Are kernel headers the same for different Chromebooks? #772

Closed ShawnZhong closed 10 years ago

ShawnZhong commented 10 years ago

In that case I think we could share linux-headers-3.8.11_3.8.11-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb and linux-image-3.8.11_3.8.11-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb files.

See https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86)

divx118 commented 10 years ago

They won't change much over time, but still need to be updated once in a while. However at crouton they don't like sharing binary files, which is understandable and I also agree with this policy. Malicious code and maintenance ... I was thinking of making it a target, but in the end I don't think it is worth the trouble. You will need a huge amount of free space and when users already have some chroots on there internal ssd it will only lead to problems when they run out of space. (This of course could be checked before installing the target.) IMHO I think if you want it you should already have some basic knowledge that would be enough to follow the few steps on the wiki to build your own. Also if someone is having trouble building, just join #crouton and post your question my irc bouncer is running 24/7. BTW I also tried to setup a ppa, but that will only be good for ubuntu/debian users. Also it is pretty hard to do, because of the missing debian / debian.master folders in the kernel source. I had it almost working, but keep getting problems with the kernel version mismatch. If someone has some more experience in setting up a ppa and could help me out a bit ... specific with creating your own debian and debian.master from the kernel source I could give it another try.

ShawnZhong commented 10 years ago

I asked this question after I built kernel successfully. It took me a lot of temporary space (about 2.4 GB), but I just got two little files. The process is so painful, and I did it twice because I forgot to backup. I think if we can somehow share these file, we don't have to build it every time.

dnschneid commented 10 years ago

Actually, you (divx118) might be able to create the minimal files needed for an apt repo then add it to a git repo and host it on github by pointing your sources.list to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/

That way you can manually create and atomically upload the .deb and update the version, the repo would be https and vetted by you.

Note: haven't tried this, and a quick search suggest no-one else has either.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

Hmm I like a challenge. So I will give it a go this weekend.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

Ok, I did setup an initial apt repo. Note that this is for testing purposes, I am still thinking about how to arrange it all to support the different chromebooks. Also maybe adding some modules that aren't build/distributed by default on chromeos.

First you will need to have support for https, it isn't installed by default when creating a chroot with crouton. So install the following package.

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Now you need to add my public key because I signed the packages. Do that with the following command.

wget -O - "https://raw.github.com/divx118/crouton-packages/master/mauricevankruchten@gmail.com.gpg.key" | sudo apt-key add -

Adding the apt repo to your sources.list

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line in the file.

deb https://raw.github.com/divx118/crouton-packages/master/ saucy main
sudo apt-get update
sudo umount /lib/modules/3.8.11
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.11
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.8.11

Note: that I only tested it on saucy for now. This should work for the HP chromebook 14, Acer C720 and the Dell 11.

Things to do: 1) How to best handle the different releases the kernel-headers should be equal for them, so I don't think there is a need to split them up like I did now. 2) Handling of the different chromebooks and kernels. 3) See if we can also do something similar as the above for other linux distributions 4) Automate building and pushing to github with a script on my notebook as a final touch.

Note: Before you can load modules you need to disable module locking explained on the wiki page https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86) See the rc.local script.

ShawnZhong commented 10 years ago

Thanks a lot! I just re-installed these packages. It works pretty well on my Acer C720.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

@zwxfzzzjr Are you on stable, beta or dev channel? Which linux distro/release did you use ubuntu saucy?

Thanks for trying.

ShawnZhong commented 10 years ago

Acer C720 Host version : stable-channel 34.0.1847.120 Linux version : Ubuntu Saucy with Unity

dnschneid commented 10 years ago

Wow! That actually worked! Way to go! Perhaps add it to the wiki?

divx118 commented 10 years ago

@dnschneid Yes, I will. First I want to give the apt repo a better layout. Also I will do a write up on how to actually create the apt repo. Might be useful for when another repo is needed in the future. Also note that I used github instead of githubusercontent, but that is because of this issue https://github.com/component/remotes.js/issues/11 so it may change in the future.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

As another test I added the armhf linux-headers for chromeos-exynos5 board 3.8.11 kernel. I have unfortunately no arm chromebook, so I can't test. If someone is interested and wants to give it a go ... Procedure to add the apt repo is the same as mentioned above.

