Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

systemd-stub prints “Failed to read *.cred, Volume corrupt” on boot (Limine + UKI)revision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:49 UTC via poll

System details

Omarchy 3.3.3 (stable, master), Linux 6.18.3-arch1-1, Limine 10.6.2 with systemd-stub (UKI), systemd init, btrfs (encrypted) root, vfat ESP mounted at /boot, Dell Inspiron 5502 (11th-gen Intel i5), dual-boot with Windows, Secure Boot disabled.

What's wrong?

On every boot, an error is printed very early:

systemd/src/boot/cpio.c:413@pack_cpio:
Failed to read nupcr-anchor.<machine-id>/<hash>.cred, ignoring: Volume corrupt

The system continues to boot normally afterward, but the error is always shown.

  • The error appears during early boot (systemd-stub stage)
  • Boot continues successfully after the message
  • Rebuilding initramfs does not remove the error
  • Rebooting does not remove the error
  • Limine previously appeared as a UEFI bootloader entry, but after an update(cant remember which), the Limine entry is missing; only auto-created SSD entries remain
  • /boot/EFI/limine/limine_x64.efi still exists on the ESP
