Hi All,
This is going to seem like a Windows question, but it will turn into a Fedora question. I promise.
I had a customer yesterday with a brand new Lenovo P53s laptop. His old laptop died on a grand scale. I was able to remove his old hard drive and mount in on a USB3 carrier to plug into his new laptop.
The drive was pretty badly corrupted and Windows 10 kept trying to index it over and over and over. So I booted into Fedora 31 from a flash drive.
Now his local drive (not the bad one from the old laptop) would not mount (500GB NVMe). The error was:
no file system or encrypted interface on d-bus object
Huh?
I was able to retrieve most of his data by copying to another USB3 flash drive, then booting back into Windows.
Anyway, what the heck error message was that? And how do I work around it? I need to be able to mount drive that are installed in laptops with Fedora to recover data.
Many thanks, -T

Can you include the command you were running and the full output?

I was running Fedora 31 and Xfce 4.12.
The desktop showed a "500 GB Encrypted" icon.
Chicking on the icon pops up the error message I wrote down

Ok. Is it possible that it's Windows bitlocker encrypted? Try mounting it from the command line and see what happens.

The customer had just unpacked it when I got there.
I am no longer at his location

Are you sure it wasn’t:
“No Object for D-Bus Interface”
That’s a common error when Nautilus loses contact with gvfs or some other issue comes up with gvfs.
