Public bug reported:
Symptoms:
The computer begins its boot process, then the root decryption password
prompt appears (via Plymouth) and I start typing. The first letters are
caught, but some letters are not captured. It's as if the keyboard shut
down during a few seconds and then returned, and I could type the whole
password properly.
Things I tried:
- Typing the password blindly (just inputting the entire password and hitting
Enter without worrying about missing characters) but it rejected the password
as incorrect.
- Typing decryption password without Plymouth (this is not a Plymouth bug).
This affects Debian 9 (didn't affect Debian 8), Fedora, Arch Linux and possibly
others. It cannot be reproduced with Ubuntu or other distributions with old
packages. Some component introduced this problem recently.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
