[Bug 1489630] Re: Random Software Updates request password for encrypted partition

 

This is not a bug in the individual package (cups).  Nor is it a bug in
the package manager (apt, update-manager) or in cryptsetup: none of
these packages are generating this prompt.

The only package which handles cryptsetup prompting when booting with
systemd is systemd itself.  Reassigning.

Note that if you want to avoid all boot prompting for this device you
should use the 'noauto' option for it in /etc/crypttab.  However,
systemd is still doing something un-clever here and that should be
fixed.

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: cups (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Random Software Updates request password for encrypted partition

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an encrypted partition (luks / cryptsetup)  on my drive which
  is mounted manually when required and only contains documents.

  Regularly, when Software Updater is run and updates are installed the
  update process will stall, and if the command line window is expanded
  I can see that one of the updates is requesting that I enter the
  password to mount the encrypted partition.

  THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PARTITION TO BE REQUIRED

  Today, the application which did this was CUPS (Please see attachment) however on previous occasions it has been other updates.
  Today, I did not enter the password was request twice by the package but I did not enter the password, I just pressed enter and the package seems to have installed successfully.

  I will update this bug in the future with other applications which
  cause this issue.

  Thanks
