title: tank
|

|
||
|
||
A Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Tablet. My first ever ThinkPad, a very useful tool for
|
||
my studies. It has been my daily driver, on and off, for over a year and a
|
||
half in total. I really like it when I compute on the go, especially on
|
||
trains or on mountains (not to be confused with [mountain](./mountain.html)).
|
||
I now try to bring it with me and use it wherever, just to add to the list on
|
||
this page.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

## Alpine setup
|
||
|
||
[wsinatra](https://lambdacreate.com) got me interested in Alpine, and I am
|
||
having issues with Ubuntu 20 on most computers with `tank` being the worst
|
||
affected, so I switched to Alpine.
|
||
Below are some notes on the initial setup process.
|
||
|
||
* <https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LVM_on_LUKS>
|
||
* <https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Xfce_Setup>
|
||
|
||
1. Go through setup-alpine until the disk prompt, then `^C`
|
||
|
||
2. ```
|
||
apk add lvm2 cryptsetup parted haveged e2fsprogs syslinux
|
||
rc-service haveged start
|
||
parted -a optimal
|
||
|
||
# Inside parted
|
||
mklabel msdos
|
||
mkpart primary ext4 0% 100M
|
||
mkpart primary ext4 100M 100%
|
||
set 1 boot on
|
||
# Check that everything looks right
|
||
print
|
||
quit
|
||
|
||
haveged -n 0 | dd of=/dev/sda2
|
||
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2
|
||
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 lvmcrypt
|
||
|
||
pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvmcrypt
|
||
vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/lvmcrypt
|
||
lvcreate -L 9G vg0 -n swap
|
||
lvcreate -l 100%FREE vg0 -n root
|
||
# Check that everything looks right
|
||
lvscan
|
||
|
||
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
|
||
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg0/root
|
||
mkswap /dev/vg0/swap
|
||
swapon /dev/vg0/swap
|
||
mount -t ext4 /dev/vg0/root /mnt/
|
||
mkdir -v /mnt/boot
|
||
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
|
||
setup-disk -m sys /mnt/
|
||
|
||
echo "/dev/vg0/swap\tnone\tswap\tdefaults\t0 0" > /mnt/etc/fstab
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Add `cryptsetup` and `keymap` to the `features` in `/mnt/etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf`
|
||
|
||
4. ```
|
||
mkinitfs -c /mnt/etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf -b /mnt/ $(ls /mnt/lib/modules/)
|
||
blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sda2 > ~/uuid
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
5. Set the proper UUID in `/mnt/etc/update-extlinux.conf`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
default_kernel_opts="… cryptroot=UUID=<THE UUID> cryptdm=lvmcrypt"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Also check this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4,cryptsetup,keymap,cryptkey,kms,lvm
|
||
root=UUID=<UUID of /dev/mapper/vg0-root>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
6. ```
|
||
chroot /mnt/
|
||
# This may cause errors on `/boot`, ignore them
|
||
update-extlinux
|
||
exit
|
||
dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/mnt/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
|
||
cd
|
||
umount /mnt/boot
|
||
swapoff /dev/vg0/swap
|
||
umount /mnt
|
||
vgchange -a n
|
||
cryptsetup luksClose lvmcrypt
|
||
reboot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
7. Enable the edge repos in `/etc/apk/repositories`
|
||
|
||
8. ```
|
||
apk update
|
||

10. Edit `/etc/conf.d/bootmisc` to set `wipe_tmp` to `YES`
|
||
