Can't mount LUKS volume after recent update

Booted up today to kernel error message involving the crypto parameter not being set and there not being a valid LUKS volume. Right I think, massive amounts of cock are about to ensue in a typical Linux update with half the system breaking, but nothing we haven't seen before.
So I boot from a recovery CD, get into the encrypted volumes and update to see if anything b0rked was hotfixed by the devs. Hmm, nothing. It would appear that the cryptsetup params have changed once again, as they are wont to do every few years. We now have a new parameter that must be specified, crypto=:::: by default. Default doesn't work for me since I must have been in a highly delusional paranoid state when I created my partitions I think I used AES when I created it, with TripleDES/Blowfish/Serpent or something along those lines.
I can't seem to find any documentation about the parameter either, the cryptsetup website looks like monkeys with hammers got to it before the devs could fend them off and now the devs are lying on the floor in puddles of monkey semen while their SVN is being pillaged
Does anyone have a quick hint of what needs to be specified to get back into my encrypted root? I don't feel like dredging through half the Internets again, last time it took me a half a day to find out I needed to add the cryptdevice parameter

It would seem the cryptsetup in the initrd image is borked. When it fails to unlock the root partition, it dumps me into the recovery terminal. When I try and run cryptsetup manually from there, it segfaults with the message that it is missing libpopt.so.
I tried with the crypto=ripemd160:"aes-cbc-essiv:sha256":128:1032: parameter (which has to be specified after the cryptdevice= but before the root= parameters - thanks for documenting that ). These parameters are correct for my partition and should unlock it, but fails because cryptsetup is linked against libpopt.so. WTF is that? You'd want a statically linked cryptsetup for your initrd. Who was smoking crack when they wrote the mkinitcpio script? I'm not even sure I need the crypto flag if cryptsetup runs properly.

  • Can't mount movie DVDs after Security Update 2006-002

    I installed Security Update 2006-002 today after all the preparation recommended by MacFixit. Everything came up fine, EXCEPT:
    Movie DVDs (e.g., as rented from Blockbuster) no longer mount.
    Yesterday, there was no problem.
    Dual G5 2.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The following link describes MacFixit's recommendation for installation of 10.4.6, but it is basically the same recommendation as they have given for quite a while for any significant system update, including security updates:
    http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2006-04-03
    Scroll down until you see "Update process recommendation".
    In my case, I had followed the "more cautious route" of this procedure but still had a problem, and then the problem went away when I did a (presumably extra) pre-binding.
    For system-wide updates (that is, 10.4.x -> 10.4.(x+1)) I've always used combo updaters rather than the supposedly specific-and-therefore-smaller updaters when updating the system. For the security update in question here, I downloaded the updater from the Apple site rather than use Software Update.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't Open Mac Mail after Recent Update

    Last night I performed a software update and today I cannot open my mail application.  When I do, I get the following error message:
    You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
    You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in:
    /Applications/iWork '09/Mail.app
    It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
    When I try to open Mail from the applications folder as it instructs, I still get the same error message.  I did notice that when I view the program in the preview window that it says Mail version 4.6 even though the error message says 4.5.  I would suspect that has something to do with the problem, but that's as good at troubleshooting as I get.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?  Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

    My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

    "UPAD lite?"
    I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • HT3775 Quicktime no longer plays wmv files after recent update

    after recent update, quicktime will not open wmv files. had no problem opening them up in the past. reinstalled flip4mac codec and nothing. don't want to use quicklime player 7 b/c need to use fast forward option that will not work with QT7. Any help is appreciated.
    thank you,
    Damian

    I ended up on the phone with an Apple iPhoto expert after scheduling an appointment online (go to Apple support). He spent an hour or so diagnosing my particular problem and was able to fix it. I can once again view all my mov files in iPhoto. Since every computer is different, you might want to try that route. He was able to view my computer screen and direct me to do different things.

  • My imessage is not Working after recent update

    My daughters iMessage & FaceTime no longer work after recent update, can anybody help please?

    It's mostly a server issue because millions of users are trying to do the same. Apple's servers get bogged down. Try waiting a bit - a day - before trying again. You can also check out this for other things to try.

  • After recent update to airport on iMac, the wifi connection is lost when it goes to sleep and requires turning off wifi and turning it on to reestablish contact.

    After recent update to OS on iMac, communication to airport is lost when computer goes to sleep.  To reestablish connection, I need to turn wifi off then on. 

    same problem here.
    i have a time capsule.
    symptoms:
    excessively searching for network
    but more often than not, it cant find the correct netowrk that is correctly stored in keychain
    if i try network assistant opened through safari not finding its page, then it can find the right network after i enter in the password again.  it connects. but only for a few seconds then it loses the connection again.
    the only fool proof workaround for me is:
    1/ shut down time capsule. restart time capsule.
    2/ restart mac with airport turned off.
    3/ after restart manually select the network from the wireless icon in the menu bar
    airport utility is a complete waste of time
    old airport utility is still better.

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • After recent updates from Apple, Mail will not open.

    After recent updates from Apple the mail icon on the bar will not open.  Only way to access mailis through Google, rather than the dock.

    These fixes have helped others, depending on the situation.
    Have an up-to-date Time Machine or other backup before attempting any major software updates or rebuilds.

    A general repair to fix odd behaviors in Mail is  Mailbox > Rebuild.
    Try booting in Safe Mode.
              Boot and when you hear the bong hold down the Shift key.
              It will boot slowly.  Be patient.
              Login the the user account.
              Restart.
    Another fix:
    Shut down Mail.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Copy and paste the following
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
    Click Go.
    Move all "Envelope" files to your desktop.
    Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes.
    If this worked, Trash the Envelope files file that are on your desktop,
    if not shut down Mail and put them back.
    Another fix:
    Shut down Mail.

  • Premiere Pro Windows crashing after recent updates

    Machine specs:  HP Z820 - zeon e5-2690 48gb ram quadro k5000.  Since the recent updates & complete wipe of the system & fresh install, Premiere pro CC crashes regularly without any pattern.  Using MXF files while editing if that helps-i did read a thread about that - but it was old.  This is a new problem.  The event viewer information:

    What account were you using to sync your Calendar?  Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account. 
    Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
    Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
    Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
    Open up your Calendar app.  Are your entries back?
