Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cryptsetup
Hi, after experiencing the bug described in Bug #434232, I tried again with a new setup: One encrypted data partition which is supposed to be mounted at boot (contains different folders which are later symlinked for various purposes). Manual opening with cryptsetup luksOpen and manual mounting works OK as expected. Without adding the "bootwait" option to /etc/fstab, I had the problem with the X-server starting before the password prompt. With "bootwait" specified, the boot now waits for the partition, and the X-server is not started. The system waits and a message is displayed that the specified partition can not be mounted yet. However, still, entering the correct passphrase is not possible for me. Quoting Pete Phillips (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/430496/comments/46): "something appears to be eating my keystrokes"... Sometimes it displays the passphrase in clear text (displayed with the wrong, english, C locale, but it also won't work using the english keyboard layout). But mainly it just doesn't work and displays "enter passphrase for data3..." and "no key available with this passphrase...". Also, the prompting message for the passphrase is not displayed initially and only appears after the first "enter" key press and appears out-of-phase with the actual input. It seems as if two processes were using the keyboard input at the same time. If I press "ESC" and give the root password for the maintenance shell (which only works sometimes, too), the shell appears and some commands work, but there is no key echo on the screen; very strange things happen... ==> My /etc/fstab entry WITH "bootwait": /dev/mapper/data3 /data3 ext4 defaults,bootwait 0 2 ==> My /etc/crypttab for this setup: # <target name> <source device> <key file> <options> data3 /dev/sda5 none luks,cipher=aes-xts-plain SWAP /dev/sda2 /dev/urandom swap Running linux-2.6.32, no initrd, Kubuntu Karmic x86-64 with latest upgrades, ==> cryptsetup version 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn4 upstart version: 0.6.3-11 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Dec 28 17:50:40 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: cryptsetup 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu7.2 [modified: usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start usr/sbin/cryptdisks_stop] ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= PATH=(custom, user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: cryptsetup Uname: Linux 2.6.32.ua64.local x86_64 XsessionErrors: (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:4720): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (thunderbird-bin:4751): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times ** Affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- Can't enter password for encrypted partition - even with "bootwait"-option set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501070 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
