Arch Linux User Repository

@tomhoover I'm installing it for the same time and had the same error. Copy/Pasting your code solved it. Something is broken with the currently deployed package.

@renegat, with the error messages you're seeing, the patch didn't apply. Run the following script and it should work for you:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/sedutil.git
cd sedutil

Does still not compile!

@ozz (and @R00KIE):

The latest update didn't change anything in the sedutil-1.20.0 source files, so I'm guessing it was a coincidence that the latest updates to some other package(s) (e.g. kernel, kernel-headers, or some other package), actually caused the 'break'.

Anyway, I applied the following patch and was once again able to compile the package:

diff -ru src/sedutil-1.20.0/Common/DtaOptions.h src.new/sedutil-1.20.0/Common/DtaOptions.h
--- src/sedutil-1.20.0/Common/DtaOptions.h      2021-08-18 07:18:03.000000000 -0500

This seems to have broken with the latest update.

After changing version number to 1.20.0 it packaged and installed succesfully.

It's GPL, so why not move it to 'core', 'extra' or 'commmunity'? It should be included in ArchISO, so people using hardware encrypted drives, should be able to install ArchLinux on them. (it doesn't matter if SED drives are secure or not. Many folks want them and would like to utilize them. MAny alongside the LUKS as another security layer)

@ranran Just like you would add a normal entry, Something like:

efibootmgr -C -d /dev/sda -p 2 -L "Arch Linux" -l /vmlinuz-linux -u initrd=/initramfs-linux.img root=UUID="your_root_partition_uuid" rw quiet

Hi Rookie,

You said: "I forgot to mention before, there is a trick to creating the PBA entry when using efistub, the disk must be locked when you call efibootmgr, otherwise it will not know the uuid of the partition and obviously it will fail to start the PBA image using efistub. The trick here is to use a system on a usb drive to create the PBA uefi entry while the disk is locked. "

Can you please say how to use efistub/efibootmgr to add boot entry for mbr shadow ? I could not do it myself.

Thank you!!!!!!! ranran

Why on earth is this not in the official repos?!
