It appears that 3.16.0-28-generic fixes this problem so I will not do a full bisect. After successfully booting and decrypting my disks with 3.16.0-28-generic, I have just rebooted to 3.16.0-26-generic to confirm that the issue is still present there. I assume that this issue should now be closed. Thanks for your help!

My whole disk is encrypted with luks and since the upgrade I have found I can no longer unlock my disk at boot. The enter password screen appears, but typing does not cause any characters to appear in the password box. However, if I hit ctrl-alt f7 (not sure of the precise function key) I get a black screen with a flashing white cursor and I can see the password that I entered. This would seem to imply that this is not a problem with the usb drivers, as has been reported in other similar bugs. It's as if the focus is simply in the wrong place at the time when I need to enter my password. Entering the password anyway and pressing enter has no effect. By using Grub to select the previous kernel, I can then decrypt my disk and use the system as normal. The working kernel version is 3.13.0-39-generic. The problematic kernel is 3.16.0-24-generic. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC3: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: mjs510 3162 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=66fe5f6c-9937-43f3-90ed-9764c8a9a263 IwConfig: eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
