Title:
Lubuntu Install (entire disk with encryption) doesn't prompt for disk
password.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Workarounds for this bug:
1) When you land at the blank screen (it is waiting for your LVM
encryption password) just type your password. Alternatively, hit one
of the up/down arrow keys to get to the GUI and enter your password
(you will need to hit backspace twice to remove the two characters
that were put in by the one arrow key press)
2) Edit your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. In the menu entry for the
kernel you wish to boot, add the text "plymouth:force-drm" (without
the quotes) to the end of the line that starts with "linux
/boot/vmzlinux-3.2.....". If you do this workaround, you will need to
re-apply this fix anytime the kernel package is updated or grub is
otherwise modified as the file is completely re-written each time.
3) Use the un-modified kernel. Read:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds to manually download a
mainline kernel and install on your system.
---original bug follows---
When installing the lubuntu image as part of the iso testing
(lubuntu/daily/20120327/precise-alternate-amd64.iso) using the
alternate installer from the daily builds for March 27, 2012, I
attemted to make a full-disk encrypted setup using LVM. I used the
instructions from the isotesting testcase:
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm
The install went perfectly. However, when I rebooted, the system hung
on a blank screen. I left it for over half an hour, and no response.
At this point, I simply typed in the password for the LVM encryption,
and the system then continuted to boot normally.
After getting into the system, I tested it (everything was working
fine) then rebooted. I experienced the same symptoms (just a blank
screen) after each boot.
I believe that there is supposed to be a screen prompting the user for the
password for the LVM encryption instead of just a blank screen.
