an update: I just wanted to let you know, that this problem persists on my other box !
I've just installed ubuntu jaunty alpha 6 (x86_64) from alternate install CD and after entering data to /etc/crypttab and modifying /etc/fstab lines the first reboot: usplash / splash wouldn't prompt for any input and seemingly the system was prompting for a password but it was not viewable (probably behind the splash), trying to switch via ALT + F* only lead to a black screen the only "solution" (for me) to that was to kill some processes via Magic SysRQ Key + E, after that it continued (disc activity) and went to gdm prompt, I immediately rebooted on the second boot: it prompted for the password on the splash, I entered it, it switched to console output and the password was readable AGAIN ! please guys - try to reproduce this and FIX it this is really a security problem when people are able to read your password after being entered I can't afford buying a new laptop or a new system with integrated fingerprint reader ;) thanks -- the password entered during boot for an encrypted partition (e.g. /home) is shown in plain text after having entered it (behind usplash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
