Finally had time to set up a crypto disc on a clean Intrepid install and I can confirm that this problem persists.
I'm prompted for the filesystem's passphrase but if I type it incorrectly, I don't get re-prompted, the boot just continues and then quickly fails because, not surprisingly, it can't check the encrypted partition. /etc/crypttab has a line: home /dev/sda11 none checkargs=ext2,tries=5 which according to the man page, SHOULD mean I get five attempts at the passphrase. I tried putting "set -x" in /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions just before the password prompt to see if anything useful appeared, but unfortunately STDERR seems to be redirected elsewhere so I couldn't see anything. -- cryptdisks-early fails to re-prompt if passphrase is incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260462 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
