Comment 3 for bug 979971

Your description is very meandering and so it is difficult to discern what bug you are trying to describe. Let's try to focus it up. If I understand you correctly, you had no problem at all without truecrypt, but with truecrypt, you had difficulty installing grub to a partition instead of the MBR, and had to disable the vt.handoff boot option in order to get the luks prompt, and still gnome won't load?
