This works on my systems. They have /home and swap as partitions on a LVM volume, in turn on a LUKS partition, and the key is this: You must (whether you ever hibernate or not) specify RESUME=UUID=(UUID of swap partition), then update-initramfs -u . Now, the passphrase is called in the initramfs, NOT echoed to a console under the splash screen, works fine splash or no.
To work without a resume image specified is possible but very buggy, and your problems do not suprise me. What happens is this: Cryptsetup is called by /etc/init/cryptdisks-enable.conf if you are using the current (karmic) build of cryptsetup. Cryptsetup now calls for the passphrase- but it is not the only program running! Always after the first call another program will echo text to the console, making passphrase entry impossible. The second try, however, generally works in my tests(your results may differ!) as other programs are now waiting instead of echoing their own messages. Same with or without splash-except, of course, for the echo-to-console under the splash screen bug, which is still there. With LVM, one passphrase call handles the entire volume group, and is called in the initramfs, same as before. Without this arrangement, encryption becomes a real bugfest as of now. Cryptsetup in init needs to have a console to itself(all other outputs suppressed)-or else be modified to call everything in /etc/crypttab during the initramfs, whether needed for a resume image or not. It has not really been ported very well to upstart, it seems. -- crypto disk passphrase can't be entered https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464292 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
