encrypted lvm partition passphrase input

[alfredo]

Hello, just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. Can no longer enter the passphrase for my encrypted lvm partition. The inputfield does not accept any input!
Booting with option nosplash works.

Regards, Alfredo

The attached debug information shows that you are using uvesafb on boot. Why are you doing this instead of using the defaults? You also have a 'nosplash' argument, which implies you want to not have the splash screen - this isn't actually needed, if you don't want a splash you should just omit the default 'splash' argument (at times, using 'nosplash' has been read, buggily, as 'splash'.

[alfredo (software-zas)]

Thanks, no i have deinstalled uvesafb but have no vga console. If i use splash in the grub kernel line i cannot enter any thing. Deleting splash now yields in a black screen, but i can type in the passphrase an get an kde plasma workspace....
The uvesafb was configured in for a high resolution text console years ago...
I attach a new apport-collected utopic. In the dmesg output i found
                             NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
[ 44.525695] NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
[ 44.525696] NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console

Remember my NVIDA graphic card. And all things works without problems under 14.04!

Hello, may be an uefi problem. I have tested to boot with an encrypted bios-boot stick. Not perfect, but may be work.... Further investigation is needed.
Then i have made a binary copy of the initrd from the stick to my (uefi)-harddisk. Now I must boot without splash ! and enter the passphrase in a totally blank screen. After X is up, the system is usable.
Looking in a grub shell after initial-boot, the video-environment is totally different in bios and uefi mode. UEFI runs in higher resolution. May be a problem for the kernel.

So cryptosetup on my uefi-pc is really unusuable. Don´t know, how to make further tests.
The only thing i can say, in ubuntu 14.04 i can normally boot with splash screen and normal passphrase input.

Regards, Alfredo

[Nell Hardcastle (nell.h)]

I've also had this problem since upgrading to 14.10. Input is echoed to the screen rather than being accepted as the passphrase during boot, unless I boot without the splash screen enabled.
