Hello debian-live@lists,
I’m sure other people already know this but someone migrating from
Debian live stretch to Debian live buster needs to be aware of the
following changes. When you install live-build and live-config from
the repositories of Buster and you want to create a build environment
with “lb config” it will default to “stretch”. To overcome this
problem (Thanks Jacek Kowalczyk) use the command # lb config
--debian-installer live -d buster .
Next for persistent encryption to work you need to delete the following
script in this directory
config/hooks/normal/0030-enable-cryptsetup.hook.chroot . You need to
delete this hook, which is generated when running the lb config command,
because cryptsetup is no longer enabled in initramfs-tools. Cryptsetup
is now enabled in this file: “/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook”.
Here is the replacement script that you add to config/hooks/normal/
0030-cryptsetup.hook.chroot
#!/bin/sh
set -e
echo "setting up cryptsetup-initramfs"
echo 'CRYPTSETUP=y' >> /etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook
All encrypted drives will now be found. If you make a new script don’t
forget to delete the old one (0030-enable-cryptsetup.hook.chroot). For
details on encrypted persistence consult the live manual.
Cheers
Paul
