Problems with the first boot after hard disk encryption

Hello, I have a problem:

-I installed Manjaro today with hard drive encryption.

  • Installation successful, now reboot

  • I enter my password for the hard drive, it works and the operating system loading symbol appears.

  • After a few seconds the following error appears

Here is another picture of the fstab file:

I can’t go any further, I hope you have a solution.

If you don’t understand how to access an encrypted partition - don’t encrypt it.

If you still want to do, read this:

And: Don’t post pictures if you simply can copy and paste the text.

Since you are new to this and apparently your first - I suggest you start from scratch and wipe the failed installation.

Thanks for the answer, I did it exactly as described in this article, and I always get the error as shown in the first screenshot

And the man who wrote that article recommends:

Sorry for the confusion, but I tried several times to do it as described in the article. The only difference in the output is that I no longer have to/can enter my hard drive password, but the error screen appears directly.

The mentioned article is only relevant if one wants to use unencrypted boot.

The reason for wanting this is an old issue with grub having nonexisting or poor support for decrypting LUKS2 - I don’t really remember - the article was intended to help those suffering long loading time during decryption phase.

I vaguely recall reading that grub has gotten luks2 support so the article may be obsolete.

//EDIT

For purpose of verifying the article’s approach to using unencrypted boot I have created a virtual machine.

Started the vm using the December 16. 2024 ISO release.

I cannot reproduce your issue - so there is that.

As I see it you have 3 options

  1. redo the installation without encryption
  2. redo the installation with full disk encryption
  3. reread the guide and follow it thoroughly

Have fun …
