[opensuse] Encrypted home on Tumbleweed?
Now that I finally have Tumbleweed bootable on my laptop, I'm having problems getting the encrypted home to mount -- it never prompts for a password. During boot, it sits there for a while and says "a start job is running for dev-mapper-cr_home.device" but never Also, if I cat "boot.log", it says ...

You could try disabling plymouth. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

Here's what I did, just in case it's not the right thing -- I removed "splash=silent" from /etc/default/grub and a couple of places in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg After doing so, I don't get the weird three-dot splash screen anymore and see the stuff you see when you hit "esc" as you boot, but it still doesn't prompt me for the password. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Better "plymouth.enable=0". Change /etc/default/grub, then run: 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' afterwards to update If the procedure works, you can instead uninstall plymouth (taboo it in yast/zypper).
After doing so, I don't get the weird three-dot splash screen anymore and see the stuff you see when you hit "esc" as you boot, but it still doesn't prompt me for the password.
Does the text flow stop at some point, as if waiting for something? If so, then start typing the password. Do you see the text replaced by asterisks? If you see asterisks, it is reading the password; if you see the text, it is not, and the problem is something else. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

Maybe you could check the content of /etc/crypttab, see if your encrypted /home partition correctly appears in it. -- Sébastien 'sogal' Poher -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
