[Bug 2064909] [NEW] Lubuntu and Kubuntu 24.04 fail to decrypt on boot when installed on encrypted partition

 

Public bug reported:

Test hardware 1 (Lubuntu 24.04 and Kubuntu 24.04):
VirtualBox, 2 CPUs, 8192 MB RAM, 128 MB VRAM, EFI disabled, Host I/O cache disabled.

Test hardware 2 (Kubuntu 24.04):
Intel Core i5 7400, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 3060 12 GB.

Language and locale: en_US.UTF-8.
Keyboard: Generic 105-key PC.

During installation, I selected manual partitioning, created an ext4
partition, checked the encrypt box, entered a passphrase, selected "/"
as mount point, and proceeded with the installation. But after reboot
when it asks for the encryption passphrase, and the passphrase is
entered correctly, it immediately shows an error like this:

error: Invalid passphrase.
error: disk 'cryptouuid/abc123...' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

This same problem occurs in both Lubuntu 24.04 and Kubuntu 24.04. But
the same installation steps work just fine with Lubuntu 22.04.4. I tried
different installation settings (VirtualBox/PC, MBR/GPT, BIOS/EFI, etc.)
and all resulted in the same error.
