21 | I'm a [[/uw][graduate student]] in the [[https://watform.uwaterloo.ca][WatForm]] group at University of Waterloo, | |
22 | supervised by [[https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/][Dr. Nancy Day]]. I'm interested in using formal methods, | |
23 | especially type systems, to help make software more reliable. | |

32 | and an outdated professional resume is available as [[/resume.pdf][resume.pdf]] as | |
33 | well. | |
34 | ||
35 | I'm interested in functional programming and functional languages, | |
36 | type systems, and formal methods in general. I love writing Haskell | |
37 | and I'm looking into Rust and Lean as well. Feel free to [[/contact][drop me a | |

51 | I'm currently a [[/uw][graduate student]] in the Waterloo Formal Methods group |
52 | at University of Waterloo. I just finished my degreeās coursework | |
53 | requirements in Fall 2018, and will be focusing on my thesis starting | |
54 | this term, Winter 2019. | |

56 | In my spare time, I write [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html][free software]] (see my [[/projects][projects]] page), and |
57 | tend to various tasks as a GNU webmaster. I've also been picking up | |

136 | This is my personal website, previous versions of which I've ran on | |
3f126e4c AB |
137 | different domains since 2012. I've previously used Octopress, Jekyll, |

140 | also [[https://ambrevar.xyz/blog-architecture/index.html][A blog in pure Org/Lisp]]); but I've since ported it to [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/][ox-hugo]], a | |
3f126e4c AB |
141 | "carefully crafted Org exporter back-end for Hugo" (kudos to [[https://scripter.co][Kaushal |

