Title:
  Prompted for cryptoswap passphrase when using GPT partitioning +
  encrypted home directory (ecryptfs)

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm still sorting out the details and eliminating variables, but as
  far as I can tell:

  Steps to reproduce
  ===============

  1) Install Ubuntu using GPT partitioning for the OS drive[*]

  2) Choose "require my password to login", and check "encrypt my home
  directory"

  Expected behavior
  ===============

  No special user interaction should be required to initialized the
  crytposwap other than normally logging in

  Actual behavior
  ============

  Prior to lightdm coming up, you will be prompted to enter your
  passphrase to unlock the cryptoswap, similar to how you would be
  prompted to unlock the OS drive when using full disk encryption (see
  attached photo).

  When lightdm comes up, you have to enter your password/passphrase
  again to login.

  Work-arounds
  ===========

  1) This only seems to happen when using GTP partitioning, not MBR...
  so use MBR if you can

  2) Even with GTP partitioning, booting with init=/sbin/upstart seems
  to reliably fix the problem, so it certainly seems systemd related

  Notes
  =====

  * As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to force Ubiquity to create
  a GPT partition table when the OS drive is < 2TB, but it will
  automatically use GPT partitioning when the OS drive is >= 2TB. My
  particular test was done using the System76 imaging server, which by
  default uses GPT partitioning even when the OS drive is < 2TB.
