I'm facing the same issue on Wily (15.10). It's an upgrade from 14.10 installation. Didn't tried workaround proposed above yet. Let me know how can I provide more data if you need it.

[Bug 1355617] Re: "plymouth ask-for-password" unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0)
I have this problem on a bare-metal vivid installation: ii cryptsetup 2:1.6.1-1ubuntu7 amd64disk encryption support - startup scripts ii plymouth 0.9.0-0ubuntu9 amd64graphical boot animation and logger - main package What happens is that i get to the plymouth passphrase prompt, but no matter what i type, nothing shows up on the textbox. Keyboard is working because i can switch to a different tty (tty1, tty2, etc) and the scary thing is that i can even switch to tty7 where i can see the passphrase in clear text that i just typed. Using richardgodbee workaround above i get to a 'loading ubuntu' plymouth splashscreen, and blindly typing my passphrase makes it work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355617 Title: "plymouth ask-for-password" unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1355617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1355617] Re: plymouth ask-for-password unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0)
While this is a bug and should be fixed, I've found a cleaner workaround (and not prone to overwriting by a possible dpkg upgrade). Add keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/askpass to crypttab, e.g.: root_crypt UUID=916478f6-fdee-48e1-bc6f-dba0c5145dfa none luks,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/askpass and update-initramfs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355617 Title: plymouth ask-for-password unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1355617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1355617] Re: plymouth ask-for-password unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0)
That's very close to the workaround I ended up using on my Trusty VMs: # grep root /etc/crypttab crypt-root /dev/xvdc noneluks,keyscript=local.askpass # cat /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/local.askpass #!/bin/sh exec /lib/cryptsetup/askpass $(printf '\nEnter passphrase for %s (%s): ' $CRYPTTAB_SOURCE $CRYPTTAB_NAME) Just setting keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/askpass makes /usr/share /initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot run askpass with an empty string as its sole command-line argument, so askpass doesn't display a prompt before reading the password. This makes it look like the boot process has hung, even though it's actually sitting there waiting for the password. You can also add a key= option to crypttab, which controls the argument that the .../local-top/cryptroot script passes to the keyscript, but because of how the options string in crypttab is parsed, there can't be any spaces or commas in the string. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355617 Title: plymouth ask-for-password unable to read keyboard input on Xen PV console (hvc0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1355617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
