+:B~ Customizing run time behaviours
+
+1~customizing-run-time-behaviours Customizing run time behaviours
+
+All configuration that is done during run time is done by live-config. Here
+are some of the most common options of live-config that users are interested
+in. A full list of all possibilities can be found in the man page of
+live-config.
+
+2~ Customizing the live user
+
+One important consideration is that the live user is created by live-boot at
+boot time, not by live-build at build time. This not only influences where
+materials relating to the live user are introduced in your build, as
+discussed in {Live/chroot local includes}#live-chroot-local-includes, but
+also any groups and permissions associated with the live user.
+
+You can specify additional groups that the live user will belong to by using
+any of the possibilities to configure live-config. For example, to add the
+live user to the #{fuse}# group, you can either add the following file in
+#{config/includes.chroot/etc/live/config/user-setup.conf}#:
+
+code{
+
+ LIVE_USER_DEFAULT_GROUPS="audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev scanner bluetooth fuse"
+
+}code
+
+or use
+#{live-config.user-default-groups=audio,cdrom,dip,floppy,video,plugdev,netdev,powerdev,scanner,bluetooth,fuse}#
+as a boot parameter.
+
+It is also possible to change the default username "user" and the default
+password "live". If you want to do that for any reason, you can easily
+achieve it as follows:
+
+To change the default username you can simply specify it in your config:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live "boot=live components username=live-user"
+
+}code
+
+One possible way of changing the default password is by means of a hook as
+described in {Boot-time hooks}#boot-time-hooks. In order to do that you can
+use the "passwd" hook from #{/usr/share/doc/live-config/examples/hooks}#,
+prefix it accordingly (e.g. 2000-passwd) and add it to
+#{config/includes.chroot/lib/live/config/}#
+
+2~customizing-locale-and-language Customizing locale and language
+
+When the live system boots, language is involved in two steps:
+
+_* the locale generation
+
+_* setting the keyboard configuration
+
+The default locale when building a Live system is
+#{locales=en_US.UTF-8}#. To define the locale that should be generated, use
+the #{locales}# parameter in the #{--bootappend-live}# option of #{lb
+config}#, e.g.
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live "boot=live components locales=de_CH.UTF-8"
+
+}code
+
+Multiple locales may be specified as a comma-delimited list.
+
+This parameter, as well as the keyboard configuration parameters indicated
+below, can also be used at the kernel command line. You can specify a locale
+by #{language_country}# (in which case the default encoding is used) or the
+full #{language_country.encoding}# word. A list of supported locales and the
+encoding for each can be found in #{/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED}#.
+
+Both the console and X keyboard configuration are performed by
+#{live-config}# using the #{console-setup}# package. To configure them, use
+the #{keyboard-layouts}#, #{keyboard-variants}#, #{keyboard-options}# and
+#{keyboard-model}# boot parameters via the #{--bootappend-live}#
+option. Valid options for these can be found in
+#{/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst}#. To find layouts and variants for a
+given language, try searching for the English name of the language and/or
+the country where the language is spoken, e.g:
+
+code{
+
+$ egrep -i '(^!|german.*switzerland)' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
+ ! model
+ ! layout
+   ch              German (Switzerland)
+ ! variant
+   legacy          ch: German (Switzerland, legacy)
+   de_nodeadkeys   ch: German (Switzerland, eliminate dead keys)
+   de_sundeadkeys  ch: German (Switzerland, Sun dead keys)
+   de_mac          ch: German (Switzerland, Macintosh)
+ ! option
+
+}code
+
+Note that each variant lists the layout to which it applies in the
+description.
+
+Often, only the layout needs to be configured. For example, to get the
+locale files for German and Swiss German keyboard layout in X use:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live "boot=live components locales=de_CH.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=ch"
+
+}code
+
+However, for very specific use cases, you may wish to include other
+parameters. For example, to set up a French system with a French-Dvorak
+layout (called Bepo) on a TypeMatrix EZ-Reach 2030 USB keyboard, use:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live \
+     "boot=live components locales=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=fr keyboard-variants=bepo keyboard-model=tm2030usb"
+
+}code
+
+Multiple values may be specified as comma-delimited lists for each of the
+#{keyboard-*}# options, with the exception of #{keyboard-model}#, which
+accepts only one value. Please see the #{keyboard(5)}# man page for details
+and examples of #{XKBMODEL}#, #{XKBLAYOUT}#, #{XKBVARIANT}# and
+#{XKBOPTIONS}# variables. If multiple #{keyboard-variants}# values are
+given, they will be matched one-to-one with #{keyboard-layouts}# values (see
+#{setxkbmap(1)}# #{-variant}# option). Empty values are allowed; e.g. to
+define two layouts, the default being US QWERTY and the other being US
+Dvorak, use:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live \
+     "boot=live components keyboard-layouts=us,us keyboard-variants=,dvorak"
+
+}code
+
+2~persistence Persistence
+
+A live cd paradigm is a pre-installed system which runs from read-only
+media, like a cdrom, where writes and modifications do not survive reboots
+of the host hardware which runs it.
