[EN] annoyed by cryptsetup whenever updating the towo kernel
« on: 2019/04/02, 14:07:05 »
Not having an encryptet root "/" partition, I get this every time:
Code: [Select]
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.133) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.0.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64
cryptsetup: WARNING: The initramfs image may not contain cryptsetup binaries
    nor crypto modules. If that's on purpose, you may want to uninstall the
    'cryptsetup-initramfs' package in order to disable the cryptsetup initramfs
    integration and avoid this warning.
Configuring /dev/tty1 /dev/tty2 /dev/tty3 /dev/tty4 /dev/tty5 /dev/tty6
The charmap is UTF-8
BackSpace is ^?

Thus I purged  cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup, which is just an empty meta package for pulling. I instead re-install the packages cryptsetup-bin and cryptsetup-run:
Code: [Select]
Removing cryptsetup (2:2.1.0-2) ...
Removing cryptsetup-initramfs (2:2.1.0-2) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
(Reading database ... 139710 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../cryptsetup-run_2%3a2.1.0-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking cryptsetup-run (2:2.1.0-2) over (2:2.1.0-2) ...
Preparing to unpack .../cryptsetup-bin_2%3a2.1.0-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking cryptsetup-bin (2:2.1.0-2) over (2:2.1.0-2) ...
Setting up cryptsetup-bin (2:2.1.0-2) ...
Setting up cryptsetup-run (2:2.1.0-2) ...

which gives this better experience when updating the kernel:
Code: [Select]
Preparing to unpack .../linux-image-5.0.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64_5.0-8_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking linux-image-5.0.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (5.0-8) over (5.0-8) ...
Setting up linux-image-5.0.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (5.0-8) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.0.5-towo.1-siduction-amd64
... any cryptsetup and charmap messages are gone.
You still can have an encrypted home partition but
ignore this message when having an encrypted root

experiencing siduction runs better than my gentoo makes me know I know nothing
