Install Void Linux with near-full-disk encryption |

EDIT: in /etc/default/extlinux.conf, changed CMDLINE to have quiet before loglevel
Hi folks! I managed to install Void Linux on my Pinebook Pro with working near-full-disk encryption. This means that everything is encrypted except /boot because extlinux doesn't know how to open a crypt volume to load the kernel from there.
It is possible to install GRUB, and have complete encryption of everything except the GRUB loader—I once had this setup with Manjaro—but I found it a bit flakey in that approximately one out of ten boots, it would not find the crypt volume, and I had to reboot. Also, decrypting the key takes GRUB about 4 minutes because the CPU frequency is set to minimum before boot. Therefore I chose to use an unencrypted /boot, and have the password prompted by the initramfs, which will open the crypt volume in reasonable time, and (so far) works every time.
I want to thank Rudis Muiznieks for figuring most of this out already; his guide can be found at https://rdsm.ca/3lwh2, and was my main source of inspiration.
Let's begin…
What do you need?
- A Pinebook Pro
- A free eMMC, SD card, or USB drive to perform the installation on
- A second SD card or USB drive with at least 4GB
- A second system (could be the same Pinebook Pro running another system, or a different PC/laptop) to prepare the second SD card
- An hour or so to follow this guide; further configuration will take more time
Prepare the Pinebook Pro
If you haven't installed it already, download and install Tow-Boot (https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases) as it will make booting much easier (no more need to have U-Boot on every medium). You can do without but then you'll have to remember to flash U-Boot back to eMMC after deleting everything on it but before rebooting the first time. The steps are in the guide below, just in case.
Prepare the second SD card or USB drive
Download Cameron Nemo's unofficial Void Linux image (https://repo.nohom.org/void/images/void-...530.img.xz), and flash it to the SD card or USB drive. Assuming you are using an SD card, and download on the Pinebook Pro using a system that runs a Manjaro kernel, this can be done like this:
Code: wget https://repo.nohom.org/void/images/void-pinebookpro-20220530.img.xz
blkdiscard -f /dev/mmcblk1
xzcat void-pinebookpro-20220530.img.xz|sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1 obs=4M status=progress;sync
Please double-check you have the correct device name; also, if you use a USB drive instead of an SD card, blkdiscard will probably not work; don't worry about it.
As the image comes tightly packed, you will have to extend the root partition, and its file system. To resize the partition, you have to delete and recreate it:
- Run sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk1
- Press p and Enter to display the partitions; take note of the starting sector of partition 2, just in case
- Press d and Enter to delete partition 2
- Press n and three times Enter to create a new partition 2 which starts at the same sector as before, and uses the whole available space (please double-check the suggested values before pressing Enter; if it does not give you the same starting sector, enter it manually instead of just pressing Enter)
- Press n and Enter when fdisk asks whether to erase the file system signature
- Press p and Enter to display the partitions again; double-check that everything looks good
- Press w and Enter to write the partition table, and exit fdisk
Now the file system can be resized wth the following command:
Code: sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk1p2
Mount the file system, and copy the image onto it:
Code: sudo mount -o rw,noatime /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt
sudo cp void-pinebookpro-20220530.img.xz /mnt/root
sudo umount /mnt
Now you are ready to boot from this SD card or USB drive.
Boot the Pinebook Pro from the just prepared SD card or USB drive
For the purpose of preparing ths guide, I used a small (8GB) SD card for this step, a USB card reader to plug it in for booting, and a bigger (64GB) SD card to install the final system on. If you are installing to eMMC, the steps will be the same but instead of performing them on /dev/mmcblk1 (the SD card in the PBP's internal reader), you wiill perform them on /dev/mmcblk2 (the PBP's eMMC). As always, please verify you are using the correct device name, and make sure you substitute as necessary in the below steps.
Boot from the newly prepared medium (in my case, from USB via a USB card reader), and log in as root with password voidlinux. If you have the ISO keyboard, and using a US layout by default bothers you, perform the following line of code, and reboot:
Code: echo 'KEYMAP="uk"' >>/etc/rc.conf
Set up WiFi using the commands below, substituting YourSSID and YourPwd wth your WFi credentials:
Code: cp -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
wpa-passphrase YourSSID YourPwd >>/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
for i in dhcpcd wpa_supplicant;do ln -s /etc/sv/$i /var/service/;done
Now your WiFi should work (if not, double-check that you are using the correct credentials). Update xbps and install some necessary tools:
Code: xbps-install -Syu xbps
xbps-install -y cryptsetup lvm2 nano xz
Prepare your installation target, i.e. the eMMC or SD card
If your installation will be to the eMMC, use /dev/mmcblk2. In my case, I wll use an SD card, and therefore the steps wll use /dev/mmcblk1. Please adjust as necessary:
Code: blkdscard -f /dev/mmcblk1
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF

