[Bug 851767] New: No gui prompt for passphrase for encrypted fs
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851767 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851767#c0 Summary: No gui prompt for passphrase for encrypted fs Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: alanprescott@yahoo.co.uk QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 The prompt for a passphrase for an encrypted root LV is in a scrolling text console which is not at all user-friendly for non-tech users. In openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 the prompt for the passphrase brought up a gui widget which, although not perfect, was a vast improvement over a text prompt in the middle of a load of technical boot information. Without a gui for the passphrase 13.1 is simply not suitable for installation on encrypted devices (net-books, lap-tops etc. I've tried installing 13.1 as an upgrade to an existing 12.3 system, as a new install over an existing 12.3 system and as a new install on unformatted disks accepting the default LVM & encrypted volume group settings and all have a text-based prompt for the passphrase. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSUSE 13.1 2.Set up root and swap as encrypted LVM 3. Actual Results: Prompt for passphrase for encrypted LVM appeared as a text prompt within boot reporting Expected Results: As with 12.2 and 12.3 I expected to see a clean user-friendly gui prompt for the passphrase. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851767 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851767#c1 --- Comment #1 from Alan Prescott <alanprescott@yahoo.co.uk> 2013-11-25 15:46:04 UTC --- This has now got weird. Having built a basic system on a single HDD using the encrypted LVM option I have now configured 2 additional HDDs as a RAID1 device holding a second LVM with 2 LVs both encrypted with the same passphrase (also the same as the passphrase for the system LVM). (I had to build the RAID after the initial configuration as when I tried to build it as part of the installation it threw up errors.) I am now getting 2 prompts for passwords. The first prompt is unchanged as a text prompt for the partition containing the system LVM cr_ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7481dd63-5a3f100d7-part2. The second prompt appears as a gui after the splash screen appears. The name of the device it is for runs off the screen but if I press ESC it appears to be for cr_ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7482dd63-5a3f100d7-part2. Please note the differences in the names - VB7481 and VB7482. There is nothing in /dev/disk/by-id referring to cr_ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7482dd63-5a3f100d7-part2. FYI - /etc/crypttab currently looks like this cr_ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7482dd63-5a3f10d7-part2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7481dd63-5a3f10d7-part2 none none cr_home /dev/data/home none none cr_data /dev/data/data none none -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I added keyfiles to the LVs on the RAID and edited /etc/crypttab to use them and still got the second (gui) prompt. I then commented out the extra LVs in crypttab and I'm still getting the second (gui) prompt. FYI - /etc/crypttab now looks like this cr_ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7482dd63-5a3f10d7-part2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB7481dd63-5a3f10d7-part2 none none #cr_home /dev/data/home /etc/local/machines/vm01/passwd/luks_fs.passwd luks #cr_data /dev/data/data /etc/local/machines/vm01/passwd/luks_fs.passwd luks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
