Hey everyone, I'm running into issues regarding systemd-homed. I couldn't find an answer in the manuals, any forums and nobody could help me in #systemd either, which is why I turned to this list. Basically, I have a valid ehud.home file that uses LUKS as storage, to which I know the password of. Due to some mistakes on my part, I deleted the ehud.identity file located in /var/lib/systemd/home/. My question now is: Do I need that identity file to access my home again? I'm hoping no because of three things: - In the manual it says "The user's password is identical to the encryption passphrase of the LUKS2 volume." - When I try "homectl activate ehud", it asks for my password and in the logs it says: "systemd-homework[4855]: Provided password unlocks user record." - Afterwards, it says in the logs "Failed to validate disk label: Package not installed" (I couldn't figure out which package?) but nonetheless a new (to me fine-looking) ehud.identity file is placed in /var/lib/systemd/home/ This seems to align with my understanding that there's also an (encrypted) ~/.identity file in my (encrypted) home that can only be retrieved with the user password. Am I correct in this? My issue is that the home cannot be mounted through homectl. It always asks for my password and then fails with "Operation on home ehud failed: Failed to execute operation: Package not installed". When I use a wrong password, it says password incorrect, so the password must be correct. I also tried mounting the .home file manually (as it appears to be a MBR) but had no success either. I am suspecting this issue has something to do with the signature of the identity file somehow? (Everything worked fine until I removed the identity file originally) But if so, does that mean to migrate one has to always migrate the .home and the .identity file? If this is a signature issue, is there an option to run systemd-homed in "unsafe" mode just ignoring those signatures and mounting anyway? Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help! Can provide more details if requested. Cheers Ehud
