[Bug 1530548] Re: passphrase input-box for encrypted disk is not shown
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1359689 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359689 After searching and trying for a long, long time, I finally found a solution which is acceptable for me. The situation is rather complex, so I try to describe it as structured as possible. Configuration - Hardware configuration: DH87RL board i7-4771 CPU GeForce GTX 970 Software configuration: Ubuntu 15.10 Driver selection You can either go with the open nouveau driver which is installed by default, or use the proprietary nvidia driver. Next, the "plymouth" package which enables you to configure the graphical boot up, is strongly involved. Using the nvidia driver together with plymouth does not work for me, but for all other 3 possible combinations, the solution is described below. There are 2 issues here closely connected, one is being able to enter the password for encrypted hard disks during boot, and the other is being able to switch to the console when X is up and running. Both issues are described below. Being able to enter the password for encrypted hard disks during boot - Nouveau driver with plymouth: The Nouveau driver works "ok" - this means I have to press the down arrow on the keyboard while booting so the text mode appears. There, the password is asked. (Some stars may already be displayed - delete them before entering the password...) This solution was ok, but I needed the nvidia driver to work, because with nouveau, for example, I had no proper 3D acceleration inside virtualbox. Nvidia driver without plymouth: The nvidia driver I use is nvidia-352 currently. I installed it via apt-get. So I did not download and install the driver from the nvidia.com site directly, but used the distribution (in my case: Ubuntu 15.10) package for the nvidia driver instead. For the nvidia driver to work, I had to disable plymouth. This can be done for example by passing the "noplymouth" option to the kernel parameters. --- /etc/default/grub (example) --- [...] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noplymouth" [...] --- update-grub --- Afterwards, execute update-grub from the command line: # update-grub With that changes, I can see the screen flicker shortly during the graphical boot (obviously the password prompt appearing for a fraction of a second, and then disappearing again). But now I know that the password prompt is there, and I can start to type the password. The prompt will reappear with the first character typed, having recognized the typed character already. If insecure whether the password prompt is ready or not, I can still press the down arrow as described above. Yes, that´s not a perfect solution - but after searching and trying for such a long, long time: At least it is working - and you can get used to it. Just out of curiosity, I also tried the nouveau driver with plymouth disabled: In that case it works much smoother, as the password prompt really appears and stays on the screen. So it seems the free nouveau driver is doing something better than the nvidia driver. I guess NVIDIA has some homework to do here! Switch to console With the nouveau driver, it is easily possible to switch to the console (CTRL-ALT-F1) With the nvidia-352 driver, switching to the console is NOT possible! Pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 just does nothing. A (n ugly) workaround I found for this is to restart the window manager from within your X session. Working for me with lightdm as windows manager, not tested for others. Please save all your open documents BEFORE doing this, as all applications of your X session will be killed: sudo service lightdm restart So again, the nouveau driver does this better than the official nvidia driver. I need to say that I´m really disappointed by NVIDIA about that! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530548 Title: passphrase input-box for encrypted disk is not shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1530548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1530548] Re: passphrase input-box for encrypted disk is not shown
A better workaround (than hitting ctrl+alt+(F1-F7) keys and then Escape) is to remove the boot options 'splash $vt_handoff' You can do it 'live' after pressing the left shift key during boot and then the 'e' key. -o- You can actually enter the passphase while the dark blue screen (in Lubuntu) is displayed (without any help text and without feedback stars or dots). But it is confusing and would make most users think that the boot has failed. I did not think of it until I had a nights sleep ;-) ** Description changed: Iso-testing Lubuntu Alternate i386 iso file, testcase 'Alternate Install (Encryption) in Lubuntu Alternate i386 in Xenial Xerus Daily (alias Alpha1 in this case) The bug appears in the installed system: The passphrase input-box for encrypted disk is not shown (and the plymouth dots are not shown either, only a dark blue background). Pressing some of the ctrl + alt + (F1-F7) keys and after that Escape brings a text screen with the text 'Please unlock disk sda5_crypt', and it is possible to enter the passphrase, and I arrive at the login screen.
