Several reboots later and I only get this problem when I use usplash. Interestingly, I don't get any messages about waiting while the password prompt is 'open', even if I leave the machine alone for several minutes without typing anything at the password prompt, whether with or without usplash. It is only after entering the (correct) passphrase that I start getting messages. When I enter the incorrect passphrase I just get the passphrase prompt again, no messages about waiting until after cryptsetup has succeeded.
So for those who hit this problem and are having trouble: WORKAROUND Basically disable splash. How to do this is less obvious due to changes in grub, so step by step: * Hold down the shift key while booting - this will take you to the grub menu. * Press 'e' on the default option * edit the text on the line starting 'kernel' (the second last line in a default setup) and delete the word 'splash' on that line * hit Ctrl-X to boot with those options. -- mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456274 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
