECDSA certificate to work for my postfix installation, however, it seems that when I try to use the aECDSA protocol with a client the server gives "no shared cipher" errors.
I installed new ati radeon drivers in the morning because i was getting display/screen deformation when using some programs (like vertical lines and so on). Now everything is just fine but i can't get 3d accelerator to work and due to this some games are running very slow. I am a new linux user. I have done everything i know and searched this from the internet but i can't get 3d acc. to work again. i have installed new drivers over the old ones (or i don't know; mesa?)
I have built-in-motherboard Ethernet with this MArvell 88e8059 chip. During CentOS 5.5 install it didnt find it. then i found some page here on forums which said how to install sk98lin driver, and several people reported it working after that. Their chips were 8056 and others.. So i decided that should probably work in my case too, i installed it, and then i could see it in Network COnfiguration manager.
But during reboot, it cannot obtain IP information, and in Network Config manager it is "Inactive", setting it to Active fails to obtain IP again...
I've got a Lenny system on a quad core system with 4GB of ram. Currently Linux www 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 25 02:05:44 UTC 2010 x86_64
I've had it for a couple of years, and its been fine, very fast and reliable.
Lately, its got a problem: after its been running for a day or two, access using SSH, or TLS/HTTPS gets really slow. Painfully slow. A reboot returns the system to normal fast operation.
I can't think of anything that has changed, other than I got a new SSL cert and installed it.
The system is mostly a vanity domain server, with Apache HTTPD running a half dozen very low volume services. Its running bind9, mysql, and a few other things, nothing big, nothing that would load down a quad core with lots of ram. The disk is only 14% used.
in order to share profiles between a Mahara and a Moodle installation I need to get OpenSSL working.
I've got OpenSSL installed on the server and followed this tutorial. However, I still get an error message saying that either OpenSSL or PHPs support for OpenSSL are missing: Could not generate a new SSL key. Are you sure that both openssl and the PHP module for openssl are installed on this machine?
What would be the next steps to actually set up the Apache server and PHP so they can use OpenSSL? (I've already specified the path to my caconfig.cnf file in Maharas config.php)
I have an old Lenovo PC on which I have Debian 8.3 64bit with no desktop environment. It has an onboard Marvell 88E8056 NIC that SHOULD be able to run at 1Gb/s but the driver (SKY2) that is loaded will only do 100Mb/s.
So I try to get this thing to work with a new driver.
For that it seems I have to download it from here: [URL] ....
There I download Linux_v10.93.3.3.tar.zip which has directions on how to compile and install the SK98LIN driver.
Since I never done that before, I found this on youtube : [URL] ....
But where for him it does compile, for me it breaks off with saying missing version.h :
.<snip> . Check kernel header versiongrep: /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/source/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory ./functions: line 1117: [: !=: unary operator expected grep: /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/source/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory ./functions: line 1126: [: !=: unary operator expected (Kernel:3.16.0 == Header:) [ OK ] Check kernel functions (Changed: nothing) [ OK ] Compile the kernel (error) [ failed ]
An error has occurred during the compile proces which prevented the installation from completing. Take a look at the log file install.log for more information. Installation of package failed. root@debian:~/setup#
I just installed Debian Stable on an old HP Mini 110-1033CA netbook. glxinfo indicates that I have Intel 945GME graphics. xserver-xorg-video-intel package is installed but neither google-chrome stable nor Firefox 29 appear to be able to use hardware acceleration. "about:support" and "chrome://gpu" both show that hardware acceleration is unavailable.
When I want to install Windows 8 on my virtualbox i get this error
Code: Select allVT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) requireat y this feature. Please ensure thou have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.
On a bunch of servers, we use integrity checking tool on a large amount of data. Therefore, we compute SHA1 hash from a lot of files everyday. The CPU is a "generic" one, enough powerful for normal use, but get's totally saturated when integrity check begins. Is there any kind of server using a crypto-processor so as to delegate crypto functions to this dedicated processor?
How do you find what typs of crypto ciphers are supported.? I've dumped out /proc/crypto, which lists out a bunch of types, but none of the names listed seem to work. So far I have only got a couple types to work, the default(when I don't supply cryptsetup any cipher type) aes-cbc-plain and aes-ecb.
