I updated the BIOS to the latest version per your request. Upon rebooting, the aforementioned bug is still occurring. Specifically when I get to the LUKS decryption part of booting up (http://i.stack.imgur.com/0yaNi.png - not mine specifically, but I'm talking about that prompt), when I try typing in my password to decrypt the volume, nothing shows up in the text box. No input seems to be handled at all.
Here is the output you requested (after the BIOS update): ryan@r6578-G75VW:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date [sudo] password for ryan: G75VW.223 01/07/2013 ryan@r6578-G75VW:~$ ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453292 Title: Can't Type in LUKS Password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1453292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
