[Bug 1651818] Re: busybox-initramfs needs different compile options to work with cryptroot-unlock

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

As far as I understand this is about the debian/initramfs/cryptroot-
unlock script, that is not used by default. (default unlocking is done
via lightdm).

Whilst indeed ps -eo pids,args is used, it doesn't have to be... if the
sed regexp is modified, I think it can just use the "ps" output, no?

  cryptroot-unlock

Status in busybox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The cryptroot-unlock script in the cryptsetup package does not work in initramfs.
  It fails because "ps -e" is not available in busybox for initramfs.
  When building the package with

  CONFIG_DESKTOP=y
  CONFIG_EXTRA_COMPAT=y

  the needed commands (ps, grep) with parameter are there and it works.
  Tetsted on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10.
