The issue seems to be with desktop computers, not laptops? Full disk
encryption works well on my laptop, has always worked well, just not on
my desktop computer.

Title:
  cryptsetup password prompt not shown

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Won't Fix
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Triaged
Status in plymouth package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted
  setup:

  Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely
  black) and stays like that. When I press the down key, I can see the
  password prompt. When I press the up key again, I get to the graphical
  password prompt.

  This is demonstrated in the following screencast:

  Maybe this is related to the version of plymouth utopic currently uses, a similar debian bug report seems to be resolved with a newer version 0.9.0-6, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752752.
