I have the same problem using Kubuntu Karmic alternate CD. I can encrypt a partition during install, but on reboot at the prompt for password for encrypted partition, entering password and enter does nothing. Pressing enter a second time results in failure.
I tried enter first, then password, then enter. Nothing. Enter again, rejection of the correct password. Next attempt requires enter key eight times before rejection. Something is seriously wrong with this. -- Upgrade to Karmic completely broke password prompt for cryptdisks at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475293 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
