I abandoned the release-upgrader route for upgrading from root encrypted
14.04 LTS pretty quickly.  I later tried to upgrade by downloading to a
USB key and reinstalling.  However, the current Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10
has a problem with broken encryption.  So, encrypting partitions was
broke in a way that made it very difficult to know why the install
wasn't working.

Root encrypted 14.04 LTS had always been a problem for me.  It would
boot up in a way that left the screen blank.  In order to unencrypt to
complete the bootup, I had to ALT-CTRL-F6 then ALT-CTRL-F7 to get it to
ask for the encryption key.

What forced me to try to upgrade was that the (Broadcom) WiFi broke, and
I forgot that I had read that updates and upgrades may break the WiFi
that was installed.

It would also crash on occasion when suspending (after several
suspensions).

So, I reverted to an unencrypted install of 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr).
Then, when creating the user account, I selected the option for
encryption of the user directory.  Much easier.  And the machine is now
much more reliable.

So far, I have done more than several suspends and it has been rock
solid.
