[Bug 537793] Re: missed passphrase keypress bug is back on MSI Wind U100
Confirming bug is here on Plymouth 0.8.1-1ubuntu3 and EeePC 1005PE (Intel Atom as well). I've seen the bug with all Plymouth versions since Lucid Beta so far. I would describe it this way : On Plymouth passphrase dialog, I have to type SLOWLY and keep keys pressed firmly and long enough and check that a bullet is displayed for every key I press. If I type normally fast, Plymouth misses 10-20% of the keys pressed. Of course my machine's keyboard works perfectly once machine is booted... ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- missed passphrase keypress bug is back on MSI Wind U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537793 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

No, because bug #497115 is filed by a user who no longer experiences the problem.

I can confirm this bug, too. Same behaviour as described by Swâmi Petaramesh. lucid beta1 Plymouth 0.8.1-1ubuntu3 Acer Aspire 5740G (core i5) If I type very slow I have a good chance, that every keystroke is recognized.

Bad news-this is now back, worse than ever, with Plymouth 0.8.1-1ubuntu3, and kernel 2.8.32-18-generic. Came back with the last couple day's updates. Some boot attempts OK, others miss so many keypresses it's better to power-cycle and start over.

Plymouth and cryptsetup are being run from the initramfs, since this is full disk encryption. I have tested the keyboard itself after booting by firing up Leafpad and looking for missed presses, finding none. Still, I cannot rule out a keyboard driver bug that early in the boot process, so plymouth may or many not even be at fault for those.

Since you're using encrypted filesystems, you must have cryptsetup installed, so Plymouth is starting from the initramfs. Plymouth will set its TTY up to be in raw mode, and make it the active VT on the console.

This put the console back into cooked mode, ie. Plymouth's active VT. Since Plymouth is now receiving cooked key codes not raw key codes, it's not what it expects; and thus we have the bug where keypresses are missed or mis-interpreted. Later on, this same problem would cause X to crash on the Enter key. So it should be fixed as a result of that fix, we not only fixed bits in Plymouth but dropped that code from Upstart too.

RE: [Bug 537793] Re: missed passphrase keypress bug is back on MSI Wind U100
No-increasing the length of the passphrase box is just so I get a dot for every character, so I can see if any of the last ones were missed. Has NO effect on the missed keypresses themselves, just allows me to detect them. If I can see a missed keypress, I can strike that character again-and I have come to expect to do this on the netbook.

Problem is still here, and I've seen it with both the framebuffer renderer and the drm renderer. Again, this is only in the MSI Wind U100, not in my desktop machine.
