[08:04] <blindcoder> moin
[09:14] <madtux> hi blindy
[09:14] <blindcoder> moni madtux 
[09:14] <blindcoder> madtux: got some sleep?
[09:15] <madtux> yeah
[09:15] <madtux> slept from like 9am till 4pm
[09:15] <madtux> so thats something
[09:16] <blindcoder> nice :)
[09:16] <blindcoder> I'm currently trying to set up udev
[09:17] <netrunner> brr, oral exam in 30 minutes :/
[09:22] <madtux> ready for it?
[09:23] <netrunner> still reading :)
[09:23] <blindcoder> hmm
[09:23] <blindcoder> okay
[09:23] <blindcoder> there is exactly NIL support for udev in the ROCK startup script
[09:23] <netrunner> blindcoder: yes there is. it works out of the box.
[09:23] <blindcoder> netrunner: so why can't I find udevd nowhere to be started?
[09:23] <netrunner> blindcoder: I use it on 3 machines now :)
[09:24] <netrunner> blindcoder: it is started by hotplug
[09:24] <blindcoder> ah, okay
[09:24] <blindcoder> so how is it put on the initrd?
[09:24] <netrunner> can we discuss this in ~1h? :)
[09:25] <netrunner> have to examine some petrinets now
[09:25] <blindcoder> k
[09:28] <blindcoder> grmpf
[09:28] <blindcoder> devfs still being mounted
[09:29] <blindcoder> udevd not running
[09:29] <blindcoder> so much for working udev
[09:29] <netrunner> blindcoder: udev would move the mount of devfs to /dev/devfs
[09:29] <blindcoder> netrunner: that means it is not started
[09:29] <netrunner> blindcoder: have you selected udev? have you selected hotplug?
[09:29] <blindcoder> yes ye-
[09:29] <blindcoder> 2 <*> Use udev /dev fliesystem.
[09:30] <netrunner> hm. you have udev installed?
[09:30] <blindcoder> 5 <*> Use hotplug to configure hardware
[09:30] <blindcoder> udev 063 0
[09:30] <blindcoder> hotplug 2004_09_23 1
[09:31] <netrunner> well, I did nothing more. (besides the patches to system.init, but that was nothing that kept udev from starting)
[09:31] <blindcoder> what patches to system.init?
[09:31] <blindcoder> hmm
[09:31] <blindcoder> is udevd running on your machine?
[09:31] <netrunner> is in submaster, it ran hwscan to load all modules if you selected hotplug.
[09:31] <netrunner> yes
[09:31] <blindcoder> well, it is not running here :(
[09:31] <netrunner> and as I said, it was hotplug who started it for me.
[09:33] <netrunner> at least I think so.
[09:33] <blindcoder> can you check that?
[09:33] <blindcoder> pstree or something?
[09:33] <netrunner> not now.
[09:33] <netrunner> seems to be from init.
[09:35] <blindcoder> starting udevd manually doesn't move devfs anywhere either
[09:35] <netrunner> started in /etc/initscript
[09:35] <netrunner> when in /etc/conf/devtype:devtype=udev
[09:35] <blindcoder> I have no occurance of udev in there :(
[09:35] <blindcoder> hmm
[09:35] <blindcoder> now this is strange
[09:36] <netrunner> case "$devtype" in [...] udev) ...
[09:36] <blindcoder> I installed the current sysfiles package an hour ago
[09:36] <blindcoder> but it didn't replace /etc/initscript
[09:36] <netrunner> find / -name "*.GEMnew" :)
[09:37] <blindcoder> I used Emerge-Pkg
[09:39] <blindcoder> would a duplicate file error prevent Emerge-Pkg from installing anything at all?
[09:39] <netrunner> nah, duplicate files can only be evaluated after installing.
[09:40] <blindcoder> hmm
[09:40] <blindcoder> even after re-running Emerge-Pkg sysfiles
[09:40] <blindcoder> I still have the old /etc/initscript
[09:40] <blindcoder> hmm
[09:40] <blindcoder> this sucks :(
[09:41] <blindcoder> ARGH
[09:41] <netrunner>         -noupdate       don't backup/restore modified package files
[09:41] <netrunner> maybe?
[09:41] <blindcoder> sysfiles.conf line 32
[09:41] <blindcoder> I'm going to kill someone
[09:41] <blindcoder> VERY PAINFULLY
[09:42] <netrunner> hehehe
[09:42] <netrunner> blindcoder: use .gem's, that's much better than fiddling around with emerge-pkg
[09:42] <blindcoder> netrunner: where can I find gems?
