What happened?

When using any Ventoy installation method in Linux, the first partition where the ISOs are stored is encrypted with LUKS. I have tried both MBR and GPT, secure boot on and off, the CLI version and GUI version and the Web version.

No passphrase works, I have tried an empty string, the root password.

I am running this on Fedora 38.

What worked for me was deleting all partitions and creating 1 fat32 partition on the flash drive, via gparted. After that I restarted the ventoy utility and installed again. Now I don't have a LUKS partition, but a regular exFat partition.

i had the same problem and the workaround fixed it for me.

i did have an encrypted GPT-partition before, then created a new MBR partition layout before using Ventoy. since the partiion doesn't get actually deleted but just removed from the table, maybe that interfered somehow? 🤔
