Installing Void Linux (glibc)

  1. Locate the disk you will be using

    sudo fdisk -l

  2. Select the drive we will be using for Void (Where X is your drive letter)

    sudo fdisk /dev/sdX

  3. Type the following letters and numbers to partition the drive

    Command: 	  n
Partition number: 1
First sector: 	  [ENTER]
Last sector: 	  +512M
Remove signature: Y
Command: 	  n
Partition number: 2
First sector: 	  [ENTER]
Last sector: 	  [ENTER]
Remove signature: Y
Command: 	  w

  4. Format the new partitions

    sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2

  5. Mount partitions

    sudo mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/boot
sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot

  6. Download the Void Tarball

    wget https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/live/current/void-aarch64-ROOTFS-20221001.tar.xz

  7. Extract the tarball to the root of sdX2

    sudo tar xvf void-aarch64-ROOTFS-20221001.tar.xz -C /mnt

  8. Mount host filesystems to prepare chroot

    sudo mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys && sudo mount --make-rslave /mnt/sys
sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --make-rslave /mnt/dev
sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --make-rslave /mnt/proc

  9. Copy Host DNS settings to chroot

    sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf

  10. Chroot into new Void root

    PS1="(void chroot) # " sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash

  11. Install the base system

    xbps-install -Su xbps
xbps-install -u
xbps-install base-system
xbps-remove base-voidstrap

  12. Install a text editor, unless you prefer vi

    xbps-install nano

  13. Set hostname

    nano /etc/hostname

  14. Uncomment and set locale options in rc.conf

    nano /etc/rc.conf

    HARDWARECLOCK=”UTC”
TIMEZONE=”US/Central”
KEYMAP=”en”

  15. Uncomment lines in libc-locale

    nano /etc/default/libc-locales

    en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

  16. Re-generate locale files

    xbps-reconfigure -f glibc-locales

  17. Change root password

    passwd

  18. Add user, replacing username where necessary

    useradd -m -G audio,video,wheel,storage,kvm,users *username*
passwd *username*
visudo

    Scroll down and press “x” when on the # to remove it

    # %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

    Then press [ESC], then [:], [w], [q], [!]

  19. Get UUID of sdX1 and sdX2

    blkid

  20. Configure /etc/fstab, using the UUID’s found in the previous command

    nano /etc/fstab

    UUID=XXX-XXX		/boot	vfat	rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro  	0 2
UUID=YYY-YYY-YYY-YYY	/	ext4	rw,relatime			0 1
tmpfs			/tmp	tmpfs	rw,relatime			0 0

  21. Install Grub bootloader

    xbps-install grub-arm64-efi
mkdir /boot/efi
grub-install --target=arm64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=”Void”
xbps-reconfigure -fa

  22. Configure Grub command line arguments

    nano /etc/default/grub

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu loglevel=4 arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0 amdgpu.pcie_gen_cap=0x4 amdgpu.noretry=1"

  23. Install the Kernel [Kernel numbers will vary, replace where needed]

    xbps-query --regex -Rs '^linux[0-9.]+-[0-9._]+'
xbps-install linux6.0-6.0.8_1 linux6.0-headers-6.0.8_1

  24. Configure initramfs

    xbps-install dracut
dracut --host-only --kver 6.0.8_1
update-grub

  25. Reboot into your Void install

  26. Find your Ethernet/Wireless interface

    ip addr

  27. Enable the network adapter using the network interface found above, and ip scheme of your network; Y is the subnet in slash notation (ex. /24 for 255.255.255.0)

    sudo ip link set dev *net_interface* up
sudo ip addr add X.X.X.X/YY brd + dev *net_interface*
sudo ip route add default via X.X.X.Z

  28. Install linux firmware for AMD GPU

    sudo xbps-install linux-firmware-amd

  29. Install Gnome (Optional)

    sudo xbps-install gnome gdm xorg mesa-dri mesa-vaapi mesa-vdpau
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/gdm /var/service
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/NetworkManager /var/service
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service

  30. Enable amdgpu driver on startup (place at end of file)

    sudo nano /etc/rc.local

    sudo modprobe amdgpu
exit 0

  31. Install and enable socklog (System logging)

    xbps-install socklog-void
usermod -a -G socklog *username*
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-unix /var/service
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/nanoklogd /var/service
