How to mount USB ext4 encrypted disk

Hello Garuda users,
I just installed Garuda Soaring Qtile and I have a problem:
I can't mount my external USB drive, which is encrypted with LUKS and formatted in ext4.
It seems that Garuda does not even feel its presence. I love Garuda and I hope I can fix this. Thanks for any help

Greetings! Thanks for the help. The disk is external and not system: it contains only my backups.
Now I am also disturbed by the constant display of the error:
the desktop manager is not active...

the desktop manager is not active…

where? When? Why?

Greetings! As soon as I log in to Qtile, a small window with an exclamation point in a red field and the text "the desktop manager is not active" begins to be displayed every some seconds!!!
