I tried another test in an attempt to get /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password- agent to prompt for a password. I ensured no other systemd password agents were running (ps auxww | grep ask), then launched 'sudo /bin /systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch --console' in one terminal and launched 'sudo /bin/systemd-ask-password --no-tty --timeout=30 Test' in another terminal. The terminal with systemd-tty-ask-password-agent running never prompts for anything and after 30 seconds, the systemd- ask-password process times-out. It seems like there's some sort of bug that prevents systemd-tty-ask-password-agent from doing its job.
In an attempt to be thorough, I repeated the test after running 'sudo rm /lib/systemd/system/systemd-ask-password-*' and rebooting. I did this to ensure none of the agents were spawning via systemd path events and interfering with the direct test. Finally, I also repeated the test one more time via 'sudo strace -f /bin /systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch --console' and captured the strace output. That's attached as 'tty-agent.out'. It hangs at that final line indefinitely: 'read(6,' ** Attachment added: "strace output for ' /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch --console'" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1453912/+attachment/4540627/+files/tty-agent.out -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453912 Title: systemd does not unlock dm-crypt password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1453912/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
