Description Alwin 2016-12-06 20:51:39 UTC

Description of problem:

I'd created several times with livecd-iso-to-disk a bootable usb with fedora on it, various versions. It should include a encrypted home. Creation works, eg, ask for password on create and so on. 

When booting, I see short a password prompt, but system-start messages move it out and I can not enter a password encrypting the home image. Switching to another console after start let me login as root, but homefolder and overlay are not mounted.

When creating usb stick with unencrypted home (--unencrypted-home) everything works fine. eg, UI starts up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Create usb stick from a live-iso with a home and boot it. You'll not able entering a password for unlocking the home and system start stops. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

USB with encrypted home is not usable

Expected results:

On boot of usb stick the system boot should stop until the password for the home partition is entered.

Ok - retested. Seem with the standard workstation ISO it works, but not with the kde spin...

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:43:25 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:52:30 UTC

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
