Fortunately during the reboot my OS asked me to create a new user account (since it didn't find one that worked), and I was able to move all my data over to the new account, completely delete the old account (including its group), and rebuild it. I double-checked my /etc/passwd file and the account was still there (with zeroes for the UID & GID), but somehow the OS read that as the account being unusable.Īfter stressing a bit about losing all the data on my machine I finally rebooted and hoped for a miracle.
#Ubuntu 16.04 bitlocker reader gui install#
I couldn't open any new programs, or any new tabs in my browser, and couldn't install any new removable media. (I know, I should have created a separate account just for this test, but I didn't think of that.) When I tried to invoke any command afterward in the terminal (with or without sudo) it gave me a message that I did not exist. I followed the directions from several websites to give my user account root privileges (editing my /ect/passwd file to change my UID & GID to 0), and the result was that I basically nuked my user account.
So I tried this a couple nights ago, and failed miserably. Obviously I end up stopping this process because that disk is huge and besides I do not want to copy it.Ĭan anyone please assist if possible and tell me what it is I might be doing wrong or is dislocker not working properly on RHEL 8? However it is not doing what I thought it was supposed to be doing, meaning it never opens the external drive instead it's creating a copy of the entire external drive in the /media/bitlocker directory. If I skip the step of creating the bitlocker and mount directories/folders then the command executes successfully. Sat Aug 28 13:13:11 2021 '/media/bitlocker' already exists, can't override.
"sudo dislocker -r -V /dev/sdb1 -u - /media/bitlocker If I create a new directory /media/bitlocker is gets created successfully and the /media/mount that also gets created. I am using RHEL 8, I followed the steps as stipulated.
