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

 

I have just marked my issue as a duplicate of this
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1504763).

A summary of my findings:
* Using kernel 3.19.0.28 works with graphical plymouth
* Using kernel 3.19.0.31 does not work with graphical plymouth
* Using kernel 3.19.0.31 does work without graphical plymouth
* Using 3.19.8-031908ckt7-generic works with graphical plymouth

So I am using http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.19.8-ckt7-vivid/linux-
image-3.19.8-031908ckt7-generic_3.19.8-031908ckt7.201509251130_amd64.deb
without any issues.

This suggests the issue is with a local Ubuntu patch or it was fixed
upstream.

Title:
  Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
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 severe 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).
