Bug Description
This seems to be a follow-up to LP: 942846.
When using the alternate CD to install 12.04 with LVM + Full disk encryption, the resulting O/S has many problems :
- Unable to switch to virtual consoles : Alt-F1 with hang the graphical output, requiring hardware reset
- Cannot suspend (S3) : suspend will trigger but will result in a hung system and blank screen
- Switching user hangs on a blank screen
As outlined in LP: 942846, just after grub, the screen systematically displays :
error: no video mode activated
The screen will then switch to text mode, then ask for the LUKS password (picture attached)
Comment #6 in LP: 942846 indicates specificities with plymouth when used in conjunction with LUKS.
It is important to know that the same laptop (HP Elitebook 8440p) installed with the standard CD (ubiquity) without LUKS encryption on a separate disk DOES NOT show those problems. Both environments are still available.
First apport-collect: nvidia driver, cryptsetup installed (so plymouth in initramfs), no fb module gets loaded; previous boot failed (no vt.handoff=7 set)
