% Installing Parabola or Arch GNU+Linux with full disk encryption (including /boot)

Libreboot on x86 uses the GRUB payload by default, which means that the GRUB configuration file (where your GRUB menu comes from) is stored directly alongside libreboot and it's GRUB payload executable, inside the flash chip. In context, this means that installing distributions and managing them is handled slightly differently compared to traditional BIOS systems.

On most systems, the /boot partition has to be left unencrypted while the others are encrypted. This is so that GRUB, and therefore the kernel, can be loaded and executed since the firmware can't open a LUKS volume. Not so with libreboot! Since GRUB is already included directly as a payload, even /boot can be encrypted. This protects /boot from tampering by someone with physical access to the system.

This guide is *only* for the GRUB payload. If you use the depthcharge payload, ignore this section entirely.

This guide is intended for the Parabola distribution, but it should also work (with some adaptation) for Arch. We recomend using Parabola, which is a version of Arch that removes all proprietary software, both in the default installation and in the package repositories. It usually lags behind Arch by only a day or two, so it is still usable for most people. See Arch to Parabola migration guide.

Note: on some thinkpads, a faulty DVD drive can cause the cryptomount -a step during boot to fail. If this happens to you, try removing the drive.

Boot Parabola's install environment. How to boot a GNU+Linux installer.

For this guide I used the 2015 08 01 image to boot the live installer and install the system. This is available at this page.

This guide will go through the installation steps taken at the time of writing, which may or may not change due to the volatile nature of Parabola (it changes all the time). In general most of it should remain the same. If you spot mistakes, please say so! This guide will be ported to the Parabola wiki at a later date. For up to date Parabola install guide, go to the Parabola wiki. This guide essentially cherry picks the useful information (valid at the time of writing: 2015-08-25).

This section deals with wiping the storage device on which you plan to install Parabola GNU+Linux. Follow these steps, but if you use an SSD, also:

• beware there are issues with TRIM (not enabled through luks) and security issues if you do enable it. See this page for more info.

• make sure it's brand-new (or barely used). Or, otherwise, be sure that it never previously contained plaintext copies of your data.

• make sure to read this article. Edit /etc/fstab later on when chrooted into your install. Also, read the whole article and keep all points in mind, adapting them for this guide.

Securely wipe the drive:

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda; sync

NOTE: If you have an SSD, only do this the first time. If it was already LUKS-encrypted before, use the info below to wipe the LUKS header. Also, check online for your SSD what the recommended erase block size is. For example if it was 2MiB:

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=2M; sync

If your drive was already LUKS encrypted (maybe you are re-installing your distro) then it is already 'wiped'. You should just wipe the LUKS header. https://www.lisenet.com/2013/luks-add-keys-backup-and-restore-volume-header/ showed me how to do this. It recommends doing the first 3MiB. Now, that guide is recommending putting zero there. I'm going to use urandom. Do this:

# head -c 3145728 /dev/urandom > /dev/sda; sync

(Wiping the LUKS header is important, since it has hashed passphrases and so on. It's 'secure', but 'potentially' a risk).

Change keyboard layout

Parabola live shell assumes US Qwerty. If you have something different, list the available keymaps and use yours:

# localectl list-keymaps
# loadkeys LAYOUT

For me, LAYOUT would have been dvorak-uk.

Establish an internet connection

Refer to this guide. Wired is recommended, but wireless is also explained there.

Getting started

The beginning is based on https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Installation_Guide. Then I referred to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning at first.

dm-mod

device-mapper will be used - a lot. Make sure that the kernel module is loaded:

# modprobe dm-mod

Create LUKS partition

Note that the default iteration time is 2000ms (2 seconds) if not specified in cryptsetup. You should set a lower time than this, otherwise there will be an approximate 20 second delay when booting your system. We recommend 500ms (0.5 seconds), and this is included in the prepared cryptsetup command below. Note that the iteration time is for security purposes (mitigates brute force attacks), so anything lower than 5 seconds is probably not ok.

