I have a proposed fix for this, could somebody who uses cryptsetup try this...
Edit the init.d script, at the top you'll find some code that looks like: stdin=`readlink /proc/self/fd/0` if [ "${stdin#/dev/null}" != "$stdin" ]; then exec </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 fi Modify that so it reads: stdin=`readlink /proc/self/fd/0` if [ "${stdin#/dev/null}" != "$stdin" ] && [ "$ON_VT" != "yes" ]; then exec env ON_VT=yes /usr/bin/openvt -f -c `fgconsole` $0 "$@" fi -- Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes in cryptsetup https://launchpad.net/bugs/62751 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
