ArchLinux ARM for CubieTruck : any ideas ?

[Almin]

Hey guys,

I recently dd'd my root partition to SSD and changed the uENV.txt appropriately. But if I ssh into it and do df -h it tells me it (the root partition /) only has a few hundred MBs of free space left. Even though it uses the root partition on the SSD, it still thinks it only has the 4 GB of disk space on the NAND!

Could you please help me, please?! I'm running out of ideas!

Hi,

I used PLyttle's instructions to install arch and it works fine so far. But I can't decrypt my hard drive now with cryptsetup:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '> cryptsetup open /dev/sda1 data
device-mapper: reload ioctl on temporary-cryptsetup-321 failed: No such file or directory
Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/sda1.
Check that kernel supports aes-xts-plain64 cipher (check syslog for more info).')
Indeed, 'cryptsetup benchmark' shows there is no aes-xts:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# Algorithm | Key | Encryption | Decryption
aes-cbc 128b 13.2 MiB/s 14.2 MiB/s
serpent-cbc 128b N/A N/A
twofish-cbc 128b N/A N/A
aes-cbc 256b 10.7 MiB/s 11.0 MiB/s
serpent-cbc 256b N/A N/A
twofish-cbc 256b N/A N/A
aes-xts 256b N/A N/A
serpent-xts 256b N/A N/A
twofish-xts 256b N/A N/A
aes-xts 512b N/A N/A
serpent-xts 512b N/A N/A
twofish-xts 512b N/A N/A
')
Before I used this image, but it eventually broke since I had to disable systemd updates.

Is there a way to get aes-xts-plain64 to work with this kernel?

get ready to build your own kernel package.

get the kernel source:$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'git clone https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs.git
')
get the necessary tools:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo pacman -Suy gcc bc make patch git pkgfile fakeroot xmlto docbook-xsl uboot-mkimage
')
go to the directory PKGBUILDs/core/linux-sun7i

edit PKGBUILD to enable nconfig,
remove the first # from the line :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ') #make nconfig # new CLI menu for configuration

[Isgar]

Thank you, works like a charm!

Do I have to rebuild the kernel when uboot-cubietruck gets updated?

[Almin]

Btw, I made a stupid mistakte: I forgot to (e2fsck &) resize2fs the root partition.
My problem is solved.


edit: Arch is best again!

@Isgar

No, but you do when linux-sun7i gets updated

You can prevent updating this package by editing /etc/pacman.conf

edit line $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '#')IgnorePkg =

Ok, after a long time I will update my help tools (my image for cubietruck is to old) to create a working sdcard.

https://github.com/fanningert/Installsc ... Cubietruck

When you have ideas for the scripts, please tell me it.

Hi,

after I update the system on a cubietruck I get no ip addr more.

Here the error message from the journal.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Sep 07 09:03:38 alarm systemd[1]: Started Network Service.
Sep 07 09:03:38 alarm systemd-networkd[103]: eth0 : DHCP error: client failed: Invalid argument
Sep 07 09:03:38 alarm systemd-networkd[103]: eth0 : could not acquire DHCPv4 lease
Sep 07 09:03:38 alarm systemd-networkd[103]: eth0 : failed')

I think the problem is that I update the systemd package to the current version.

Has any one a solution for this problem?

UPDATE: I changed to a static configuration and this is working.

Regards Thomas

It is not the systemd package. (why does everybody always think it is systemd?)
it is the openresolv package which is the culprit

fall back on the previous version (3.5.6-1), and it should work again.
problem is, the package is most likely not in your cache so you'll have to rebuild it.
I reverse-patched the PKGBUILDs for you.
Save the files below in a separate directory and type $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'makepkg')
assuming you already installed the necessary tools. (gcc bc make patch pkgfile fakeroot) If not you'll get warnings/errors.

install with pacman -U <packagefile>

That is an error raised by systemd.

I run in the same trouble and checked why the error was hit:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84373

systemd needs at least a kernel v3.7.
