Hello togheter
I’ve installed my new notebook (Tuxedo Pulse 14 Gen3) with manjaro xfce 23.1.4.
Because I want to use the notebook for business I’ve chosen LUKS for root and SWAP. When booting, after entering the key, the following messages appear:
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk cryptouuid/d21317...
Are you using grub2 to boot the system?
Check /etc/default/grub if GRUB_DEFAULT=saved is set and possibly disable that followed by update-grub to regenerate /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Yes. I’ve grub2. After your change, the error message is the same.
Here my /etc/default/grub

The error message is only after i enter the passphrase, can’t find anything about it in logs (dmes, journalctl).

what does the parted utility say about /dev/nvme0n1p1 partitions alignment?
1 aligned
OK, seems to be all right, but...
let's check manually alignment to 4096B (necessary in case of SSD HDD):
Number Start End Size File system Flags
1 0 % 4096 = 0 314572799(+1) % 4096 = 0 314572800 % 4096 = 0
OK, everything divisible by 4096, lucky you! :)
