I think your problem is related to using /dev/random in your crypttab swap /dev/sda4 /dev/random swap
/dev/random collects entropy from different parts of the system (including mouse/touchpad usage). I'm not sure, but I suspect entropy is not saved at shutdown, so entropy must be collected again at start up. /dev/random will block without enough entropy, and using the touchpad is putting some entropy into the random number system. If you want it to not block, try using /dev/urandom instead. It is not quite as secure, but I think it is more than secure enough for the key for the swap partition. For more on the differences between /dev/random and /dev/urandom, see $ man urandom (On reading that it mentions a way to save entropy on shutdown, though I think you would want to change the place to save it to not in /var/run as that is a filesystem in RAM created by ubuntu on start up). -- Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes (also non luks) in cryptsetup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62751 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
