[opensuse-support] Invalid password file /run/systemd/ask-password/ask.Kilegy
[Leap 15 / btrfs, fresh install about a month old, running off a NVMe m.2 2280, on a Dell T3620 that was previously booting (and still multiboots) 42.3 and some others off a rotating drive] After an aborted boot and a reboot I got the following messages in the reboot's journal: dellT3620 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent[866]: Invalid password file /run/systemd/ask-password/ask.Kilegy dellT3620 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent[866]: Failed to show password: Bad message These journal messages are gone after another subsequent reboot but that's scary words. Who/what is 'Kilegy' (there's no such file, now)? What exactly is/was this all about? Thanks!

After an aborted boot and a reboot I got the following messages in the reboot's journal:

No hardware encryption. OS 15 (btrfs, on the NVMe) is not software encrypted. /home (xfs, also on the NVMe) and a data partition (ext4, on a rotating drive) are both LUKS encrypted. Other drives / partitions on this machine, not belonging to this OS and not in fstab, are also LUKS. (all LUKS, no LUKS2) Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Well, it is related to them. Do you get the prompt to provide the password during boot properly? Can you boot successfully, or the message is the only problem? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

It is just random character sequence to create temporary file name.

If you have LUKS container that is configured to open on boot, it is likely where it comes from. The error itself is unexpected though, something goes wrong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
