To add one more data point, I hit the same problem when upgrading from Kubuntu 14.04 to 16.04.
Ondrej's workaround is also effective for my setup. In the end, the upgraded system was unusable for other problems as well so I did a fresh install. However, I kept the lvm volume group on luks device as my /home is there as well and I wanted to keep that. After installation from the Kubunut desktop disc (via usb flash drive) and setting up crypttab manually I still had the same problem: Entering the password via the graphical boot ignores the input. Hitting Alt- Cursor right and Alt-Cursor left I get a text screen with the password I entered. It's working in text mode thought. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386005 Title: Password not accepted graphical boot for encrypted root system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1386005/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