I am using MBR partitioning, so I use cfdisk:

# cfdisk /dev/sda

I create a single large sda1 filling the whole drive, leaving it as the default type 'Linux' (83).

Now I refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Drive_preparation#Partitioning:\ I am then directed to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption.

Parabola forces you to RTFM. Do that.

It tells me to run:

# cryptsetup benchmark (for making sure the list below is

populated)\ Then:

# cat /proc/crypto

This gives me crypto options that I can use. It also provides a representation of the best way to set up LUKS (in this case, security is a priority; speed, a distant second). To gain a better understanding, I am also reading:

# man cryptsetup

Following that page, based on my requirements, I do the following based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Encryption_options_for_LUKS_mode. Reading through, it seems like Serpent (encryption) and Whirlpool (hash) is the best option.

I am initializing LUKS with the following:\ # cryptsetup -v --cipher serpent-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash whirlpool --iter-time 500 --use-random --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sda1 Choose a secure passphrase here. Ideally lots of lowercase/uppercase numbers, letters, symbols etc all in a random pattern. The password length should be as long as you are able to handle without writing it down or storing it anywhere.

Use of the diceware method is recommended, for generating secure passphrases (instead of passwords).

Create LVM

Now I refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LVM.

Open the LUKS partition:

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 lvm

(it will be available at /dev/mapper/lvm)

Create LVM partition:

# pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm

Show that you just created it:

# pvdisplay

Now I create the volume group, inside of which the logical volumes will be created:

# vgcreate matrix /dev/mapper/lvm

(volume group name is 'matrix' - choose your own name, if you like) Show that you created it:

# vgdisplay

Now create the logical volumes:

# lvcreate -L 2G matrix -n swapvol (2G swap partition, named

swapvol)\ Again, choose your own name if you like. Also, make sure to choose a swap size of your own needs. It basically depends on how much RAM you have installed. I refer to http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space.

# lvcreate -l +100%FREE matrix -n root (single large partition in

the rest of the space, named root)\ You can also be flexible here, for example you can specify a /boot, a /, a /home, a /var, a /usr, etc. For example, if you will be running a web/mail server then you want /var in its own partition (so that if it fills up with logs, it won't crash your system). For a home/laptop system (typical use case), a root and a swap will do (really).

Verify that the logical volumes were created, using the following command:

# lvdisplay

Create / and swap partitions, and mount

For the swapvol LV I use:

# mkswap /dev/mapper/matrix-swapvol

Activate swap:

# swapon /dev/matrix/swapvol

For the root LV I use:

# mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/matrix-root

Mount the root (/) partition:

# mount /dev/matrix/root /mnt

Continue with Parabola installation

This guide is really about GRUB, Parabola and cryptomount. I have to show how to install Parabola so that the guide can continue.

Now I am following the rest of https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Installation_Guide. I also cross referenced https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide.

Create /home and /boot on root mountpoint:

# mkdir -p /mnt/home
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot

Once all the remaining partitions, if any, have been mounted, the devices are ready to install Parabola.

In /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, comment out all lines except the Server line closest to where you are (I chose the UK Parabola server (main server)) and then did:

# pacman -Syy
# pacman -Syu
# pacman -Sy pacman (and then I did the other 2 steps above,

again)\ In my case I did the steps in the next paragraph, and followed the steps in this paragraph again.

\    The following is based on 'Verification of package signatures' in the Parabola install guide.\    Check there first to see if steps differ by now.\    Now you have to update the default Parabola keyring. This is used for signing and verifying packages:\    # pacman -Sy parabola-keyring\    It says that if you get GPG errors, then it's probably an expired key and, therefore, you should do:\    # pacman-key --populate parabola\    # pacman-key --refresh-keys\    # pacman -Sy parabola-keyring\    To be honest, you should do the above anyway. Parabola has a lot of maintainers, and a lot of keys. Really!\    If you get an error mentioning dirmngr, do:\    # dirmngr </dev/null\    Also, it says that if the clock is set incorrectly then you have to manually set the correct time\    (if keys are listed as expired because of it):\    # date MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]\    I also had to install:\    # pacman -S archlinux-keyring\    # pacman-key --populate archlinux\    In my case I saw some conflicting files reported in pacman, stopping me from using it.\    I deleted the files that it mentioned and then it worked. Specifically, I had this error:\    licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/MPS exists in filesystem\    I rm -Rf'd the file and then pacman worked. I'm told that the following would have also made it work:\    # pacman -Sf licenses\

