[Bug 1038055] Re: fails to boot when used ubiquity to install with full disk encryption in kvm

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

** Description changed:

  used ubiquity to perform a full-disk encryption in a vm.
  
- After reboot, I hit the bug 699802 preventing me to boot.
+ it fails to boot, in a way that I get "no video mode activated" and I
+ cannot type the password in to unlock the drive.
  
  As a workaround, I had to:
- 1) select recovery mode
- 2) enter the password
- 3) resume normal boot
+ 1) force reboot machine
+ 2) then grub options come up
+ 3) select recovery mode
+ 4) then I can enter the password using text interface
+ 5) resume normal boot
+ 
+ Disabling splash, brings up text interface to unlock the drive & allows
+ to boot.
