grub on Guix now asks password only once for LUKS encrypted disk! It took quite some time, but I'm happy we are finally here! :D

Kudos to Danny Milosavljevic for fixing it!

@dthompson It is, man, it is! :)

It will save thousands of hours of human lives and cut off a lot of frustration.

@abcdw this is awesome! I have to write the password first using US qwerty on a Nordic qwerty keyboard, and then the second time using Programmer Dvorak. Has been a very annoying boot process!

@abcdw

I noticed it this weekend when reconfiguring my system and had to do a double take and check the git history so I didn't just miss that I had typed it again. This is huge for me. The mental barrier to turning off my systems rather than suspending has been lessened.

@abcdw amazing! Can't wait to drop my personal workaround! Thank you Danny for your work!
