I'm have a similar problem. I'm going to see I can reproduce the up down
key work around.

Currently the blank screen manifest every other boot. Can either enter
pass phase blind or Ctrl+alt+del, to force reset then screen is visible.

If I knew how to generate all of those reports I would. Starts right after running software updater, even after fresh install. Current linux-image-generic version 13.19.0.18.17
linux-image-extra-3.19.0-18-generic ver. 3.19.0-18.18
xserver-xorg-core ver. 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2
cryptsetup 2:1.6.1-1ubuntu7
udisk2 2.1.5-1

System hardware:
Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 with current BIOS
CPU: AMD FX-8150 @ ~4.1Ghz
RAM: 32GB (4 x 8GB) Corsair maybe G-Skill (it's been a while since installing it) DDR3 2133 Dimms @ ~2133
Graphics Card primary: Sapphire Technology ATI Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition 2GB GDDR5
Graphics Card second: PowerColor AX7850 2GBD5-DH (AMD Radeon HD 7850) 2GB GDDR5
Wifi: AUSU PCE-AC68
Power Supply: Corsair RM 750 750 watt
Several HDD's

The only non-free software on the system is the Broadcom driver
(otherwise I can't use the wifi card), and Kerbal Space Program.

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.
