Mounting a LUKS encrypted device via GUI always shows password prompt despite keyfile definition in crypttab. Possible duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412851 It's a different platform though and I though I should give more description. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Encrypt USB device with cryptsetup and add a keyfile to it 2. Add entry for device with keyfile in /etc/crypttab 3. Try to mount the device with cryptdisks_start / mount via terminal, then umount / cryptdisks_stop. 4. Try to mount the device via GUI (either via KDE dolphin or via task bar "Disks & Devices"). OBSERVED RESULT Mounting via cryptdisks_start works without password prompt due to keyfile in crypttab. Mounting via GUI shows password prompt, thus doesn't respect the keyfile defined in crypttab. EXPECTED RESULT Mounting via GUI uses keyfile defined in crypttab and omits the password prompt in that case.

With Ubuntu Live 24.04.2 this problem doesn't exist, so I would say it must be a KDE specific problem or missing feature.
Same thing, yeah. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 412851 ***
