View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Volume Encryption Onto Bootable USB Stick?
Aug 27, 2015I have been trying for close to 7 hours now to create a working encrypted bootable usb key for debian now.
I start by running the debian installation dvd (1 of 3. I downloaded and burnt all three ISO's that I found here: [URL] .... (2015-06-06 17:33) to disk), and when I get to the partitioning part, I cannot get an encrypted volume that will hold the root filesystem.
Here is what I have tried:
I have tried the Guided partitioning option to use the entire disk and set up encrypted LVM, to no avail.
I am left with a primary boot partition of 254.8 MB, at ext2 with /boot mountpoint on it, and a logical partition of 15.8 GB, with crypto as it's file system that says it's "not active". This bit here seems to be a running theme as I keep coming back to this set up, (give or take some space arrangement). From what I've read and seen, I should be seeing an Encrypted Volume container similar to LVM, but called an "Encrypted Container" that I can create additional partitions in like / and /home, and what have you.
And I can't "activate" the partition either. I have tried both the Configure Logical Volume Manager, which changed the partition to an LVM partition that dosn't encrypt anything inherently (and I have checked), and I have tried the Configure encrypted volumes option, which leads to the same results basically.
I have tried manually creating the partitions, a 512 MB ext4 /boot partition and then partitioning the rest of the space as "physical volume for encryption" with aes encryption, 256 key size, xts-plain64, Passphrase encryption key, erase data flag, bootable flag off.
Same result, 1 primary boot partition, 1 logical (I later tried making it a primary partition to, with the same results) crypto volume that is "not active".
I also tried setting up the a logical volume manager, which created a container to create additional partitions in which I could encrypt, but it was either a partition dedicated to something (i.e. root (/) or /home, or /swap, etc) or it could be encrypted, but not both. I even tried creating a root partion, and then selecting Configure encrypted volumes, and then selecting the root partition, and here is where I thought I was getting somewhere, because then it comes up giving me all the same options above, but it also specifies mount point under encryption. Which is /, which is what I'm after. So I accept that, and it goes back to being crypto, "not active" and when I check the partition again, the mount point option is gone.
Last thing I tried was going back to having a 512 MB /boot partition, and an encrypted partition set up with Configure encrypted volumes option, and then specifying the encrypted partiton with the Logical Volume Manager as the place to create logical groups and volumes, to little avail. I can create more volumes that are either encrypted, or a useful non encrypted volumes like / (root), /home, /swap, and the like, but not both at the same time.
Following this guide: [URL] ....
This leads me to a useable system, but the system wasn't encrypted. When I booted, I wasn't asked for a passphrase, and I checked the stick with my old linux mint dristro, and I was able to mount the logical volume and look at the contents, /etc, /home, /var by activating the partition in GParted and mounting it.
A number of users seem to mark an encrypted partition as lvm and then create more logical volumes within that that either actually become encrypted, or they don't check. I'm not sure which after my testing.
[URL] .....
I have also read this: [URL] .... and this [URL] .....
I found this which shows the container I believe I should be seeing if I do this right, but I can't get it : [URL] ....
I have also watched movies on youtube about it : [URL] ....
Could the issue be that I'm using a Lexar JumpDrive? 16 GM USB 3.0.
I've gotten debian to run off of it on it's own so I kind of doubt it.
Debian Installation :: Creating Bootable USB Stick From Windows?
Jan 14, 2011I am trying to create a bootable USB stick in Windows to install Debian on my laptop. I have looked at the guide on the [URL] website, but it seems to assume you already have access to a Linux machine with the use of zcat and other extractors. Is there anyway to create a bootable Debian USB stick in Windows? By the way, I'm trying to simply get the USB stick to become bootable and then install the OS through the internet on my laptop. My laptop does not have an optical drive, so I have to do it this way.

Aug 9, 2010I noticed that when using the "daily built images" from Squeeze via Netinst, during the disk partitioner, I am un-able to make the /boot partition bootable.or some reason I can't enable the 'boot' flag on several different ISO attempts and differenthardware vendors. The only thing I can see is that this is an issue with the netinst ISO image from the daily built images. Has anyone seen this or is this a known issue / bug? I don't want to file a bug report if possible but I searched and couldn't find anything on this. I doubt I am the only one who's experienced this so far.

Jul 24, 2010I have a home server set up with samba, proftp, and the torrentflux webUI via apache and mysql. To the best of my ability, I have stripped the system of any unnecessary software.

Using top shows that the processes using the most memory are python, mysqld, and apache2. What the heck is going on?

Aug 10, 2010Running Squeeze here. I added a new SSD to my system. Root is /dev/sda3 and I want to clone that system to the new SSD on /dev/sdb1 and make it bootable. I tried:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ssd_root
cp -dpRx / /mnt/ssd_root
then
update-grub
or
grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt/ssd_root /dev/sdb
but to no avail. I cannot get the new system to be bootable and available through Grub. Part of the problem is that I do not know my way around Grub v2 so well, I could probably manage quite well with legacy grub. So, whats the easiest way to clone a system and make it bootable on another partition? Should I be using debootstrap, and importing/exporting the package list to install the same packages on the new system as the old? or is using cp -dpRx to copy the old ok? How do I make the new system boot?
Debian :: Get Full Installer On Bootable USB Stick
Jun 30, 2010I've been trying to work out how to get a "full" debian installer (ie, not a netinst installer but as much as you'd find on say, the first CD) onto a bootable USB stick.Most of the tutorials I've seen work with the netboot installers only.The installer works until the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step where it wants to mount a CD drive. Won't accept /dev/sdb or whatever device the USB stick is.
Using live-magic with the option to include the installer.The installer works until the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step where it wants to mount a CD drive, as above. This confuses me, since why would live-magic include this capability if it didn't work for a USB stick?

Jan 13, 2011I would like to back up my current system to a bootable memory stick. (I do not want to create an image of the ubuntu installation disk.)
such a backup should not be a big problem---even after updating 350MB of ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I still have only about 3GB used. so, it should all fit easily onto a 4GB stick.
is there a GUI or script solution that will make a full bootable backup of a running ubuntu system (incl root, etc.)?
Fedora Installation :: Can't Install 13 On An 8 GB Memory Stick
Jun 30, 2010I have tried to install F13 on an 8 GB USB memory stick (flash drive, thumb drive) but have had limited success. I used the Live USB Creator method as suggested in the Fedora web site and although I ended up with a bootable USB memory stick, I was unable to save any changes even though I allowed a 2GB persistent overlay.
I then tried to do it using Unetbootin and again got a bootable memory stick but again was unable to save any changes. Could someone explain what I might be doing wrong or is it just not possible to make a bootable memory stick with F12 that will save any changes?
Debian :: Installing Minimal Gnome-shell After Stretch Netinst?
Jan 27, 2016I've just installed debian testing on my computer (netinst AKA basic shell version). Now, how do I do a minimal gnome install? Minimal means, I don't need libreoffice or any extra bloat. However, I do want nautilus, gnome-settings-daemon and networkmanager (and of course, firefox!).
Also, is audio included or not in gnome-shell?
If I just install the gnome-shell package (with --no-install-recommends package), will it pull in gdm, Xorg, etc. or do I have to install them separately? Also, need to confirm whether my sources.list is properly set or not:
Code: Select alldeb http://ftp.security.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
