cryptdisks-early and crypdisks scripts don't wait for password

[Rodrigo Belem]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Hello all,

I followed the http://wiki.ubuntubrasil.org/SistemasdeArquivosCriptografados howto
using the Encrypted Swap and Home with LUKS. The script ask luks password but do not wait for user to type it. I'm using ubuntu edgy, updated, for powerpc.

I can confirm this problem in Edgy on x86. My /etc/crypttab has this line:

  crypt /dev/hda6

Dapper used to stop during boot and wait for the passphrase. Edgy does not. When I boot without "splash", I can see the failure message:

  Starting early crypto disks...
  Enter passphrase: Command failed: Key reading error

After the system comes up, I can run /etc/init.d/cryptdisks (or cryptdisks-early) by hand and it works fine; it waits for the passphrase and starts the encrypted device.

I have the same problem here.

Maybe this is "upstart" related?
