Hi,
are you sure there is a luks Header in the image file?
Let's try a cryptsetup luksDump /dev/looop0 - to check if there is a
luks header and if it is intact first.

Hello,
despite my many researches and questions on various forums. I cannot
retrieve datas from an encrypted user.img file for which i have the
user.key .
These files come from an opensuse linux 10.3 where i had a user with an
encrypted directory mounted during login with a /home/user.img and a
/home/user.key in the /home/user directory.
It suddenly became inaccessible. I dont know the reason why.
Maybe i had too much data on it.
Maybe because i made an hazardous pam_mount update from an unofficial
repository. I rolled back to the official version of pam_mount with no joy.
Maybe because i used the suse tool to modify the user encrypted
directory's size. I don't know why.
But i still have the user.img and the user.key . And i know the user's
password.
So i tried many times, on opensuse 10.3 and on opensuse 11.1 to open the
user.img with the user.key, without any success.
I have a copy of the user.img and user.key on a dvd. And i copied these
files on the opensuse 11.1 partition.
What i do is :
losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/user.img
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 /path/to/userDirectory
It asks for a passphrase and i enter the user's password (is it what
cryptosetup wants ?). It asks 3 times for it and i get a :
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.
So i try this :
cryptsetup -d /path/to/user.key luksOpen /dev/loop0 /path/to/userDirectory
and i get this :
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.
And i am stuck at this point.
I would appreciate any help for that, because these lost datas are useful...
Thanks for your help.
