I'm confirming rp's experenence in comment 19: The bisected linux- image-3.19.0-29-generic version 3.19.0-29.31~lp1500751Commit2286f1ed still contains the bug, using that kernel I cannot enter the passsphrase.
Joseph, thank's for the deb:s of bisect builds! Let's try another one. :) BTW, as I've mentioned in bug both of the following kernels works for me: 1. linux-image-3.19.8-031908ckt7-generic 2. linux-image-3.19.8-992-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1501205/comments/8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500751 Title: Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30 Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I am running Xubuntu 15.04 and just upgraded to the latest kernel (3.19.0-30). After upgrading the boot time is longer (what is negligible) but the more sever error is, that I cannot enter my passphrase when I see the crypt dialog. I just see the dialog to enter my passphrase, but when I try to enter it, nothing appears in the textfield. I tried with the builtin laptop keyboard but also with an external USB keyboard. I thought about supplying more information, but things like the syslog are not helping apparently (I was not able to boot until the syslog would capture information...). If you need anything I can provide, I gladly help. [Test case] 1. On an affected system boot into kernel 3.19.0-30 [Solution] The "solution" for now is booting the older Kernel 3.19.0-28 (which isn't a real solution).
