[Bug 1386005] [NEW] Password not accepted graphical boot for encrypted root system

[Ron Rusnak]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 14.10 from 14.04, I am unable to enter my password
for decypting the root filesystem.  The password is echoed in plaintext
on the  graphic boot screen and does not show up in the password entry
box  on the graphic.   In order to boot the system, I have to boot in
recovery mode and enter the password during the text mode boot.  This
problem was also described by another user in problem# 1385027.   I did
not have a probem in 14.04.   I am using nvidia drivers.   I am set to
resolution 1920x1200.  I am running module uvesafb with changes to
/etc/default/grub for the module and resolution.  I assume this is a
plymouth package bug but am not positive.
