Created attachment 2983 /sbin/lspci output Upon inserting an external hard drive with LUKS partitions on it, I am prompted for a password for each, but randomly the icon for the LUKS partition on the desktop does not appear. Noted that /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_{uuid} appears for each unlocked LUKS partition, but cannot figure out where the break between unlock and icon populating on the desktop fails. Happens on both my laptops (this one is core2duo, the other atom). Running Slackware 13.1-rc1. Previously in Slackware 13.0 I got the famous "asked twice for password" bug, but they never seemed to fail to populate on the desktop or to unlock, so I'm baffled. Versions: Thunar Volume Manager 0.3.80, Xfce 4.6.1, Xfce Notifyd 0.1.0, Xfce Power Manager 0.8.5, GLIBC 2.11.1, GCC 4.4.4, GTK 1.2.10/2.18.9.

Confirmed in Slackware 13.1 (just released as stable) on (again) the same two machines (same external drive, worked fine in Slackware 13.0).
Tried opening the device manually this time, resulting in: bash-4.1# luksOpen /dev/sdb2 BACKUP Enter passphrase for /dev/sdb2: device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy Key slot 0 unlocked. bash-4.1# ls /media README cdrecorder1 cdrom1 dvd1 floppy1 hd1 memory1 zip1 cdrecorder cdrom dvd floppy hd memory zip cdrecorder0 cdrom0 dvd0 floppy0 hd0 memory0 zip0 Therefore the problem may not be Xfce. I'd say mark this as UNCONFIRMED.
Nevermind. It appears cryptsetup in Slackware 13.1 is the culprit. I am marking this RESOLVED/INVALID. However, please note that in Slackware 13.0 the Bug of Xfce asking more than one for the password for a LUKS partition is still in effect (the user learns to enter password at the first prompt and to press ESC on the second prompt).
