I couldn’t use my pc use for several days, something more than one week. At first boot there were many updates ready, kernel 6.12 included, so I installed them immediately and, after a while, I rebooted the pc.
After that, Dolphin was no more able to decrypt my disk. When I click on it, it shows the window requesting the decrypt key and then the window asking for the root password, the process ends in a: ¨An error occurred while accessing ‘Basic data partition’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error unlocking /dev/nvme1n1p3: Failed to activate device: Operation not supported" message.
Any suggestion to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance to anyone that will answer.
Recent windows updates forced enableing of bitlocker without allowing user choice.
The fedora system cannot access the windows system and in some cases cannot even boot with bitlocker enabled since it appears it may also encrypt the efi partition.
The permanent solution seems to be to boot windows and disable bitlocker to remove that interference with fedora.
Please try unlocking the device manually with cryptsetup using cryptsetup bitlkOpen /dev/nvme1n1p3 <name> if that fails as well re-run the command with --debug added and open an issue against cryptsetup with the debug output and details about your Windows setup. Thank you.
