Tested version 3.19.0-29.31~lp1500751Commit50031c9d and it also/still has the bug.
This time it was slightly different compared to how I recall it from the original case. I still cannot enter text in the cryptsetup area, but rather than emitting the password at the upper left corner of the same virtual console, the text appears in another virtual console - the same where the systemd version is printed. -- 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/1500751 Title: Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30 Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I am running Xubuntu 15.04 and just upgraded to the latest kernel (3.19.0-30). After upgrading the boot time is longer (what is negligible) but the more sever error is, that I cannot enter my passphrase when I see the crypt dialog. I just see the dialog to enter my passphrase, but when I try to enter it, nothing appears in the textfield. I tried with the builtin laptop keyboard but also with an external USB keyboard. I thought about supplying more information, but things like the syslog are not helping apparently (I was not able to boot until the syslog would capture information...). If you need anything I can provide, I gladly help. [Test case] 1. On an affected system boot into kernel 3.19.0-30 [Solution] The "solution" for now is booting the older Kernel 3.19.0-28 (which isn't a real solution).
