Unfortunately when I tried to do that, I get an error of

armada: unable to load module "etadrm_gpu" (no hardware found, 0)

I seem to have libetnaviv, xorg-novena, xserver-xorg-video-armada, xserver-xorg-video-armada-etanviv.

Also, changing

    Option "UseGPU" "true" # change to "false" to disable 2D acceleration

to false allowed xorg to work. I am using the stock novena kernel, so i assume etnadrm is supported on it.

Hey Sourcerer,

It's fine, it happens! I am wokring to get the installer to work with the new repo (as the other way is incredibly painful to try to work).

As of now, Just installing the new repo (1.3) to an image is not enough, the public keys need to be added as well. Once I figure out how to do that, I can update here.

Hey All,

If you are still having issues, make sure this repository is in /etc/apt/sources.list (or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kosagi.list)

# Newer repo with a key that goes through 2020.  Signed with 4C0E70D9.
deb http://repo.novena.io/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://repo.novena.io/debian/ jessie main

This is a different repo. delete the old repo.

The new key is here (like xobs said earlier):
http://repo.novena.io/debian/pool/main/k/kosagi-repo/

When I had senoko oddities, reflashed the senoko firmware and reflashed the gas guage:

Hope that helps!

Freehub,

I did it on Saturday successfully. I used the image provided to do the installation.

http://www.kosagi.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=59

I did it with the guided partition, and I put my notes on things I had to do to get a working installation in this thread.

I know there is a way to do it without having to compile anythong, unfortunately I do not remember how I did it. Perhaps check an older image and see if it has it?

The u-boot-novena package might have it.

I'm sorry that isn't of much help, but that's about all I can remember.

So an update for a few notes I had to do:

I used the MicroSD Card image. Just do the guided setup for encryption. it will not let you use a FAT partition for the /boot. Ironically it won't care when you modify /etc/fstab

xorg would not work for me. The only way I got it to work is my copying this from an old image to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "novena"
    Driver "modesetting"
    Option "kmsdev" "/dev/dri/card0"
    Option "SWcursor" "true"
    BusID "platform:sys/devices/soc0/imx-drm.20/drm/card0"
EndSection

I also installed xorg-novena, xserver-xorg-video-armada, xserver-xorg-video-armada-etanviv

I installed kosagi-repo and then removed the reference of the repo from /etc/apt/sources.list

I also had to modify /etc/fstab in the following manner:
comment out the current /boot and add:

/dev/disk/by-path/platform-2198000.usdhc-part1        /boot        vfat    defaults        2    2

This way the normal boot will be there and the novena can update the linux. Updating to a new linux does not destroy the cryptsetup, as I happily found out.
EDIT 2015/12/16: I just updated to a newer kernel, and I got a missing "dm_mod" error.

However, right now I am not confident that 2d acceleration works, and I am not sure how to make it work.
EDIT: I just checked, and 2D acceleration does work.

Alright, that makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up!

Thanks GregRob, that fixed it!

I have 2D Accelleration on as well, i would have thought that would speed things up too.

Which 2d Acceleration are you using?

veleiro,

I don't think the bluetooth stack is initialized until after the root disk is encrypted. I have a bluetooth adaptor that does not need any closed source drivers, and I cannot get the bluetooth keyboard to work. On my desktop that is root encrypted, I see the bluetooth initialize very late in the boot process. I also think the pairing device files are not in the /boot section, so even if bluetooth was initialized, it would have no idea what to connect to.

If you want a wireless keyboard with encrypted rootdisk, think these are your options:
- Get a wireless bridge device (I think they would just appear to be a USB keyboard to Linux)
- Get a bluetooth keyboard that also suports USB (the Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard does not supprt this, the USB is only for charging as far as I can tell)
- Get a USB keyboard in addition to the wireless keyboard
