Hi! I mean just after computer turning on I get a screen waiting for a password to access encrypted drive. So, is it possible at this moment a BT keyboard is connected to the computer?
Hi @student975
By default: NO at all. But maybe, probably it could work with tweaks, but keep in mind: That is then another vulnerability since any BT Device can then connect… Better use the default method.
Thanks for the answer, I have marked as solution for common case.
At my case there are two specific circumstances:
- I don’t need encryption any more at all (and, well, reinstalling from zero is too time consuming).
- I have installed Manjaro on this computer few years ago, and probably some issue of that old installer resulted in rather interesting sequence of booting:
- I asked a password, but at this case the password hasn’t got any sense: basically I just hit Enter here
- ~20 seconds nothing happens
- GRUB is loading
- a password is asked again, and this time I must enter that password I selected for encryption
- KDE is loading without any delay
That is I guess only the first Enter is a problem (then, I guess, we can some way to tell via grub config to connect the kbd). Can it be overcome?
Addition: kernel config line in GRUB looks this way:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet cryptdevice=UUID=<some UUID>:luks-<the same UUID> root=/dev/mapper/luks-<the same UUID> resume=/dev/mapper/luks-<the same UUID>"
