[leaf-user] usb keyboard

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Sorry KP,   I didn't see your post. Thanks for fixing the keyboard 
issue.  I built the toolchain and got most of the modules built save 7 
of them.  Going to wait for next release.  The image seemed to work but 
got a message with netsnmpd and nano that libtinfo.so.6 was not found.  
Didn't see it as a module that was built.  (6.1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1 was 
installed on build host)  Maybe its in the fine tuning when you do a 
release.
Thanks again.

Jim

Hopefully; 
the USB-HID support has been missing on most kernel configs; fixed configs has 
been committed to git for next release.

Re: [leaf-user] 7.5.0-RC1 backup and no usb keyboard

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Hi all,
Looks the the kernel modules (drivers ->hid)  are missing after release 
7.3.1.1.  Looking forward to anyone that has a tool chain that can 
compile a 6.12.13 kernel with the hid modules.
Not totally sure on these modules but its my best guess.
Thanks
Jim

Re: [leaf-user] 7.5.0-RC1 backup and no usb keyboard

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Hi all,
Had to tweak the backup.sh script in /sbin.  Added *-4* option to the 
line that starts with <in.tftpd *-4* -l -s $STORAGE_MEDIA>
Needed to add /sbin/backup.sh to local(files).
Seems to work for my purposes. YMMV
This leaves only usb keyboard issue.

[leaf-user] 7.5.0-RC1

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

Decided to update my leaf box to newer hardware.  Was running 7.0.0-rc1 
which is now a bit dated.  Everything was running quite well.

New hardware is a M720Q tiny pc.  Trying to get my power footprint lower 
for UPS battery backup.

Anyway I went with the 7.5.0-RC1 and encountered a few problems.

The usb keyboard no longer works on the system console.  Tried few thing 
but couldn't get it to work.  Happens on other hardware as well.

The backup module seems to require new dependencies which I tried 
adding.  Finally it starts a backup to another machine but is exceeding slow

and the Save feature of the lrp menu quits working after a backup is 
started.  This is reproduce-able.

from leaf.cfg

# List of packages to load
LRP="root license local bbnameif tc ppp pppoe ezipupd ipset iptables\
     shorwall libelf bbntpd perl etherw knockd libpcap *libintl libpsl*\
     openvpn easyrsa libssl openssl liblzo libcrpto ethtool dnsmasq\
     modules dropbear mhttpd lighttpd webconf pppscrpt libsens sensors\
     libgmp libuuid libpcre wget libz libnettle snmpmibs *libunistring*\
     libm libsnmp libnl3 netsnmpd tftpd backup nano patch"

The modules I added to leaf.cfg are bolded

done;

else
     echo `date`": Backup successful" >>/var/log/backup.log

rm /tmp/bk.res


Any help or I can help troubleshooting, please advice.

OK it's been a long time I have not looked into that stuff.

If you had errors with upgrade that probably means that some 
configuration files have changed enough so that diff/patch cannot handle 
it anymore. Check your /tmp directory for such files, they will have 
.old .new and .current suffixes.

Before rebooting fix those problems and save the configuration.

Check the existence of the libraries using the mount_modules script, it 
will tell you if there is a problem with the module library.

Re: [leaf-user] USB image file

[jeanrocco jr <bla...@gm...>]

Hello again,

Ok I just tried "Upgrade software" in the webconf page. It offered me to
upgrade to 7.4.0. It had some errors, I *did a lrcfg s), and rebooted.
Results: 7.4.0 is there but *the modules are not loading, so no eth(n)
etc...

So it's back to the standard method to generate an updated system USB. But
the image file can still be used as a perfectly working firewall, it'll
teach and familiarize you with LEAF.

Bye

Re: [leaf-user] USB image file

[jeanrocco jr <bla...@gm...>]

Hello Slawek, Marko and All,

First to Slawek my apologies for having slashed your name in my previous
post ...
I checked that the Bering-uClibc_x86_64_vga.img system can be safely used
as a firewall.

If you ever make another USB stick with the "i) install to disk..." this
new system will have the "/etc/shorewall/policies" line "fw   net
ACCEPT"  uncommented, to allow local access. *When connected to the Net as
a firewall, comment out that line.* You should also comment out the lines:
" 'HTTP(ACCEPT)  net   fw'  and 'HTTPS(ACCEPT)  net   fw'' in
/etc/shorewall/rules. Finally re-enable eth1 if you commented it out in
/etc/network/interfaces (four lines).

I will check if the upgrade command works fine, I'll let you know

Marko, I didn't try burning the iso to a USB stick yet, when I get the time
...

au revoir
Jeanrocco

Re: [leaf-user] USB image file

[marko <le...@me...>]

burning the iso cd image to a memory stick usually works.  Reset the RO 
attiributes to all the files or the system will be read only.   Even read only, 
you can utilise the leaf config menu entry to create new memory sticks.

Re: [leaf-user] USB image file

[jeanrocco jr <bla...@gm...>]

Hello Marko, Awek and Leaf Users,

Awek is right there was supposed to be .img files for serial or vga screen.
It didn't happen as we planned, so the right way of preparing a USB key is
as Marko describes: The section in the user guide "preparing the flash
media" shows you how to format, install syslinux and the mbr.

