Title: Calamares Artix installer: which encryption method its using, and how to change?
Post by: qmastery on 30 June 2020, 12:37:06
Please tell, is there any possibility to choose the custom LUKS cryptsetup encryption flags in a Calamares Artix Linux installer, like
Code: [Select]
--verbose --type luks1 --cipher serpent-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash whirlpool --iter-time 10000 --use-random --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdX2
mentioned in this thread? - Full Disk Encryption for a new install: force GRUB to ask a passphrase for LUKS? (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1541.0.html) Because, going through these lengthy manuals is time consuming and a bit intimidating for the new users, who would like a much stronger encryption at cost of some performance. Would be nice if there'd be some button which gives you a list of available encryption methods (i.e. I had to figure out why a usual "serpent-xts" cryptsetup option didn't work in this time - now it seems to require something like -plain64 at the end)

I've submitted a feature request to Calamares, if that's a more appropriate place - https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1452
