Physical Isolation
1

Hello,

I have attempted a gateway build (15.0.1.3.4-stable) several times. Besides my current issue, I also wanted to mention the first two in case that will help someone else or be a useful addition to the documentation.

The first time it failed because I didn’t know that I needed to install build dependencies:

“sudo apt-get install git time curl apt-cacher-ng lsb-release fakeroot dpkg-dev”

This was not mentioned here:
/wiki/Dev/Build_Documentation/Physical_Isolation

I found it on the following page:
/wiki/Dev/Build_Documentation/15_full

I assume this is because most people that would even do this, probably already understand that it depends on these common tools. But some of us are still new to this.

The next time it failed because of build-steps.d/1300_create-raw-image.

After seeing the solution from Patrick in the previous forum post in this section, I decided to give it another try.

I was not sure if it mattered where I appended those to the build command. Both of them worked because they successfully bypassed that step.

The first time I used:
./whonix_build --flavor whonix-gateway-xfce --target root --build --allow-untagged true --allow-uncommitted true

The second time I used:
./whonix_build --allow-untagged true --allow-uncommitted true --flavor whonix-gateway-xfce --target root --build

The first one failed and I attempted to continue anyway. It completed, but after rebooting, it would not see the device to allow luks decryption. I am assuming this was because of a grub failure? Probably not a concern because its a symptom of the build failure, not the cause. Either way, I tried again and this time I saved the log file. I cannot figure out what is going wrong here.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The log is too short. It doesn’t show the original package installation failure. Can’t analyze further without longer log.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess it would help to include the 1700 section…

security-misc were made and then physical isolation documentation not considered. Added just now:
Build Documentation: Physical Isolation

While that was correct to add and results in less errors during build I am not sure that would fix this build issue.

Try running after build:

sudo update-grub

Now added too.

I have the same problem.

Have try to run sudo update-grub after build
but it doesn’t help

I will post a fix for this issue shortly in the other thread here: Whonix gateway doesn't want to start.