258 | ||
259 | This post summarizes how I install and dual-boot Arch GNU/Linux with | |
260 | Full-Disk Encryption alongside macOS. It is not meant to be a | |
261 | replacement for the [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide][Installation Guide]] or the former [[https://csdietz.github.io/arch-beginner-guide/][Beginner's Guide]]. | |
262 | Rather, it mostly serves as a small summary with a few useful notes | |
263 | about the gotchas. | |
264 | ||
265 | So, make sure you understand what you type into your terminal. If you | |
266 | don't, checking out the Arch wiki should probably be your first step. | |
267 | ||
268 | /Note:/ you will need internet access throughout the installation and | |
269 | the MacBook Air's WiFi doesn't work out of the box on Arch. I | |
270 | recommend using your phone's USB Tethering (if it does support it), or | |
271 | using an Ethernet-USB adapter. | |
272 | ||
273 | *** Shrinking the macOS partition | |
274 | ||
275 | The first step I take is resizing the HFS+ macOS partition to make | |
276 | room for the new {{{abbr(GNU/Linux)}}} installation. There are plenty | |
277 | of tutorials on how to do this using macOS's Disk Utility, so do that | |
278 | and then come back! | |
279 | ||
280 | *** Creating a bootable Arch Installer USB | |
281 | ||
282 | There are different ways of creating a bootable Arch USB, all | |
283 | documented on the [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media][USB flash installation media]] page on the Arch wiki, | |
284 | but the simplest one is using =dd= if you already have access to | |
285 | another UNIX system. | |
286 | ||
287 | {{{span(red,Warning:)}}} make sure you backup the data on your flash | |
288 | drive, as =dd= will irrevocably destroy all data on it. | |
289 | ||
290 | Use =lsblk= to find the name (block device) of your USB drive, then | |
291 | run =dd= (as root) as shown below: | |
292 | ||
293 | #+begin_src bash | |
294 | dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx status=progress && sync | |
295 | #+end_src | |
296 | ||
297 | Replace =/path/to/archlinux.iso= with the path to the Arch image you | |
298 | have downloaded, and =/dev/sdx= with your drive. | |
299 | ||
300 | *** Booting up from the USB | |
301 | ||
302 | After creating the install USB, reboot your laptop and hold the alt | |
303 | key and boot into the USB. | |
304 | ||
305 | When booting is complete and you're presented with the prompt, it's a | |
306 | good time to make sure you're connected to the internet (see the | |
307 | /note/ at the top of this post). | |
308 | ||
309 | Use =ping= to verify that you've established a connection: | |
310 | ||
311 | #+begin_src bash | |
312 | ping archlinux.org | |
313 | #+end_src | |
314 | ||
315 | *** Updating the system clock | |
316 | ||
317 | Once you're connected to the internet, make sure the system clock is | |
318 | accurate: | |
319 | ||
320 | #+begin_src bash | |
321 | timedatectl set-ntp true # start and enable systemd-timesyncd | |
322 | #+end_src | |
323 | ||
324 | You can check the service status using =timedatectl status=. | |
325 | ||
326 | *** Partitioning | |
327 | :PROPERTIES: | |
328 | :CUSTOM_ID: partitioning | |
329 | :END: | |
330 | ||
331 | I won't dive into partitioning and instead, I'll refer you to the | |
332 | [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning][Partitioning]] page of Arch wiki. Of the available partitioning tools, I | |
333 | personally prefer =cfdisk=. | |
334 | ||
335 | *** Setting up LVM & LUKS | |
336 | ||
337 | I use a [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS][LVM on LUKS]] setup, where I set up LVM on top of the encrypted | |
338 | partition. | |
339 | ||
340 | First, let's set up the underlying encrypted partition: | |
341 | ||
342 | #+begin_src bash | |
343 | cryptsetup -v --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 \ | |
344 | --iter-time 5000 --use-urandom -y luksFormat /dev/sdaX | |
345 | #+end_src | |
346 | ||
347 | where =/dev/sdaX= is the partition you created in the last step | |
348 | (e.g. =/dev/sda4=). For more information about the =cryptsetup= | |
349 | options, see the [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Encryption_options_for_LUKS_mode][LUKS encryption options]]. | |
350 | ||
351 | Then we open the container: | |
352 | ||
353 | #+begin_src bash | |
354 | cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdaX lvm | |
355 | #+end_src | |
356 | ||
357 | Now it's time to use lvm and prepare the logical volume(s): | |
358 | ||
359 | #+begin_src bash | |
360 | pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm | |
361 | vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/lvm | |
362 | lvcreate --extents +100%FREE -n root vg | |
363 | #+end_src | |
364 | ||
365 | This will create a physical volume on the mapping we just opened, | |
366 | create a volume group named =vg= on the physical volume, and create a | |
367 | logical volume named =root= that spans the entire volume group. More | |
368 | complex setups are possible thanks to the great flexibility of lvm. | |
369 | ||
370 | We now format the logical volume with =ext4=: | |
371 | ||
372 | #+begin_src bash | |
373 | mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-root | |