EOF
The size of partition 2 is calculated to fit on the 64GB eMMC (it also fits on the SD card I was using). If your target medium has a different size, recalculate the size (I am using a number that divides by 8192 so that the end of the partition is on a 4MB boundary, but that's just me). Partitions 7, 8, and 9 are not strictly necessary but they provide some protection against accidentally deleting the boot loader.
Copy U-Boot from the boot medium to the target (please make sure you use the correct device names). This is not needed if you use Tow-Boot but absolutely don't forget this step if you are not using any U-Boot in SPI!

Configure extlinux and rebuild initramfs so the system can boot
Code: # Edit /etc/default/extlinux, and make sure the CMDLINE looks as follows:
# CMDLINE="panic=10 coherent_pool=1M console=ttyS2,1500000 console=tty0 quiet loglevel=3 ro rootwait root=LABEL=void_root rd.auto=1 cryptdevice=PARTLABEL=mmc_root:pbp0"
nano /etc/default/extlinux
echo 'hostonly="yes"' >/etc/dracut.conf.d/hostonly.conf
cat >/etc/kernel.d/post-install/99-zzzz-backup-boot <<EOF
PKGNAME="$1"
VERSION="$2"
usr/bin/tar --posix --numeric-owner --xattrs --acls -cpSC /boot .|usr/bin/bzip2 -9 >/boot-${VERSION}.tbz
exit 0
EOF
xbps-reconfigure -f pinebookpro-kernel
Finish up with the following commands
Code: exit
umount -R /mnt
halt
Remove all unnecessary media, and boot from the just installed system
If you are prompted for the encryption password, you have successfully installed Void Linux! Let's log in as root using the password you set earlier, and run a few commands to finsh up the minimal configuration:
Code: for i in socklog-unix nanoklogd wpa-supplicant dhcpcd;do ln -s /etc/sv/$i /var/service/;done
xbps-install -Syu
Because the above created script for backing up /boot is a crude hack, best to reboot now, and run the following commands:
Code: vkpurge rm all
xbps-reconfigure -f pinebookpro-kernel
Now you can create snapshots of ths new, clean, and working setup:
Code: for i in '' home opt tmp var var.tmp;do btrfs subv snap -r /.toplevel/@$i /.snapshots/YYYYMMDD-justinstalled-@$i;done
Replace YYYYMMDD with the current date as appropriate. If you ever bork up your system, and need to restore from a snapshot, keep that small SD card or USB drive with the initial Void Linux image handy, as you can use it to restore the snapshots like so (check the device names):
Code: cryptsetup open /dev/disk/by-partlabel/mmc_root pbp0
vgchange -a y
mount -o rw,noatime,commit=120,compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2,subvol=/ /dev/vgvoid/root /mnt
for i in '' home opt tmp var var.tmp;do
btrfs subv del /mnt/@$i
btrfs subv snap /mnt/@snap/YYYYMMDD-your-description-@$i /mnt/@$i
done
umount /mnt
halt
Congratulations!
This concludes your installation of Void Linux with encrypted root. It is, of course, very bare-bones, has no user account, and no GUI. But from here on, you can employ any generic guide for Void Linux regarding the further configuration.

