Ulrich Lukas : Please don't change the bug status, Triaged is more appropriate than Confirmed here. As mentionned in previous comments, this bug affect very rare user customisations where the root filesystem does not depend on cryptsetup. In your case, you can easily use a workaround to enjoy Karmic without that bug, you just need to edit /etc /initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot so usplash ask you the passphrase from the initramfs (before ubuntu starts to boot, like when you install ubuntu on cryptsetup partitions using ubuntu alternate CD).
Or you can simply copy these commands (in good order) in a terminal (and take care to change /dev/sda1 by the device name of your real cryptsetup partition). These will do all the job for you. sudo bash echo 'CRYPTROOT=target=pvcrypt,source=/dev/sda1' > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot update-initramfs -u If you need more assistance, please don't comment in the bug report, you can contact me directly if you want, or use ubuntuforums or launchpad answers. ** Changed in: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- cryptsetup prompt is overriden by upstart and xsplash in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434232 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