+
+A live system is a generalization of this paradigm and thus supports other
+media in addition to CDs; but still, in its default behaviour, it should be
+considered read-only and all the run-time evolutions of the system are lost
+at shutdown.
+
+'Persistence' is a common name for different kinds of solutions for saving
+across reboots some, or all, of this run-time evolution of the system. To
+understand how it works it would be handy to know that even if the system is
+booted and run from read-only media, modifications to the files and
+directories are written on writable media, typically a ram disk (tmpfs) and
+ram disks' data do not survive reboots.
+
+The data stored on this ramdisk should be saved on a writable persistent
+medium like local storage media, a network share or even a session of a
+multisession (re)writable CD/DVD. All these media are supported in live
+systems in different ways, and all but the last one require a special boot
+parameter to be specified at boot time: #{persistence}#.
+
+If the boot parameter #{persistence}# is set (and #{nopersistence}# is not
+set), local storage media (e.g. hard disks, USB drives) will be probed for
+persistence volumes during boot. It is possible to restrict which types of
+persistence volumes to use by specifying certain boot parameters described
+in the live-boot(7) man page. A persistence volume is any of the following:
+
+_* a partition, identified by its GPT name.
+
+_* a filesystem, identified by its filesystem label.
+
+_* an image file located on the root of any readable filesystem (even an
+NTFS partition of a foreign OS), identified by its filename.
+
+The volume label for overlays must be #{persistence}# but it will be ignored
+unless it contains in its root a file named #{persistence.conf}# which is
+used to fully customize the volume's persistence, this is to say, specifying
+the directories that you want to save in your persistence volume after a
+reboot. See {The persistence.conf file}#persistence-conf for more details.
+
+Here are some examples of how to prepare a volume to be used for
+persistence. It can be, for instance, an ext4 partition on a hard disk or on
+a usb key created with, e.g.:
+
+code{
+
+ # mkfs.ext4 -L persistence /dev/sdb1
+
+}code
+
+See also {Using the space left on a USB stick}#using-usb-extra-space.
+
+If you already have a partition on your device, you could just change the
+label with one of the following:
+
+code{
+
+ # tune2fs -L persistence /dev/sdb1 # for ext2,3,4 filesystems
+
+}code
+
+Here's an example of how to create an ext4-based image file to be used for
+persistence:
+
+code{
+
+ $ dd if=/dev/null of=persistence bs=1 count=0 seek=1G # for a 1GB sized image file
+ $ /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -F persistence
+
+}code
+
+Once the image file is created, as an example, to make #{/usr}# persistent
+but only saving the changes you make to that directory and not all the
+contents of #{/usr}#, you can use the "union" option. If the image file is
+located in your home directory, copy it to the root of your hard drive's
+filesystem and mount it in #{/mnt}# as follows:
+
+code{
+
+ # cp persistence /
+ # mount -t ext4 /persistence /mnt
+
+}code
+
+Then, create the #{persistence.conf}# file adding content and unmount the
+image file.
+
+code{
+
+ # echo "/usr union" >> /mnt/persistence.conf
+ # umount /mnt
+
+}code
+
+Now, reboot into your live medium with the boot parameter "persistence".
+
+3~persistence-conf The persistence.conf file
+
+A volume with the label #{persistence}# must be configured by means of the
+#{persistence.conf}# file to make arbitrary directories persistent. That
+file, located on the volume's filesystem root, controls which directories it
+makes persistent, and in which way.
+
+How custom overlay mounts are configured is described in full detail in the
+persistence.conf(5) man page, but a simple example should be sufficient for
+most uses. Let's say we want to make our home directory and APT cache
+persistent in an ext4 filesystem on the /dev/sdb1 partition:
+
+code{
+
+ # mkfs.ext4 -L persistence /dev/sdb1
+ # mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
+ # echo "/home" >> /mnt/persistence.conf
+ # echo "/var/cache/apt" >> /mnt/persistence.conf
+ # umount /mnt
+
+}code
+
+Then we reboot. During the first boot the contents of #{/home}# and
+#{/var/cache/apt}# will be copied into the persistence volume, and from then
+on all changes to these directories will live in the persistence
+volume. Please note that any paths listed in the #{persistence.conf}# file
+cannot contain white spaces or the special #{.}# and #{..}# path
+components. Also, neither #{/lib}#, #{/lib/live}# (or any of their
+sub-directories) nor #{/}# can be made persistent using custom mounts. As a
+workaround for this limitation you can add #{/ union}# to your
+#{persistence.conf}# file to achieve full persistence.
+
+3~ Using more than one persistence store
+
+There are different methods of using multiple persistence store for
+different use cases. For instance, using several volumes at the same time or
+selecting only one, among various, for very specific purposes.
