Is there anything I can do to help get this fixed? It's a big deal for me, even with "quiet splash" removed from the grub options. I have several encrypted partitions. On boot, I get a password prompt for the root partition and the boot proceeds for a while. Then I get password prompts for each other partition separately. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it sits there waiting for 1 minute 30 seconds on some task. I think it's something like "x2d-dev-mapper", but I don't have it written down. If I see the wait message at all, the boot fails and I get dropped into emergency mode. It might not happen if I type in the passwords fast enough, but I'm not entirely sure.
Before this bug, I only had to type the password once (it's the same for all the partitions) and it would always succeed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638983 Title: Boot splash with luks password prompt broken after nvidia upgrade to 367 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just got the nvidia driver update from 361 to 367. Upon reboot, the boot splash (plymouth?) with the password prompt for the encrypted root is missing. The screen flashes dark purple and the switches to black with a blinking cursor echoing anything typed. Ctrl-alt-del reboots. Booting with kernel options "quiet splash" removed results in a text-mode boot process where the password prompt is present, proceeding normally. Wasn't sure if this was plymouth or nvidia issue, I'm guessing nvidia because that's what upgraded and broke functionality. Tried redoing update-grub and update-initramfs, didn't help. Found I had both nvidia-361 and nvidia-367 installed (why didn't -361 uninstall?), but manually removing -361 (and redoing initramfs just in case) didn't change anything.
