LUKS failure message after correctly unlocks from password entry
can confirm, wonder why it's broken again. i'll investigate Can confirm with neon-user-20240814-1547.iso downloaded today I booted the live system again and did cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 maindisk which worked with the password I had entered during install. Mounting showed a file system that appears all OK as well. The same cryptsetup command also works from the initramfs shell that appears at some point after the error. So it appears that the LUKS setup on the disk itself is fine. should be fixed in latest iso's. testing and feedback welcomed (In reply to Carlos De Maine from comment #4) > should be fixed in latest iso's. testing and feedback welcomed Just successfully tested neon-user-20240902-1039.iso in VirtualBox. Will try on real hardware soon (In reply to Kevin Krammer from comment #5) > (In reply to Carlos De Maine from comment #4) > > should be fixed in latest iso's. testing and feedback welcomed > > Just successfully tested neon-user-20240902-1039.iso in VirtualBox. > Will try on real hardware soon On hardware the installer failed during partitioning (when choosing "erase disk" option) but eventually I got it to install and the crypt setup works on my real machine now as well Tried again with neon-user-20241020-0745.iso and still works |
Created attachment 171354 [details] Entering the luks password at boot SUMMARY A fresh install of Neon using neon-user-20240627-0718.iso does not boot because the LUKS STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a VM using virt-install 2. Follow the installer wizard and chose erase disk and auto assign partitions and encrypt bootloader in MBR of /dev/vda 3. Install completes normal and on reboot fails after successfully entering the LUKS password I've attached screenshots OBSERVED RESULT Unbootable system EXPECTED RESULT Bootable system
