My laptop isn’t under my supervision most of the time. And I’d hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I’m not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It’s a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn’t viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a “safe” state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that’s decrypt-on-demand?
I’m on Arch with KDE.
The template is supposed to be something that you put in your own systemd services.
plasma-kwin_x11.serviceandplasma-kwin_wayland.serviceboth already have it.If I have to guess, it is probably a bug that will get fixed sometime in the future, meaning this is not a viable solution until then. Sorry for that.
Just as a last bit of troubleshooting, check if
cat ~/.config/startkdercshowssystemBoot = true. If it does not, runkwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot true. I doubt this will change much, but still worth trying.If I get some free time, I will do some testing and let you know here
cat ~/.config/startkdercreturnssystemdBoot=true. I’m guessing you made a typo and this is correct. In this case I guess it just doesn’t work on KDE, my next idea is LUKS on /home and hibernating instead of sleeping. Or I always wanted to try a tiling window manager… hmsystemdBoot is supposed to be true, not a typo. But yeah, I don’t use plasma much so I don’t really know how to solve the issue… Sorry for that!
No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don’t have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it’s a security mesure, that I didn’t solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don’t want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it’s so comfortable that everything is at one place.
