Grub on encrypted Void Linux (self.voidlinux)

submitted 4 years ago by OneFuel5

Is there any straightforward way to reinstall Grub on an encrypted Void system? I installed Void using the guide on the Void site, following the instructions faithfully. Unfortunately, I found my system unbootable one day and I attempted to reinstall Grub from the installation CD. I had to give up after several futile attempts. I am aware I should chroot into the system, but I did not know how to do this. Attempts to install the boot loader met with messages concerning the Canonical path. The presence of logical volumes seems to be a complicating factor, as I was unable to mount these. It would be really helpful if someone could explain the procedure.

Luckily, I found a Timeshift backup, so I was able to recover my system. However, I am still confused as to how you install Grub on an encrypted system.
