Ouch. Things have gone from bad to worse today.
After flummy's email I upgraded and rebooted. The system came up with new error messages about /lib/udev/watershed not found at this stage it seems to have abandoned looking for a password. Had to ESC out of this to the shell. I have abandoned auto mounting of the crypto disks. I commended out #/dev/mapper/crypt-home /home ext3 defaults,relatime,bootwait 0 2 and wrote a short shell script: ------------------------------------------------------------ lap1:[~] % cat /usr/local/bin/crypto-home #!/bin/sh # start crypt disks manually cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 crypt-home mount /dev/mapper/crypt-home /home --------------------------------------- so now i boot, go to a virtual terminal, run the script, then go to vt7 and log in. not smooth, but but works. :-( Pete -- passphrase for encrypted home partition not being read https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484272 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
