[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

reproducible with alternate installer as well.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Description changed:

- used ubiquity to perform a full-disk encryption in a vm.
+ reproducible with ubiquity or alternate installer in KVM virtual machine:
+ 1) select lvm + encrypted instalation
  
- 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.
+ 
+ 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) 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.
