Public bug reported: if I cold boot via my computer's power button, Ubuntu 12.10 won't start whereas 12.04 did. however, if I CTRL+ALT+DEL after Ubuntu was supposed to have started, it restarts and shows the grub menu. after that, everything works as expected.
I used quantal's guided whole-disk encryption with a fresh install.
