Hi there, |

I just encountered a weird problem when trying to access my kde-plasma vault. |
| 4 |
Although I entered the correct password, it refused to open. Journalctl shows |
| 5 |
|

Nov 01 18:41:50 zeus kded5[1348]: OUT: "CryFS Version 0.10.3\n\nPassword: |
| 7 |
\nDeriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done\n" |

termination\n" |
| 11 |

Using cryfs on the command line shows the same thing: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
alex@zeus ~ $ cryfs .local/share/plasma-vault/Privat.enc Vaults/Privat/ |
| 15 |
CryFS Version 0.10.3 |

| 20 |
missing nullbyte for string termination |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Googling this error shows exactly 3 (!) matches, the most useful is assuming a |
| 23 |
corruption on the file system; so I compared with backup, even more than |
| 24 |
several months ago. No changes, the files are identical and the backup is OK. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Next, I copied the encrypted files from .local/share/plasma-vault to an ubuntu |
| 27 |
installation (kubuntu-2020-04LTS which uses cryfs 0.10.2 instead of 0.10.3 |
| 28 |
that gentoo uses) , and there the container opened fine. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
It looks like as if gentoo's cryfs 0.10.3-r1 cannot open the container, |
| 31 |
ubuntu's 0.10.2 can. What's wrong with the gentoo version? Any ideas? |
| 32 |

Thanks in advance |
