bodicceaI have a few ecryptfs partitions. Since 21.04 (or maybe 20.10 ?), when I mount them, I am asked "Select key type to use for newly created files: 1) tspi 2) passphrase". I must select (2) before entering my passphrase. I did not have to do this before (it asked directly the passphrase). Is there a mount option or a configuration which would make these partitions mount without having to select the key type ?12:51
ioriabodiccea, if you run the man page (ecryptfs), you should find some examples and mount options (maybe use it with a launcher) :  https://linux.die.net/man/7/ecryptfs12:57
bodicceathx ioria. parameter is "key=passphrase". I wonder when this changed: I checked an old backup of my system (2018), and the man already had this option. But by default the mount was with passphrase. Nerver mind, I just made the change in fstab.13:15
NitrigaurCan someone help me troubleshooting an Ubuntu 21.04 multiboot install ? I think I may have chosen the wrong partition while installing the boot loader.13:21
NitrigaurThe result is an empty Grub Boot screen13:21
NitrigaurIt's an install on a UEFI laptop, using an extra efi partition, 2 LUKS encrypted partitions, one of them contains the /boot partition (using luks1) and the other partition contains an LVM volume group containing the root and home partitions.13:26

NitrigaurCan someone help me troubleshooting an Ubuntu 21.04 multiboot install ? I think I may have chosen the wrong partition while installing the boot loader. I' m currently within a live session on the machine, since I got an empty Grub screen after rebooting14:08
jeremy31You normally install grub to a drive not a partition14:11
coconutNitrigaur, grub goes to the mbr or gpt of the disk. You basicly cannot even change that, so there probably should be something else going.14:16

NitrigaurI get an empty Grub screen after installing Ubuntu 21.04 to my laptop (Multiboot). I'm using SecureBoot and I've Enrolled the MOK after installation using the same password as I entered during my installation15:40
NitrigaurMy partition setup (created before installation) is as follows: /boot within a luks1 encrypted partition, /, /home and swap within a luks2 encrypted partition15:44
NitrigaurI could not use the partitioning system included in ubiquity, since it does seem to offer an option with lvm on a luks encrypted volume.15:48
tomreynubiquity does not offer encrypting /boot (i assume that's what you mean).15:50
tomreynsecureboot adds enough complexity that i'd recommend testing this setup without the other complexity of the custom installation first of all.15:51
tomreynand what does an "empty grub screen" look like? entirely black, or a grub menu without any options, or the grub CLI, or something else?15:52
Nitrigaurtomreyn, I have indeed encrypted /boot . With empty grub screen I mean the Grub Cli, without any of the usual menu to choose an OS to boot.15:55
tomreynso grub shim probably failed to find / access the large / custom / template generated grub.cfg15:56
tomreyndoes it have its cryptdisk module?15:57
Nitrigaurtomreyn, that could indeed be the case. Should the cryptdisk module be visible as boot option in the cli?15:58
tomreyni mean "cryptodisk", had a typo there15:58
tomreyni think you would see it listed in the cli as an autocomplete option.15:59
Nitrigaurtomreyn, not cryptodisk, but I do see cryptomount as an option.15:59
Nitrigaurtomreyn, Could that be the option you are referring to?15:59
tomreynlet me try that on a VM which has a similar setup16:00
Nitrigaurtomreyn, I could send you a literal screen shot using my mobile phone using a picture pastebin?16:01
tomreynthat would be an option. i'm not sure whether this would convey more information than you did so far by rtext.16:02
tomreyn*text16:03
tomreynhmm, i seem to have destroyed that vm since16:03
tomreynhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 and https://cryptsetup-team.pages.debian.net/cryptsetup/encrypted-boot.html should help you, though16:05
tomreyni assume "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" is what you may have been missing16:06
tomreyn(followed by   sudo update-grub   )16:09
Nitrigaurtomreyn, I hope I can perform the steps mentioned after " Continue Testing " and thereby restore my system to bootable order without having to reinstall Ubuntu again. Thank you for the links. I expect them to be key to solve the issue I'm currently experiencing.16:12
tomreynNitrigaur: sinc eth einstallation is not currently bootable, you'd need to boot from live iso and chroot mount the installed system.16:14
tomreynbut that's effectively what this describes, yes16:15
Nitrigaurtomreyn, of course, but that's exactly what the mentioned articles describe. Thank you again. I seem to have forgot the time chatting to you and my girlfriend is a bit annoyed that I did not start cooking yet. I'll get back to this channel later and I'll tell you how it went.16:18

islandmonkeyHi there, I have a problem with my Xubuntu 21.04 system that is preventing me from setting any sort of timezone. The timezone is stuck at UTC and I can't load date time settings to change it. When I load time-admin via the terminal it spits out the message 'Could not open */usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab' and refuses to load. How do I get this file18:15
islandmonkeyback so that I can set my TZ again?18:15

islandmonkeyThe trouble with uninstalling tzdata it seems is that apt is threatening me that it will remove a lot of important along with tzdata, like xorg, all of xfce, plymouth, loads of python stuff18:32
pavlosdo you have files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ... there's a dir Europe which points to ../GB18:32

tomreyncornfeedhobo: normally, you should not mix packages for different releases, because this can cause dependencies not to resolve, or just library incompatibilities. if you know it's safe, though, you can do apt pinning to only whitelist specific packages from specific spt sources.22:11

tomreynright, /target was not mounted properly, youdidn't specify the subvolume there, so unmount it, mount it again but specify the proper subvol (maybe "root" or "top") and then do the rbinds again23:20
Nitrigaurtomreyn, I' ve read the link, but the root subvolume is not detected, nor is the main partition detected as btfrs using the btrfs subvolume list <device> command. The install itself went without a hitch. O have looked up the fstab within the etc directory on the target directory. The subvolume appears to be @23:53
