Hi,

first Thanks for you're work.

I installed Cinnamon encrypted.

/boot 1024 MB ext4 unencrypted (that the PW query only comes after the Grub menu, because of possible dual boot option)
SWAP 4096 MB swap encrypted
/ 250 GB btrfs encrypted
/home 7xx GB btrfs encrypted

Grub menu appears, after selecting SpiralLinux there is no password prompt for decryption, so after 3 loops you end up with an incorrect password message in the initramfs.

So it tries to start without a password prompt, which of course doesn't work.

greetings from Germany

Hi there, thanks for your report.

Is your system installed in MBR or EFI mode? Does this look like the same issue? calamares/calamares#2281

And just to confirm, you are getting no password prompt at all? Or could it be this issue with your German keyboard layout? calamares/calamares#2383

It doesn't work in either mode. On my old laptop with BIOS, and in the VM with EFI. I'll test everything in the original language this weekend.

The keyboard layout does not change the error. But if I select EXT4 as the file system and not BTRFS, it works and the prompt for the password appears after Grub.
