I've just installed against upstream 3.18.0-031800rc6 (linux- image-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb, linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc6_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_all.deb, linux- headers-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb) and get the same behaviour. Focus does not go to the encryption key input box so it is impossible to decrypt my disk and boot. This new kernel does show one slightly different behaviour: when I type my key, it is displayed in clear text at the top left of the screen displaying the prompt box. As before, typing and pressing enter has no effect even though you can see the password appearing (in the wrong place).

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. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC3: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=66fe5f6c-9937-43f3-90ed-9764c8a9a263 IwConfig: eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
