It's not really a server issue, but it could be related to booting. I've just updated my Karmic to Lucid on my laptop. I have an ecrypted home partition (with LUKS). I did not install it this way, but converted it later my hand. Now with Lucid I have problems on every boot. It asks me for the password (a nice textbox appears on the splash screen), but then it just waits there and I have to press S (skip) or M (mount/manual?), which doesn't work and I get a shell where I can mount it manually. I tried with nofb and without quiet and splash at the beginning, now it asks me in text mode, but the same thing happens, it's just sitting there, after I input the passphrase. I'm not even mentioning that there's no clear prompt because it's overwritten with other messages / scrolls up. Does anybody else have a problem with encrypted partitions at boot time? -- Imre Gergely Yahoo!: gergelyimre | ICQ#: 101510959 MSN: gergely_imre | GoogleTalk: gergelyimre gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x34525305 -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
