** Description changed: + Workarounds for this bug: + + 1) When you land at the blank screen (it is waiting for your LVM + encryption password) just type your password. Alternatively, hit one of + the up/down arrow keys to get to the GUI and enter your password (you + will need to hit backspace twice to remove the two characters that were + put in by the one arrow key press) + + 2) Edit your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. In the menu entry for the kernel + you wish to boot, add the text "plymouth:force-drm" (without the quotes) + to the end of the line that starts with "linux + /boot/vmzlinux-3.2.....". If you do this workaround, you will need to + re-apply this fix anytime the kernel package is updated or grub is + otherwise modified as the file is completely re-written each time. + + 3) Use the un-modified kernel. Read: + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds to manually download a + mainline kernel and install on your system. + + ---original bug follows--- + When installing the lubuntu image as part of the iso testing (lubuntu/daily/20120327/precise-alternate-amd64.iso) using the alternate installer from the daily builds for March 27, 2012, I attemted to make a full-disk encrypted setup using LVM. I used the instructions from the isotesting testcase: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm The install went perfectly. However, when I rebooted, the system hung on a blank screen. I left it for over half an hour, and no response. At this point, I simply typed in the password for the LVM encryption, and the system then continuted to boot normally. After getting into the system, I tested it (everything was working fine) then rebooted. I experienced the same symptoms (just a blank screen) after each boot. I believe that there is supposed to be a screen prompting the user for the password for the LVM encryption instead of just a blank screen. - --- + --- ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DefaultPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/lubuntu-logo/lubuntu-logo.plymouth DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120328) Package: plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu28 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-20-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-20-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-20.33-generic 3.2.12 Tags: precise TextPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/lubuntu-text/lubuntu-text.plymouth Uname: Linux 3.2.0-20-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package.
