Dear Maintainer,

I installed my new Lenovo Thinkpad E15 with Debian Bullseye.

I've setup my PXE + TFTP server with latest netboot.tar.gz.

I've installed Debian with the following options:
- France language, french keyboard
- assisted partman full disk with encryption
- bullseye distribution
- unchecked "debian desktop"
- checked plasma, xfce and lxqt desktops

Booting my new Debian system, initramfs can not load the (crypt) volume group.
Same problem as in #935973.

I solved this issue:
- booting on PXE
- choosing rescue
- chroot into system
- apt install cryptsetup-initramfs
  (this last operation recreates the initrd file)

My new system lacks the french localization for sddm and kde (even if I've choosen
France and Plasma in Debian installer).

I installed manually:
- task-french-desktop
- task-french-kde-desktop

When connecting to my bluetooth speaker, the pairing did work but the connection failed.
Pulseaudio was lacking the module for bluetooth.

apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.

I think all those packages should be sensible defaults.

THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS FOR THIS NEW DEBIAN RELEASE :))))))))))))))

Best regards

PS: I use only Debian on all my computers since 2005.

Hi,

I just did a test installation with exactly your parameters, and here
cryptsetup-initramfs got installed automatically.

I can confirm this, those are not installed here too.

To debug these problems, could you sent us the installation logs, please?
(Sorry for the late reply; if you still have that installation running and
did not removed those log files by hand, they should still be available in
/var/log/installer/ )
Please sent them compressed to this bugreport.


Thanks

Holger