+
+Several different custom overlay volumes (with their own
+#{persistence.conf}# files) can be used at the same time, but if several
+volumes make the same directory persistent, only one of them will be
+used. If any two mounts are "nested" (i.e. one is a sub-directory of the
+other) the parent will be mounted before the child so no mount will be
+hidden by the other. Nested custom mounts are problematic if they are listed
+in the same #{persistence.conf}# file. See the persistence.conf(5) man page
+for how to handle that case if you really need it (hint: you usually don't).
+
+One possible use case: If you wish to store the user data i.e. #{/home}# and
+the superuser data i.e. #{/root}# in different partitions, create two
+partitions with the #{persistence}# label and add a #{persistence.conf}#
+file in each one like this, #{# echo "/home" > persistence.conf}# for the
+first partition that will save the user's files and #{# echo "/root" >
+persistence.conf}# for the second partition which will store the superuser's
+files. Finally, use the #{persistence}# boot parameter.
+
+If a user would need multiple persistence store of the same type for
+different locations or testing, such as #{private}# and #{work}#, the boot
+parameter #{persistence-label}# used in conjunction with the boot parameter
+#{persistence}# will allow for multiple but unique persistence media. An
+example would be if a user wanted to use a persistence partition labeled
+#{private}# for personal data like browser bookmarks or other types, they
+would use the boot parameters: #{persistence}#
+#{persistence-label=private}#. And to store work related data, like
+documents, research projects or other types, they would use the boot
+parameters: #{persistence}# #{persistence-label=work}#.
+
+It is important to remember that each of these volumes, #{private}# and
+#{work}#, also needs a #{persistence.conf}# file in its root. The live-boot
+man page contains more information about how to use these labels with legacy
+names.
+
+3~ Using persistence with encryption
+
+Using the persistence feature means that some sensible data might get
+exposed to risk. Especially if the persistent data is stored on a portable
+device such as a usb stick or an external hard drive. That is when
+encryption comes in handy. Even if the entire procedure might seem
+complicated because of the number of steps to be taken, it is really easy to
+handle encrypted partitions with live-boot. In order to use *{luks}*, which
+is the supported encryption type, you need to install /{cryptsetup}/ both on
+the machine you are creating the encrypted partition with and also in the
+live system you are going to use the encrypted persistent partition with.
+
+To install /{cryptsetup}/ on your machine:
+
+code{
+
+ # apt-get install cryptsetup
+
+}code
+
+To install /{cryptsetup}/ in your live system, add it to your package-lists:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config
+ $ echo "cryptsetup" > config/package-lists/encryption.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+Once you have your live system with /{cryptsetup}/, you basically only need
+to create a new partition, encrypt it and boot with the #{persistence}# and
+#{persistence-encryption=luks}# parameters. We could have already
+anticipated this step and added the boot parameters following the usual
+procedure:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --bootappend-live "boot=live components persistence persistence-encryption=luks"
+
+}code
+
+Let's go into the details for all of those who are not familiar with
+encryption. In the following example we are going to use a partition on a
+usb stick which corresponds to #{/dev/sdc2}#. Please be warned that you need
+to determine which partition is the one you are going to use in your
+specific case.
+
+The first step is plugging in your usb stick and determine which device it
+is. The recommended method of listing devices in live-manual is using #{ls
+-l /dev/disk/by-id}#. After that, create a new partition and then, encrypt
+it with a passphrase as follows:
+
+code{
+
+ # cryptsetup --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdc2
+
+}code
+
+Then open the luks partition in the virtual device mapper. Use any name you
+like. We use *{live}* here as an example:
+
+code{
+
+ # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc2 live
+
+}code
+
+The next step is filling the device with zeros before creating the
+filesystem:
+
+code{
+
+ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/live
+
+}code
+
+Now, we are ready to create the filesystem. Notice that we are adding the
+label #{persistence}# so that the device is mounted as persistence store at
+boot time.
+
+code{
+
+ # mkfs.ext4 -L persistence /dev/mapper/live
+
+}code
+
+To continue with our setup, we need to mount the device, for example in
+#{/mnt}#.
+
+code{
+
+ # mount /dev/mapper/live /mnt
+
+}code
+
+And create the #{persistence.conf}# file in the root of the partition. This
+is, as explained before, strictly necessary. See {The persistence.conf
+file}#persistence-conf.
+
+code{
+
+ # echo "/ union" > /mnt/persistence.conf
+
+}code
+
+Then unmount the mount point:
+
+code{
+
+ # umount /mnt
+
+}code
+
+And optionally, although it might be a good way of securing the data we have
+just added to the partition, we can close the device:
+
+code{
+
+ # cryptsetup luksClose live
+
+}code
+
+Let's summarize the process. So far, we have created an encryption capable
+live system, which can be copied to a usb stick as explained in {Copying an
+ISO hybrid image to a USB stick}#copying-iso-hybrid-to-usb. We have also
+created an encrypted partition, which can be located in the same usb stick
+to carry it around and we have configured the encrypted partition to be used
+as persistence store. So now, we only need to boot the live system. At boot
+time, live-boot will prompt us for the passphrase and will mount the
+encrypted partition to be used for persistence.
