Piotr Piwonski, as per
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (3.20).
If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Crypt password screen not responding

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  During booting of system when the password screen for a encrypted device is presented there is no response.
  The screen is not accepting any input.
  I can switch to another screen using ctrl+alt+F# key and see blinking cursor.
  Switching back to ctrl+alt+F7 is showing message and all entered keys on screen.

  Rebooting by ctrl+alt+del or power button causes that the system boots
  to a text version of that screen where I can enter the password and
  system boots to OS.

  Not sure what could be gathered during this event to assist in
  identifying the problem since I have no possibility to get any logs
  and decrypt the disk :(

  Regards,
  Peter

  
  Just to add when the password screen is "hung" and I switch to different screen and back to F7 I see this message: 
  starting version 219

  The same is visible when second boot is going. However this time I'm pushed to text based version where no problem is visible
