Hello, I am trying to install KDE Neon on my old laptop with USB.
I made 4 partitions through the installer.
- 8GiB sized partition,
linuxswap, checked Encryption checkbox and it changed to LUKS.
- 512MiB sized partition,
FAT32, mounted on /boot/efi
- 10GiB sized partition,
brtfs, checked Encryption checkbox and it changed to LUKS, mounted on /(root)
- 40GiB sized partition,
brtfs, checked Encryption checkbox and it changed to LUKS, mounted on /home
And after installing and booting up, following error occurs:
/bin/cat: none: No such file or directory
Nothing to read on input.
cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?
maximum number of tries exceeded
I found several articles from a few months ago discussing about the same error, and a bug report(ID: 480856) too. However it seems to not be fixed yet, or did I set up wrongly?
I tried 2 versions of Neon so far: User edition(20240801-0717) and Developer edition(20240729-1603). And both didn’t work sadly.
Disk encryption should be done on LVM, so that entire LV is encrypted but you’re encrypting each partition separately?
You’re also missing /boot partition which should be unecrypted and /boot/efi mounted to it.
I am new to Linux and this is really confusing…
I did some searches, and it looks like in Ubuntu they just check a checkbox about using LVM. In KDE Neon what should I do in installer?
I tried making a separate partition in lvm2 pv and create new volume group, but installer crashed.
Setting up disk encryption is not a simple task so I’m not sure how to give you simple steps if you’re new to Linux.
The best method is to do disk encryption is during installment of Ubuntu.
During installation procedure in partition manager you need to set up encrypted LVM prior to actually installing system.
I suggest you to do this.
Encrypting disk on an already installed system is not as simple.
I suggest you to read some tutorials, for ex:
I see, I will try that later.
Thank you for the assistance!! Have a great day