ShawnZhong commented 10 years ago

I don't think arm version is so useful since VirtualBox doesn't support arm architecture.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

@zwxfzzzjr Kernel headers aren't only useful for building virtual box modules. You can also build other modules with them. Also it isn't really an effort to add them.

Divx118: I did everything you suggested to prepare for Virtuabox installation, but I get the same errors as I did with all my numerous previous attempts when I "Start" Virtualbox. I really want to use Virtualbox on my new Acer C720 Core i3 chromebook and hope you can help.

Thanks in advance

@Jackhford Did you build the kernel headers yourself following https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86) or did you use the github repo explained in the above post? If you used the repo which kernel version does the Acer C720 Core i3 run?

$ uname -a

If you run the below command in the chroot what output do you get.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Note: Before you can load modules you need to disable module locking explained on the wiki page https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86) See the rc.local script.

Jackhford commented 10 years ago

chronos@localhost / $ uname -a Linux localhost 3.8.11 #1 SMP Wed Jul 16 03:57:00 PDT 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

chronos@localhost / $ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found

I have installed Virtualbox several times using various methods, but errored out with each "Start." In a previous attempt I did create the rc.local file as suggested in a terminal while in Ubuntu, because I didn't know how to do so in chroot, and still don't (please excuse my ignorance). I just created a new rc.local in Ubuntu terminal but it is absent when I do an ls in the etc directory in chroot. Before the last attempt, I restored my chroot so it wouldn't be tainted with bad Virtualbox files. I then built the kernels with the repo file in this post and not the wiki. But I failed to take into account that restoring the chroot file did not include the other prep like rc.local, etc.

I really appreciate your help, but I'm only so-so with Linux commands. I'd love a perfectly clear step-by-step.

An aside. If this works, do you think Win 7 will take too many resources for Virtualbox and that I should use I should use XP, instead?

You are missing /etc/init.d/vboxdrv

Did you install virtualbox with apt-get? Or did you download virtualbox from the site https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads?

What do you get when you issue the following command?

 /etc/init.d/virtualbox

Once you commented on a thread or created one on github you get e-mail updates. You can just reply through e-mail or on the site. You don't have to do both.

Jackhford commented 10 years ago

You're correct. When I list the init.d directory from the shell, Vboxdrv not there, but it is when I start the chroot and list the directory using terminal in Ubuntu.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

Then try again from a terminal in the chroot (terminal in ubuntu) and give me the output.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

then make it executable with

You have two options disable VT-x in virtualbox settings for the machine or enable VT-x on your chromebook. Enabling VT-x will give you the best experience, but includes some additional steps see the wiki https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Repack-kernel-to-Enable-VT_x-for-Virtualbox. NOTE: after each chromeos update you need to follow that wiki again to reenable VT-x.

Jackhford commented 10 years ago

This line, "vbutil_kernel --verify kernel2 --verbose | tail -1 > vmxoff-config2.txt," produced "ERROR: Error verifying key block." But the next line, "vbutil_kernel --verify kernel4 --verbose | tail -1 > vmxoff-config4.txt," did not produce any errors. Should I proceed despite the error?

@Jackhford ,

You can copy & paste it into a file named 'enable-vmx.sh' (or whatever you decide to name it) in your ~/Downloads directory or click on the 'Download Gist' button and then untar it in your ~/Downloads directory.

The steps in the wiki are performed by the script, the only difference is that they are only performed on the active kernel, not both.

You can execute the script by running sh ~/Downloads/enable-vmx.sh.

Yes, by Cros shell I mean the ChromeOS shell that you get into by pressing Ctrl+Alt+t and then entering shell, it's also sometimes referred to as crosh. If you're in your crouton chroot, just exit and you'll be back in the Cros shell where you can run the script. The script modifies the ChromeOS system not the chroot.

You can't run Virtualbox in ChromeOS, sorry...

