Xavier, There are two configurations for such devices that are supported by karmic:
- configure the filesystem as 'bootwait' in /etc/fstab. This will block the boot indefinitely waiting for the device, to ensure that slow hardware does not prevent the passphrase prompt from being displayed. - configure the filesystem as 'noauto' in /etc/fstab, and configure the crypted device as 'noauto' in /etc/crypttab. You will not be prompted for a passphrase at boot time; you will need to manually run 'cryptdisks_start' and 'mount' after you've logged in. There simply is no reliable way to prompt for the passphrase *only* when the device is available, because unless 'bootwait' is set, there's nothing to prevent gdm starting while you're in the middle of typing in your passphrase. -- cryptsetup starts too early https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
