Hello,
I've re-installed openSuse 10.3 on my new laptop to have an encrypted root partition (after my first try following http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO failed).
So I started with a fresh install. So far it worked with encrypting the root- and the swap partition, but there remain some questions:
a) I am not asked for the password at boot, instead the boot process just stops after some usb-messages and "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice". Then I have to hit enter, and then "enter LUKS passphrase" appears where I can enter it. It then finally boots correct.
This would seem normal to me. Once you enter your encryption passphrase a password is redundant. sort of like logging on to a remote ssh server. Once you supply a passphrase for your locally stored private key, you don't need a password for the remote server. If you don't use a passphrase for your private key, you don't need any password at all. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
