Password echoed in plain text in console : usplash prompt has been already tested in the past, and there is a reason why it has not been used. When typing your password in usplash prompt, your password is echoed in plain text in the console. If you read the cryptsetup changelog, you'll see that this issue happened in the past and that's why developers choosed to break usplash instead. I can reproduce this security problem with your current package in intrepid. You can see more information in bug 55159, read my last comment on that bug. fsck fill cryptsetup prompt : if fsck runs before usplash cryptsetup prompt, it will fill your prompt with fsck outputs. This is impossible to type your password in these conditions, and a unclean reboot takes you to the same point since fsck starts again. -- When mounting encrypted drives the password should be asked for graphically and not in text mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
