Hi, the machine is running openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240417. I am not able to mount an external encrypted usb any longer by using System Tray method (just noticed, from Plasma 6 System Tray). I have not attempted using Snapper to rollback the OS yet.
...
It seems as if something with how Plasma 6 uses luksOpen has broken. I have not used the following in Konsole yet - cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc cr_ARBITRARY_NAME *because* I do not think I should have to do this with the volume already having a name.
This name is not the disk or partition name. It is just the name of the internally used device name. It can be a completely random name.
I understand that much I think you mean the name that 'Device mapper' assigns it for the particular instance? It appears there is a new Tumbleweed snapshot available. The following product is going to be upgraded: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240417-0 -> 20240418-0 Do you think I should attempt to update the machines OS and see if it resolves?

When you mount it via desktop automatic doings, the desktop assigns it a name, which can be random or obtained "somehow".
I see now that the desktop assigns the usb a "Device mapper" name "somehow". On this devices encrypted partition I have previously labeled it a specific name and when it used to be mounted the name 'WORLDWIDE1' would identify it in Dolphin. Also in Konsole I believe (/run/media/username/WORLDWIDE1). A different machine... laptop here is using an old version of Tumbleweed 32 bit 20240310 and the desktop allows for unlocking still. Passing: # l /dev/mapper then displays the device as - luks-fd28e551-c765-461e-aab0-a2c49bb786b9 -> /dm-4 <- So that is it's ARBITRARY_NAME for the session. The issue is that I can not mount it "via desktop automatic doings" anymore. Do you think I should attempt to file a bug report about this? 🫥
