Hello everybody, it’s my first post on any linux forum, in fact I’m a new user since 2/3 weeks.
I’ve tried many distro ! Ohlala ! Maybe 20, something like this.
I like so much PureOs from GNU/Linux distro
I had no problem to install it the first time at all, second also but...
When booting just after bios message, at the moment to enter my passphrase to decrypt my ssd I got a black sceen withe this text
« Attempting to decrypt master key...
Enter passphrase for hd0,msdos2 (########my#hash######): »

BUT

I can’t enter anything, keyboard doesn’t work, I only can ESC to enter in grub rescue> . The orher issue is than keyboard is now in qwerty and i doesn’t have access to « ( ) « this caracters.

The first time I installed PureOs I had not this problem, screen gave me a little grey box to my decrypt pass.

After press ESC :

« error: Passphrase not supplied.
error: no such cryptodisk found.
error: ‘cryptouuid/#######my#hash####’ not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0.msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (proc) »

please help me :c

PureOS Wiki has this. And from there it links to this solution:

Quote:

System CANNOT boot at all, only black screen after disk unlock is shown.

Solution

Restart your computer, wait until BIOS/Coreboot messages disappear and press ESC right away to enter the boot loader menu.
Use ↑ and ↓ keys to navigate, select Advanced Options menu item and press ENTER.
Select one of the older kernel options from the list (lower on the list) and press ENTER to boot it.
If you manage to boot into graphical interface, open your terminal and run:
Code:
```
sudo update-initramfs -u
```
Restart to see if it will boot normally.

I guess if you cannot boot from the grub menu, you can try booting from the installation media.
