Unfortunately this is pretty easy to reproduce. I installed Ubuntu Server 15.10, set up an additional partition and formatted it with LUKS, and added to crypttab. That is all it takes to make the boot process hang while it asks for a password. It appears that if the partition is unlocked in the initramfs, then it works. The initramfs cryptsetup is ok. But if initramfs doesn't unlock it - i.e. it's not the boot drive - then it's up to systemd to do so, which doesn't work. Oddly enough, if I reboot then I can momentarily see the password prompt just before the system reboots. Of course by then it's too late. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453912 Title: systemd does not unlock dm-crypt password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1453912/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