Hey all,
Lately I've been curious abour Arch on the pinephone, and have some questions about it!
1) how stable is it? Is it could for daily drivin?
2) What are some of the current issues that users are facin with it?
3) What apps can you install on it? Can you use Chatty?
4) Can you use Lomiri with it? I've always liked that de, but don't really like ubuntu touch itself
5) Is Arch easy to install?
Thanks!

| Improper Storage After Flashing Mobian |

Hey all,
Recently I decided to do a fresh install of Mobian, and have discovered that we are now usin tow boot. I was able to install that just fine, but whenever I try to flash an image to internal storage with balena etcher I end up with only 5 gigs of space dedicated to it...? Not sure what I'm doin wrong.
After holding the power and volume button and mounting it, it comes up as Linux UMS_disk_0 (boot, rootfs) in balena etcher. I've never seen any other listin. Am I missin somethin?
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Edit: After flashin I opened up gnome disks on my pc and just increased storage myself. Seems to be workin fine so far!

Pinebook Pro shows only bright white screen when powered on |

Hello,
I received my Pinebook Pro in Spring 2021. I last used it about one month ago, and left it disconnected. So, the battery has completely drained.
I've been charging it using the barrel charger for more than twelve hours. When I turn it on, the green power light comes on, and the screen comes up bright white. After ten seconds or so, the backlight dims a bit so it's a softer white. At that point, I can do things like toggle num lock on my external keyboard.
I don't think it is an OS issue, because it booted completely fine a month ago and I haven't touched it. But just in case, I am using hand-debootstrapped Debian "bullseye" with a custom kernel build using Manjaro's patches as of a year ago, and stock Debian u-boot.
Any ideas about what these symptoms could indicate? Really hope it is not bricked! I don't have UART, but I could get one if it's not just that the screen is completely dead.
Thanks.

| Phone carriers and the Speakout carrier |

Currently, I'm on the Speakout phone plan. I'm using my 10-12 year old Samsung phone, and it works fine, but I've wanted a tinker phone with pure Linux for several years.
I'm interested in going down the rabbit hole to try my SIM card on a Pine Phone Beta Edition. I'd like to know if anyone has used the Speakout carrier on the Pine Phone and what experience they've had with it.
Are all carriers generally the same in terms of call reliability?

Has anyone managed to get ov5647 to work on Quartz64 or Soquartz? I've spent last few days on it and despite the configuration being correct I can't get the mipi csi to see the data.
So if you do have ov5647 working on Quartz64 /Soquartz or a similar mcy please post the DTS that works for you.

| Expose /dev/mali0 in armbian |

Hi all,
I am managing a cluster of Rock64/RockPro64 and I need access to the GPU cycle counters (I already got access to CPU cycle counter) of the Mali T860 included in the board. I am trying to use the HWCPipe (https://github.com/ARM-software/HWCPipe) interface to get the CPU counters. However, this library tries to use /dev/mali0 to interact with the GPU, which is not exposed to the user in armbian using the Panfrost driver.
I have tried several ways of installing the mali midgard driver without success so far. Besides, I have tried to use /dev/dri/card1 (and 0) as resource for HWCPipe, but it doesn't work either.
Does someone know how I could expose the /dev/mali0 interface to userspace using panfrost driver or how to install mali-midgard driver in the last armbian version (kernel 5.15.48)?
The same posted here applies for Rock64 with lima driver for Mali-400 GPU, just in case...

| WiFi Signal Strength? |

I have a Pinebook Pro from the original first batch. I've noticed that the WiFi signal strength is much lower on the PBP than with my other devices. This happens in both 2.4 and 5 GHZ. I re-seated the antenna connector and that didn't change anything. I'm running Manjaro with all the latest updates. I have disabled Bluetooth (through the GUI) and that didn't seem to help. Is there anything else that I should be trying?
Yes, I'm just noticing the signal weakness now because I've only recently started taking the PBP with me to places where I need to use public WiFi.
Thank you,
B34N

Listening to podcasts using gnome-podcasts (flatpak) was working fine until last weekend. It no longer prevents the system from suspend.
The log shows
Code: xdg-desktop-por[1103]: A backend call failed: Inhibiting other than idle not supported

Any idea where to start hunting this issue?
