[Bug 1391496] Re: [Intel DQ67SW] Can not enter password to decrypt disk at boot

 

Max Spicer, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.13 to
3.16 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed
immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited
analysis of the root cause of your issue.  Could you please do this
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ? Please note,
finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Intel DQ67SW] Can not enter password to decrypt disk at boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. My whole disk is encrypted
  with luks and since the upgrade I have found I can no longer unlock my
  disk at boot. The enter password screen appears, but typing does not
  cause any characters to appear in the password box. However, if I hit
  ctrl-alt f7 (not sure of the precise function key) I get a black
  screen with a flashing white cursor and I can see the password that I
  entered. This would seem to imply that this is not a problem with the
  usb drivers, as has been reported in other similar bugs. It's as if
  the focus is simply in the wrong place at the time when I need to
  enter my password. Entering the password anyway and pressing enter has
  no effect.

  By using Grub to select the previous kernel, I can then decrypt my disk and use the system as normal. The working kernel version is 3.13.0-39-generic. The problematic kernel is 3.16.0-24-generic.
