@crowgirl@hachyderm.io Oh! This is actually straightforward to fix, especially if getting access to the data read-only is the primary goal -- don't panic, don't try to reinstall. Boot into a shell with a livecd and see what lsblk tells you -- does it recognize the disk as `crypt`? Are you able to read the LUKS header?

@crowgirl@hachyderm.io if you had access to the disk, /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab would be useful, but that would require you to be able to read the disk which is the point. However, if you can read anything, dump those files. One question would be whether you have an encrypted home dir but not root filesystem, I think some versions of Ubuntu used to do that.
