My system keeps booting into the live image of Pop!_OS 22.04 rather than my encrypted partition. I ran boot-repair-disk but the system keeps going to the install image. I verified that the bios is pointing to the correct disk at boot and I verified that my data is still in the encrypted partition.

Any help would be appreciated.

ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS Nvidia

EDIT: I found the fix. I was able to dig out a System76 article that fixed me right up. See below.

    I never multiboot (had enough of that pain years ago). I’ll look into the bootloader but I assumed that Boot Repair would have corrected that. It might be that it didn’t see the bit pointing towards the rescue partition as a problem.

      You still have a bootloader, even if you only have one OS. And if you do have a recovery image as you say, you are multi-booting.

      I recall the ability to boot from an encrypted partition requiring some additional config for grub, but I see no reason for boot repair not to account for that.

      If you use some other bootloader, I’ve no experience.
