[Bug 1500751] Re: Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

 

I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out which commit  introduced this
regression. It would be very helpful to know the last good kernel and
the first bad kernel.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for
the earliest kernel version that doesn't have this bug:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19.8-ckt5-vivid/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19.8-ckt6-vivid/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19.8-ckt7-vivid/

You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the first kernel that
exhibits the bug.

Thanks in advance!

  Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am running Xubuntu 15.04 and just upgraded to the latest kernel (3.19.0-30).
  After upgrading the boot time is longer (what is negligible) but the more sever error is, that I cannot enter my passphrase when I see the crypt dialog.
  I just see the dialog to enter my passphrase, but when I try to enter it, nothing appears in the textfield. I tried with the builtin laptop keyboard but also with an external USB keyboard.

  I thought about supplying more information, but things like the syslog
  are not helping apparently (I was not able to boot until the syslog
  would capture information...). If you need anything I can provide, I
  gladly help.

  [Test case]
  1. On an affected system boot into kernel 3.19.0-30

  [Solution]
  The "solution" for now is booting the older Kernel 3.19.0-28 (which isn't a real solution).
