I had 16.04 for 2 weeks on my newly built pc. The OS was running great until today when I restarted my pc and wasn't able to type in my password as I usually would. Instead popped up in the top left of the screen. Confused I start fiddling with everything I could and for the next 3-4hrs nothing. At that rate I got desperate. Began asking around due to not finding this similar problem anywhere and people began to say I had ransomware. I questioned this greatly but panicked at the same time. Then learned I could gain access through recovery mode. Though why should I go through all this trouble to gain access to my pc? I then resorted to wiping the ssd and restoring my files on a newly installed 16.04 ubuntu OS.This time without the encryption on boot up. Seems to do some sort of low quality box shaped circles now on boot up but have usual access to the pc now. In all honesty I want the extra encryption but hate that this glitch is such a thing. Was then told that this has been a ongoing issue for YEARS now. To think that such an issue like this is still not fixed is insane. Hope though maybe soon this will finally get fixed.
