after the install, i can access the existing luks partition after the install cryptosetup. So it's not an unsupported format ;) Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. maybe duplicate/related to bug 3482 Assigned to the packages maintainers. (Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it) Keywords:

Triaged Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.gz please? Keywords:
(none) =>
NEEDINFO I can confirm this one as well. It isn't fixed in Mageia 2 alpha 2 either. CC:

uberscubajim Oh, hang on. It isn't fixed if you install from the live CD but the network install seems to work OK..... *** Bug 3513 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can users experiencing this problem who used drakx-installer (not LiveCD), please attach /root/drakx/report.gz as asked for in comment 3 (In reply to comment #5) > Oh, hang on. It isn't fixed if you install from the live CD but the network > install seems to work OK..... @ Blino Is this supposed to work when installing from the liveCD, too? If it is, maybe Jim's bug 3513 can be reopened and used CC:
(none) =>
mageia, marja11 It can't work with LiveCD because cryptsetup is not in the <LiveCD Name>.lst file. CC:
(none) =>
dvgevers please if it's another issue, open another bug. @ Yves Please attach the file Thierry asked for in comment 3, or, when trying to reproduce this problem, plug in a usb stick and switch to console 2 (by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2') during installation, and type: 'bug' then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the key. For the record, it works for me Status from beta1 pre release test: Creating a new encrypted partition at install time results in the described "cryptsetup failed" popup. Using existing encrypted partitions does work. CC:

oliver.bgr I can confirm Oliver's comment. This was when installing from the Mageia-2-beta1-i586-DVD.iso image.

fri This was caused by a change implemented at my request in bug 3092. The xts kernel module is not available in the installer's kernel. During a normal usage of an xts encrypted filesystem, I also see the cryptd module. Both modules should be added to the kernel in the installer. CC:

RESOLVED I'm able to test as soon as the new boot.iso is available. OK, I've tried it with the boot.iso dated 24-Feb-2012 with the SHA1 value that starts bc17b44 and I still get the "cryptsetup failed" error message. Any ideas? (In reply to comment #15) > Fixed. > boot.iso is being regenerated Wouldn't it be the drakx-installer-stage2 that needs to have the kernel modules added in the mdkinst.sqfs file?

REOPENED Stage2 has already been rebuild: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47968256 Feb 24 16:43 mdkinst.sqfs* You need to retest Created attachment 1639 [details]
Patch for /usr/lib/libDrakX/fs/dmcrypt.pm
This is strange. It fails until I manually run "modprobe xts". I've been
using xts mode for years, and didn't even know that xts mode used a
separate kernel module. I've never had to modprobe it before.
Anywahy here's a patch to add xts to the list of modules loaded for
rpmdrake when encrypting a filesystem.
Applied drakxtools-backend needs to be pushed, and then drakx-installer-stage2 rebuilt so we can finish testing. installer is already up to date Closing Status:
REOPENED =>
RESOLVED Sorry, I need to reopen because it is not fixed. I have the same problem with Mageia 2 Beta 3. You can find the detailed log for ALT+F3 output here : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5661 Status:

critical why have you reopen this bug if you have make another one ? the apposite question is also true Hello Manuel
>why have you reopen this bug if you have make another one ?
Because I don't know if the mageia developpers want to work with this ticket or the new one that I have opened.
Ok, I will close this ticket and stay tuned with the other ticket.Status:
REOPENED =>
RESOLVED This one was fixed. Status:

VERIFIED Thank you :) Confirming it now works to open up and use an encrypted LVM. However, there is a somewhat confusing delay, bug 5886. |
