Public bug reported: I have been using previous versions of of Kubuntu and did a fresh install of Ibex from beta with 2.6.27-4 The most recent update is 2.6.27-9 I have two dm-crypt partitions - /home and swap. / and /boot are ext3 partitions.
On booting, the first password I need to enter is for swap (/dev/sda3). When the root filesystem is checked, preceding the input for password for /home (/dev/sda2), the output from the filesystem check prevents a password being entered and as a result /home is not mounted, thus kdm is not able to open and I need to reboot. This only happens once every twenty boots, the time when the root partition is checked. To reproduce this you will need four (maybe three) partitions. / - ext3 /home - dm-crypt swap - dm-crypt /boot - ext3 I have an idea that this occurs with the kubuntu boot splash screen, as previously 2.6.27-7 (I think) the bootsplash didn't work and I got text only and no problems entering the password. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- file system check on boot prevents password entry for dm-crypt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
