Bug Description
I upgraded my laptop with an external display from 17.04 to 17.10 and now the prompt for entering my encrypted passphrase only appears on the laptop's internal display. I didn't realize this and presumably the laptop was stuck waiting for my passphrase when I went to bed and sometime in the middle of the night the battery ran out and I was awoken by a loud beep from the laptop. That was rather unpleasant but not terribly relevant to the bug.
