Public bug reported: My upgrade from trusty to utopic on my thinkpad X240 with a LUKS- encrypted / went smoothly enough. The only oddity was a period when I had to click into the terminal details and hit enter for it to complete. I'm not entirely sure what was waiting for input or if it is relevant, but when I rebooted I found myself without the 'ubuntu' entry in the EFI variables.
I didn't realise this at first, and the Canonical Technical Support folks advised me to use this tool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community /Boot-Repair which made the problem worse (It did not fix the EFI problem, and removed dm-crypt.ko from my initrd). I had to run efibootmgr to put it back, and start from an old kernel that had an unmolested initrd. I've restored boot functionality on my laptop now, but I'm curious what caused it to happen in the first place.
