Re: Remove disk encryption in Maintenance Mode

I am not sure what version mine last worked on. I would guess the default changed on 39 or 40. What fixed it for me (type plain password from stdin) was adding --hash ripemd160 (they appear to have changed the default hash, BAD developer). Guessing related to this: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/

Re: Remove disk encryption in Maintenance Mode

I tried to upgrade 3 different machine from 40 to 41. All older that boot with /boot/efi. Two machines were laptops and one machine was a desktop media server. All three failed the same way. The disk decryption mechanism did not work. Same error message generated. If I had to guess, I believe th
