Bug Description
My home drive is an encrypted LUKS partition. When it is mounted during boot upstart switches from a graphical boot splash screen to the terminal where it asks me for the password. It then continues to boot in text mode.
It works but this looks seriously tacky! It would be nice if there was a utility that could ask for the password graphically when upstart is running so that the user never leaves graphical boot screen. It would add a lot of polish to the end user experience...

This has nothing to do with upstart
