Title:
  Cannot enter disk encryption password

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting with an encrypted root partition, I'm unable to enter the
  password when prompted during boot. Rebooting by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del
  twice, displays grub menu and then puts me in a degraded mode of some
  sort where I can enter the password and boot successfully. Disabling
  splash in grub options works too by using a text mode password input.

  This seems to have been introduced in some of the recent updates. It
  used to work fine after my initial installation of 15.04.

  Laptop model: Thinkpad X250
  Ubuntu version: 15.04
  Kernel version: 3.19.0-30
  Plymouth version: 0.9.0-0ubuntu9
