Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
Hi!
First of all, I'm not sure if this belongs to upstart or cryptsetup. I'm filing
it under upstart just because
it's a regression from Jaunty (i.e. it worked on jaunty, just upgraded to
Karmic, now it doesn't) and the
cryptsetup behaviour looks the same. It may also be a bug in cryptsetup that
was masked by
Jaunty's behaviour.
I have two partitions on /etc/crypttab. One of them is swap and another
is a regular disk.
In Jaunty, as a part of the boot process, I got asked the passwords for these
early (swap on
initramfs, the regular one at the normal init process), way before starting X.
After upgrading to Karmic, apparently X starts in parallel to the cryptsetup
init script, so I have to
switch to the text console to enter the second password (the initramfs
obviously works just fine).
It should be noted that after I enter them, the boot process continues by
running other scripts.
I'd expect the cryptsetup runs early on, before X is started, to prevent
things like this.
While I can work around this on this computer, I thought it would be better to
report it in case there
are more complex scenarios that can cause more trouble.
If anyone needs more information, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Alberto
