sda3_crypt: cryptsetup failed after regular upgrade (ubuntu 22.10)

dk flag

I'm stuck at boot time after a regular upgrade which seems to have messed up with encryption and/or boot... No key available with this passphrase.

This is not a problem of keyboard or special character:

  • I've been using this password without any problem for a long time.
  • I can unlock everything from a LiveImage with cryptsetup open /dev/sda3 sda3_crypt

My config:

  • I'm running Kubuntu 22.10
  • With a fully encrypted disk : encrypted LUKS partition containing LVM with root and swap partition (a config from the ubuntu installer from a previous version ; I didn't manually set these up)

I tried booting in recovery mode and on previous image, and I always hit the problem.

I thought this post might have been a related experience: sda3_crypt: cryptsetup failed after 20.04 to 22.04 upgrade

But nothing of these worked for me:

  • adding the legacy line in a hook as suggested by someone
  • updating initramfs
  • adding a secondary phrase

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Please let me know if I can provide important relevant details.

EDIT: From what I was able to investigate, I only upgraded 5 python packages between the two boots... Even though I have no clue how that could explain this nightmare:

2022-12-08 18:05:19 upgrade libpython3.10:amd64 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.1 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.2
2022-12-08 18:05:20 upgrade python3.10:amd64 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.1 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.2
2022-12-08 18:05:23 upgrade libpython3.10-stdlib:amd64 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.1 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.2
2022-12-08 18:05:26 upgrade python3.10-minimal:amd64 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.1 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.2
2022-12-08 18:05:28 upgrade libpython3.10-minimal:amd64 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.1 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.2
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
