Nothing like a fucking kernel corruption after Ubuntu update and restart.

It's so great

Really

My two hard drives now are encrypted and to unlock them the kernel should be intact.

The amount of time it'll take to reconfigure my machine to work is insane.

Also, I had commits in products I'm working that weren't on remote. So fuck me.

Now I have to do a fresh install and hope that I can read my second drive.

Don't you still have the previous kernel installed? Never autoremove before you reboot.

Ubuntu lists all previous versions, but any of them keeps the boot process, it fails to load the necessary parts to unlock the disk.

It's a bios setting + crypto locker

Also, shouldn't the disks still be mountable if you boot from e.g. a usb disk

WAIT

@electrineer second hard disk is, I can see it on live USB

To fresh install Ubuntu, I must disable RST on BIOS.

I disabled that bastard and tried running ubuntu from my hard disk.

IT BOOTS + CRYPTO LOCKER FINDS THE DRIVE

@electrineer thanks for making me think dude, the rant is over haha

@ChristoPy thinking is often advantageous, lol

what - no backup?

no mercy.

@tosensei I did after boot haha

I have had this issue for last two weeks, literally fixed it last night. I did autoremove which removed cryptosetup package which is essential for disk enc/dec

After lot of failed attempts, I have fixed it very easily by getting into recovery mode and ran "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" which will install all the missing packages and you will immediately get into login screen.

You will also see other default/unwanted programs installed in the process. You can just manually remove them after login.

Is this full disk encryption or just encrypted home folders?

@jasongodev Full encryption

@ChristoPy you can use GParted to open a particular partition if you just need to recover a couple of files from inside

@jasongodev agree but at the time I couldn't get into OS, so there was no such option

@rEaL-jAsE yes, I can

@rEaL-jAsE

What a masterpiece of shitpost 😂
You, Sir, made my day. Thank you.
