Kali Linux USB Persistence + LUKS Encryption Help

Hello Guys!

Hope You're all doing fine, so these couple days I've been working on Getting Kali Live USB Persistence to work.

I got my USB ready to boot, made the partitions: Fat32, ext3, ext4.

Everything is setup I can normally boot into kali, I used before a 16gb 2.0 drive but then I changed my plan and gone for 32GB 3.0 drive since it's faster and it really is.

I did the partitions successfully I can see the persistence icon on the desktop.

I decided to go for looks encryption which troubled me alot, I have /sdc which are sdc1,sdc2 and sdc3

I have ext3 with 4gb and ext4 with 4gb as well!

the commands I followed are:

1-

end=7gb

read start _ < <(du -bcm kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso | tail -1); echo $start

parted /dev/sdc my part primary $start $end

2-

cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdc2

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc2 UUI

3-

mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/mapper/UUI

e2label /dev/mapper/UUI persistence

4-

mkdir -p /mnt/UUI

mount /dev/mapper/UUI /mnt/UUI

echo "/ union" > /mnt/UUI/persistence.conf

umount /dev/mapper/UUI

5-

cryptsetup luksClose /dev/mapper/UUI

Well, I did all of this then I went to GParted to check everything, I right clicked on ext3 then information there was an info which says: Linux Unified Key Setup is not supported yet, I'm not sure if that is considered a problem ( i doubt it)

then I updated the /etc/fstab file with my UUI info

then Reboot

mmm here where I almost freaked out and I'm still worried

I got an error code ( blue screen)

0x00000d

I'm using windows 10

but I managed to get back to my system, happily.

I'm not sure what I messed up, no clue

I tried to boot again into persistence with encryption I got the initramfs screen

I got some help to get it rolling, entered this command:

crypt setup luksOpen /dev/your-encrypted-partition whatever

it asked me for a passphrase which I set up before

I entered it, then a flashing slash appears after that I can't enter anything, it's annoying or I'm stupid.

I'd be really thankful if someone can point out a resolution for this issue thanks for reading until this point and sorry for keeping you busy.

Thanks!

Cheers.
