11:34 <wpwrak> eintopf: "cat explorer" ;-)

21:17 <astr> know anything about cryptsetup ubuntu/debain installs?

21:17 <whitequark> I have one

21:25 <astr> whitequark, I did a full install custom encrypted / . so no swap just /boot & / and no lvm. it works but I mounted / and added some files and now when I boot it and correctly enter my pass it doesn't complete boot with the error of the checksum not matching for root fs. how do I regenerate this checksum?

21:25 <whitequark> what is the error exactly?

21:25 <whitequark> and which FS?

21:25 <astr> ext4

21:26 <astr> did a FS check and that was fine no errors

21:27 <astr> I think it's becuase I modified / when the sytem wasn't booted and somewhere there is a checksum for / to see if it's been modified which is checked when I try to boot the system

21:27 <whitequark> there is no such checksum

21:28 <whitequark> what is the exact error you're getting?

21:28 <astr> ok well I enter my password and then I get the option of maintence shell or S for skip

21:28 <whitequark> can you take a photo of it or type the error exactly as it appears?

21:28 <astr> I forget exalty I think it was something like "checksum did not match"

21:28 <whitequark> well, I can't help you with that.

21:29 <astr> sigh ok, i'll reboot laptop. thank you for baring with me

21:40 <astr> not long now...

21:43 <astr> crypt_sdc5 cryptsetup setup usefully

21:44 <astr> press s to skip mounting or m for manual recovery

21:44 <astr> whitequark,

21:44 <astr> press S get continure to wait, or press S to skip.......

21:45 <astr> screen gone black no info even after pressing esc to get console

21:48 <astr> giving up killing it

21:48 <astr> hmnm

21:48 <astr> #2

21:49 <whitequark> that's not the entire message, is it?

21:49 <whitequark> also, "usefully"? wtf

21:49 <astr> hang on

21:50 <astr> opps sorry i mean : successfully

21:50 <whitequark> so where's the checksum error there?

21:50 <astr> trying to find it

21:51 <astr> ok so after cryptsetup: sdc5_crypt setup seccessfully then I get "Keys: Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"

21:51 <astr> this time I press M instead of S

21:51 <whitequark> it should have printed something else before, then

21:52 <astr> in maintenance console: "root filesystem check failed."

21:52 <astr> a maintence shell with now be started

21:52 <astr> control-d to reboot

21:53 <astr> so I see the error when I press M for manual recovery

21:53 <astr> "root filesystem check failed."

21:53 <astr> hmm what to do

21:53 <whitequark> so, this is simply a dirty filesystem

21:53 <whitequark> fsck it.

21:53 <astr> but I did a fsck with gpared allreadly

21:53 <astr> gparted

21:54 <whitequark> well, do it from the maintenance shell

21:54 <astr> I booted into my other install unlocked the encrypted partition and did a ....

21:55 <astr> ok

21:56 <astr> fsck /dev/mapper/sdc5_crypt I shall do

21:56 <astr> e2fsck: reports it as clean

21:57 <astr> I assume you don't need the files and blocks count?

21:57 <astr> arrr I wonder.....

21:57 <astr> no never mind

21:58 <astr> then again maybe mount for the dev point was the wrong one as /etc/mtab is not updated

21:58 <astr> ...

21:59 <astr> i'll try agian

21:59 <astr> cat /proc/mounts

22:02 <astr> how to get dev point for encrypted ext4 FS

22:03 <astr> hmm /etc/crypttab

22:03 <astr> oh no

22:03 <astr> thanks no it

22:16 <astr> why did i write thanks no it urgh

22:20 <astr> whitequark, arr ok just running fsck was all was needed

22:22 <astr> oh but yea fsck says clean for /boot partition and for ext4 / partition

22:23 <astr> well encryped device/dev point

22:25 <astr> "/dev/mapper/sdc5_crypt: clean, 21047/1908736 files, 1542919/7623680"

22:25 <astr> blocks

22:27 <astr> whitequark, not fixed, see above. when I said fsck was all was needed I meant just "fsck" not fsck <pram>

23:38 <astr> fsck -f / resulstin clean
