Problem Description 
=======================
VNC booting Ubuntu hangs after:
[    0.774027] /build/buildd/linux-3.16.0/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
due to no way to enter the password for an encrypted device. It occurs for an installation with the device encryption selected. Without encryption, the warning message still appears, but the booting can continue till login prompt.

Work Around: If selecting Recovery Mode quickly to boot, then there is
the chance to enter a password and bring up the system.

However, at the booting menu, if your hand is too slow, then the
terminal mode will be toggled to somewhat unknown. Then the <Enter> key
will not work, nor do the upper case letters. You have to type Ctrl+M
(alternative of <Enter> with normal TERM setting) to get in "Advanced
options for Ubuntu", but still end up unable to provide the correct
password if it contains any upper case letters.
