[Bug 1421312] [NEW] Clean Install with encrypted LVM fails to boot in splash - recovery works

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I installed Lubuntu 14.04.1 (32bit) with alternate Installer and used
the encrypted LVM setup option. The system wont boot - after a minute
waiting i see busybox initramfs.

in the initramfs i CAN open sda5 with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5
sda5_crypt

lvm -vgscan then DOES see my encrypted Logical Volumes (root and swap)

The system also does boot to tty1 when i use (recovery mode). actually i
tried changing all the bootparametes (that differ in normal and recovery
mode) live in grub and it only fails when I have the splash option
active.

So i guess the initramfs is not missing any modules it just tries to
boot before asking me for a password.

And I dont know what to do after opening my encrypted LV to retry a
normal boot from that point on. exiting initramfs gives errors. mounting
/dev/mapper/sda5_crypt to /root (or /) doesnt seem to be right, too.

(actually tried lubuntu 14.04.1-alternate 64, 14.04-alternate 32 and
14.04.1-desktop 64 alrdy - (some of them had problems during
"installation of software" but i think this is irrelevant) - was the
same upon booting)

The install works for UBuntu 14.04.1 - it will graphically ask me to
enter the password. Is this lightdm? whats missing here in lubuntu?
