ok, I just rebooted both and I have to make it clear: there are 2 kind of different behavioral ways it can manifest itself:
1) the splash works fine (progress bar is continually going from left to right) then it prompts for password, after being entered it switches to console (text; black background and white text) output and shows the password on / after the cryptsetup line -> nice progress but security risk 2) the splash doesn't work (progressbar pretty fast goes from left to right and stays there on the right, no progress is being visualized) [this also happened before this problem with the password so it's also a specific bug / problem with the splash/usplash] after some time disc activity stalls and doesn't go on, I found out that at that point it prompts for the password but doesn't show it so after having entered the password and having pressed the [Enter] button it goes straight to the gdm screen (not switching to console/text output) with /home | the encrypted partition mounted -> bad aesthetics but secure hard to tell what to do for non-experienced users -- the password entered during boot for an encrypted partition (e.g. /home) is shown in plain text after having entered it (behind usplash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
