[Bug 692170] Re: numlock weirdness when typing passphrase

[Steve Langasek]

The behavior you're seeing is caused by the raw keycodes generated when
you press a key on the keypad when numlock is not engaged - the arrow
keys generate sequences that include the 'Esc' key, and the 'Esc' key is
the magic key that toggles plymouth between graphical and details mode.

You can simply press Esc again to get the splash screen.

Title:
  numlock weirdness when typing passphrase

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  I'm running an encrypted setup and I've noticed a bug since Ubuntu
  10.04 or so (running 10.10 now), if not earlier. Whenever I start
  inputting my passphrase and I type a digit without Num Lock enabled,
  Ubuntu takes me to the console, displaying the Enter passphrase dialog
  on a new line for each typed character, never returning to the new
  fancy plymouth boot screen.
