Recovery from encrypted lvm disk/partition
First a bit backstory: I had a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 and a SSD+HDD setup. Some time ago the laptop died. I had backup of most of the files, but some files in one partition on the HDD weren't backed up, and I need to access them.
The partition was made using lvm, is encrypted, and formated in ext4. I have one other laptop running Win10, and I figured if I could connect the drive to that laptop and somehow access the partition, I could simply copy out the files.
The only similar thread I have found is nearly 7 years old and recommends using FreeOTFE, which I couldn't get working on Win10 at all. I also tried explore2fs and Virtual Volumes from chrysocome.net, but the disk never showed up when connected.
Anyone have any ideas?