I also like to install other packages (base-devel, compilers and so on) and wpa_supplicant/dialog/iw/wpa_actiond are needed for wireless after the install:\ # pacstrap /mnt base base-devel wpa_supplicant dialog iw wpa_actiond

Configure the system

Generate an fstab - UUIDs are used because they have certain advantages (see https://wiki.parabola.nu/Fstab#Identifying_filesystems. If you prefer labels instead, replace the -U option with -L):

# genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Check the created file:

# cat /mnt/etc/fstab

(If there are any errors, edit the file. Do NOT run the genfstab command again!)

Chroot into new system:

# arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

It's a good idea to have this installed:

# pacman -S linux-libre-lts

It was also suggested that you should install this kernel (read up on what GRSEC is):

# pacman -S linux-libre-grsec

This is another kernel that sits inside /boot, which you can use. LTS means 'long-term support'. These are so-called 'stable' kernels that can be used as a fallback during updates, if a bad kernel causes issues for you.

Parabola does not have wget. This is sinister. Install it:

# pacman -S wget

Locale:

# vi /etc/locale.gen

Uncomment your needed localisations. For example en_GB.UTF-8 (UTF-8 is highly recommended over other options).

# locale-gen
# echo LANG=en\_GB.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
# export LANG=en\_GB.UTF-8

Console font and keymap:

# vi /etc/vconsole.conf

In my case:

KEYMAP=dvorak-uk
FONT=lat9w-16

Time zone:

# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime

(Replace Zone and Subzone to your liking. See /usr/share/zoneinfo)

Hardware clock:

# hwclock --systohc --utc

Hostname: Write your hostname to /etc/hostname. For example, if your hostname is parabola:

# echo parabola > /etc/hostname

Add the same hostname to /etc/hosts:

# vi /etc/hosts

#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost   parabola
::1     localhost.localdomain   localhost   parabola

Configure the network: Refer to https://wiki.parabola.nu/Beginners%27_guide#Configure_the_network.

Mkinitcpio: Configure /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as needed (see https://wiki.parabola.nu/Mkinitcpio). Runtime modules can be found in /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks, and build hooks can be found in /usr/lib/initcpio/install. (# mkinitcpio -H hookname gives information about each hook.) Specifically, for this use case:

# vi /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Then modify the file like so:

• MODULES="i915"
• This forces the driver to load earlier, so that the console font isn't wiped out after getting to login). Macbook21 users will also need hid-generic, hid and hid-apple to have a working keyboard when asked to enter the LUKS password.
• HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck shutdown"
• Explanation:
• keymap adds to initramfs the keymap that you specified in /etc/vconsole.conf
• consolefont adds to initramfs the font that you specified in /etc/vconsole.conf
• encrypt adds LUKS support to the initramfs - needed to unlock your disks at boot time
• lvm2 adds LVM support to the initramfs - needed to mount the LVM partitions at boot time
• shutdown is needed according to Parabola wiki for unmounting devices (such as LUKS/LVM) during shutdown)

Now using mkinitcpio, you can create the kernel and ramdisk for booting with (this is different from Arch, specifying linux-libre instead of linux):

# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre

Also do it for linux-libre-lts:

# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre-lts

Also do it for linux-libre-grsec:

# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre-grsec

Set the root password: At the time of writing, Parabola used SHA512 by default for its password hashing. I referred to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SHA_password_hashes.

# vi /etc/pam.d/passwd

Add rounds=65536 at the end of the uncommented 'password' line.

# passwd root

Make sure to set a secure password! Also, it must never be the same as your LUKS password.

Use of the diceware method is recommended, for generating secure passphrases (instead of passwords).

