When I installed 14.04 TLS I had enabled sda5_crypt. Last year I did the upgrade from 14.04 TLS to 16.04 TLS.
And today, I don't think anything bad, I install the latest kernel version .59 or similar, by use of synaptic (well it's comfortable to me, too). When I do reboot the system it hangs at "Please unlock disk sda5_crypt:". I type in the password. And then I press the [enter] key on the keyboard. But nothing happins. I do a reboot and I try it again, and again, and again, and again. How boring, how stupid. At luncgh time I think something is wrong. I find this thread and so *uck the *ell. I'm wondering, a thread starting in 10/2013 and today is 01/2017. My job is tester software, and sometime it's not easy and actually I have a lot of headache, 'cause my productive system isn't usable anymore. I won't recommend in the future to install sda5_crypt on any system and I will recommend to delete it on any system, too. I take a look on the entries for this issue begin at #68. But for me 'nosplash' is always enabled in the GRUB entries. I don't think the issue is in relation with the splash. I use the >e< option at booting and use the emacs editor to inspect/review the GRUB entries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238194 Title: keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy Status in initramfs-tools: New Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: [Justification] With the kernel in 13.10, some systems use a different USB host driver than previously. Failing to include this driver in the initramfs causes regressions for users who need to interact with the system in early boot using a USB keyboard, such as users with an encrypted root filesystem. Such systems are not bootable with this host driver missing. [Test case] 1. On an affected system, reboot to a kernel from 13.04. 2. Install the initramfs-tools package from -proposed. 3. Reboot to the kernel from 13.10. 4. Verify that you are able to type your passphrase at the prompt in the initramfs. [Regression potential] Minimal. The update-initramfs script will ignore missing modules (such as the many other modules in the list which are built-ins), and the only change made is to copy the module into the initramfs: it will only be loaded in the initramfs if udev determines it's needed, just as it would load it after switching to the root filesystem. Is the same problem as here but in the new ubuntu 13.10 saucy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066376 I just can't use (i can install) a encrypted partition because when is time to introduce the password to unlock partition keyboard is not working. I don't know how to edit a bug to report it afects other version of ubuntu so i created this new bug...
