Comment 6 for bug 434232

Hi, Steve,

the current situation is unbearable.

If I set up my encrypted /home exactly like all the HOWTOs say (i.e. manually after installation), the password prompt is not accessible unless switching back to the first text console. (And even there the password prompt is horribly broken and cluttered with other boot messages, but that is another story)

This is breaking working setups.

Unless the password prompt functionality is added to upstart, xsplash or KDM (or GDM) in the next few days, leaving things as they are is a really bad option prior to the impending Karmic release.
