Bug Description
Iso-testing Lubuntu Alternate i386 iso file, testcase 'Alternate Install (Encryption) in Lubuntu Alternate i386 in Xenial Xerus Daily (alias Alpha1 in this case)
The bug appears in the installed system:
The passphrase input-box for encrypted disk is not shown (and the plymouth dots are not shown either, only a dark blue background). Pressing some of the
ctrl + alt + (F1-F7) keys
and after that
Escape
brings a text screen with the text 'Please unlock disk sda5_crypt', and it is possible to enter the passphrase, and I arrive at the login screen.
(Otherwise the encrypted disk and also encrypted home work.)
*****
A better workaround (than hitting ctrl+alt+(F1-F7) keys and then Escape)
is to remove the boot options 'splash $vt_handoff'
You can do it 'live' after pressing the left shift key during boot and then the 'e' key.
-o-
You can actually enter the passphase while the dark blue screen (in Lubuntu) is displayed (without any help text and without feedback stars or dots). But it is confusing and would make most users think that the boot has failed. I did not think of it until I had a nights sleep ;-)
