hey - i've got a workaround that I use, but not a fix. ive set up an encrypted partition on /dev/hdb3
to get it to ask for the password when gnome loads up (and mount it then), ive taken the reference to it out of /etc/fstab, and included it into /etc/pmount.allow then in the gnome startup programs (preferences>sessions>startup programs) ive added: gnome-terminal -e "pmount /dev/hdb3" so the LUKS password prompt shows up each time gnome starts, and mounts the disk. i prefer this anyway to a password prompt half way through boot up. not a fix, though, but it might help someone. -- Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes in cryptsetup https://launchpad.net/bugs/62751 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