Extra security tweaks

Based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Security.

Restrict access to important directories:

# chmod 700 /boot /etc/{iptables,arptables}

Lockout user after three failed login attempts:\ Edit the file /etc/pam.d/system-login and comment out that line:\ # auth required pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog\ Or just delete it. Above it, put:\ auth required pam_tally.so deny=2 unlock_time=600 onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog\ To unlock a user manually (if a password attempt is failed 3 times), do:

# pam\_tally --user *theusername* --reset What the above

configuration does is lock the user out for 10 minutes, if they make 3 failed login attempts.

Configure sudo - not covered here. Will be covered post-installation in another tutorial, at a later date. If this is a single-user system, you don't really need sudo.

Unmount, reboot!

Exit from chroot:

# exit

unmount:

# umount -R /mnt
# swapoff -a

deactivate the lvm lv's:

# lvchange -an /dev/matrix/root
# lvchange -an /dev/matrix/swapvol

Lock the encrypted partition (close it):

# cryptsetup luksClose lvm

# shutdown -h now

Remove the installation media, then boot up again.

Booting from GRUB

Initially you will have to boot manually. Press C to get to the GRUB command line. The underlined parts are optional (using those 2 underlines will boot lts kernel instead of normal).

grub> cryptomount -a
grub> set root='lvm/matrix-root'\

grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-lts root=/dev/matrix/root cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:root

grub> initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-lts.img
grub> boot\

You could also make it load /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-grsec and /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-grsec.img

Follow-up tutorial: configuring Parabola

We will modify grub.config inside the ROM and do all kinds of fun stuff, but I recommend that you first transform the current bare-bones Parabola install into a more useable system. Doing so will make the upcoming ROM modifications MUCH easier to perform and less risky! configuring_parabola.html shows my own notes post-installation. Using these, you can get a basic system similar to the one that I chose for myself. You can also cherry pick useful notes and come up with your own system. Parabola is user-centric, which means that you are in control. For more information, read The Arch Way (Parabola also follows it).

Modify grub.cfg inside the ROM

(Re-)log in to your system, pressing C, so booting manually from GRUB (see above). You need to modify the ROM, so that Parabola can boot automatically with this configuration. grub_cbfs.html shows you how. Follow that guide, using the configuration details below. If you go for option 2 (re-flash), promise to do this on grubtest.cfg first! We can't emphasise this enough. This is to reduce the possibility of bricking your device!

I will go for the re-flash option here. Firstly, cd to the libreboot_util/cbfstool/{armv7l i686 x86_64} directory. Dump the current firmware - where libreboot.rom is an example: make sure to adapt:

# flashrom -p internal -r libreboot.rom

If flashrom complains about multiple flash chips detected, add a -c option at the end, with the name of your chosen chip is quotes.\ You can check if everything is in there (grub.cfg and grubtest.cfg would be really nice):

$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom print

Extract grubtest.cfg:

$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom extract -n grubtest.cfg -f grubtest.cfg\

And modify:

$ vi grubtest.cfg

In grubtest.cfg, inside the 'Load Operating System' menu entry, change the contents to:

cryptomount -a

set root='lvm/matrix-root'

linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-lts root=/dev/matrix/root cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:root

initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-lts.img

Note: the underlined parts above (-lts) can also be removed, to boot the latest kernel instead of LTS (long-term support) kernels. You could also copy the menu entry and in one have -lts, and without in the other menuentry. You could also create a menu entry to load /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-grsec and /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-grsec.img The first entry will load by default.

Without specifying a device, the -a parameter tries to unlock all detected LUKS volumes. You can also specify -u UUID or -a (device).

Refer to this guide for further guidance on hardening your GRUB configuration, for security purposes.

