How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?

Do I have to boot in a USB to do it or can it be done while the crypt is open/being used? I need to resize my root partition.

@atzanteol LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as "active". I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn't do it.

my reaction was "well... maybe there's something else holding this, LUKS maybe?"

@atzanteol I didn't do anything fancy to be honest the resources pointed at me are not that different from what I did (example)

lvresize -r -L -80G /dev/mapper/laptop--lvm-home

But I think I got my cue from Arch Linux guide and will boot into a USB and do my resize commands.

Basically end result is just resize home to give root more space. All partitions in LUKS.

I think I got it from here knock on wood all that's left is just backup home, cross fingers and hope resizing goes through.

@atzanteol All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.

The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.

Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?

I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?

The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.
