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

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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).
