@harald There doesn't seem to be any content at that link...?

I did not use the #bugtracker, coz the #ArchInstall Dev & i were *briefly* chatting about it here in Masto, but sadly pretty soon they went quiet. I chose to drop the matter at that point.

That abortive piecemeal chat occurred back when i was still on the #Fosstodon #Instance, so unfortunately i've lost the original thread since moving Instances. That said, fyi, below is a purely text-based copy of the chat i kept externally. Fwiw.

New version of #archinstall out: v2.5.3

== Highlights:
* Fixes the issue "Failed to read disk /dev/xxY with lsblk"
* `archinstall` properly waits for `archlinux-keyring` services before initiating
* Creates `/etc/vconsole.conf` upon running `Installer().mkinitcpio()` if missing

Release link: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/releases/tag/v2.5.3

@Torxed Oh hi, you're its Dev; i had not expected to be able to speak with you. Thanks heaps for all your hard work... but sadly v2.5.3 remains broken like v2.5.2 wrt successfully creating a LUKS home partition. During the subsequent bootup, post-install, for some reason the LUKS password prompt never occurs before the Plasma SDDM screen lands, consequently in effect the user's home partition is not actually usefully encrypted. I can't use archinstall until this works, as i need LUKS-home. Thx.

@dropbear42 Hi! You can always reach out :) If you send me your `/var/log/archinstall/user_disk_layout.json` (remember to filter any credentials) I can take a look why that didn't happen :)

@Torxed Hello again Anton 👋 Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Would you still be willing to assist me pls, wrt my ongoing inability to get `archinstall` to correctly install a functional separate encrypted /home partition? I've tried it so many times, varying some settings each time, but always it's the same failed result; during boot, this DMESG `Failed to open encryption mapping: The device UUID=... is not a LUKS volume & the crypto= parameter was not specified`. 1/2

@Torxed 2/2 The system reaches SDDM, lets me login, then use it, but at no point was i actually asked to enter my LUKS password, ie, the encryption arrangement somehow keeps failing during the installation.

Re your earlier reply, the ONLY contents of `/var/log/archinstall/` is a single file; `install.log`. I can post that to pastebin for you, + i took HEAPS of pics during the latest install that i could upload for you. Also, i could paste the `fstab` & `crypttab` files for you... IF you wish.

@Torxed Another #archinstall #LUKS failure for me now, sigh.

I used the 1April ISO, in which i obtained the post-ISO version of AI via `pacman -Sy archinstall`. I created uefi+gpt 3 partitions; boot, root & home. I encrypted the home partition. I picked grub, zram-swap, KDE, linux-lts & linux-zen, NetworkManager. The installation completed with no errors.

Yet, exactly like all [many] previous attempts with ISOs+AIs since late last year, at boot DMESG still errors at decrypt stage.
