Arch Linux User Repository

Hello all, it's been some weeks that I cant mount win-bitlocker partition. I'm using dislocker 0.7.3-5 on Archlinux - Kernel 6.12.8.

That's what I get from terminal sudo dislocker -V /dev/nvme0n1p3 --recovery Tue Jan 7 16:00:19 2025 [CRITICAL] Unable to compute regions. Abort.

I've updated my Windows 11 with the latest package, is something change also in BL?

Thanks to everybody. Bumped with new pkgrel due to the evolved dependencies.

I believe the pkgrel needs to be bumped.

The dependencies have evolved, and this package needs to be rebuilt - older builds do not work anymore. Best way to signify that is to increase pkgrel so that all automated build systems rebuild it.

I did an rebuild on the latest PKGBUILD file (makepkg PKGBUILD after cloning the repo), and it "just worked" for me after an install.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dislocker.git
cd dislocker
makebuild
sudo pacman -U ./dislocker-0.7.3-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

If you're using a AUR manager, this may help you rebuild it: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/howto-python-upgrade-reinstall-aur-and-pip-packages/141579

There was a major update for ruby, I'm not sure but the packages has been moved and dislocker couldn't find the shared object dislocker: error while loading shared libraries: libruby.so.3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

P.S. dislocker-noruby works fine.

Recently I'm getting:

jan 27 17:33:34 XXX mount[513]: dislocker: error while loading shared libraries: libmbedcrypto.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file>

Might be a dependency issue with mbedtls, but I'm not sure.

Edit: a reinstall of this package fixed the error.

Thanks, syntaxerrormmm. Version check added.

This breaks on Manjaro (which has mbedtls 2.28). Patch to the PKGBUILD to compile over Manjaro Stable:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index fdd434f..0c38346 100644

+  fi

   make
 }

After applying the fixes proposed in https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker/issues/278 it works again.

The following two sed replacements allow it to build with mbedtls2:

sed -i '16s@include@\0 PATHS /usr/include/mbedtls2@g' cmake/FindPolarSSL.cmake
sed -i '33,36s@mbed[a-z]*@\0 PATHS /usr/lib/mbedtls2@g' cmake/FindPolarSSL.cmake

It's a bit of a dirty hack, but I can't really find any cleaner way to get it to build. I haven't tested if it actually runs okay.
