Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic yesterday which made my system
unbootable. I have an encrypted swap and home partition. The swap mounts
just fine as an early crypto disk. For the home I get a passphrase
prompt but when typing it in and pressing enter nothing happens. When I
press enter a second time I get a "bad passphrase" message and a new
prompt. Each time I type anything before pressing enter, the enter key
just seems to be ignored, no matter how many times I try. Pressing enter
without typing before works but of course to little use. I do get into
the emergency shell but I can't type there either. The only thing that
seems to work there is Ctrl-C. I'll attach a screen shot of how it
looks.
I use the non-graphic boot because Jaunty used to show my passphrase in
clear text when I didn't. I'd try the graphical boot if anyone could
tell me how to reactivate it in Karmic.
I noticed there are many similar bugs like this one but not for the
final AFAICS.
