encrypted installation

Postby nadir » Mon Apr 18, 2011 8:11 pm

it might be obvious, but i am lost.

I have choosen the refractainstaller-new
then expert.
I picked to create a separat boot and to create an encrpyted root partition.
I did not chose anything else (write extra-data or create a separate home).

I get this output:
boot_dev is /dev/sda1
Cleaning up...
Creating filesystem on /dev/sda2
You will need to create a passphrase


I sit in front of the screen, waiting for me to enter the password, but nothing seems to happen anymore.
So: is it due to cryptsetup luksOpen simply taking that long, or is something wrong?
It is a very old PC (something like P3 with a bit more than 200MB of Ram).
So i herd u liek mudkip?

Something is definitely wrong. Thanks for pointing it out. Sorry I missed it.

Edited to remove erroneous assumptions about the error.

Tried fixing it and tried disabling error logging, but it's still doing the same thing. I'll have to look into it some more. Meanwhile, use refractainstaller-nogui.sh if you want encrypted partitions.

There's nothing wrong with the installer that's in the released version (6.0.4). The problem is with the .desktop file. Edit /usr/share/refracta-installer-new.desktop to change 'gksu /usr/local/bin/refractainstaller-new' to
Code: Select all
su -c /usr/local/bin/refractainstaller-new
or start the script from a root terminal.

Mhh... first things first.
After the message:
"you will need to create a passphrase"
Shall it go on immediately ?

-------------------------------------
I did a non-encrypted install (to got my daily dose of success), and that ran through without any problems. Awesome on my stoneage PC... awesome. It flies.

Yes, there should be no delay at that point. You should be asked to type YES.

Ok, i think i got it now (just read the bug thread too).
As known i like it chatty (one of the UNIX-things i don't like that much: as long there is no output all is ok... I like a short: "all good". Or kinda like that. I _hate_ that when doing neve-ending tar-operations).
I will try again, but not so soon (else tell me that i shall do so).

No hurry. I got it to run last night by changing the .desktop file. It has to do with gksu, but I'm not sure what the problem is. There was also a problem with gksu in the .desktop file for the Time, Timezone and Keyboard script, and I changed that before the final release. With 'su -c' the first thing that happens is a terminal opens and asks you for a password. It wants the root password.
