[gravy45 <1359689@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, @Dekker500's workaround did not yield a text input of the
passphrase as I expected, but it did cause the graphical text entry to
come up!  What in the world?

adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text to /etc/default/grub and then "sudo
update-grub" causes the (plymouth?) graphical screen to come up at the
next reboot

Now instead of seeing the screen flash once to black and then the
passphrase entry (as in 14.04), it does this twice, then the passphrase
can be entered in graphical entry, but hey, it is working for me.    !!!
???

Title:
  cryptsetup password prompt not shown

Bug description:
  Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted
  setup:

  Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely
  black) and stays like that. When I press the down key, I can see the
  password prompt. When I press the up key again, I get to the graphical
  password prompt.

  This is demonstrated in the following screencast:

  Maybe this is related to the version of plymouth utopic currently uses, a similar debian bug report seems to be resolved with a newer version 0.9.0-6, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752752.
