I have been experiencing this issue for weeks, ever since plumouth 0.9.0 landed. I've discussed it with Alan Pope and Steve Langasek. I've just tried installing stock Ubuntu 14.10 Beta 2 desktop i386 on the following systems and selected full disk encryption on all of them during the install:
* Thinkpad T43p (ATI/AMD graphics chipset, open source driver) - On reboot my pass phrase is not accepted. * Thinkpad X61s (Intel graphics chipset, open source driver) - On reboot I can enter my pass phrase. * VirtualBox Guest (no virtualbox-guest-* modules installed) - On reboot my pass phrase is not accepted. Therefore I suspect this issue is in someway releated to the graphics driver. The following bug raised against Plymouth also describes the same issue. * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1359689 The other concern is users running 14.04 with full disk encrpytion and who then upgrade to 14.10 could effectively brick their computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362333 Title: After reboot of Ubuntu Gnome installation, password for LVM encryption is not accepted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1362333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
