** Summary changed: - mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash + mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash (encrypted root)
** Description changed: + Note that this bug is (now) just for those with an encrypted root. A + workaround that seems to work for most people is to disable usplash. + + For those with an encrypted home directory who can't enter a password, + see Bug #497682 + + For those who have trouble without usplash, please see Bug #497684 + Binary package hint: mountall I have a system with an encrypted root (well encrypted LVM with root, home and swap volumes). Since upgrading to mountall 0.2.5 I have only managed to boot once. When I boot I get usplash appearing and asking me for the passphrase. I enter it, and booting continues. All was fine before 0.2.5 Basically mountall (now) times out and puts a message up saying "Press ESC to enter recovery console". I press ESC and nothing seems to happen. The first time I did this, it only reported that it was waiting for /home, I pressed ESC, nothing happened for a few seconds, and then booting continued as normal. Before reporting the bug I thought I would repeat to see if this was consistent, and I haven't managed to boot since - it now says it is waiting for multiple mounts, including / /tmp /boot and /home. I also see the message appear twice. Since I cannot see much history in usplash I have tried booting with splash and quiet removed from the boot options - actually this time it appears to have booted again (after at least 5 failed attempts) so I will investigate more on that machine. Anyway, there are two major issues: 1 mountall does not give me a recovery console 2 the timeout seems too short, probably due to the time it takes me to type my (long) pass phrase. Maybe mountall could have a longer timeout when any partitions use cryptsetup. (Although before I rebooted I did confirm that I had mountall 0.2.5 by looking at /usr/share/doc/mountall/changelog.gz . I did not do any more package upgrades). (I could not use apport/ubuntu-bug as it complained that mountall was not an ubuntu package, and now I can't boot anyway). -- mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash (encrypted root) 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
