Hello,
I'm on KDE Beta 1.
Issue is with boot repair tool. I recreated the same issue on two MX 25 installs and also tried recreating it on an MX 23.6 install under the same condition, however, it worked perfectly on MX 23.6 which tells me the issue is specifically to MX 25.
Goes like this: I've encrypted the root partition during installation, however when I try to use the boot repair tool's 'repair grub configuration file' option, I get the error "Process finished. Errors have occurred." and "LUKS device requires a password for /dev/nvme0n1p5". I do not get a prompt to enter the encryption password.

As I've said I installed MX 23.6 with the same exact setup on the same exact machine and the tool worked fine and I got the encryption password prompt.
Should also be noted that when I use a live medium to update the grub configuration file of the installed system it also works just fine. So the issue only occurs when using the boot repair tool on the installed MX25 operating system and attempting to repair the grub configuration file of the same installed medium.
