i wasn't. that was the problem 😂 but maybe you should.. 👻 anyway, that's because of the encryption, and i'll probably have to remake the partition table or something like that.. no idea, but sure it has a solution. if you don't mess with encrypted disks, i don't think you'll have any trouble
Learning how to use ansible to configure my laptop has reduced my stress levels a lot: now if I don't remember something I can just check the ansible playbook, and mostly importantly whatever happens I know that in a few hours I can go from nothing to a fully configured laptop with everything that I need on it with almost no manual intervention:
* install debian from netinstall with almost no tasksel (ok, this requires some accepting of default values and a couple of personal choices) * put a public key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys * run ansible to install everything I need and do all systemwide configuration * login as my user and run mr checkout to clone all repositories with my projects, data (git-annex) and dotfiles (vcsh) to configure whatever is left to be configured per-user
Up to now I've only done it to configure a new machine / change hard disk, and that was completely stress-free; I guess that in cases that are not planned there would be a bit more stress, but much less than the alternatives.
Of course, this approach only works with a linux machine and in my setup requires being used to use ssh with a key (this is usually a big source of stress when my SO needs to access my data/project repositories :( )

For me the problem is that I always forget how I configured my OS the last time, that's why I have a blog.

For the moment, as I only use Emacs, the configuration has been quite pain free.

```
sudo apt remove linux-image-4.19.0
sudo apt remove linux-image-4.9.0.9
```
so now it boots on 4.9.0-4 and asks for my password to "unlock disk sda3_crypt" without any trouble 😇

I'm glad you solved it! (and shared!)

And adding an "unstable" line to sources.list basically means running unstable, if you ever did an "apt upgrade" 😕
