now here is my problem , until recently it all worked fine the sda1 had 11.4/sysv init on it and I was running 12.1 and later factory on my sdb1 .now when I boot the boot messages pass and I even see a line asking me password for the sdb1 but it's followed by other messages and I can't input the password and it goes into waiting mode for the encrypted partition to somehow magically show up , and when I type the password it's displayed in plain text and it won't have any effect at all. I am thinking luks/cryptsetup isn't for some reason allowed to receive input from stdin. and it sounds like a systemd(or maybe luks) thing to me.
sorry can't really help other than to say I have a fully encrypted luks drive that took the passwd fine under systemd on 12.1. I have now swapped to the old init as i was having nvidia issues which turned out to be a bad upgrade that left an old library in the system which confused kwin.
May be you will need to boot a rescue disk and open your luks drive and mount the drives and make the change back to sysv
I can succesfuly open the luks disk from my backup installation (which is not encrypted) . and changing back to sysv on the luks disk won't do any good since the issue happens without the luks disk being opened. the issue imo lies in the initrd. is there a new way of building them that I don't know about ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
