--- Begin Message ---Package: calamares Severity: normal Tags: d-i Hello! I installed Debian 10.6.0 using debian-live-10.6.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso. While installing I created new partition table of type GPT. While creating partitions I chose "encrypt" for /home and supplied the passphrase. Then after installation when the system rebooted, Debian failed to start. It shows error "Failed to start Cryptography setup for luks-*". screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/RMfvz6P.jpg journalctl -xb shows error "systemd-cryptseup: Failed to open key file" followed by "systemd-cryptseup: Failed to activate with key file '/crypto_keyfile.bin': Invalid argument" screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/C8hr5fe.jpeg $ cat /etc/crypttab # <name> <device> <password> <options> luks-f5a29dc6-60bd-4af3-9eec-79bd4442f4a8 UUID=f5a29dc6-60bd-4af3-9eec-79bd4442f4a8 /crypto_keyfile.bin luks,keyscript=/bin/cat $ Setting <password> field to "none" and removing "keyscript=/bin/cat" from <options> field fixes the issue. I could reproduce this with 10.6.0-live as well as 10.5.0-live. Thanks!

--- Begin Message --- Thanks for your bug report. This works on calamares since Debian 11. When choosing to encrypt /home, you will now see a prompt like the attached screenshot and the system will continue booting normally after the correct passphrase has been specified.
