Luks encryption, Display issues

It feels wrong to open up issues in order to talk about something.

After got a working luks setup my screen now goes of after some time. even in luks passpharse screen or after stage 2, when login screen appears - depends how fast i am.

I am not using LUKS. I am working on a build which will be based on the latest linux kernel and am interested in seeing if there are any updates in the display area. I am currently running windows. Linux was unable to drive multiple external displays on this laptop. If it boots, I will create a branch based on the changes I have made. As I write this, the kernel is building and I will write back when I get something working. It's possible, your issues may be resolved as well. Are you able to share your configuration?

Sounds promising!

I don't think, the LUKS is the problem. The screen still turn off after a few seconds - already in stage 1.

bootloader.nix

• is 1:1 yours

configuration.nix

• changed hostname, timezone
• removed services.printing
• changed username, added users.mutableUsers = false;

No luck yet. I was trying to build an iso using https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators and it doesn't seem to want to boot it when I used Rufus to create a live USB. I'll look more as I get time

I finally made some time to mess with this these past few days. I have been able to successfully build the image and have it boot from USB. The latest commit on that branch uses linux_latest which may not be suitable for this machine. It boots for me but there are some issues. No battery meter, and USB seems broken. USB may be broken because of the module which was disabled to ensure USB boot would be successful. I do not have the time to image my machine but, I will post back is removing that like seems to fix things when I get around to it. There is a commit which uses jhovold's linux 6.7 branch as well. It may work better. I got tired of the long builds. If you get the time, lmk how it's working for you.
