Anyone ever have cryptsetup just start hanging after entering password on boot? This seems like it’s going to be a fun issue to try to resolve…

    Boot with previous kernel ? If fail, boot from Linux live, connect, mount, make backups, and try to fix.

      How could you boot a different kernel if you can’t unlock the drive?

      Oddly, after a few tries I managed to get past. I religiously back things up, and just last night pushed all my current dots.

      I’m gonna run some drive diagnostics. If everything looks good, I’ll just repartition and take this as a sign to only use encryption on secondary drives where I backup sensitive info.

        I really need to get into pushing dot files. Every time I think „its not going to be that much“. Then I install a new system and like 20 apps, then I fiddle here and there. After a couple weeks I def rack up one or more hours of config.

          My protip is to use symlinks, and then just keep all your dots in a project folder. Makes it super easy to keep iterating on them in realtime, and pushing changes.

            Thats neat! Thanks for the suggestion. I‘ll try that. Currently am experimenting on libraries with my coding stuff.
