Ubuntu 16.04 newest nVidia drivers version 367.35. Same problem as everyone in here. Unable to enter password after installing the nVidia driver. Screen stays frozen with no input.
Well, what's worked for me as a workaround is to change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” in the /etc/default/grub to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”” and then run sudo grub-update. It gives me the old style scrolling text login where I have an option to enter my filesystem decryption password. – ksclarke I did that and it works but it is now the old plain login text you get from a distro without an user interface. Really ugly and not user friendly. -- 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/1359689 Title: cryptsetup password prompt not shown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Utopic: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Vivid: Triaged Status in plymouth package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted setup: Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely black) and stays like that.