[09:42] <netrunner> blindcoder: on your build machine :)
[09:43] <blindcoder> :P
[09:43] <blindcoder> guess I'll just reinstall my laptop
[09:43] <netrunner> I can borrow you mine, the sysfiles one should be system-independent
[09:43] <blindcoder> nah, I'll just copy the file manually
[09:43] <netrunner> 13 minutes to exam 
[09:43] <th> there is a manual to that file?
[09:43] <th> hmm
[09:43] <th> ;>
[09:48] Action: blindcoder trying again
[09:49] <blindcoder> Mounted /dev (udev) from /etc/initscript.
[09:50] <blindcoder> w00t
[09:56] <blindcoder> now I just need to get my initrd stuff and encryption going for that
[10:04] <netrunner> damn, my schedule had an off-by-one.
[10:05] <blindcoder> one hour late?
[10:18] Action: blindcoder adding a sanity check to his filesystem encryption
[10:40] <blindcoder> so, now getting familiar with device-mapper
[10:40] <blindcoder> and finally ditching loop-aes
[10:43] <th> echo 0 `blockdev --getsize $DEV` crypt aes-plain XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0 $DEV 0 | dmsetup create crypted_volume
[10:45] <blindcoder> yeah, got that, but dmsetup fails
[10:45] <blindcoder> device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument
[10:45] <blindcoder> both aes_i586 and dmcrypt modules are loaded
[10:47] <th> what's your $DEV
[10:47] <th> ?
[10:47] <blindcoder> tried with /dev/acer_stick and /dev/discs/disc0/part2
[10:47] <th> hmm
[10:47] <blindcoder> hmm
[10:48] <blindcoder> Jul 20 10:47:35 localhost kernel: device-mapper: crypt: Error setting key
[10:48] <th> perhaps the key needs to be generated somehow?
[10:49] <th> propably not
[10:49] <blindcoder> good question
[10:49] <blindcoder> for testing purposes I tried a key: 12345678901234567890
[10:49] <th> wrong length
[10:49] <th> match the length of what i pasted
[10:49] <th> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[10:49] <blindcoder> min keysize: 16
[10:49] <blindcoder> max keysize: 32
[10:50] <blindcoder> according to /proc/crypto
[10:50] <blindcoder> ah
[10:50] <blindcoder> forget it
[10:50] Action: blindcoder bangs head on table
[10:50] <blindcoder> blocksize: 16
[10:50] <th> so it is 16 or 32
[10:50] <blindcoder> so _either_ a 16 byte key _or_ a 32 byte key
[10:51] <blindcoder> and suddenly it works :)
[10:53] <blindcoder> so I need hashalot, too
[10:54] <blindcoder> okay, on-the-fly de/encrypting also works fine :)
[10:54] <blindcoder> so that means I can totally dump loop-aes :)
[10:57] Action: blindcoder sees the initrd growing beyond the 8MB limit
[12:24] SteffenP (~steffen@p5499548A.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #rocklinux.
[13:25] <blindcoder> uwah
[13:25] <blindcoder> with udev I need 1 MB more space on the initrd
[13:39] <blindcoder> okay, first test with dmcrypt
[13:47] Action: blindcoder looks at his screen in bewilderment...
[13:47] <blindcoder> it worked
[13:47] <blindcoder> it freaking worked
[13:47] <blindcoder> I now have a dmcrypt encrypted partition on first try
[13:48] <blindcoder> but it needs 5.8 MB on the initrd
[13:57] <blindcoder> wow
[13:57] <blindcoder> it... just worked
[13:58] <blindcoder> encrypting
[13:58] <blindcoder> booting with encrypted
[13:58] <blindcoder> decrypted
[13:58] Action: blindcoder is astonished over his own achievement
[14:56] <th> oh
[14:56] <th> hmmm
[14:56] <th> i've machine doing that rescue-lvm-cycle thing which does the same
[15:01] <blindcoder> somehow, I fail to parse that sentence
[15:03] <th> there is a "a" missing
[15:03] <th> s/ / a /
[15:04] <th> or in other words: i have a machine which boots via my lvm-cycle thing through the rescue target
[15:04] <th> and that machine does dmcrypting in stage1 too
[15:04] <blindcoder> ah, now I get it
[15:04] <blindcoder> well, I'd like to have a working rootfs encryption directly in rock
[15:05] <blindcoder> as well as finally a usable initrd framework ;)
[15:05] <blindcoder> and loop-aes will completely vanish with the next LVP update
[15:05] <blindcoder> which will dump loop-aes and use dmcrypt, too
[15:06] <th> yea that's good
[15:07] <blindcoder> I'm now going to write a few words about that into RockDoc so that people can look at how it works
[15:19] <blindcoder> what I like most about this is that it's easy to encrypt an existing filesystem :)
[15:19] Action: blindcoder is proud of himself :)
[15:22] <th> how would you encrypt the existing fs?
