[Bug 1780885] Re: hangs at Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic (promptless password prompt)

[Andrew McLeod]

Further info: I am running bionic, upgraded from xenial -> zesty ->
bionic, and have done previous apt-get upgrade's in bionic without
running into this issue.

Title:
  hangs at Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic (promptless
  password prompt)

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug may more specifically be with dkms, but assume most people
  will hit it this way

  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade would hang at:

  Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic

  after a few seconds, keypresses/enter were not being registered, but
  there is a secret password prompt - i.e., at this point, when things
  appear to have hung, entering your password twice will continue the
  process. It may also be related to 'secure boot' but I am unsure.
