[00:51] need 3 more though of higher power quantity to keep all my crap running though [00:52] i hiave a several-server cluster here :P [00:53] I totally jinxed myself. I had to run back into work tonight because there was a report of an electronic burning smell from one of the network closets. Turns out one of the charge controllers on an external battery pack on the UPS died. XD [00:54] Laugh is on me now :) [01:03] wxl, @tsimonq2 which was the licence we should use? GPL? LGPL?

[10:08] I'd think that may come from e2fsck but hard to know from the little info [10:17] OK, I'm wrong! It is/could be GRUB ! [10:17] thanks TJ- :) (even better, I was about to hit enter & post question... [10:18] ./grub-core/fs/ext2.c::grub_ext2_iterate_dir() ... [10:18] if (diro->inode.flags & grub_cpu_to_le32_compile_time (EXT4_ENCRYPT_FLAG)) [10:18] { [10:18] grub_error (GRUB_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_YET, "directory is encrypted"); [10:18] return 0; [10:18] } [10:18] So, EXT4_ENCRYPT_FLAG is apparently set... so deliberate or corruption [10:19] Best to find out if there is a separate /boot/ file-system or if /boot/ is part of the root file-system - because GRUB is presumably trying to read its /boot/grub/* files and failing [10:20] thank you HEAPS :) [10:21] I'd suggest boot from LiveISO and do an fsck initially plus use 'dumpe2fs -h ...' on that block device to grab the FS metadata [10:21] yeah i'd already guessed the fsck, not the dump2fs though [10:21] guiverc: I'm not sure how/if the superblock shows an encrypted flag, let me check [10:23] I'd think it might be mentioned in the "Filesystem features:" but let me create a test FS with encryption enabled and check that [10:24] thanks, but you're already somewhat above my head-limit.. you've given me heaps to respond with; won't a `fsck` have a good chance of fix or do you think corruption chance is likely to go beyond that [10:29] From what I can see this is per-directory not per-filesystem. There's a tool in e2fsprogs "e4crypt" but its man-page is quite opaque on how to use, but looks like this has to be done deliberately. If this is not corruption and is not done by the user then I'd suspect Malware or some malicious person with access to the PC [10:30] thank you TJ-, you don't mind if I post all this discussion there? [10:30] Unfortunately GRUB isn't telling us which directory is encrypted [10:30] Not at all, the more user knows the better [10:31] Invstigate from a LiveISO for sure [10:35] thanks heaps TJ- [10:37] It is a weird one for sure [10:40] This page is useful https://loune.net/2018/12/ext4-encryption-multiple-filesystems-and-salt/ [10:40] apparently if there are some directories/files encrypted the superblock will contain: [10:40] # sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sdb2 | grep Salt [10:40] Encryption PW Salt: d24c7f08-5092-4b3a-9180-6ed8244513e8 [10:41] So I'd think that'd appear in the '-h' superblock summary output I mentioned earlier [10:43] more interesting, the Arch wiki contains this "Note: Ext4 forbids encrypting the root (/) directory and will produce an error on kernel 4.13 and later" [10:44] So that would infer the encrypted directory isn't / but possibly /boot/ or /boot/grub/ [10:44] and apparently it is an FS feature since you can do "tune2fs -O encrypt /dev/device" [10:51] There's a tool in the archive for generic handling of this kernel-level file-system encryption, the package is "fscrypt" and it's a single GoLang binary. The package description suggests it handles PAM for user log-in to add the keys. [11:00] if the OP was correct in not having encryption; i doubt the fscrypt would help (it'll be corruption or user doesn't know their own system..) [11:02] Well, it would be an easy check to see if that package is installed [11:02] e2fsprogs will always be installed so we can't deduce usage of e4crypt from its presence, but if fscrypt is installed, we can [11:47] A friend of mine has a problem with almost all ubuntu versions. Live usb works fine. Installation also completes successfully and then after rebooting, when he enters password at log in screen. His screen goes blank. [11:49] He's downloading lubuntu rn. But anyone has any ideas as to why same problem occurs in kde neon, kubuntu, manjaro kde, ubuntu and elementary OS? [11:50] Works fine with Pop OS. But he's looking for something other than gnome. [11:55] Nvidia video card perhaps? [12:21] Yes, seems like video problem [14:21] Yup! [14:22] Forwarded him the response from Ubuntu support channel. [14:22] But pop os managed it automatically. Without needing to tweak manually. [14:23] Why don't others do that? [14:25] Pop!_OS has a version of their iso that enables proprietary Nvidia drivers from the start. [14:26] Read non-free ^ [15:11] kc2bez: Thanks for the info. [15:38] @kc2bez I read your comment on T99. Also saw your paste. The difference between that and my patch is "QstringLiiteral" in line 8 of P31. but you didn't get a compilation error? I had written exactly what's in your paste in my patch but then I got errors while building. Ref: lines 607 - 610 in my build log. [15:39] @The_LoudSpeaker [@kc2bez I read your comment on T99. Also saw your paste. The difference between …], I will look again but I don't recall any errors in my build. [15:40] Okay. Let me know when you check. I will try again using your paste in sometime.
