[Bug 1840529] Re: System drop to emergency shell if encrypted home password was not provided

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  System drop to emergency shell if encrypted home password was not
  provided

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System drop to emergency shell if encrypted partition password was not provided.
  So I boot my computer, press enter multiple times and it drops to root shell.
  Also if I turned my computer on and didn't enter any password it will eventually drop to root shell.

  I've setup home directory on the encrypted partition.
