[Bug 1425350] [NEW] Ubuntu GNOME encrypted install - password won't unlock screen

 

Public bug reported:

I'm testing Ubuntu GNOME Vivid 20150224 i386 and performed an encrypted
LVM install which appeared to complete successfully but when I let the
screen lock my password is not accepted. I repeated the test to be sure
it wasn't an error on my part. To reproduce follow these steps:

(1) Install Ubuntu GNOME Vivid using entire disc with LVM & encryption.
Be sure to choose auto-login = yes (I'm not sure that matters but I see
no point in having to enter both the encryption password and the login
password on each boot).

(2) Once the installation is complete boot the new system and wait +5
minutes for the screen to lock.

(3) Attempt to unlock the screen and you'll find your password is not
accepted (neither is the encryption password - I checked).

(4) Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to open a TTY, enter your user name, and then
your password which you'll find is accepted.

(5) Type sudo-reboot and the system reboots as expected.
