Comment 67 for bug 1359689

I too am affected. I get the same effect as #60 and #61, where the password box is apparently "out of focus". If I blindly type my password, nothing happens, and if I ctrl-alt-1 and ctrl-alt-7, I see my password sitting there in plain text. Removing splash from /etc/default/grub allows me to boot, but I don't get a splash screen, of course. :-)
