Public bug reported:
I have DELL XPS 13 9343-2258 i7-5500U. with ubuntu 15.04 and encrypted root filesystem. A few days ago it received system upgrade which updated linux kernel to 3.19.0-30-generic Since then I cannot type password for decrypting root filesystem during boot. Just after I turn on computer, usual graphical screen with "Enter passphrase" text and edit box appears but any character I type is not entered into edit box but shows up in the top-left corner of the screen. Pressing enter starts a new line of text in that corner. I can workaround this problem by entering grub menu and choosing to boot with configuration for previous kernel (3.19.0-28-generic). When started this way, enter passphrase screen works correctly - typed characters ends up inside edit box. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501497 Title: Cannot enter passphrase during boot to decrypt root filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1501497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
