[stable branch] cryptsetup recently broke
Some of the recent patches broke `cryptsetup luksOpen ...`.

It worked fine last Saturday. Today I tried to access my usb stick for movies night using `cryptsetup open /dev/sda1 usb`, as is tradition, and - nope - some issue with ioctl complaining about an invalid argument or something.
I tried to debug it but but didn't get very far. Maybe some ciphers were removed from the new kernel?
It doesn't work on the current beta branch either.

I also ran into this issue, this is what I gathered from `journalctl`

I've created a encrypted external drive which works fine on my Fedora laptop, the steam deck does recognize it as encrypted in desktop mode and asks for a passphrase. However it fails to unlock and mount it.

Heylow,
for whoever lands here after a google search, the answer is there:

Basically, the 'tpm' module is blacklisted in Grub's comand line and must be removed in `/etc/defaults/grub`

My question is: Why would Valve blacklist this in grub on SteamOS 3?

I'm afraid they might have a valid security reason or the deck's tpm isn't reliable in some way, and that a user reenabling it on their own might trip on whatever issue they were trying to avoid...

I would look into that before using this fix, just in case...

doesn't matter if you unblacklist it, it still does not word, a least not for me.
