Bug Description
This happens every time I upgrade between major versions of Ubuntu regardless of which computer I do it on.
This has been happening on every computer I install Ubuntu on going all the way back to Warty.
Every time there's a new distro upgrade I have to report this bug, wait around while you guys hem and haw, close the bug a few times, accusing me of being an idiot user, then around the fifth or sixth time I open a new bug reporting the problem you eventually get tired of closing bugs and investigate the problem. Then you go "Oh! Look, there really is a problem." Then a few days later an update shows up on my computer that fixes the problem.
When I upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10 and I have full-disk encryption on the system drive, the next time I start up the cursor is not in the password box where I'm supposed to type the password so I can't type the password I'm being prompted for to boot.
I have to go into recovery to skip the graphical boot screen, select "continue booting" from the menu, wait for I guess about five minutes to make sure Ubuntu is done doing things and is ready for my password, then blindly type my encryption password because the password prompt in this boot mode is there, but not visible.
Can we please just skip the closing the bug six or seven times this time and just fix the problem right away?
