Public bug reported: I performed a minimal x86_64 network install of Ubuntu 15.04 using the encrypted LVM option.
When I boot the machine, I do not see a prompt to enter the decryption passphrase. Instead I see the usual black screen with a message that systemd 219 is staring up and the boot process hangs. When I type on the keyboard, the characters are echoed back onto the screen. I discovered that if I remove the "splash" option from the kernel boot command line in grub, the prompt to enter the passphrase does appear. So I have temporarily worked around this problem by removing "splash" from /etc/default/grub and running update-grub. ** Affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447840 Title: crypt passphrase prompt not visible when using splash boot option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1447840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