374 | #+end_src | |
375 | ||
376 | *** Installing the base system | |
377 | ||
378 | Let's mount the logical volume, make a directory for the mount point | |
379 | of the boot partition, and mount the boot partition (=/dev/sda1=): | |
380 | ||
381 | #+begin_src bash | |
382 | mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt | |
383 | mkdir /mnt/boot | |
384 | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot | |
385 | #+end_src | |
386 | ||
387 | Finally, let's install the base system (and optionally =base-devel=): | |
388 | ||
389 | #+begin_src bash | |
390 | pacstrap /mnt base base-devel | |
391 | #+end_src | |
392 | ||
393 | *** Configuring the system | |
394 | ||
395 | Let's generate the fstab: | |
396 | ||
397 | #+begin_src bash | |
398 | genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab | |
399 | #+end_src | |
400 | ||
401 | Use your favorite terminal-based editor, edit the fstab file and add | |
402 | the =discard= option for the root partition to enable TRIM on the SSD. | |
403 | ||
404 | Now we change root into our newly installed system and will configure | |
405 | it. Adjust these according to your own setup. | |
406 | ||
407 | #+begin_src bash | |
408 | arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash | |
409 | passwd # set the root password | |
410 | echo myhostname > /etc/hostname # set the hostname | |
411 | ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern /etc/localtime # time zone | |
412 | hwclock --systohc --utc # write system clock to hardware clock (UTC) | |
413 | useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash myuser # create myuser | |
414 | passwd myuser # set the password for myuser | |
415 | echo "myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers.d/myuser | |
416 | # uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and other needed locales in /etc/locale.gen | |
417 | locale-gen | |
418 | echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf | |
419 | export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 | |
420 | #+end_src | |
421 | ||
422 | Then adjust the initramfs hooks in =/etc/mkinitcpio.conf= and enable | |
423 | the =encrypt= and =lvm2= hooks, and make sure =keyboard= is available | |
424 | before =encrypt= so you can actually type in the LUKS password when | |
425 | booting. Your =HOOKS= line should look similar to this: | |
426 | ||
427 | #+begin_src | |
428 | HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck" | |
429 | #+end_src | |
430 | ||
431 | After adjusting the hooks, build the initramfs: | |
432 | ||
433 | #+begin_src bash | |
434 | mkinitcpio -p linux | |
435 | #+end_src | |
436 | ||
437 | Now, install the =intel-ucode= package. We'll configure the bootloader | |
438 | to enable intel microcode updates. | |
439 | ||
440 | #+begin_src bash | |
441 | pacman -S intel-ucode | |
442 | #+end_src | |
443 | ||
444 | Create the =/boot/loader/loader.conf= with the following content | |
445 | (adjust the timeout to your liking): | |
446 | ||
447 | #+begin_src | |
448 | default arch | |
449 | timeout 3 | |
450 | #+end_src | |
451 | ||
452 | Then create the entry for Arch: | |
453 | ||
454 | #+begin_src bash | |
455 | mkdir -p /boot/loader/entries | |
456 | touch /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf | |
457 | #+end_src | |
458 | ||
459 | Now edit =/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf= to specify the Arch entry: | |
460 | ||
461 | #+begin_src | |
462 | title Arch GNU/Linux | |
463 | linux /vmlinuz-linux | |
464 | initrd /intel-ucode.img | |
465 | initrd /initramfs-linux.img | |
466 | options cryptdevice=/dev/sdaX:vg:allow-discards root=/dev/mapper/vg-root rw | |
467 | #+end_src | |
468 | ||
469 | Again, =/dev/sdaX= is the partition you created in the [[#partitioning][partitioning]] | |
470 | step as the underlying encrypted partition. | |
471 | ||
472 | Finally, install the bootloader, exit the chroot, umount and reboot! | |
473 | ||
474 | #+begin_src bash | |
475 | bootctl install | |
476 | exit | |
477 | umount -R /mnt | |
478 | reboot | |
479 | #+end_src | |
480 | ||
481 | *** Post-installation recommendations | |
482 | ||
483 | Congratulations! You now have a minimal Arch installation. | |
484 | ||
485 | At this point, I usually install my favorite AUR helper, [[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacaur/][pacaur]], then | |
486 | I install the [[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms/][broadcom-wl-dkms]] wireless driver and [[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mba6x_bl-dkms/][mba6x_bl-dkms]] | |
487 | backlight driver to fix the post suspend/resume issue where three's no | |
488 | brightness after waking up from suspend, and the only available | |
489 | brightness would be 100%. | |
490 | ||
491 | #+begin_src bash | |
492 | pacaur -S linux-headers dkms # linux-headers is required for dkms | |
493 | pacaur -S broadcom-wl-dkms | |
494 | pacaur -S mba6x_bl-dkms | |
495 | #+end_src | |
496 | ||
497 | Then, I'd like to install | |
498 | ||
499 | - input, graphics, and sound drivers, | |
500 | - a desktop environment (I prefer Xfce or LXQt), | |
501 | - a display manager for login screen (lightdm or sddm), and | |
502 | - a network manager (NetworkManager or ConnMan). | |
503 | ||
