Public bug reported: This bug deserves some attention because it's caused by an Ubuntu specific patch not being in sync with upstream.
The debian/initramfs/cryptroot-unlock script can be used with dropbear- initramfs to remotely unlock an encrypted root partition via SSH. This functionality has been broken since version 2:2.0.4-2ubuntu1. The reason is that upstream (Debian) in version 2:2.0.3-7 started normalizing paths to allow the script to work on UsrMerged installs: https://salsa.debian.org/cryptsetup- team/cryptsetup/commit/f1c56c19fea6dc988c1f29fb however the Ubuntu patch introduced to fix LP: 1651818 was brought on to newer versions without introducing the required normalization. The fix is adding a "readlink" where required (patch attached). ** Affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "cryptroot-unlock-path-normalization.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840752/+attachment/5283423/+files/cryptroot-unlock-path-normalization.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840752 Title: cryptroot-unlock fails to find the askpass process To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1840752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
