"none" is the key file: crypttab(5):
"""The third field, key file, describes the file to use as a key for decrypting the data of the source device. Note that the entire key file will be used as the passphrase; the passphrase must not be followed by a newline character.""" However I'll try booting with the different init systems and attach the syslog results soon, hopefully this evening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453912 Title: systemd does not allow to boot with /home on dm-crypt Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading from version 14.10 to Kubuntu 15.04, my system does not boot normally any more. Maybe it's only a stupid oversight on my part, but not being a systemd pro, I'm currently at a loss of how to debug this any further. Hints and pointers to appropriate documentation are welcome! Kubuntu 15.04 quickly boots to a specific point where it seems to try to enable a dm-crypt partition which also carries /home, beside other data, and simply stalls. I'm not asked to enter my crytpdisk password and I also cannot enter it blindly without being asked. You can see the point where it stalls in the attached "screenshot" (photo of my screen). I can then press Ctrl+Alt+Del to cleanly restart the system but I could not find a way to get beyond this point with systemd. Using the alternative boot option with upstart works flawlessly. (Although booting with this boot option is really slow and it takes a while to reach the graphical login screen - it basically looks as if the system is waiting for some name resolving timeouts during boot, but that's a different issue, if've not debugged it further and maybe it's just gone once systemd works to boot my machine.)
