The 3.19.0-8.8 is now 3.19.1 based. Can folks running Vivid test this kernel to confirm the bug is fixed in Vivid? You should be able to just apply the latest updates.
For Utopic, we may want to perform a kernel bisect to identify the specific commit that caused this regression. @NoOp, do you know that last good 3.16 kernel that did not have this bug and the first 3.16 kernel version that did? If not, I can provide some links to prior 3.16 kernel for testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359689 Title: cryptsetup password prompt not shown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Utopic: Triaged Status in linux source package in Vivid: Triaged Bug description: Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted setup: Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely black) and stays like that.
