Title: Can not enter password to decrypt disk at boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. My whole disk is encrypted with luks and since the upgrade I have found I can no longer unlock my disk at boot. The enter password screen appears, but typing does not cause any characters to appear in the password box. However, if I hit ctrl-alt f7 (not sure of the precise function key) I get a black screen with a flashing white cursor and I can see the password that I entered. This would seem to imply that this is not a problem with the usb drivers, as has been reported in other similar bugs. It's as if the focus is simply in the wrong place at the time when I need to enter my password. Entering the password anyway and pressing enter has no effect. By using Grub to select the previous kernel, I can then decrypt my disk and use the system as normal. The working kernel version is 3.13.0-39-generic. The problematic kernel is 3.16.0-24-generic.
