[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#931710: Bug#931710: Cryptroot-unlock Timeout on askpass

[Luke Flinders]

Hi Guilhem,

Yes it is being run from an initramfs shell, sorry for leaving that out.
Requested information is as follows;

cat /etc/crypttab
sda5_crypt UUID=ec7880bc-c758-4681-8e94-b21f13752b48 none luks,discard

cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/mapper/kali--vg-root /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=5264b2eb-3b0c-4b82-896b-c44b1dd5bae6 /boot           ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/mapper/kali--vg-swap_1 none            swap    sw              0       0


Kind regards,

Luke Flinders

Are you running `cryptroot-unlock` from an initramfs shell?  Could you please share your partitioning information (/etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab)?
The message suggests that there is no cryptsetup (askpass) prompt running at this time, so I'd like to see how the device stack unfolds at initramfs stage.

Just for the record, this bug tracker is public :-)
