Yes, I noticed my mistake there just now. - i give: Deriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done The filesystem id in the config file is different to the last time we loaded a filesystem from this basedir. This can be genuine if you replaced the filesystem with a different one. If you didn't do that, it is possible that an attacker did. Do you want to continue loading the file system? Your choice [y/n]: - Anyway, I think when I was trying to open it before seeking support, I might have corrupted or something similar to the file. Luckily, I had a backup in another encryption, so I guess there won't be any recovery. With everything considered, I appreciate the support! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472633 --- Comment #3 from Ivan Čukić --- Looks like you put the wrong directory in the cryfs command - it should not be the path to the location where vault shows the data when opened, but the path to encrypted data. If you didn't change the default path when creating the vault, it will be in your home directory under ~/.local/share/plasma-vault/ Apart from getting the path from plasmavaultrc, you can also find all directories where cryfs keeps its data by doing (this will search only under your user's home directory): find ~ -name 'cryfs.config' > when I did the apt upgrade, it was open and had some security and > firmware updates, could it have some relevance?

Hi, Thanks for your answer. Worked to open but the folder is empty. I just remembered when I did the apt upgrade, it was open and had some security and firmware updates, could it have some relevance? Ps. in this step i put Y. cryfs /home/user/Vaults/folder/ /tmp/folder CryFS Version 0.10.2 Use default settings?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472633 --- Comment #1 from Ivan Čukić --- Vault doesn't handle the data, the only way for the data to disappear is if they were deleted or there was a filesystem corruption. I'd try to mount the cryfs manually - see the relevant paths in the .config/plasmavaultrc The location of the encrypted data is the path in square brackets. For example, [/home/user/.vaults/SomeVaultName.enc]. First, backup that directory somewhere just in case. After that, do this: mkdir /tmp/SomeVaultName cryfs /home/user/.vaults/SomeVaultName.enc /tmp/SomeVaultName If you get an error saying something about the filesystem needs to be upgraded, call cryfs --allow-filesystem-upgrade /home/user/.vaults/SomeVaultName.enc /tmp/ SomeVaultName If that doesn't help (it should mount the data into /tmp/SomeVaultName) post me the error message you got. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
