[Bug 1359689] Re: cryptsetup password prompt not shown

[Esokrates]

** Description changed:

  Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted
  setup:
  
- We press enter in grub, after a while screen turns completely black  and
- stays like this. When I press the down key, I can see the password
- prompt. When I press the up key again, I get to the graphical password
- prompt.
+ Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely
+ black) and stays like that. When I press the down key, I can see the
+ password prompt. When I press the up key again, I get to the graphical
+ password prompt.
+ 
+ This is demonstrated in the following screencast:
+ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7EMvd1LJKgZREJocHBueEhpa2s/edit?usp=sharing
  
  Maybe this is related to the version of plymouth utopic currently uses,
  a similar debian bug report seems to be resolved with a newer version
  0.9.0-6, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752752.
