Installing GRUB with full-disk encryption

Support
1

Per the discussion in the recent testing update thread, I’ve been trying to understand how to correctly install GRUB when required, instead of only updating it. However, I enabled full-disk encryption when I installed my system, using the option provided in the standard GUI installer.

I see in the docs that the install-grub script, which seems like the simplest way to accomplish this, does not support “fancy encryption.” Does the standard full-disk encryption count as “fancy”? If install-grub does not support it, what needs to be done differently to install GRUB when full-disk encryption is in use? I’m not seeing any mention of encryption in those docs to describe how to handle this case.

I’ve searched around but I cannot seem to find additional information about this, so any help would be appreciated!

No.
The “standard” isn’t “fancy”.

But you could always do it like described a bit later in the doc:

GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro

because it makes no difference
(except in the configuration → /etc/default/grub and /etc/mkinitcpio.conf - but that is not part of the installation procedure)

That makes sense, thank you!