[15:24] <blindcoder> setup the dmcrypt
[15:24] <blindcoder> dd if=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 of=/dev/mapper/disc0_part3_encrypted
[15:24] <blindcoder> and done :)
[15:24] <blindcoder> hm
[15:25] <blindcoder> I just sense an eeeevil bug in the current devicemapper plugin
[15:25] <blindcoder> need to address that later
[15:26] <blindcoder> I only use the "partx" part of the device to create the device mapper
[15:27] <blindcoder> so part3 gets mapped to /dev/mapper/part3_encrypted
[15:27] <blindcoder> this will get ugly once you have two disks
[15:33] <th> well that method (dd) is not that nice.
[15:33] <th> cause you need enough free space
[15:33] <blindcoder> ehm
[15:33] <blindcoder> if I copy from a harddisk to itself, I have enough free space
[15:33] <blindcoder> like this:
[15:34] <blindcoder> echo "blablabla /dev/discs/disc0/part3 blabla" | dmsetup crypt part3_encrypted
[15:34] <blindcoder> dd if=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 of=/dev/mapper/part3_encrypted bs=1k
[15:35] <th> ahh
[15:35] <th> on itself
[15:35] <blindcoder> yes :)
[15:36] <th> you should better not issue the dd twice
[15:36] <blindcoder> that way you can encrypt/decrypt existing filesystem
[15:36] <blindcoder> hehe, no :)
[15:36] <th> well
[15:36] <blindcoder> or you would have to issue it twice to decrypt it again ;)
[15:36] <th> that would be double encryption
[15:36] <th> could propably undo be swapping if and of
[15:36] <blindcoder> yeah, but the script doesn't do so
[15:37] <blindcoder> at least, if you do it right :)
[15:37] <blindcoder> if you instruct it to encrypt the filesystem although it's already encrypted you're screwed
[15:37] <blindcoder> but what happens if I decrypt an unencrypted filesystem?
[15:37] <blindcoder> would that still count as encryption?
[15:37] <blindcoder> </philosophy>
[15:37] <th> you could not mount the fs cause it's broken
[15:38] <th> the point is:
[15:38] <blindcoder> yeah, that much is obvious
[15:38] <th> you dont crypt on the FS
[15:38] <th> but on the block
[15:38] <blindcoder> but would it still be considered ENcryption by law? shouldn't it be DEcryption?
[15:38] <blindcoder> yes
[15:38] <th> ahhhhhh
[15:38] <th> gotcha
[15:38] <th> well
[15:38] <th> i think it's all the same
[15:39] <th> is there any law in germany that would be of interest for us wrt crypting?
[15:39] <blindcoder> to ROCK? no
[15:39] <blindcoder> to me as a user of encryption? yes
[15:39] <th> what laws are that?
[15:39] <th> i mean: we're not in france here
[15:39] <blindcoder> because I'll be travelling a bit to countries with evil import restrictions
[15:40] <th> ahh k
[15:42] <blindcoder> okay, information added to rockdoc
[15:42] <blindcoder> still need some more
[15:43] <blindcoder> but I need the laptop for that
[15:43] <blindcoder> and it's still busy encrypting /home :)
[16:08] <blindcoder> done
[16:17] <blindcoder> now
[16:17] <blindcoder> this sucks
[16:20] <blindcoder> devfs still got mounted at boot and udevstart doesn't do anything
[17:42] <blindcoder> okay, here is my official statement
[17:42] <blindcoder> UDEV SUCKS
[17:42] <daja77> hm you have sysfs mounted?
[17:43] <blindcoder> yes
[17:43] <blindcoder> it is up and running
[17:43] <blindcoder> but don't ask...
[17:43] <blindcoder> udevstart follows different rules than udevd
[17:43] Action: daja77 asking blindcoder 
[17:43] <blindcoder> my soundcard isn't recognized anymore
[17:43] <blindcoder> and all this userspace crap is taking up a hell of a lot of space in the initrd
[17:44] <blindcoder> then /dev/random and /dev/urandom are created with root.root and 660
[17:44] <_Ragnar_> post it to the kernel devel list
[17:44] <blindcoder> making it impossible to use ssh from a user account
[17:44] <blindcoder> _Ragnar_: when I calm down I will
[17:45] <daja77> sounds like stupid defaults which can be changed ...
