Well of course it is not the default unlocking mechanism. In my setup cryptroot-unlock is used to unlock remotely over dropbear. Most probably the regex can adapted. But I have no experience with that.
When I encountered the issue I tested the script with standard busybox and it worked. Then I compared the config of the two packages and found the two parameters to be essential. It was the easiest way for me. Of course I did not check for other side effects of the change. A second command is not working with the initramfs busybox. It's "grep -Ez". The z option is not present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to busybox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651818 Title: busybox-initramfs needs different compile options to work with cryptroot-unlock Status in busybox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The cryptroot-unlock script in the cryptsetup package does not work in initramfs. It fails because "ps -e" is not available in busybox for initramfs. When building the package with CONFIG_DESKTOP=y CONFIG_EXTRA_COMPAT=y the needed commands (ps, grep) with parameter are there and it works. Tetsted on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10.
