cryptsetup stops after opening encrypted device

[Nicola Larosa]

This is on Karmic.

cryptsetup stops after opening the encrypted partition /dev/sda3 , where the /var, /home and swap volumes are located. The volumes are defined via lvm2.

The passphrase is asked and successfully recognized, and then the command freezes, preventing mounting the volumes on boot. No message is shown on screen.

The command works in another Karmic install in another partition, exiting correctly. Such a second install has not been upgraded since Tuesday 25, three days ago. However, the last change to the cryptsetup package is from May, so something else has probably changed.

I'm experiencing an issue with similar symptoms (enter password at boot, the drive unlocks but then nothing happens). I think my problem might be caused by changes to initramfs-tools that occurred after you reported your bug, however. Just so I can be sure that my problem is different than your problem, would you please list the packages that were updated between 2009-09-25 and the time you first noticed the bug? You can find this information in /var/log/dpkg.log.

Once you have posted this information, please change the status back to 'New'. Thanks!

With recent changes to upstart job, you should ensure that you use 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu4 version of cryptsetup package.

Are you still seeing this problem with the final release of Ubuntu 9.10?
