Interesting thread https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/495266-After-update-root-works-but-not-regular-user which boils down to following: user is using "tmp" option for /tmp crypto container in /etc/crypttab (in this case it seems it was created by installer without user even realizing it). This recreates filesystem every time, this resetting permissions of fs root to default. It in turn breaks KDM which needs /tmp to be writable. I wonder what is the proper place to fix it. Reading crypttab manual, it says The encrypted block device will be prepared for using it as /tmp; it will be formatted using mke2fs(8). This option implies plain. And /tmp is almost universally used with 1777 permissions today (and it is expected to be world writable in any case), so I would say - cryptsetup should do it; the only question is whether it should do it unconditionally? _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
