Hello,
I just installed OS3 on a Macbook and, of course, I wanted to encrypt it as I have done it with all my machines.
what is OS3 ? do you mean OS 12.3 ?
But ooh: there's no boot.crypt anymore and my many times used approach does not work anymore. S***
Correct, boot.crypt was part of sysvinit booting, which is gone.
So I went to Yast (after swapoff --all and making sure the swap dev was not mounted) and told it to format the swap partition with encryption. It asked me for the passphrase but then ended up in some errors (sorry, forgot the numbers, googling did nod give any results).
OK, this is the part that matters, information is missing,..,
So, ok, I thought, maybe I do it with a fresh install and directly encrypt the partitions.
But ooo, again: when telling to encrypt / it says: it is not possible to have / encrypted (although I have a separate, not encrypted /boot).
So, is it true, that is is not possible to have a somehow safe computer with Opensuse anymore?? For me encrypting only the home partition doesn't make any sense when there is a freely readable swap and /. Or did the installer just have a bad moment and made a joke on me?
Any hints are more than welcome...
Yes, it is possible.. but you need a separate /boot .. I dont know exactly what you did so cannot help further until you describe step by step what you did and what was the exact result. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
