Coincidentally, today as the machine was starting up I saw a password request flash up on tty7 (the graphical interface) between the screen changing from black to colour and before the login manager was displayed.
Never noticed that in the 10 weeks the the encrypted partition has been installed. Output of commands is as follows: =================== cat /etc/scftab UUID=a7ec58a8-8bcd-4e03-b380-a49a0dd82884 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/md0 /data ext4 defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/37e1f51f-a028-48ab-890f-c4477abf97a9 /media/molly/enc1 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,noexec,user 0 0 ================= cat /etc/crypttab # <target name> <source device> <key file> <options> luks-sda5 UUID=b882f339-5b12-4a5f-9ff5-88ae4f268a44 none nofail ================= sudo blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="a7ec58a8-8bcd-4e03-b380-a49a0dd82884" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0007ff10-01" /dev/sda5: UUID="b882f339-5b12-4a5f-9ff5-88ae4f268a44" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTUUID="0007ff10-05" /dev/sdb1: UUID="d359b975-5de8-f828-fcc7-0993cc19e4ba" UUID_SUB="14403c39-4f34-4d86-1838-04cb02a3da7e" LABEL="molly:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="df7318c0-01" /dev/sdc1: UUID="d359b975-5de8-f828-fcc7-0993cc19e4ba" UUID_SUB="dc1204f2-2dfe-9a21-f63e-e9dfd3430081" LABEL="molly:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="da4827b0-01" /dev/sdd1: UUID="d359b975-5de8-f828-fcc7-0993cc19e4ba" UUID_SUB="ad15845d-c978-000a-1048-e6956508f2a7" LABEL="molly:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTUUID="f668aaf9-01" /dev/md0: UUID="c7666242-e844-47e5-ab8f-1c09c207d879" TYPE="ext4" /dev/zram0: UUID="ab2358f5-ca32-497d-a643-1e88477a94ab" TYPE="swap" /dev/zram1: UUID="c8745370-2a23-4e7e-a5e4-e81cdc6d27fe" TYPE="swap" /dev/zram2: UUID="d9366f7f-62f3-43b4-a9d1-ec6f317e9cc3" TYPE="swap" /dev/zram3: UUID="9e96ead1-906f-4d9c-be4a-706bffb4641d" TYPE="swap" molly@molly:~$ ================= -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1489630 Title: Random Software Updates request password for encrypted partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1489630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