Save your changes in grubtest.cfg, then delete the unmodified config from the ROM image:

$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom remove -n grubtest.cfg

and insert the modified grubtest.cfg:\ \$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom add -n grubtest.cfg -f grubtest.cfg -t raw

Now refer to http://libreboot.org/docs/install/#flashrom. Cd (up) to the libreboot_util directory and update the flash chip contents:

# ./flash update libreboot.rom

Ocassionally, coreboot changes the name of a given board. If flashrom complains about a board mismatch, but you are sure that you chose the correct ROM image, then run this alternative command:

# ./flash forceupdate libreboot.rom

You should see "Verifying flash... VERIFIED." written at the end of the flashrom output.

With this new configuration, Parabola can boot automatically and you will have to enter a password at boot time, in GRUB, before being able to use any of the menu entries or switch to the terminal. Let's test it out: reboot and choose grubtest.cfg from the GRUB menu, using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Enter the name you chose, the GRUB password, your LUKS passphrase and login as root/your user. All went well? Great!

If it does not work like you want it to, if you are unsure or sceptical in any way, don't despair: you have been wise and did not brick your device! Reboot and login the default way, and then modify your grubtest.cfg until you get it right! Do *not* proceed past this point unless you are 100% sure that your new configuration is safe (or desirable) to use.

Now, we can easily and safely create a copy of grubtest.cfg, called grub.cfg. This will be the same except for one difference: the menuentry 'Switch to grub.cfg' is changed to 'Switch to grubtest.cfg' and, inside it, all instances of grub.cfg to grubtest.cfg. This is so that the main config still links (in the menu) to grubtest.cfg, so that you don't have to manually switch to it, in case you ever want to follow this guide again in the future (modifying the already modified config). Inside libreboot_util/cbfstool/{armv7l i686 x86_64}, we can do this with the following command:\ \$ sed -e 's:(cbfsdisk)/grub.cfg:(cbfsdisk)/grubtest.cfg:g' -e 's:Switch to grub.cfg:Switch to grubtest.cfg:g' < grubtest.cfg > grub.cfg\ Delete the grub.cfg that remained inside the ROM:

$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom remove -n grub.cfg

Add the modified version that you just made:

$ ./cbfstool libreboot.rom add -n grub.cfg -f grub.cfg -t raw

Now you have a modified ROM. Once more, refer to http://libreboot.org/docs/install/#flashrom. Cd to the libreboot_util directory and update the flash chip contents:

# ./flash update libreboot.rom

And wait for the "Verifying flash... VERIFIED." Once you have done that, shut down and then boot up with your new configuration.

When done, delete GRUB (remember, we only needed it for the grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 utility; GRUB is already part of libreboot, flashed alongside it as a payload):

# pacman -R grub

If you followed all that correctly, you should now have a fully encrypted Parabola installation. Refer to the wiki for how to do the rest.

Bonus: Using a key file to unlock /boot/

By default, you will have to enter your LUKS passphrase twice; once in GRUB, and once when booting the kernel. GRUB unlocks the encrypted partition and then loads the kernel, but the kernel is not aware of the fact that it is being loaded from an encrypted volume. Therefore, you will be asked to enter your passphrase a second time. A workaround is to put a keyfile inside initramfs, with instructions for the kernel to use it when booting. This is safe, because /boot/ is encrypted (otherwise, putting a keyfile inside initramfs would be a bad idea).\ Boot up and login as root or your user. Then generate the key file:\ # dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/mykeyfile iflag=fullblock\ Insert it into the luks volume:

# cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX /etc/mykeyfile

and enter your LUKS passphrase when prompted. Add the keyfile to the initramfs by adding it to FILES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. For example:

# FILES="/etc/mykeyfile"

Create the initramfs image from scratch:

# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre
# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre-lts
# mkinitcpio -p linux-libre-grsec

Add the following to your grub.cfg - you are now able to do that, see above! -, or add it in the kernel command line for GRUB:

# cryptkey=rootfs:/etc/mykeyfile

\ You can also place this inside the grub.cfg that exists in CBFS: grub_cbfs.html.

Troubleshooting

A user reported issues when booting with a docking station attached on an X200, when decrypting the disk in GRUB. The error AHCI transfer timed out was observed. The workaround was to remove the docking station.

Further investigation revealed that it was the DVD drive causing problems. Removing that worked around the issue.
