I can also confirm that 3.19.0-31.36~RevertsV2 works, it resolves the
issue on a Dell XPS13 2015.

I noticed that the issue isn't resolved if I only install the linux-
image package, it is only when I also install linux-image-
extra-3.19.0-31-generic_3.19.0-31.36~RevertsV2 the issue is resolved. I
wasn't aware that installing the extra package was a requirement.

The previous version, 3.19.0-31.36~lp1500751Reverts, still exhibit the
bug, regardless if I have linux-image-extra for that kernel installed or
not.

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).
