Hi Jonas, Thanks for the reply. > Is it possible that you setup a new luks device on your /home device during > kubuntu installation instead of activating an existing one? > That's exactly what happened. It never occurred to me that Kubuntu's crummy setup tool would not detect the same technology that it uses. I thot it was using "cryptsetup create ..." But the other partitions it setup are luks... what do they think will happen at next install? I'll send them a bug report. > In that case you're out of luck as long as you don't have a backup of the luks header > from your old encrypted /home device. > Don't the faq's say not to make a backup? Also, if the real key is in the header... how does luks prevent it from being used w/out the password? Might a future version keep backup headers automatically, in case of brain dead users, and crummy setup tools?
