[Bug 2041736] Re: dm crypt unlock prompt doesn't respond to key presses

[Mike Ferreira]

RE : https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2492034

Just my thoughts to add to this... I asked him to file his bug report.

He originally though it had something to do with cryptsetup. I felt it
wasn't a dm-cript or LUKS problem.

He filed this bug against Plymouth, because I guess he thought it
happened during Plymouth boot. Lunar & Mantic use the same plymouth
package version... So I do not think that would not affect it in the
release upgrade.

I asked this user to file his bug against package console-setup, as that
is what controls the keyboard mapping files during that process period,
and Lunar & Mantic have different versions of that package between them.
That is what I suspect. But filing it against plymouth did not collect
that information for you.

Sidenote: apport-collect failed for this user here with a permissions problem, and failed to collect boot.log
...
BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log'
...
Permission for that log is now:
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Oct 16 00:00 /var/log/boot.log
...which you cannot open it without explicitly being the root user. Does that need to be reported to fix apport-collect? Should I open a bug on that?

Title:
  dm crypt unlock prompt doesn't respond to key presses

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading my MacbookPro 14,1 from 23.04 to 23.10 dm-crypt unlock prompt doesn't respond to key presses and I'm not able to type in my password to unlock the disk.
  The only option that works now is to boot with the kernel left from 23.04 (6.2.0-35-generic).
  Any tips to troubleshoot the issue would be much appreciated.
