Timo's suggestion in comment 54 resolves the issue with default ubuntu kernel:
linux-image-3.19.0-30-generic 3.19.0-30.34 linux-image-extra-3.19.0-30-generic 3.19.0-30.34 I applied the following change: --- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/framebuffer.orig 2015-10-20 10:49:27.894272802 +0200 +++ /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/framebuffer 2015-10-20 10:34:22.515012294 +0200 @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/char/agp copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/gpu +copy_modules_dir kernel/ubuntu/i915 manual_add_modules fbcon manual_add_modules vesafb And ran the command update-initramfs -k all -u I have a Dell XPS 13 2015. -- 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: Invalid 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 severe 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).
