This is weird, when I last tried I didn't experience any problem and all required packages were installed. Which install mode did you use, from what media (if you have the download url that would be even better) ? > BTW is there a way to make the boot process cache the pass phrase, so > that when I'm using the same for several partitions it would only ask > once? No that I know of, and I wouldn't use luks if it was caching the pass-phrase leaving it accessible for "reuse". I think that would defeat the purpose. You can use decrypt_derived or random key for the swap partition for instance, and use pam-mount for the others, it will save you some typing at the cost of having the same password for account login and luks decryption. Or store the key on a different media plugged-in at boot time, or on the first decrypted partition (insecure). It's all a matter of compromise between security and comfort/usability. > > Christian. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