Since I don't even see aes-cbc-plain in /proc/crypto
My system is a 2.0Ghz Dual Core PowerMac G5 Ram 16Gb - 2Tb HDD - It is running Jessie 8.3 [new Install] and seems stable enough.....! My system is showing the message below on boot up, but I don't know why? I have had to disable the 3D video acceleration with a Yaboot parameter "nouveau.noaccel=1' to get the system to load KDE. I am also having some bluetooth headaches (along with many other people apparently).
I initially installed Debian Lenny on my system but couldn't get sound to work so I upgraded to squeeze hoping that the newer kernel would somehow fix that. Unfortunately, the update caused the screen to flash on and off starting at the login screen - I'd get a split second with the screen on and then it would go off for a second or two. The boot screen still allows me to boot from Lenny's linux kernel, and that still works. I also had this problem when I installed ubuntu on this computer so after some searching around I remembered that adding radeon.modeset=0 as a boot option fixed this. Now the screen no longer flashes, but everything is really slow - I think that disabled graphics acceleration? After some searching around it seems that these problems are probably caused by something called KMS in newer linux kernels but I don't really know.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to how I could turn on graphics acceleration again without having the screen flashing on and off? Or suggestions for making sound work? I think in the past (on ubuntu) I ended up having to enable the proprietary graphics driver, but on the other linux distros i've tried I used proprietary graphics and flash and my computer got slower and slower and started to crash, so I'd rather stick to the open source driver if possible - i don't need really need 3d acceleration. Stability is the reason I switched to debian. My computer is running Debian squeeze amd64, intel core 2 duo e8400, ati radeon 4830, 4 gigs of ram. relevant results from lspci: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 LE [Radeon HD 4800 Series] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio maybe part of the audio problem is that there are two audio devices listed?
I've made a persistent live USB out of an amd64 Cinnamon iso, but it has problems running on my old Dell XPS Studio 16.The laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670, and all needed packages are installed (Xorg, libgl1-mesa-dri, xserver-xorg-video-radeon and firmware-linux-nonfree), but the system starts without video hardware acceleration.I've read that I have, in this case, to tell to use the srivers in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To do it, I first stop lightdm and do it in tty, but it fails with a long output.how can I give you that tty output? I tried both with > and with tee, but the file I indicate as output is created empty.
Here it seems as if the mouse is recognized twice, once as a mouse and once as a keyboard, where it says "Cooler Master Storm Havoc Mouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1" so I'm wondering if this is what causing the problem with mouse acceleration not working.
However my USB headset also seems to be recognized as a keyboard in the xorg log, but it works just fine. In xinput list and xfce mouse settings, the mouse is listed twice and even the keyboard is listed as a mouse.
I installed Lenny on my HP/Compaq nx6125 (the Sempron 32 bit model). Although X is running OK, I can't get video acceleration working. Games like Nexuiz are unusable, and programs like Stellarium and Google Earth simply fail to load. i attached some information below.
Currently, I had the free radeon driver installed. The non-free fglxr drivers are available, but I read that they do not support old chipsets like the 200M. I would like to know some pointers or instructions on how to get acceleration working. Most of the information I read seems to be outdated.
I just set up my Debian Squeeze (previously I was an Ubuntu/Kubuntu user) with KDE and Catalyst 10.8 to run my HD5070 graphics card. I've read alot on various forums of all the 5xxx users like me unable to properly setup the system and others who say thier video watching, wine game playing and composition are working fine. The problem is tearing while playing video or manipulating windows within the DE. I have read ALOT about this subject as it is obviously very important to me. I've read alot 60+ page threads on phoronics full of names like xv and libva and about using mplayer with gl so on and so forth. Problem is, I can't find a wiki to explain how they mesh together. My questions are:
1. Are certain libraries compiled with acceleration support? 2. If so, why are other libraries not compiled with acceleration support? 3. I get a feeling the libraries these guys are using are different ffmpeg and stuff that those in the repos. Are they? 4. If so, where do you get them?
In short, how does one get compositing and watch a movie tear free (the tearing occurs with or without compositing)? No amount of xorg.conf playing fixes it and the driver is properly installed with direct rendering.
