Bug Description
I upgraded my laptop to Oneiric, made some LVM volumes, and designated one as a LUKS cryptdisk. When booting, it asks for the password. As I'm typing the password, its letters appear to the right of "· · · ·" which is below "Xubuntu 11.10". When the splash screen program rewrites "· · · ·", the next letter of the password appears right after the "·", making it useless if I needed to see what I'm typing, which I don't.
$ cat /etc/crypttab
# <target name> <source device> <key file> <options>
crypt /dev/mapper/
cryptdisks version 2:1.1.3-4ubuntu2
Once I type in the password, the OS mounts the filesystem and it behaves normally.

I updated packages and that fixed the bug (it's now booting with a GUI
screen, and shows big dots), but something went wrong with the Network
Manager widget. I'm now at a cybercafe connected with wire because the
wireless widget doesn't appear.