One last question. My C720 core i3 came with a 32gb M.2 Sata III and I want to upgrade it to 128gb. Can't I just make a chroot backup, copy the file to a thumb drive, copy it to the new ssd, and do an edit-chroot -r and have a clone of the original ssd, including my new Virtualbox installation, which is my goal, or do I also have to back up and restore the chrome side, or is there something else I should do that I haven't thought of?

Yes, a chroot backup stored externally and then restored via edit-chroot will suit your purpose just fine. You'll have to get into dev mode again and also enable-vmx again but then your chroot and Vbox installation should work I believe. I don't have personal experience with Vbox via a crouton chroot but I may try it on my Acer C710.

Sorry to bother you again. Reinstalling and reread https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86)#installing-kernel-headersimage. It only discusses the x86 version of Virtualbox. My C720 has a Core i3 compatible with AMD64. Which Virtualbox version should I use?

Thanks

Another question which I touched on in a previous email. My machine came with a 32gb M.2 SATA SSD. My 128gb SSD will arrive tomorrow, and I want to do a simple transition. My plan was to backup the OS to one removable device, the chroot, with all of the kernel changes, etc., to another, and to restore both to the the new SSD. Will this work or will I have to do all the stuff you helped me with all over again to get Virtualbox setup in the chroot? This page has raised certain doubts. http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/recovery-mode

Sorry, but I'm back.

First, I had trouble creating the backup USB flash drive to restore the OS to the new 128gb SSD. I tried using chrome://imageburner, but the progress bar raced back and forth for 24 hours and wrote nothing to the flash drive. I then tried the Google Image Restore tool, which rrequires you to enter your OS model number. Mine is PEPPY C6A-K7b-Y4X. As one enters each character into the text box, the list is filtered. There were 4 to select from after I entered the K, but none matched. I called Google and the guy first asked what brand flash drive I used. I said Sandisk; he said not to use Sandisk; use any other brand. He also told me to use the following OS model number: PEPPY C6I-R7C-A6U, which I did. I'm providing these details, because they may be useful to someone in the future.

Next, I restored the OS to the new SSD, and enabled Dev mode. I had previously copied everything in Downloads to an external drive. I copied all files back to the new Downloads directory, including my chroot backup file, vmxoff-config4.txt, kernel4, repacked4, repacked2, vmxoff-config2.txt, kernel2, enable-vmx.sh, and crouton.

Next, I restored the chroot file: sudo edit-chroot -r elementary (I'm using the Elementary desktop environment - very nice), which worked, but I can't start it: chronos@localhost / $ sudo startelementary sudo: startelementary: command not found

I tried the alternate method; with errors, again: chronos@localhost / $ sudo enter-chroot elementary Entering /usr/local/chroots/elementary... Unknown username "dnsmasq" in message bus configuration file WARNING: /etc/rc.local failed with code 1 -su: 1: elementary: not found Unmounting /usr/local/chroots/elementary...

So, I deleted the chroot and built a new one using some targets this time rather than just the default xfce 12.04 method in the Wiki. My command line was like this: sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -f trusty -t xfce,audio,chrome-beta,cli-extra,core,keyboard,x11,xbmc. That worked, but I still can't get chroot to start, So, I deleted it, and restored my chroot backup again, but it still won't start: localhost / # sudo startelementary sudo: startelementary: command not found

Thanks

I didn't see anything about writing an empty partition table to the new SSD in your email. You need a linux box with something like gparted utility to to do that before the chrome OS will work with it. Make sure to point it at the correct raw device and it will put a empty table on there if one doesn't exist.

Next, I restored the chroot file: sudo edit-chroot -r elementary (I'm using the Elementary desktop environment - very nice), which worked, but I can't start it: chronos@localhost / $ sudo startelementary

Elementary is not officially supported by crouton, and crouton only restores official scripts (e.g. enter-chroot, startxfce4, ...). The tutorial you followed to install elementary has a step where you create the startelementary script: just repeat that step.

divx118 commented 10 years ago

Added kernel headers to a ppa on my github account Also updated the wiki page for building kernel headers with a link to it. So I think this issue can be closed now.