Running Squeeze, with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I do not find out how to enable 3d acceleration with my Intel 945 embedded graphics card. Also having very (i mean VERY) slow scrolling in some webpages (such as apple website, or danielestulin.com website). I tested the following "Hardware Acceleration Stress Test" with Epiphany, Iceweasel and Firefox, and the best rate I get is only 3 fps...[URL].. I tested the Chess game included with default Squeeze install, running in 3d mode, and definetely there is no acceleration at all...
Here's my glxinfo output: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions:
All of the videos on tennistv are flash. The pre-recorded videos seem to play okay using iceweasel and flashplugin-nonfree but the CPU is very high. When she watches live streamed matches the video stalls and jumps, so I have been trying to figure out why. Tennistv support people say that Linux isn't supported and that streaming is "harder" but don't explain why. They suggested using Google chrome, which did seem to work as well as iceweasel but no better. In desparation I tried XP and it was much better and uses much less CPU.
The only difference I could think of was that flash video hardware acceleration works by default in XP, so I started reading up on Flash video acceleration for linux. The latest Adobe flash player releases appear to support video acceleration, but it's switched off by default. So I upgraded to the latest version and did and then restarted iceweasal if you right click on a flash video you can set hardware acceleration in a tick box, but that seems to be there whether the above is config file is there or not there isn't a live tennis match on again until June 6th. How can I tell if hardware acceleration is actually working or not? The PC is has a 3GHz CPU and 1G RAM. Seems nuts that it can't play video properly. Its a Dell SX280.
I'm having Asus F5RL Notebook and having ATI Radeon Xpress 1100. I can watch movie and play games in GL before this. Now everything seems very very slow after a full system upgrade. (Suspected xorg causing the problem)
I'm following the [URL]..AtiHowTo to setup my graphic card. How to remove/change software rasterizer to hardware acceleration? I'm enjoying full hardware speed before this dear experienced user
I recently installed Debian Jessie on my computer with M2A-VM motherboard and Radeon X1250 graphics card. The problem I am having is some games are running extremely slow, Torc and Mame64. I ran glxgears and it displayed gears running nicely. I ran glxinfo and it said direct rendering yes. It also displayed a lot of lined ending with none or slow. How I can make the graphics card run faster?
I've been trying to get hardware acceleration (Direct Rendering) working on my system without success. I'm not even sure if my card supports DR or not, my searchs haven't turned up a result for this question. I don't know if its the video card, nvidia packages or bad configurations. Any help with the diagnosis?
I'm running hardware already considered legacy and I was made painfully aware that those drivers, for ATI cards, are only available from Jessie repositories; yet, somehow I was able to have my system configured to run not the stock drivers the system used for installation but, allegedly, proprietary drivers.
I did notice an overall improvement on how the system displays everything on the screen but after fumbling around the system trying to install a game I had a message warning that only software acceleration was activated and not full hardware acceleration, which was what I was aiming at.
After going through a lot of guides on the web I was able to:
a) discover the system is running MESA drivers (or so I have understood) b) install headers for my system but somehow along the way I fumbled whatever I was doing and I probably now have a lot of loose ends in the system
Being Debian (and rock solid) the system is still running smoothly but I really want to clean up after myself and correct what I can and improve where is possible.
Usually, someone has already asked the question I need an answer to. My issue is that my onboard gig-e NIC isnt getting a MAC address. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to getting it to work with built in kernel modules. I have a hack to make it work by manually setting it in rc.local. Sadly, this NIC works perfectly well under WinDos. I want to learn how to troubleshoot this kind of thing better, so even if you don't have an answerHere's some info:#lspci -v
During Karmic betas, my Marvell 88E8056 did not work at all. When Karmic got released, it started working but after December update, become terribly unstable, disconnecting like every 5 minutes. It is integrated on P5Q-E mobo. Luckily, I also have Marvell 88E8001 so I switched and it works. I was thinking that new kernel broke driver, and thought that next update will fix it. But yesterday I needed both NICs, and 88E8056 is still did not work. I am using .31-17 kernel. So I do not know if my NIC died or what? Can someone with same NIC say if it works for him? Does it work in Lucid Alpha 1 ?
I'm currently experiencing some strange troubles installing ubuntu 10.04 /10.10 (tried both, same issue). My network connection appears to fail after some very small amount of packet is sent/received. Searched a bit around the forums here, and ended up installing the Marvell drivers (v10.87.3.3) with success. However, the issue remains. Here's the relevant info:
