 Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2018 2:29 am Post subject: [solved]Gnome with systemd and encrypted disk;possible? |
 |
|
I installed gnome on full encrypted disk with openrc (not systemd) referring to https://wycd.net/posts/2015-01-04-gentoo-full-disk-encryption-lvm-on-luks.html and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GNOME/GNOME_Without_systemd.
Now I'm wondering whether installing systemd on encrypted desktop. Theoretically, it looks possible, but actually, every time I tried, I failed (I tried 3 or 4 times). It boots from /lib/systemd/systemd successfully, but after that, the kernel couldn't find any partitions except for root; ie, it cannot find /dev/vg1/boot, /dev/vg1/swap, /dev/vg1/home, and /dev/vg1/var (I don't make partitions for /opt or /usr).
Anyone succeeded to make a systemd Gentoo system on encrypted drive?
I'm installing on a notebook, so an encrypted system is preferable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I cannot see why not. I have gentoo systemd genkernel on an encrypted drive but using plasma.
The setup wiki you have linked to has too many partitions for me.
| Code: |
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─sda2 8:2 0 930.3G 0 part
└─root_sda2-ext4-root 253:0 0 930.3G 0 crypt
├─ext4-root 253:1 0 920.3G 0 lvm /
└─ext4-swap 253:2 0 10G 0 lvm [SWAP]
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

I like to keep things relatively simple.
Also, if you have root mounted you are so close, you just need to tidy mountpoints or so.
I am having issues with the new stable systemd-236-r5 and systemd-journal but this looks to be a permissions issue, I can always rollback.
I think I used this wiki but it is a bit old.

Thank you. But in my case, boot partition is also encrypted in /dev/sda1 (so only one partition). With my reference, it was the only option because my computer is old and not uefi enabled and it looks safe plasma or gnome doesn't matter. But now I could install gnome up and running, so I'm contented.
Thank you.
