I did more testing on my system and it is very hard to type fast enough that passphrase is accepted by cryptsetup. In most cases, timour happens, and I get message printed to enter recovery console with ESC. This message repeats with each keypress (if I try to enter password again).
If I press ESC, I get into recovery console and I can workaround the problem by issuing the following commands: start cryptdisks-enable (entering passphrase) mount -a exit Boot the continues and everything is fine. It looks like that when timeout happens, cryptsetup loose keyboard input as it is stolen by mountall ESC/recovery console handling. I suspect timout should be somehow disabled until cryptdisks-enable job is running (or any other job requiring user text input). ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-9.10 ** Tags added: regression-potential -- 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
