Encrypted Hard Drive Passphrase Must Be Entered Twice At Boot?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,

Clean fresh install of openSUSE Tumbleweed 64Bit(K.D.E. Plasma).
During installation setup I encrypted my hard drive.

When I boot up the computer, the encrypted passphrase must be entered twice?
First time is a console(GRUB) and second time is a GUI(says “Tumbleweed” on bottom)?

Happens on two different computers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Jesse

Possible solutions:

(1) Just enter it twice;

(2) Try THIS PAGE and look for the heading “Avoiding to type the passphrase twice”.

Please note, however, that if you use XEN virtualization with UEFI then this is a bad idea, because in that case the initrd is in the unencrypted EFI partition and contains the encryption key.

Personally: I usually go with a separate unencrypted “/boot”, but I do not use “btrfs” (where a separate “/boot” is a bad idea). I do use the suggested solution in one virtual machine, just for purposes of testing it.
