Subject: [dm-crypt] Can't open luks after switching distros
To: dm-crypt@saout.de

My computer broke and I am now regressed to a 32 bit p4.
The problem is that my passphrase is said to be incorrect

% uname -a
Linux P4 4.9.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u1 (2017-12-23) i686
GNU/Linux

I am running Devuan (Debian derivative), Linux and I tried the native
cryptsetup 1.7.3-4 and I also compiled and tried with 1.7.5 which is
compiled by default against libgcrypt20 1.7.6-2+deb9u2 .

I tried several different ways to write my passphrase without success. I
did type it out and then copy it via screen as soon as I noticed that I
was having trouble so that there was no chance of typing errors.
I last opened the container and partition using knoppix on this system.
Container is a backup of of the files on a home filesystem which is also
encrypted with the same passphrase. I have tried to luks open both the
container and the filesystem without success.
I have no recollection as to which gcrypt/crypsetup my 64-bit or knoppix
live dvd use(s|d).

Thanks,
David
