Arch Linux User Repository

I have a Steam Deck that runs mainline Arch Linux instead of SteamOS

I just updated to the latest that includes the udev based and it works again.

For reference my working set up is

cmdline: initrd=\amd-ucode.img initrd=\initramfs-linux.img cryptdevice=UUID=<UUID>:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot log_buf_len=4M amd_iommu=off amdgpu.gttsize=8128 spi_amd.speed_dev=1 audit=0 nowatchdog nmi_watchdog=0 modprobe.blacklist=sp5100_tco sysrq_always_enabled=1 transparent_hugepage=madvise amd_pstate=guided rw

mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES=(amdgpu usbhid hid_multitouch i2c_hid i2c_hid_acpi) HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap block unl0kr filesystems fsck)

The nonworking systemd version is as follows

cmdline: initrd=\amd-ucode.img initrd=\initramfs-linux.img rd.luks.name=<UUID>=cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot log_buf_len=4M amd_iommu=off amdgpu.gttsize=8128 spi_amd.speed_dev=1 audit=0 nowatchdog nmi_watchdog=0 modprobe.blacklist=sp5100_tco sysrq_always_enabled=1 transparent_hugepage=madvise amd_pstate=guided rw

mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES=(amdgpu usbhid hid_multitouch i2c_hid i2c_hid_acpi) HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard sd-vconsole block sd-encrypt sd-unl0kr filesystems fsck)

Also, when switching from udev/encrypt to systemd/sd-encrypt remember to change your command line from

cryptdevice=UUID=6218805b-a526-4b8b-82da-d55407aff207:arch

to

rd.luks.name=6218805b-a526-4b8b-82da-d55407aff207=arch

@Raansu I don't know your hardware, just blind suggestions: 1. Try to add a kms hook; 2. Try to set quirks.fbdev_force_refresh to true in /etc/unl0kr.conf.

Also I added a hook for a busybox-based initrd, but have not tested it yet. unl0kr-hooks is taken from the previous package.

I'm having issues with this version. The pervious unl0kr package worked fine for me.

After changing to systemd and making sure these are in my mkinitcpio.conf I get to the boot with "Starting Cryptography setup for cryptroot" but nothing else occurs even after typing in my passphrase blind.

MODULES=(amdgpu usbhid hid_multitouch i2c_hid i2c_hid_acpi)

HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf block keyboard sd-encrypt sd-unl0kr filesystems)

Any ideas?

nah forget it, I forgot to update my grub cmd line to work with systemd. It works thanks

it does not work for me... I tried to update my hooks as described below, but systemd starts and is stuck on decrypting my drive then gives up..

As an aside, I had set something to rotate unl0kr and now I've lost it and don't recall how I did it.

I've tried unl0kr -r which doesn't look merged, and video=eDP-1:rotate=right.

edit: ah. probably this: fix!(unl0kr): Disable software rotation due to regressed performance (!56 (merged))

That did it. Thanks.

@brianmercer You missed the sd-encrypt hook. Try to add.

I tried swapping the other unl0kr package for this and changed

HOOKS=( base udev autodetect microcode modconf block keyboard unl0kr filesystems )

to

HOOKS=( base systemd autodetect microcode modconf block keyboard sd-unl0kr filesystems )

but it is not loading. What is the proper config?
