From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

cryptsetup hanging? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Anyone ever have cryptsetup just start hanging after entering password on boot? This seems like it's going to be a fun issue to try to resolve...

Boot with previous kernel ? If fail, boot from Linux live, connect, mount, make backups, and try to fix.

It could also be a disk problem. I second the backup suggestion

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

This is my main concern.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oddly, after a few tries I managed to get past. I religiously back things up, and just last night pushed all my current dots.

I'm gonna run some drive diagnostics. If everything looks good, I'll just repartition and take this as a sign to only use encryption on secondary drives where I backup sensitive info.

I really need to get into pushing dot files. Every time I think „its not going to be that much“. Then I install a new system and like 20 apps, then I fiddle here and there. After a couple weeks I def rack up one or more hours of config.

My protip is to use symlinks, and then just keep all your dots in a project folder. Makes it super easy to keep iterating on them in realtime, and pushing changes.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 7 months ago

Thats neat! Thanks for the suggestion. I‘ll try that. Currently am experimenting on libraries with my coding stuff.

How could you boot a different kernel if you can't unlock the drive?

[–] Violet_McQuasional@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Isn't it quite common to have /boot on an unencrypted partition?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah duh

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

How long do you wait before you declare it hung?

Sometimes decryption takes up to a minute depending on your system specs and optimizations.

I suggest booting from a live disc and trying to unlock it from there.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

10m is when I throw my hands up. Normally it takes under 20s.

[–] drwho@beehaw.org 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's more than a reasonable period of time to wait.

Can you run a SMART check on the drive from a liveCD? memtest86?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

An extended test using nvme-cli showed zero errors. I'll try memtest later today.

Paste the output of cryptsetup benchmark

how about systemd-analyze and cryptsetup luksDump <lukspart> | grep Slot

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

I'm not using systemd. Grepping on Slot doesn't return any results.

@krolden @wesker As soon as my irritability crosses the 50% mark.😎

Today it happened for the first time for me. I use arch btw.