But some leftover .img files are still available in
https://sourceforge.net/projects/leaf/files/Bering-uClibc/ in 7.0.0
(Bering-uClibc_x86_64_vga.img or Bering-uClibc_x86_64_ser.img). These files
are for x86_64 and will boot a system called "leafinstaller" . These .img
files can be copied on a USB key with "make bootable USB stick" ,
Raspberrypiimager, BalenaEtcher or even "dd" . Booting it will get you in a
preconfigured system which can be used "carefully" (I didn't check it) as a
firewall. It will also help you generate another three partitions USB key (
in lrcfg menu, use " i) install to disk (experimental) " which will give
you a locally accessible target that you can easily set up from a web
browser. Make sure to set up the "rules in shorwall" before connecting it
to the net and using it as a firewall.

I'm including a quick (newbie and crude ) guide to set this up if you ever
want to try it.

bonsoir a tous

Re: [leaf-user] USB image file

[marko <le...@me...>]

For usb on a standard x86 system with syslinux as the bootloader use:

Bering-uClibc_7.5.0_x86_64_syslinux_vga.tar.gz[1]

you need a FAT32 formatted bootable usb with syslinux installed.  

The section in the user guide "preparing the flash media"
shows you how to format, install syslinux and the mbr


good luck!

Marko

[leaf-user] USB image file

[Sławek A. <sa...@wa...>]

Nine years ago, I made myself a Leaf CD. It still works. It's high time 
I upgraded to a newer version. I'd like to create a bootable USB drive. 
But I can't find the img files, namely Bering-uClibc_x86_ser.img and 
Bering-uClibc_x86_vga.img. It's strange, because the manual says you 
should start with that image.

Thank you Robert for your tests

I will try to reinstall my system on wedsday and i'll make some other 
test on it; then, i'll also try to install LEAF 7.5.1-beta1 on a ESXi VM 
machine configured with EFI firmware to check if my installation 
procedure is correct.

thanks a  lot

Re: [leaf-user] 7.5.x cannot boots - EFI problem?

[Robert K C. J. -I. F. D. Corp. <bco...@in...>]

   I copied my image to a USB drive, updated it to 7.5.1-beta and after
   fixing the leaf.cfg file that I accidentally overwrote, I successfully
   UEFI booted 7.5.1-beta.

   USB is broken - at least with the keyboards and KVM I have here, even
   in single user mode.  But the system is booted.  This is a PC set to
   only boot UEFI.  I have secure boot disabled.  I didn't dig too deeply
   but I didn't even see secure boot as an option on this thing.

Hi list,

I'm tring to install the new LEAF 7.5.1-beta1 X86_64 without success on 
a SBC that have a UEFI firmware that does not support "Legacy BIOS" or 
"CSM mode" (/Compatibility Support Module/). After POST, I can see the 
LEAF logo and nothing more

On the same hardware LEAF 7.3.1.1 x86_64 version boots correctly.

Is there someone that can confirm that the x86_64 kernel included on new 
7.5.x version supports EFI?

Thanks

Re: [leaf-user] 7.5.0 cannot boots

[Graziano B. <gra...@ou...>]

Hi Marko,

I can confirm that the boot media (an 120GB SSD disk) have an MBR; for 
the installation process, I have booted with PC using a USB key with 
uCLibc 7.3.1 system and write the MBR using the following command:

  # dd bs=440 count=1 if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX

thanks

[leaf-user] 7.5.0 cannot boots

[Graziano B. <gra...@ou...>]

Hi list,

I have tried to install leaf 7.5.0 x86_64 - VGA console - on an 
industrial PC without success; after the POST, nothing appears on VGA 
console and it reboot after few seconds.

This machine is based on a SBC with CPU Intel Atom E3825, 4 Gigabit 
Intel I211 and with  firmware configured to boot in "UEFI and Legacy" 
mode. (Firmware BIOS UEFI v2.40 PI 1.3 by American Megatrends)

On first try, I have installed it in "legacy mode" (single MBR 
partition, syslinux installed on MBR), but the system does not boot 
correcty (it reboots after few seconds)

As second chance, I have installed it in "UEFI" mode (sigle partition, 
UEFI configured on storage) but it do not start as well (it always 
reboot after some seconds).

The same system boots correctly using a 7.3.1 version (in "legacy mode" 
and in "UEFI" mode as well).

Are there some problems in new 7.5.0 version and UEFI systems? is the 
new kernel version enabled to support EFI?

Thanks in advance

Ciao

Graziano

Just did a fresh install of 7.5.0 and ulogd is not running and wont start.

from ulogd.log:

Have I missed something?  Or is something broken?  I'm using the default leaf.cfg and configdb.lrp

Thanks

When I turned on the Alix, I can see the whole boot proces on the serial 
console up to "firewall login:". Then I am unable to type any letter,

If you get the "firewall login:" prompt on the serial console then the 
serial driver works at least partially.

Which uses the ethernet connection

Obviously the e3 editor will not load. AFAIK the 3e gets loaded with 
initrd.

I confirm this  doesn't work for i486/geode/i686 and will look into it.
