It's more likely to be a distribution front-end to the tools that unlock the LUKS container. I'd recommend that you look to see if this is a known issue with your distribution and distribution version; if not, consider filing a bug report with the distribution vendor. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@xxxxxxxxxxx “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?” _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
