I fetched the debug log using the debug console, however it's contents do not look suspicious to me...
systemd seems to try to start the cryptsetup service, the only question probably is where the password prompt does end up... ** Attachment added: "systemd jounal fetched using debug console." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1453912/+attachment/4416839/+files/journal.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453912 Title: systemd does not allow to boot with /home on dm-crypt Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading from version 14.10 to Kubuntu 15.04, my system does not boot normally any more. Maybe it's only a stupid oversight on my part, but not being a systemd pro, I'm currently at a loss of how to debug this any further. Hints and pointers to appropriate documentation are welcome! Kubuntu 15.04 quickly boots to a specific point where it seems to try to enable a dm-crypt partition which also carries /home, beside other data, and simply stalls. I'm not asked to enter my crytpdisk password and I also cannot enter it blindly without being asked. You can see the point where it stalls in the attached "screenshot" (photo of my screen). I can then press Ctrl+Alt+Del to cleanly restart the system but I could not find a way to get beyond this point with systemd. Using the alternative boot option with upstart works flawlessly. (Although booting with this boot option is really slow and it takes a while to reach the graphical login screen - it basically looks as if the system is waiting for some name resolving timeouts during boot, but that's a different issue, if've not debugged it further and maybe it's just gone once systemd works to boot my machine.)
