Title:
  /scripts/local-top/kbdrate.sh: permission denied

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 14.04 from scratch with LUKS-cryptsetup, so I
  always need to type the password before the system can mount the
  harddisks.

  During start, if I press ESC when prompted for the password, I can see
  the console.

  There is an error message "/scripts/local-top/kbdrate.sh: permission
  denied".

  This error message also existed on Ubuntu 12.04.
