Bug Description
System:
Ubuntu Server 10.10
Packages:
apache plymouth
Description:
If you configure apache to use a password-protected SSL key. when apache booting with the system, it will ask you for a password. But the pass phrase dialog can't read the password from console. You must login on tty2, kill apache manually,then start it.
Solutions:
I find three way to fix it.
1)The first is in Bug #582963, I don't think this bug is because of apache.
Adding "stty sane" to /etc/init.
sed -e '/^ENV=/i stty sane' /etc/init.
2) and 3)will make plymouth can't start when the system is booting.
2)add "init=/sbin/init" at kernel boot command line
3)Stop self-starting plymouth (I can't uninstall it because of the dependencies)
sudo cd /etc/init
sudo tar -czvf initbak.tar.gz /etc/init
sudo rm /init/plymouth*

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
