I need help with luks not recognizing my password all of a sudden.
I'm using pureos on a librem and I was having trouble getting wine32 installed so one of the things I did was add the debain main and contrib repos. I then ran apt-get upgrade and it upgraded a bunch of stuff. While upgrading it asked if I wanted to use my own config or the default config for some package from a pureos repo and I said use the default. Then the terminal loaded into that grey gui window and asked a similar question. I noticed the default spot for the cursor started on to select an option was the "use your own config" option so I selected that not wanting to do something weird.
Eventually I got wine working and rebooted. As I expected I had some trouble with the computer failing an HOTP/TOTP check on start up, this happens sometimes after upgrading. I got those checks sorted out with my flashdrive key. Then the luks screen loaded but now it looks different then before. Instead on having a small window with an entry field there's no window and just a line of text that says to enter my password. When I enter my luks password it always fails. I have no idea what's happening, anyone have ideas?
edit: it might also be useful to note that I ended up using aptitude to install wine32 with the upgraded packages as apt wasn't cutting it