[17:45] <blindcoder> can? MUST!
[17:45] <blindcoder> oh, and udevstart always return 0 with no messages
[17:45] <daja77> I meant we are able to do that ...
[17:45] <blindcoder> even if it fails at everything it tries to do
[17:46] <blindcoder> but I'd really like to have my soundcard back now
[17:47] <daja77> modprobe
[17:47] Action: daja77 hides
[17:47] <blindcoder> the modules are loaded
[17:47] <blindcoder> snd_intel8x0           33568  0 
[17:49] <daja77> hm which app can't access?
[17:49] <blindcoder> any
[17:49] <blindcoder> aplay
[17:49] <blindcoder> xmms
[17:49] <blindcoder> mplayer
[17:49] <blindcoder> /dev/sound non-existant even with oss compatibility layer
[17:49] <blindcoder> /dev/dsp also nonexistant
[17:50] <blindcoder> alsactl also can't do shit
[17:50] <_Ragnar_> sounds like udev is a really big step back from devfs
[17:51] <blindcoder> HELL, YEAH!
[17:51] <blindcoder> devfs worked
[17:51] <blindcoder> udev doesn't
[17:51] <blindcoder> BIG step backward
[17:51] <daja77> sounds like the devices are not created for whatever reason
[17:51] <esden> does anyone know how far xmms2 is?
[17:51] <blindcoder> Jul 20 17:49:14 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.5[B] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
[17:51] <blindcoder> looks fine to me
[17:52] <blindcoder> Jul 20 17:49:14 localhost kernel: intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49475 usecs
[17:52] <blindcoder> Jul 20 17:49:14 localhost kernel: intel8x0: clocking to 48000
[17:52] <blindcoder> just the fucking piece of crap that is udev doesn't get them
[17:54] <blindcoder> argh
[17:54] <blindcoder> udevd isn't started
[17:54] <blindcoder> what is this piece of crap?
[17:55] <daja77> sounds like the reason for your problem ...
[17:56] <blindcoder> yeah, but why?
[17:56] <blindcoder> shouldn't it be started by hotplug
[17:57] <daja77> what happens if you start it manually
[17:58] <blindcoder> then it works
[17:58] <blindcoder> according to andreasj from #linux.de udevd is NOT started by hotplug
[17:58] <blindcoder> *sigh* another thing to add to the initrd
[17:59] <th> well hotplug wouldnt start devfsd for you, would it?
[17:59] <clifford> blindcoder: in the real system udevstart is executed by /etc/initscript (fyi)
[17:59] <blindcoder> clifford: yes, but that neither helps me in initrd nor does it start udevd
[17:59] <blindcoder> clifford: udevstart doesn't care about /etc/udev/rules.d/
[18:02] <blindcoder> that's why I only get /dev/hda[1234] and no /dev/discs/...
[18:04] <blindcoder> reboot again...
[18:10] <blindcoder> argh
[18:10] <blindcoder> I was missing the /bin/sh -> bash symlink >_<
[18:11] <daja77> you should calm down and relax ...
[18:11] <blindcoder> yeah, really...
[18:12] <blindcoder> sooooo
[18:12] <blindcoder> how can I tell hotplug to always load certain modules?
[18:12] <blindcoder> namely snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss and snd-mixer-oss?
[18:13] <daja77> .oO (that's a huge sm sync)
[18:28] <blindcoder> okay, that works
[18:28] <blindcoder> now for udev permissions
[18:29] <blindcoder> hmm
[18:29] <blindcoder> permissions.d
[18:29] <blindcoder> is _totally_ ignored by udev
[18:33] <blindcoder> HAH
[18:33] <blindcoder> udev 063 handles permissions differently from 050
[18:53] <netrunner> blindcoder: use my patch from submaster and write it to /etc/conf/kernel
[18:56] <blindcoder> netrunner: id?
[18:57] <netrunner> 2005071120083612746
[19:03] <blindcoder> ah
[19:03] <blindcoder> well, I've configured udev correcly now, that solves the permissions problem
[19:03] <blindcoder> see 2005072018472004222
[19:03] <blindcoder> and the modules have been solved with modules.conf though I probably won't remember this after the next reinstallation
