You can add one more XPS 13 to the list of affected systems. I'm about
to EOD but can also test additional kernels starting on Monday. All my
system info attached to duplicate LP Bug #1502171.

Title:
  Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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).
